Happy Ingress Day
September 18, 202510:44 pm Do not be fooled by the post title. It was not a hassle-free day but it was definitely a happy ingress day. I was on time and setup was quick. I was a bit indecisive about some details but I think everything worked out well. A few vendors came to set up but it's ok. Tomorrow will be a bit chaotic and rushed but let's not worry about that yet. Acrylics arrived. Standees are ready. Stickers are gorgeous. Stamp rally is exciting. YEY! The layout is very spacious and not too cramped. Few food vendors but I think each one is good so it should be ok. The downside? SUPER INIT. And I lacked sleep. Ordered Gang Gang Chicken for my lunch which was willing and surprisingly spicier than I expected. But I really love the crunch of their breading. Dinner was so, so, sooo good at Dulce Desserts. Kuya had the Beef Short Ribs with Kimchi Rice. I ordered the Fish and Chips. The fish was juicy and cooked properly. Breading was separating from the fish but it's ok. The fries were crisp and tasty. My favorite part of the meal? The aioli dip. Then,…
Solo Dating Ideas
I'm single. Unmarried. No partner. Most years I would spend Valentine's Season dating myself. Obviously, not on the day itself. That's a hassle. Anyway, the past few years I have been spending it here at home. And I quite enjoy it. To be honest, I date myself even on other days. Anytime I feel like it. Here are my Solo Dating Ideas if you want to have a fun and memorable day. What is Solo Dating? I am not even sure if that is a legit term for it but it is the word I use when I go out and date myself. Been doing it since I was in college. And I have been doing it more often now that I am usually just at home. I love eating alone. Watching a movie alone. Basically, treating myself to a fun time. Alone. Before, I would usually do it when I want to celebrate something special. Not necessarily Valentine's Day or my birthday. But anything I want to celebrate. Like closing a client deal. Finishing a project. Whatever or whenever I feel happy. Or even when I feel sad. Preparing for your Solo Date What makes a solo date different…

Why I Love Iloilo
Everybody knows I'm fiercely in love with Davao but if there's one place I'd consider relocating to, it would be Iloilo. Iloilo is a small city with a whole lot to offer. Historical and Cultural Tours I love that Iloilo has a lot of nice architecture and historical places from our colonial past. The photowalk I did with friends was very interesting. We took a walk around downtown for several hours. We had a friend, who's a history nut, do the tour with us and he shared some very interesting anecdotes. We ended up in Fort San Pedro to watch the sunset over Guimaras. Such a beautiful site. And a great place to have your photos taken. Recently, I was able to visit and take a tour of the Camiño Balai nga Bato in Villa de Arevalo. It is a well-preserved house from the colonial times. The Camiños was one of the pioneers in the Iloilo weaving industry. And the entire ground floor used to be dedicated to weavers and weaving looms. Most of it still is now. The modern weavers create various sinamay and other cloths that would make for great Filipiniana wear. The Camiños still live in the…
