Food Porn Bacolod Edition

I am required to go to Bacolod and Iloilo EVERY WEEK and it get's pretty tiring sometimes. The fact that I have to get up 3 hours before an early morning departure schedule, and that I had to endure a bumpy fastcraft ride en route from Iloilo to Bacolod or vice versa, and that I had to pack and unpack every week, and that I sometimes get some really creepy experiences in the hotel, and that I have to be away from my family and friends in Cebu are but a few reasons that I loathe having to go outfor travel assignments.

But there's this one place that I love about Bacolod. This is the reason why I just dont get tired of my Bacolod-Iloilo assignments--- CALEA.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to dessert heaven. :)

I will start my 3-month assignment here in 2 weeks. It's a bit of a bad news for me but hey, Calea and Boracay are just a few hours away. I'm starting to love the thought of moving here despite.

PS. You guys have got to try their blueberry cheesecake, it's monumental. Their version practically SLAUGHTERED all the cheesecakes Ive tried in my life.

Happy Birthday, Dad...

For the random phone conversations about life.
For always praying for me.
For the neck massages and the pats in the back.
For the corny jokes that crack me up nonetheless.

For being so patient at teaching me boxing when I was a kid.
For defending me from the bigger boys when I was too afraid to fight back.
For the karate lessons. For my crazy childhood haircuts.
For the signature Sunday humba and lechon kawali cooked just for me.

Thank you.

But most of all, Dad, I thank you for just being you.
And for making me feel that it's totally okay to be me when I'm around you.

Cheers to long life. Happy birthday! I love you.

Future

I'm not exactly a big fan of the unknown, but a few hours ago I got caught up with a rather awkward situation with Bacolod's most known fortune-teller. His name is Potter, and I met him through a Bacolod-based friend who happens to be a huge believer of magic and feng shui and stuff of this nature.

It's not that I do not like having my future told, it's just really awkward having someone say something about your past, present and future, being sniffed like an open can of puppy chow.

I had my card-reading, crystal ball reading, palm-reading and numerology session with Potter. Im not a hardcore believer, but I was caught in awe at how he got to read my past like he knew me since I was a kid. He told me a lot about my previous relationships, my family life, my career, and he was able to say some very specific things about some secrets not even my closest friends knew about. It freaked the hell out of me, but I was just as entertained.

And then we talked about the future.

Career. He said I'll be overworked for the next 2 years but I will be highly-compensated. He saw a lot of travel. And I will be leaving the country for good at age 33.

Health. I should control my food intake. And I should focus on a healthy heart.

Family. I will be everyone's pillar of strength. (Obviously Im the bread winner so what do you expect?) One of my nephews will be my source of good luck.

Money and business. Putting up a restaurant will be my lucky streak. And a hardware. (Hardware???)

And most importantly--- LOVE. Who will I end up with? The answer was interesting. He said I'll end up with someone in the past. That we'll both meet in the future, and it will happen outside of the country, and we'll both fall madly in love with each other again. I almost fell out of my seat when he said that.

Well I hope was he was making it all up. Or half of it.

So now Im seated at a quiet corner in the hotel room pondering:

What if he really has the gift to foretell someone's future? What if all of it were true? Did I just kill the suspense?

VFort Live In Cebu

Cebu will soon play host to a unique concert event. Aside from hearing (and seeing!) America's famous alternative rock band, Vertical Horizon, Cebuanos can look forward to meeting Philippines' newest all-male singing group – VFort – together in a rare concert on April 29 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

VFort, short for Voice Fort, boasts of three goodlooking and equally-talented members who were handpicked from the “100 Bachelors” event produced by Vivre Fort Entertainment.

Composed of Visam Arenas, Toff Guela and Kerwin Caballero, VFort has successfully released their first album under Viva Records, The Love Band Project, last April 9, with a grand launch set on the 21st at the Metro Bar in West Avenue, Quezon City.

Currently enjoying good reviews of their carrier single, Prinsesa, VFort is set to capture the hearts of Cebuano fans with their such other songs as The Coffee Song, Sweetheart, Still, and a remake of Pink's hit song Just Like A Pill.

Meet OPM's newest heartthrobs on April 29 or get to know them and their songs by visiting www.vfortband.com.

Dakak

My summer's getting better and better as I pack my things up for a 3-day trip to Dakak. It's gonna be my second time in Dipolog, and my first time in the historic province of Dapitan. And then of course it will be my first time time to experience the powdery white sand beach of Dakak.

I am preparing my summer lootbag--- cant go out without my sunblock and all the works. I'm low-maintenance so packing up really isnt that complicated. :)

Next week, San Carlos City and then Boracay. 

Cancelled

The way I feel about you is NOT the question here, you know you're special, but I wont be ready til you show me that you're ready.

YOU NEED TO SETTLE YOUR ISSUES NOW.

When I pass you by, embrace me, and never let me go. Coz if you do, then you pass the chance. I will never walk the same road twice, nor will I ever allow myself to make the same mistakes again.

Cancel all your plans as you wish, it doesn't threaten me one bit. It only goes to show that youre still not ready to show people that youre willing to fight for me.

Hardwork
