A Weekend in Bacolod

I've been wanting to go there since my mom told me that all of her relatives and lola's were native of Bacolod. Kaya pala pag naguusap sila ng mga Tita ko nag iilonggo di ko naman maintindihan.

So anyway - went to Bacolod last Saturday. Panu nga ba nagstart?
Noni texted me 2-3 weeks ago.
Noni - "L.A gusto ko mag-bacolod!"
L.A - "tara!"
Noni - "huwaaaaa teka sandali na eexcite ako...."
L.A - "Ako din!!! kelan to?"
Noni - "13th to 15th..para makaattend narin ng Xmas party ng Convergys Bacolod!!!"
L.A - "oh! I-book na yan! leshgo!"
Noni - "AYAN!!! NAKA BOOK NA TAYU!!!"

So ayan...in other words kaladkarin talaga kami ni Noni. And good thing Aidi was able to go with us din. ayan tatlo na kami! dizizit! ang konti kong naimpok + 13th month...dalhin na sa Bacolod! hahahaha!

We took an early flight to Bacolod via Cebu Pacific. Took off @ 4:40AM..actually napa-aga ang alis it's not so like Cebu Pac.

And mejo funny din noh kasi akala ko kami lang ang may dala ng Krispy Kreme...aba...ang dami din palang mga passengers na may dala ding KK papuntang Bacolod. Ayus!

hehehehe...landed in the New Bacolod Airport...lumabas...at lumanghap ng sariwang hangin!

First stop: Lakawon Island.
It's soooo preeeetttyyy... oh so preeetttyyyy! 15min boat ride papuntang island. We stayed there from 10AM to 3PM. And what did we do...BEACH BUMMING!

And the food is excellent! Kilawin, Liempo, Tinola, pansit (dahil bday ko daw..nung 9th..) and garlic rice!

After long hours of photoshoot, sunbathing, and swimming - we pack-up and went to Bacolod City. Ito na...pinatos namin ang Ceres Bus na ordinary sa kagustuhang makapag check-in ng maaga...

Si Noni nasa harap ko window side - sobrang antok na kami dahil galing pa kami ng shift..so tulog kami ng buong biyahe..so kamustahin natin si noni sa pagtulog nya...

Konduktor: "Day, day ang imo ulo lumalabas na sa bintana!
Noni - naalimpungatan...sabay lingon kay Kuya at tumingin sakin.."huh?"
L.A - pumupungas-pungas "yung ulo mo daw...lumalabas na sa bintana.."

So lahat na kami gising na! hahahaha! The next thing we know we got passed by Convergys Bacolod!!!! Huwaaa!!! shempre ang ingay namin sa bus! kanya-kanya kaming "uy ang ganda ng site nila! amazing! wonderful! proud! happy!" ayan ganyan kami!

So, mejo dinner time na kami nakapag check in sa Circle Inn. Dropped our bags and then off to SM Bacolod - akalain mo nga naman...nagawa pa namin mag SM muntikan narin mag Jollibee.."please wag naman!".

We had our dinner sa Manukan sa side lang ng SM. Ang dami nilang restau dun ha! Aida's yata yung kinainan namin...sarap to the bones ito! Sa halagang 50pesos may malaking hita nako and yung rice nila sulit din! --- icombine mo ang 2 rice sa jollibee...oh diba sulit! At sa Manukan bawal ang kutsara at tinidor..kamay kung kamay ito..yes! Let's do this the Filipino style! amazing!


After dinner, i texted my former TL, Nena. We haven't seen each other for a long time na..kasi after PBCOM she transferred to Convergys One Bldg, and then one time nag chat sha telling me na she's going to Bacolod na. I have few PBCOM friends din who transferred din to Bacolod site. There's former EET member Felix na til now active parin sa mga events ng company. There's Gen former agent of TL Martial (na nasa ibang site narin), and TL Ruben na lagi namin ka-volleyabll nun..hehehe...

Engagement Ai and TL Doyet (friend of Noni) toured us sa site. Na-observe lang namin na sobrang laid back sa site nila and people there are very friendly, they welcomed us with their warm charming "smile". Nakakatuwa lang talaga...and to also know that there's a lot of people helping Ai in preparing for their Xmas Party na helller...eh 20hrs to go nalang...Nakita ko narin si Nena..busy si bakla nag picture kami sa may xmas tree...musta naman..and pati si Kuya winelcome din kami..May isa din kaming agent dun na nakita wearing an orange shirt with a quote imprinted on it.says "Convergys smiles with Bacolod" tapos may maskara na nakaprint din...ang ganda! and talo ang others dun! ha! ASTIG diba!

We went home around 12AM na...next time na ang blog about sa party and how we spent our last night in Bacolod.

Basta ito na...October! Maskara Festival and i promised myself na babalik ako dun!
