We have a Balay Bacolod... almost and hopefully!




Saturday... July 18, 2009... a mid-lit day... sprinkling rain... our vehicle headed to a place where I usually just passing through... neglected by my so curious mind... uninterested of discovering why this place is called Yulo's Park and is a landmark when you ride a jeepney to the south of Bacolod.

A warm welcome by the owner greeted us as we enter this huge forgotten plaza. As I enter the mansion and climb the grand a-bit-stiff stair case, you will be mesmerized of the volume this Grand House in her golden years. Immersed with so much of memories that may even complete Bacolod's History. Indeed this structure deserves to be called our Balay Bacolod.

It features a lot of grandeur of Philippine architectures previous barons used; muebles so beautiful; huge china collections; so many picture archives not just of the house but also of events in Bacolod; funerals so grand that limousines lining just to carry the flower wreaths were only here in Bacolod; and the one to be so worth-watching is the hand-painted glass rimmed with gold made especially for a grand banquet to honor Pres. Manuel L. Quezon.

"O my prayer to You Lord, that You bless the Family Yulo to have a curator passionately inclined of upholding the forgotten Mansion and Bacolod as well. May You let this be our Jewel of Bacolod's history."

Help Save Our Economy!


Yes I can! I now can help save our economy even in simple ways! I just learned from an economist that it doesn't have to be in big contribution to help but by having small initiatives from us and a twist of our mentality.

I learned that by buying imported goods here is spending more peso than dollars, and buy buying imported goods outside and bringing it here is also spending more. So if you are buying those clothes outside our country in regular price... think twice!

Gone are the days na... "pag-imported, good quality"! Now, we have lots of best quality products sold in the market! So change that mentality na, wag maging pasaway!

Also to our OFW, who I am so intrigues why they are called heroes? the answer is that they bring in dollars to Philippines and spend their dollars here so many of pesosesoses will be spent. A bit confuse to that? Here's a simple illustration, if you buy a dollar, here means your spending 48 pesos. Got it? Your purchasing power is greater here than that of spending outside (pwera lang kun 50% SALE ang binibili mo sa outside.... hehehe).

So when you do your grocery (SM is the best! Kasi Malawak, fair pa ang pricing and you gain points pa sa SMAC mo hehehe), instead of buying those Colg..., buy our own Happee! Surely, you will SAVE because its cheaper and will make everybody HAPPEE!

SM-Bacolod goes WIFI Mall-wide!



Is that Great?

Yes, I was so excited and blessed after hearing the good news from SM Asst. Mall Manager Julia Javellana that SM-Bacolod will now have a mall-wide WIFI connections! This means that everywhere you are inside the mall there's wireless internet connections. And even in their Al Fresco area... is also wifi accessable! Fabulous!

I use to have coffee at Figaro just to use their wifi connections while i'm in the mall and suddenly they closes, I transfered to Kuppa and sadly they don't have wifi connections. With this new initiative from SM-Bacolod to go mall-wide... I could have a sip at Kuppa, Coffee Bean, Bo's Cafe, and even Brewha! Wow! And I could even browse my facebook while walking through the mall with my iPhone.... grabe na to!

Negros Bloggers are also in-full support on this. If you are a blogger, come and be one of us! Join Negros Bloggers, we'll surely have fun!
