It’s not every day that you find a Bacolod business owner on the front page of a prestigious magazine that started as a passion project back in 2005. I’d like to extend my CONGRATULATIONS to Jonathan Lo, the CEO of the much-loved Merzci Pasalubong Center, for making it to the cover of Southwall Magazine. Southwall Magazine’s […]
It’s a bit disappointing to say that not all Filipinos see the value in insurance and investments. Heck, based on a survey by done Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ earlier this year, 86% of us don’t even have a deposit account in the bank. It’s surprising, I know. How would one expect to live brighter without knowing […]
Last year, EigasaiPH graced the City of Smiles with a treat for those who are fans of Japanese films. They brought several FREE MOVIES for the public to watch. This year, they are coming back to do it all over again. EigasaiPH is making its way to Bacolod this August 2018. For the EigasaiPH Bacolod Schedule, […]

It’s also welcoming another addition to its array of bars, pubs, and lounges that show off the city’s nightlife. Seda’s Straight Up roof deck bar is officially open. Seda Hotel: Straight Up Bar […]
Petron Best Day – When you think of Negros Occidental, that is if you even heard of it, the first word that probably comes to your mind is “probinsiya.” Commonly, those of you who have not visited my hometown yet might have images of Negrenses (people from here) riding water buffalos around town. That does […]
#makeITsafePH – When you go to Google and search for the meaning of stalking, you’ll get “pursue or approach stealthily.” Way back, before social media platforms were a thing, stalkers would have to wait for you to go out of your office or your house, then stalk you. Today, with the advent of social media, […]
Overview Here in Bacolod, we have plenty of homegrown favorites that we simply cannot get enough of. I have my own list of favorite dishes that includes Chicken Inasal, a slew of bbq-ed innards, and backribs. It’s easy to get the inasal and bbq-ed innards because there’s practically one “sulugbahan” (where you can buy grilled deliciousness) […]
Months ago, if you asked me if I was interested in going to the gym, I would have said no. I didn’t see myself as the kind of person who focused on physical fitness. But, my perspective started to change when I did yoga. After consistently doing the practice for months, I decided to try […]
Did you know that Bob’s Restaurant Bacolod is one of the pioneers in the City of Smiles restaurant scene? It’s been in operation since 1965. Through the years, it has been the go-to place for family meals and desserts with its affordable American and Filipino menu. Despite its age, Bob’s Restaurant Bacolod continues to innovate […]
How has your week been? Personally, mine has been productive. I’ve been juggling work, yoga, and chores from Monday to Friday. So far, I’ve been handling my schedule well. But, let’s not get into that because it’s the weekend. All I need to focus on right now is where to have a family weekend adventure […]
When you mention Magic Flakes, Crackers, or Creams, you logically think about snacks since Magic Crackers, and all its varieties were specifically created so Filipinos can have something to nibble on in between meals. However, recently, with the popular cracker brand releasing its first mobile app, we might have to think differently. Magic Crackers is […]
We are all used to circuses where we see acrobats, jugglers, clowns, and exotic animals. This summer, Bacolodnons are treated with a different kind of circus that’s beyond the traditional. Instead of watching trapeze flyers, audiences get to interact with exhibits that boggle the senses but broaden the mind. The Science Circus is in town. […]
The summertime is here! Well, not officially since April hasn’t arrived yet. But, the kids from school are already hanging up their back-packs and retiring their old black school shoes. It’s time to go on vacations, explore, and spend plenty of time with the family. Lucky us who are living on the Negros Islands because we […]
We commonly use Downy fabric conditioner on clothes since that’s what it’s meant for. However, there are other practical uses of the product that many of us don’t know about. As a mom, you have to get creative to get the most out of the products you use. In this guide, I’ll share how I use […]
Last time, I wrote about the opening of the cinemas at CityMall Mandalagan and Victorias. Recently, CityMall Mandalagan just added a new movie theater feature that will make more Bacolodnons want to enjoy a film within its doors. CityMall Mandalagan is the first movie theater with recliners in Bacolod. If that doesn’t amp up your […]
Overview “Dangerously Addictive” – with this kind of tagline, you really have to wonder how Irvins Salted Egg Potato Chips taste like. In case you didn’t know, Irvins Salted Egg is a snack. Basically, you can imagine potato chips with a coating of egg yolks. It was originally sold in Singapore but, it has reached […]
2017 was probably the year that allowed me to learn the most life lessons. Whether it was in the area of love, family, business, health, friendship or blogging, I had more epiphanies than I could chew. But, that’s a good thing. Although I didn’t want extra stress in my life, I couldn’t do anything about […]
I love to watch movies. About a year ago, there was a point in my life where I watched about three (3) movies per day. Whenever I went on a break from work, I grabbed my phone and streamed indie, black and white, or French movies. Fast forward to now, I learned to stop binge-watching […]
I have always wanted a house of my own. In case you didn’t know, I and my family have been co-living with my partner’s parents. While we co-live harmoniously, it’s always good to get a head start on finding a house of your own. Currently, there are plenty of subdivisions within Metro Bacolod with units […]
Why You Should Start Attending Yoga Classes I only started doing yoga semi-seriously this year. I was consistently putting off attending a class the year before this because I thought that yoga was only for thin people. I opted for the DIY approach for my yoga classes to avoid being in a group; I started […]
