Travelling This Summer

March 17th, 2010 by admin


I would really, really want to go somewhere this summer. Even if it is just 3 days or a week, as long as I get to go somewhere relaxing. Like a beach resort perhaps somewhere in Sipalay City, Negros Occidental? Or even Dumaguete. I would not want to go during the Holy Week though as [...]

December 18th, 2009 by admin


Again, my husband and I together with my 9-month-old baby traversed the traffic jam in order to get to the Midnight Sale of Gaisano City Bacolod. And why not? For a 20% discount on most items, we dared go.
Surprisingly, there are not that many shoppers tonight. Maybe it is because there is a repeat tomorrow [...]

Lagoon vs Plaza

October 27th, 2009 by admin


Today, my family had a wonderful time at the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol Lagoon. It was a breezy afternoon. Around 5:30 pm, we went there and got out our baby’s new walker. She enjoyed walking in the cool park, with its semi-fresh air, trees, music, and many people going around.
The Capitol Lagoon is truly a [...]

Starbucks in Bacolod

June 14th, 2009 by admin


Starbucks opened in Bacolod City I think early this year. I am not sure. I have not gone out much since I got pregnant.
If not for other bloggers, I never went into the place. I have gone to Starbucks in Manila and Singapore and for me, they are the same. And for me, I [...]

Photos of My Dreamhouse

June 9th, 2009 by admin


Well, here are the photos of Chateau de Farcheville. Sigh…such a lovely, lovely place… Something that I could only visit in my dreams. But really, it is like deja vu, because when I was still a child, I had imagined myself in similar surroundings. I can only imagine.

I Have Found My DreamHouse!

June 9th, 2009 by admin


Yep! I have found my dream house, and it is located not in a nearby village but in France, 25 kms away from Paris. It is a lovely medieval castle called the Chateau de Farcheville, with 12 bedrooms, a cobblestone courtyard, an indoor swimming pool, and personal hunting grounds. And it is for sale for [...]

Just by roaming around The Ruins in Talisay City, you would already feel [...]

Christmas Started Early at 888 Chinatown Square

December 2nd, 2008 by admin


Christmas started early at the newest mall in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental–888 Chinatown Square. Going there is like seeing a Festival of Lights as the entire mall is lit up all over from sundown. It is probably the brightest commercial edifice in Bacolod today.
888 only opened this year and it has its fair share of [...]

I don’t think I can eat in this restaurant

July 17th, 2008 by admin


Here is something for you. If given the chance, would you eat here?Excerpt from an article from USA??????Here’s a dining concept that’ll make your head if not your stomach spin: It’s dinner at a table suspended 165 feet in the air with chairs that swivel 180 degrees.
Dubbed “Dinner in the Sky,” the attraction made its [...]

The Ruins

June 26th, 2008 by admin


My husband and I had a lovely afternoon today. Despite the rain clouds attempting to pour, I believe that God held it back to allow my hubby and I our post anniversary date.
We decided to hit many birds with just one trip, so we went to potential clients and also had photo opps in two [...]
