Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc. (SLAMCI) has now made it possible for Filipinos (not just Bacolodnons) to give their loved ones the gift of investment through the Sun Life Prosperity Card. I know that it’s not the most exciting gift to give but it’s one of the smartest. Over the years, we’ve given so many […]
The first time I heard of a medical hotline (or, more appropriately a medical app) was when I was watching reruns of Dr. Phil. I can’t remember who exactly developed the app but what it let you do is get in touch with a doctor, lickety-split, on your smartphone. It even had a video and […]
When you live in Negros Occidental, all you have to do is go on a road trip to somewhere fairly far to see its beauty. Personally, I wouldn’t dare to go on a road trip by myself because I’m very bad with directions and I’m not too confident with my car fixing skills when an emergency happens. Luckily, […]
It’s already Valentine’s Day tomorrow. If you’re reading this now, you probably forgot to plan or get something for your wife or girlfriend. DON’T PANIC. It happens especially if life catches up with you. Mayo pato sing highschool, ga baha ang boys nga ga dala flowers. But anyway, there are still a few hours before V-day hits and […]
Vikings Bacolod is also celebrating this year’s Valentine’s day by presenting 10 sumptuous dishes that everyone can enjoy. These 10 dishes were specifically created for this year’s Valentine’s Day, so yes, you could say that it’s going to be a very special Sunday at Vikings Bacolod tomorrow. Love will definitely be celebrated – mostly the love for food – with […]
I have always wanted to taste some of Quino’s hot dogs and finally, one Sunday afternoon at the District North Point, I and my family visited the cafe to snack on some. The Cafe at Ayala First off, I have always liked hanging out at Quino’s when we are at The District North, otherwise known […]
About a week ago, Kuya J invited the Negros Bloggers to dine and meet Jericho Rosales. As the restaurant is new in the city, I was looking forward to experiencing Filipino food, the Kuya J way. It was also during this rare time that I wore full coverage foundation – para presentable man mag tubang kay […]
Chifa Comida Latino is probably the only Peruvian restaurant in the City of Smiles (I could be wrong, though). So, since Peruvian dishes are served in the fairly new restaurant, you’re probably wondering why my title involves “Chinese”. Well, as explained by the owners Luis Kilayko and Paolo Consing, Chifa is actually a term used in Peru which refers […]
SM City Bacolod is once again presenting ZOOFARI – an indoor zoo featuring different animal groups. The event is already on its 6th year but even if it has been around for a while, Bacolodnons still cannot get enough of it. Information Location You’ll find ZOOFARI where the former SM appliance center was, at the back […]
I always look forward to Saturdays and Sundays because, apart from the usual family activities we have, I get to visit RIBS and MORE at the Negros Farmer’s Weekend Market. The stand is owned by the Aves family. They’re right next to our juice stand which makes their delicious menus easily accessible. Tulok pa lang sa […]
Have you been following my blog religiously? Then you should already know by now that I am part of an elite paramilitary organization: ” Eagle Scouts”. No I’m kidding. That was a excerpt from the 1984 movie: “Red Dawn”. I’m actually part of the Negros Bloggers or, more officially, the Negrense Blogging Society, Inc. (NBSI). I joined […]
In case you haven’t heard, a group of individuals from the city started an event called ReKindle which aims to bring old and new artists together. It’s also an event that allows sleeping artists (this may be you) to showcase their work and get appreciated. I attended the second event which was named ReLight last December […]
I’m not sure if it’s out of pure curiosity or out of the pure love for eating burgers but no matter what the reason is, Burger King is a HIT with Bacolodnons. I know this because I attended the opening of the store and went back a couple of times after that. During the opening, onlookers where […]
I must admit that with my 28 years of living in Bacolod City, there’s still a lot of experiences I haven’t tried before. It was, however, during the last few months of 2015 that I crossed off one of the items on my “must visit” list. The Welcome Home Foundation Cafe invited me over for a healthful […]
I’ve mentioned Sitting Duck to a few of my friends before and I don’t know why they associate it with Chinese cooking. It’s probably the “Duck” part and I do have to admit that the name rhymes with Peking Duck which is a popular Chinese dish. Let me do a bit of notion-busting by writing a review […]
At Vikings Bacolod, I ate 17 different things – first of all, don’t judge me. As a Bacolodnon, I have an innate desire of tasting and experiencing every type of food you serve in front of me. Naturally, when I saw how vast the Vikings Bacolod spread was, I immediately formulated a technique in my head on […]
Campuestohan Rides – the resort doesn’t just have sites to see, it also has rides to experience, about 5 of them. This is now Part 2 of my close-to-ultimate guide to Campuestohan which will focus on just that. You can check out Part 1 over here. Hamster Wheel Ticket Cost: P100/ person Details: Starts at […]
On October 22, Samsung visited the City of Smiles with their Samsung Happy Home Roadshow. I, along with team NBSI (Negros Bloggers), was invited to see their show that went down at the District North Point. My afternoon there was filled with “oohs” and “aahs” as I was listening and taking pictures of the various home […]
I absolutely need a new phone for the new year. If you’ve told yourself this a couple of times during these past few months, you’ve been feeling the same things I have. Unfortunately, for me, I’d have to wait until August because I already have a Globe Postpaid Plan and August is when the contract expires […]
HAPI hosted the first ever ReKindle at Tazoon Cafe on Oct 31, 2015. One of the aims of the event was to increase peoples’ awareness of current issues that many individuals sweep under the rug – gender identity, HIV, environmental issues as well as body image. Artistically, it also aimed to bridge the gap between new local artists […]
