  • Skin Solutions by Serondo Skin and Surgical Clinic
    Posted in: Services

    Most people don’t really get facials because: A. They don’t see the point in it, and, B. They’re not really keen on getting professional skin solutions for their derma-problems. My opinion was both A and B a couple of years back. I figured that I could simply just wash my face and exfoliate. That worked for […]

    Posted in: Events

    Ya’ll know that I didn’t get to go on vacation this summer, right? Unfortunately, that’s how it is when you’re a freelance writer working through UpWork. However, I did get to experience a couple of upsides while the heat was on in the City of Smiles: #1 got to spend a lot of time with my son, and […]

  • Kabbara Cafe: MORE Bacolod Lebanese Food
    Posted in: Where and What to Eat

    My husband worked in Saudi Arabia for about a year. When he came home, he had already developed the skill for speaking Arabic (though not fluently) as well as the taste for Middle Eastern food. It was inevitable for him to miss both. Although it has been hard for him to find someone to speak Arabic with, […]

  • UNIQLO Bacolod Opening Today
    Posted in: Products

    In my opinion, UNIQLO is beloved by many because of one main thing: they make comfortable yet fashionable everyday wear. The clothes that you’ll find in their stores are simple and of good quality, but the clothes bear with them an air of modern elegance. Today, June 17, 2016, UNIQLO Bacolod, the very first one in the […]

    Posted in: Events

    About 75% – that’s how much of summer has already gone by. For some of us, we haven’t even had our first trip to the beach or to the pool yet because, well, life happens. We still have that 25% though, and we have to make sure that every moment counts because summer waits for […]

    Posted in: Events

    Next ReKindle Run Check the PAGE for event details ReKindle has been happening since late last year, I think. The team has already done 3 runs, but I feel like people still think that ReKindle is only for the artsy-fartsy crowd who wear all black, paired with dark rimmed glasses (pardon the stereotype).Nope.

  • A Gallery fit for Helena: Jojo Vito Designs Gallery
    Posted in: What to Do, Where to Go

    The Jojo Vito Designs Gallery reminds me so much of Neil Gaiman’s Mirror Mask, where the main character, Helena, found herself in a dreamland filled with peculiar yet fascinating creatures. You should see the movie, if you haven’t already, because it’s visually satisfying and creatively stimulating. But, back to Jojo Vito Designs Gallery. I’ve heard of the name […]
