BACOLOD

Maraming salamat sa 10.10.10 i was able to booked 10php going to Bacolod ... (175php with taxes) .. at first i was hesitant to booked a trip going to Bacolod mainly because i thought wala naman akong makikita dito... but to my surprised nagkamali ako... sobrang pagkakamali...

Initial plan was balikan lang.. visit Bacolod for one day just to taste the infamous Bacolod Chicken Inasal and that's it.. wala na akong maisip na pwede kong makita at magawa sa lugar na to..but thanks to my bff jenny for encouraging me to stay there overnight. Then with all the research and all i was able to build a two day itinerary na ayon nga sa iba kong kaibigan its actually good for 3-4 day trip...kapag ako gumagala wala sa akin ang pahinga .. arya lang ng arya.. thats my relaxation.. ayoko ung nakaupo lang sa isang lugar at natutulog... i cant do that in all of my travels sana di na ako umalis ng bahay di ba =)

So in short jam packed ang two day trip namin.. which is good.. i love the rush feeling running into my veins ..

After the misadventure we had for DAY 1.. God is so good at pinagbigyan kami sa DAY 2.. super maganda ang panahon ....

It was just a quick tour in Bacolod since wala na kaming oras.. we still need to go to the RUINS OF LACSON MANSION in Talisay City then catch our flight that night..  I wanna thank my travel buddies namely Ivan, Omel, Jenny, Anita and Mommy Ganda for making this trip memorable... salamat din na kahit pinaglakad, pinalusong, at pinagod ko kau di ako nakarinig ni isang reklamo.. and because of that rest assured that on my next trip basta available ang lahat ill invite you guys.. till r next trip =)
