Enrolled for 2nd sem

Hey, ho, let's go! haha! I am now enrolled for the second semester sy 2019-2020. So far, I have already finished all the subjects for MAS and I am now currently stucked with my thesis proposal... I think some of my classmates were already done with their proposal and have defended it with their panel. So I guess I am quite behind in terms of progress. Not really sad though, because I think I really need to put myself into my research and immerse into the subject, to gain more knowledge... or maybe I am just lost and cannot accept it as a fact. Oh well. That's life. I hope I can motivate myself to at least finish the proposal. Will also try to work on a new blog that I will dedicate for my research topic. I will still be writing here, and post some weird stories about my ultra boring life... but i will definitely put more effort on the new blog fo educational purposes :) On to the next one!

Missin' my kicks

2 months of rest. 2 months no run. 2 months of laziness. I gotta stop this now.
I have regained my big belly and I don't want to look preggy again. :(
I hope the spirit of running dwell upon me the soonest.

Half Moon

There are lots of famous delicacies in Bacolod that you may find in the Metro. But this one in particular is only sold in Bacolod City. The oh, so yummy, Half Moon. It looks like a mamon but the top part has a glaze that tasted like the filling of brazo de mercedes. It's not too sweet, just enough to tickle one's sweet tooth. I loved it, and I will definitely buy boxes of it when I come to visit Bacolod again.

Half Moon is sold in Pendy's per piece or by box of 6 pcs. Pendy's is located along Lacson Street, near ABSCBN Bacolod.
It is sold 40 pesos per piece. or 240 per box of 6.

So when you come and visit Bacolod, do not forget to drop by Pendy's. :)

Campomanes Bay Vacation

Finally, after four long years, I was able to visit this beautiful place again.
Together with my husband and my 4 year old son, we traveled from Manila to Negros to see one of nature's best kept secret.



Campomanes Bay Resort is situated in Maricalum, Sipalay, Negros Occidental, facing Sulu Sea.
The Bay is now declared a Marine Reserve and hence requires a Bantay Dagat (Bay Watch) to regulate development and movement in Campomanes Bay as well as provide marine protection. Campomanes Bay also hosts the City's Ecoport and two shipwreck sites, both of which can be used for marine tourism.



Campomanes Bay is excellent not only for diving but for jet skiing, kayaking, and all sorts of water sports. It has an existing port that caters to medium-sized sea craft. The enclosed shape of the bay and islets in its opening provide calm waters even in harsh weather conditions. Entrance to the bay is a wide expanse of coral garden with various species of corals and fish.


The best thing here is my husband is related to the owners of Campomanes Bay Resort, which is super fun of course! :)

Here are some pictures of th cottages/huts inside the Resort.





How to get there?

Fly from Manila to Bacolod. From Silay-Bacolod International Airport, Take a Shuttle Van going to SM Bacolod. Tell driver to drop you off Ceres Bus Terminal "South".
Ride the trip going to Hinoba-an. Aircon Bus going to Hinoba-an leaves the terminal at 12:00 noon. Tell driver you are going to Crossing Maricalum, Sipalay. Or simply tell you are going to Campomanes. Be sure to fill your stomach before taking the bus,
road trip from Bacolod to Campomanes is 5 hours long so better pack up with lots of snacks so that you'll never go hungry. :)
Upon reaching Crossing Maricalum, you will then take a tricycle going to the Bay Resort. The route going to the resort is 5kms. which usually takes 10-15 minutes. The Resort is very clean and serene, the peaceful place will make you feel one with nature and will relax your tired senses.





Shuttle Van (silay to bacolod) PHP 100.00/150.00
Bus Fare (bacolod to crossing, maricalum - 177 kms.) PHP 244.00
