Things I miss back home:
Places:
- Tawhay - this is a "shack" (as in literally) where most of my barkadas make tambay. It is very sunoy "rugged and craggy" -- What I love about this place is the "homemade" food. They specialize in chili pork (goodness, heaven! I ate two and a half rice every time I order sizzling chili pork) and liempo. This is also the place for lazy afternoon -- just order pancit canton and coffee/Coke and voila! Solved!
- 21 Bar & Resto - I have heard that they already renovated the place to be a pure resto but this bar has so many memories (I remember one of my best friends crying when we jammed one time. Killer song: Caribbean Blue) This is where all genre of jammin meets: acoustic love songs, chill-out, reggae, house music, hiphop, everything!
- Robinson's Mall - Pathetic?! Na-ah. This is the only decent mall in Bacolod where literally everybody goes. If you want to goad an enemy (warfreak!), go there. If you wanna see your crush on a Saturday, this is the place to go. Just be sure to come a little after 5 pm. This is the time the stampede starts.
- La Salle Coliseum Lobby - Haha.. It was funny when one of my guy buds told me and my girl_friends that if there are stockholders of the coliseum lobby, that would be us. Well, we are there since our first year. It has become a meeting place, a crying corner, an ogling haven... simply the best!
- Carla's house - Sleepovers? Lunch? Merienda? Problems? Where is the place to be? Car
la's house. Stone's throw away from school, this will always be our comfort zone - lots of food, hehe, very nice people, TV, internet... and where reggae music is at its core (Kuya Pao -- her bro-- is the guitarist of Bacolod's local reggae band, the Wicked Tarsiers!) PERFECT!
- My home = Sleep, PC games, eat and sleep. Need I say more?
Food:
- Piaya... they were everywhere. Ube Piaya and Regular Piaya, coming up!
- Chez Andre's pizza.. you'll forget your name, really! (0-o)
- Carla's cooked and sumptous gourmets
- Mom's ginataan.. waah...
- Bob's steak and roast pork.. ahh...
- authentic Bacolod Chicken Inasal
Activities:
- Wallclimbing - I really want to pursue climbing here unfortunately I don't trust just anyone in belaying me... Hehe... And I can't seem to find a homey wall (is there such a thing as a homey wall?)
- Malling - it is stress-free! On certain occasions though, you'll also blow your steam (hint: if your enemy's trailing behind you, hehe)
- Boardwork.. huhu...
- Reggae and ska jammin..
- Biking - I haven't brought my mountain bike. So all is doomed.
