Bacolod Blog Series: Calea Pastries and Cakes

Bacolod City is now officially our home! After our "epic journey" traveling by land, we have finally settled down. (Hooray!) More details on the road trip, here. 

Now, our next stop is to explore this place since Masskara Festival will be celebrated in a few months specifically in October. I have decided to create a blog series featuring our latest discoveries in this beloved city. 

I love sweets and I'm really crazy about desserts. So, my first featured post is all about Calea Pastries and Cakes. 

Whenever you mention where's the best place to have cakes, locals would immediately mention this place. Known as "the home of the country's best cheesecakes", Calea Pastries and Cakes should be on top of your itinerary whenever you visit Bacolod.  

They offer a wide selection of cheesecakes, imported chocolate cakes, refrigerator cakes, and muffins which will make you go gaga on what to choose. 

Here are some of our favorites.

Strawberry Cheesecake

Blueberry Cheesecake

Oreo Cheesecake

Chocolate Mousse

I won't go over a detailed review of how they taste but I'll tell you. Everything is so good.

But can you guess what's the best thing about their cakes? They are super affordable. Each slice is around Php 95 only. They also offer coffee and blended drinks just like your typical coffee shop.

Calea has several branches in the city: Robinson's Place Bacolod, The District/ Ayala Northpoint, and the main one at Lacson Street. 

So, next time you're in Bacolod, consider dropping by here. Just a heads up. This place is really popular among tourists so, it gets pretty crowded sometimes. 

Rainy Day: What to Wear?

Today is my dad's 67th birthday. We were supposed to go out to celebrate but it was raining really bad due to Typhoon Ineng. The roads are flooded and since we stay at our farm, it's actually very muddy. Despite all of that, I love the rain. I love wearing jackets, sweatshirts and boots to keep me warm. Working in a call center also made me consider jackets, coats and sweatshirts a staple in fashion.

There are actually different kinds of coats/jackets ranging from wool to waterproof depending on your preference but I highly suggest that we choose the ones that can be worn on rainy days and even mild weather. We should never forget to bundle up especially during the BER months since our immune system drops when it's too cold. Being sick is not cool.

Online shopping communities like eBay, Kaymu, and among others have a wide range of cozy items like coats, jackets, hoodies, boots, thermal leggings, and more. You can also trade in or sell your pre-loved items in these online stores either by their web or mobile platforms.

We should keep in mind that even if the weather might not be very good, it's not an excuse to look crappy. So, bring out the fashionista in you and let's start singing in the rain.

Online Game Alert: JustRollit --- Play and Win Real Money

Are you a fan of "The Millionaire's Game" or the "Monopoly"? 

Did you have fun playing board games when you were younger? 

Have you been worried that you lost the dice because someone threw it really hard and the game can't continue? 

Do you dislike cleaning up or sorting the paper money after playing the game? 

If you said yes to it, then, you will love the newest online game, Just Roll it brought to you by the Game Club Philippines. 

Be a character of your choice, travel the world and build a real estate empire by purchasing properties. Collect rent from other players who get to land or visit your property and #justrollit. 

The main objective of the game is to grow your empire, get all the money of the other players until they go "BANKRUPT." 

Technically, the game is somewhat familiar like the similar board games I have mentioned earlier however, what makes it unique are character's special abilities to manipulate the dice, by being equipped with lucky charms and using the special dice. It's an online game which means that you can play with your friends and distance wouldn't be an issue. No need to be worried about missing the dice or even cleaning up after the game. 

Cool right? The game is not all about luck by #JustRollit but it involves strategy and a great deal of decision making. I am pretty sure you'll get hooked to it once you start playing but you don't even have to worry that you'll be wasting your time. Players have the opportunity to win real money.
