Silay City Heritage Tour | April 2008
During the late 1800s to early 1900s, the booming sugar industry in Iloilo paved the way for the migration of affluent families to Negros. These families turned vast idle lands in Negros into Sugar Cane Plantations and Haciendas. Eventually, an international port was opened in Silay City, which became the center of commerce in Negros.
To date, many old buildings still remain intact including a grand church, several commercial, and residential buildings.

Calea |Panaad 2008 | April 2008
It has been barely a month and I’m back in Bacolod, I just can’t get enough of the place. This time, I was with Enrico D. of Byahilo.com, Kyle and Ph_Man from Skyscrapercity.com, and Edsil, a friend of Eric. We went to Bacolod primarily for the Panaad 2008 but our plans were a bit modified due to some unfortunate events.

Looking for a job right now
Finally getting out the shackles of the educational system is great! I’ve never been more alive in my life. Basically, most of my days currently is -> Wake up during the late afternoon, Be in front of the computer for straight 12 hours, meals in between of course, search for nice torrents to download (movies/music/tv shows), sleep for 12 hours again. I must admit, this is what I’ve been dreaming of being able to experience but reality is slowly sinking in.

The college education that blogging bought me
I started putting Google Adsense ads on my blogs in January of 2006 but it wasn’t until three months later that I got my first adsense check and three months more that I got them every month, this was the time that I started Explore Iloilo (http://www.exploreiloilo.com). In 2007, I was able to earn a few hundred dollars a month. I was still in my third year in my Bachelor of Science in Nursing course in West Visayas State University - College of Nursing.

West-central Negros Road Trip - First time in Kabankalan | April 2008
Just after my Bucari trip, a few hours actually, I’m out on another trip and this time my destination is Bacolod City. My family and other relatives at my father’s side had a reunion and we stayed at my Lola’s house in Bata.
Last time I was in Negros was on September 2007 for an organizational study of Riverside Hospital with side-trip to Patag in Silay. I knew of some new developments in Bacolod and had the chance to see them myself.

Bucari, Leon - My first taste of Linagpang | April 2008
Bucari, located in the mountains of Leon, is a summer paradise 3 hours away from Iloilo City. Bucari greatly resembles destinations in Northern Philippines like Baguio and Banaue because of its cool climate and highland attractions such as springs, waterfalls, pine trees, rice terraces, wild flowers, high-value crops, and a breathtaking view of the verdant mountains.

2 nights in Concepcion Iloilo | April 2008
The first time I’m been to the northerneastern part of Iloilo was less than two years ago. Ever since, just can’t stop going back to explore more of its destinations and to get a feel of what it’s like to be there. Four days after our graduation, I was back in Concepcion with my friends, one of which had a graduation dinner at their house.

Completed my Delivery Room Scrubs in Antique
Last Mach 23 I had my duty in Antique in the hopes of finally completing my DR Scrubs. It was already my 3rd time to Antique but it was my first time to have completion duty in the Provincial Hospital (Angel Salazar Memorial Hospital) in San Jose, the capital town of Antique. We rode the bus to San Jose at around 2pm. I took the seat at the left side of the bus since most of the interesting sites and the sea could be viewed at the left side of the highway like the of churches and the town plazas of Guimbal and Tigbauan.

The emo series
A few weeks ago, our school paper, “The Forum”, initiated a photo contest. The theme was an open interpretation of the word “emo” and the winner would be featured in the front page of the folio of the paper and given a cash prize. I joined the contest and conceptualized some emotive photos. Since I was able to make more pictures than I was going to enter in the contest, I decided to make a series or collection of them here. So here it is, my emo series:
