Travel Philippines: Bacolod

Back to Bacolod

Last Sunday to Monday, thanks to the 3-day weekend, I was in Bacolod city with my brothers to visit our cousins. The days seemed to have passed like a blur because just when we're having so so so much fun, it was Monday already.

Saturday. Lola Ester, Kuya Gian, Gio and I were in the airport around 3am for our 4 55am flight. I was watching the Living Asia channel's feature on Palmas del Mar Resort in Bacolod prior to the flight. Hours later, I was in the actual resort. I didn't know my Titas booked for an overnight stay there, an extension of Wawo's (grandfather) birthday celebration. Do I have decent pictures of the three pools and the lake? No. Did I swim? No. Did I have fun? A lot!

Sunday. One loooooong day! My brothers and I became baby sitters for more than 5 hours. I mean, the adults (though we are of legal age, we're considered kids) were having their siesta naps while we three looked after the three babies. This included playing with them, making sure their bottles of milk are ready in case they ask, stopping would-be fights, and basically not resting. In the evening, we went to where the countdown to the Chinese New Year was set up. It's my first time to experience such a jam packed street party and I must say I enjoyed it. I'll try to sweet-talk my mom into allowing me to go back to Bacolod for the Masskara festival. Hihi

Monday. I played and talked with Caoume all day. We did a little treasure hunting in the afternoon which meant she bought some huge stuffed toys and I bought huge 'toys' as well. Around 5 30pm, Wawo, Wawa, Tita Cay, Tita Mikoy, Lala, and the two kids brought me and my brothers to the airport for our 7 o'clock flight back to Manila.

The moment Elija and Caoume were out of our sights, my brothers and I had the same comment, "I'm feeling under the weather". Here's hoping we'd see more of them before they return to Virginia. We've totally been hooked with their antics!

To Tita Cay, Wawo, Wawa, Lala Ester, Tito Christian, Tito Jojie, Tita Madette, Tita Mikoy, Taedi, Andrew, Caoume, and Elija, thank you so much for the fun filled weekend :)
