If there's one place you should not miss during Masskara Festival,it would be LACSON STREET---never! This is the happening street where street parties,hawker food, overflowing booze and fun crowd converge.For weeks during the event,a few kilometers of this main artery starting from th…
I though I have given up on blogging about churches long time ago even before my interest on it peaked.Thinking about it now,I wonder why I lost heart.Maybe because I thought it's unfair that more often than not,many places are highlighted by a 'Catholic Church' as an attr…
The last heritage house we visited was a unique one.We were greeted by a woman probably in her late 40's posing in front of a white table with some delicacies on it.We were told to sample the food and I thought it would be a mere food tasting moment.But it was probably the best-ever f…

I was on Libertad-Araneta Streets in the afternoon of Oct.21,2012 fighting off the tears. I have long discounted going to big festivals thinking that crowds are too much for me to handle not realizing what I was missing all this time.Then in the middle of lively music,the enthusiastic…
There are so many accommodations in Bacolod City.But during Masskara Festival,finding one could prove to be a big challenge.So if you are planning to fly to the City of Smiles during Masskara,I would suggest you book ahead.I made up my mind two months before the Oct.20 finale but room…
