Swimming at Palmas del Mar

April 8th, 2010 by admin


Yesterday, my husband and I took our daughter for a swim at Palmas del Mar Hotel and Resort. It has been quite a while since we have been there. I think that was when I was still pregnant with my daughter and she is already 1 year and 1 month old now. So that would [...]

Walks at the Capitol Lagoon

March 29th, 2010 by admin


We just came home from a walk around the Capitol Lagoon.
Earlier tonight we just thought of going to take a walk. Then it came out that my parents in law also wanted to go. So my husband, my daughter and my in-laws went there.
We enjoyed the cool breeze tonight. Summer is here, hot but [...]

Summer Camping

March 29th, 2010 by admin


Ahhh …. it’s summer!!!! At least in our part of the world. I can already feel the sweltering heat, especially from around 9:30am until about 5-6pm. It is really hot. We live on the third floor of a commercial building, so that means we are near the sun by a few feet. It is [...]

Benjamin Hall: Party Venue

March 22nd, 2010 by admin


We held our child’s birthday party at Benjamin Hall and we just hired a caterer for the affair.
I found that the venue had nice amenities and very attractive interior. It looked well in the picture. Their booking officer was also very accommodating and amiable. I don’t think she has disgruntled customers. She is very warm [...]

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 [...]

Spa Natura: A New Spa in Bacolod

March 2nd, 2010 by admin


Well I learned that a new spa–bigger and with more modern facilities–will be opening soon here in Bacolod City. It is called Spa Natura, and it is a day spa by the Blade Salon and Spa.
I heard that the area alone is 400 square meters of blissful space, well designed and arranged to give the [...]

Midnight Sale

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 [...]
