Solo Travel in Bacolod, Negros Occidental 2023

 I can say that Bacolod offers a unique blend of cultural experiences, focusing on arts, history, and delicious cuisine instead of my previous travel with typical water-centric destinations. Exploring diverse facets of travel can certainly provide a refreshing and enriching experience.

San Sebastian Cathedral is known for its beautiful architecture and historical significance in Bacolod. 

The Capitol Park and Lagoon is a scenic park in Bacolod. The park boasts well-maintained gardens and a lagoon, providing a serene environment for visitors to enjoy nature and relax. The park serves as a recreational space for locals and tourists alike, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, picnics, and outdoor activities.

This area is known for hosting numerous stalls and restaurants that specialize in serving this flavorful and iconic Filipino grilled chicken dish. It's a place where locals and tourists alike can enjoy a variety of Chicken Inasal preparations, each with its own unique marinade and style of grilling. 

Super Batchoy House is known for its delicious Batchoy noodles, featuring a combination of flavorful elements. Some highlights include crispy garlic and chicharon, organ meats, and a savory broth. This culinary combination creates a satisfying and hearty bowl of Batchoy, a popular Filipino noodle soup. 

Bacolod has a lot to offer, and I'm considering coming back to explore the places I missed. Whether it's historical sites, cultural attractions, or culinary delights, there's always more to discover. 

Advance Screening of "One and Only" Movie starring Wang Yibo

Thank you Pioneer Films through Lakwatsera Lover for giving me the opportunity to cover the Advance Screening of this acclaimed Street Dance movie - One and Only starred Wang Yibo. 

Aside from the fans of Wang Yibo, we spotted several Bloggers, Vloggers and celebrities.

One of them is well known in street dancing and part of a girl group, Sexbomb dancer, Izzy Trazona-Aragon with her beautiful and healthy family. Young dancers show off their b-boying moves (or also known as breakdancing moves). There are red carpets and photo booths available for everyone's gram, facebook, reels and myday post. 

The movie :

If you love the Stomp the Yard, You got Served, Let's Dance and Step up movie series, you definitely need to watch this movie. I can say that this is the best street dance movie of 2023. 

It may started as a typical person facing challenges and willing to sacrifice things to pursue their dreams. After working for almost 24 hours of several side hustle and errands, Chen Shuo still managed to practice breakdancing after the restaurant close. 

He may have been rejected from his past audition, but he gained the opportunity when coach Ding Lei ( a veteran street dancer) offered him to be an understudy of E-Mark's Star dancer Kevin. 

Everyone will definitely learn that we made mistakes if we only use our brains to calculate things and choose what is beneficial. Sometimes we just need to follow our heart. 

In all of this, Chen Shuo leaves us a memorable voice over quote that we should keep in our mind. "Success comes with continuous effort."

Netflix Review: Marry my Dead Body

 Marry my Dead Body

Release date: February 10, 2023 (Taiwan)

Director: Cheng Wei-hao

Starring: Greg Hsu; Austin Lin; Gingle Wang

Love has a lot of colors like a rainbow. Like other BL(Boys Love) stories, the movie presented seduction, discrimination and other challenges faced by each individual to get everyone's acceptance of his true being. The story gets deeper when you learn a grandmother's love, a father's reason for disagreement, a grandson's wishes, and one's love for his pet. It will teach us that some spoken words may give us some regrets if it is kept hidden, especially when we realize it is too late to say it.

The story is about a police officer determine to resolve big cases and one of them is  fighting drug trafficking which later on related to a death. This is refreshing to watch as there is interesting Chinese culture but with a very modern touch because of legality same gender marriage. There are also sensitive scenes like butt exposure, mild nudity and implicit sexual content. But it helps the funny side of the movie.
