Last night, I attended the Iloilo Dutch Pancake Night organized by Robin Vogelaar. He travels around the world and organizes a pancake night in places he goes to. To know more about the hows and whys of this event, here’s his Tedx talk: Continue reading “Dutch Pancake Night in Iloilo: A Night with Iloilo Couchsurfers and Friends” →
I’ve been following Cinematheque Iloilo’s Facebook page for quite a while now and my sister’s been tagging me in their movie schedule posts but it’s only last Friday that I was able to try watching there. Due to a busy schedule and, real reason, expensive movie tickets in malls, I wasn’t able to watch movies from Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino.

Last month, my sister and I joined the Downtown Iloilo Food Crawl organized by the Google Business Group, a meetup of Local Guides to map out restaurants around the downtown area. This time around, we went to different art galleries within the city, again sponsored by GBG, and Foton / Chevrolet Iloilo. Continue reading “Iloilo Art Gallery Tour” →
Damires Hills Tierra Verde has always come up whenever suggestions for a quick getaway is in talks with my groups of friends, the reason why I’ve been there a couple of times already. It’s also easy to commute to from Iloilo City. Continue reading “Damires Hills Tierra Verde, Janiuay, Iloilo” →
Note: This is not a sponsored post or a food critique post. This is entirely just my experience joining the said event.
I joined the Downtown Iloilo Food Crawl organized by the Google Business Group – Iloilo for three reasons. First, and seriously the main reason, is because food is FREEEEE! Before I get to the other two reasons, I’ll give a bit of a background about this event. Continue reading “First Downtown Iloilo Food Crawl” →
Pototan and nearby towns were more of agricultural towns. It only makes sense that we compensate with inland resorts and recreational farms because we don’t have beaches to explore and mountains to climb.
Within Pototan, we have Happy Farm and Mapols Farm. But this Holy Week, my sister and her friends went to Jade Energetic Farm and Ephrathah Farm in Badiangan, Iloilo. They went there by motorcycles, which was about 20-40 minutes (my sister’s estimate) from our town. These two destinations were near each other. There were also plenty of signage directing you there, according to my sister, so you will not get lost. Continue reading “Recreational Farm Hopping: Jade Energetic Farm and Ephrathah Farm” →
“Kasadya gali mag-bazaar.” I overheard someone from a nearby booth said when we joined another bazaar event a few days ago. They were, I assume, a group of friends selling their preloved items. Yes, I agree it’s fun especially with a few bloopers along the way but with the fun comes some strategic (lol) planning, physical exertion and marketing among the other things to consider.
My sister and I, we admit within ourselves that we are true blue hoarders. We think it’s one of the reasons why our mother would always scold us having a “forest” as a bedroom, or at times a “garbage dump” bedroom. We have an impulse to buy unnecessary stuff and have issues of letting go… of material stuff.
And so, garage sales and bazaars appealed to us because of the opportunity to make money out of our bad habit. The first time we joined an event was four years ago, I think. I was still working as an English tutor for Koreans. I happened to see a tarpaulin for a garage sale and despite hesitation every now and then, I eventually inquired and had my co-teachers join in with me.

*This is not an itinerary post. I’ll just post photos and some facts for your reference.
As a nurse, I was assigned in the OR-DR-PACU and it was a special area with super high levels of toxicity. So when a chance presented itself, many of us grabbed the opportunity to be stress-free for two days. Continue reading “Seize Sicogon!” →
It was Baby Barbie’s christening (my cousin’s daughter) and I stood as godmother. She was indeed special because it so happened that her mother gave birth to her when she was admitted for dengue. And it so happened I was the nurse in duty that very early in the morning.
It was held in Passi so my other cousin, aunt and uncle invited us to go with them to Cabas-an Cold Springs since it’s just near. Continue reading “Cabas-an Cold Springs” →
