The Ruins in Negros Occidental - Mind Blowing Experience.

I got a chance to visit “THE RUINS” Talisay City, Negros Occidental. It was year 2015 , summer when my friends visited this place.


The Ruins is an old Mariano Ledesma Lacson Mansion, located in the city is a known tourist attraction. Talisay, officially the City of Talisay and often referred to as Talisay City, is a fourth class city in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines




I loved that every angle looks beautiful in the photos. Whether you want to drop by this place or not you'll be able to pass by the location when you go to Bacolod City proper. There's an entrance fee when you visit the place.



Other than taking pictures, there is nothing much to do here. It suites more as a venue for weddings or other similar celebrations rather than a tourist attraction. Probably because the place no longer has that old-prehistoric vibe it boasts due to numerous restorations.



Over all , I love the experience.

📺 Review : ABS-CBN TV Plus - Ang Mahiwagang Black Box

I am using a cable connection for my television for a long span of time now because it includes local and international channels. However, I was not able to utilize it due to my busy schedule and I just realized that I paid my monthly bill w/o using it at all. Infact, during my weekends I only watch local channels like ABS-CBN and GMA7.



When a digital box was released to the market, I was thinking to grab one. ABS-CBN Company announces this “Mahiwagang Black Box” to the televiewers on what they can get of having this box in their households.  ABS-CBN TV Plus (formerly SKY TV+ or simply TV+ and stylized as ABS-CBN TVplus), is a digital terrestrial television product and service owned and operated by ABS-CBN Corporation.

I just recently bought it amounting to PHP1999. This product’s original price was PHP2500 during the release.

 Let us unbox!

Mahiwagang Black box – It is light and small box.

ABS-CBN Mobile Sim Card- you need this to activate some of the channels owned by ABS-CBN as well as activation of the warranty.

User’s Manual- Your best friend on basic trouble shooting

Audio and Video cable – this will connect between your TV and the box.  Disadvantage: there is no HDMI port.

The adapter – it is requisite to give power of the digital box.

Remote control – I love how it looks like – very elegant. And the good thing, it has a free battery.

Antenna and cable – the cable length is enough to bring the end of the antenna outside - to capture signal. But I would love if they provide longer cable so that I can extend the antenna towards the rooftop.

Meanwhile, an issue came out that ABS-CBN TV plus is a way of the ABS-CBN company to monopolize the televiewers because it only guarantees you of having the ABC-CBN channels. But that is not true, I personally experience the crystal clear output  from GMA7 and GMA News TV using the ABS-CBN TV plus.  So basically, it will still vary on your location.

ABS-CBN TV plus gave me a Crystal clear picture and sound with Affordable one-time fee compared with cable connection. It is beneficial to me because there is no need for me to pay a monthly bill – so it is a huge saving. And it works perfectly to me

Review: Whey King Supplements

RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I kept in touch to my mutant whey supplier; unfortunately they are no longer selling such product. I have been checking online if there is available supplier nearby but there is none. My ex supplier told me about Whey King and searched it online. I was redirected to their website and take a look on it. It seemed that it is a legit online shop.


I took the risk of purchasing my desired product “Mutant Whey 10lbs” which is amounting to PHP4000 plus PHP100 handling fee (if you are outside metro manila s&h is PHP400). The website provided an order number and the instruction on how to pay. I opted BDO since it is the nearest available bank within my location.

I texted first the mobile number indicated on the website to confirm if this is legit. And they replied right away. So, I continued depositing “PHP4100”, they asked me to take picture and send the machine validation of the deposit slip to their Facebook page. They replied that we were all good and it will be delivered 1-2 working days.

On the next day, I got a text message from the delivery person named Errol that he is on his way. In a few minutes, I got my mutant whey! They even have their own delivery motorcycle with their brand name on it. I am so happy because I am a satisfied online buyer of Whey King -To think that it was my first time to purchase online (aside from huge online shop).

I decided to write about them because this business deserved to be recognized. They deserved a good review. Errol was so kind during the delivery and he was able to deliver in a timely manner. Whoever assisted me when I texted them was so patient to reply my stubborn inquiry.  I also checked the packaging and stuff like that – and the product is authentic.  More Power!

Why Every Juan Do Loves To Have Cebu Lechon During Parties?

Lechón is a pork dish in several regions of the world, most specifically Spain and its former colonial possessions throughout the world. And one of the countries that Spain colonized was Philippines, specifically Cebu. So, no wonder why Cebu has its most savoury Lechon among 88 provinces in the country. Not surprisingly, many Filipinos all over the Philippines are visiting CEBU - just to taste their flagship dish.



Moreover, Lechon became part of Filipino’s culture. A party is incomplete without huge grilled pork on the table with an apple in the mouth. During the Spanish era, lechon has something to do with economic status in the society. Only a well-off family can afford preparing it in every celebration. Nowadays, a whole lechon is prepared in every party as a sign of victory, thanks giving and success. It symbolizes of abundant life.




Good thing, you are no longer needs to go to Cebu just to taste it. Various entrepreneurs brought the Cebu’s taste in the urban zone of Manila.  One of them is Roland P. Peñarez- the owner of “Manong’s Cebu Lechon”.  I met the person behind this business during the Blogapalooza 2015 and luckily, I was able to taste the lechon right at his booth. And it was worth for your money.



Truly, Lechon is Juan’s trademark. Not just because we were influenced by the Spaniards however, Filipinos undeniably love to eat. Having Lechon on our table is a sign that family members can bond and can smile together– that a Filipino Family is happy on sharing one food and LECHON can bring them together.

During's Barbeque and Restaurant - Boni Avenue , Mandaluyong City.

During’s Barbeque and Restaurant is situated along Boni. Avenue, Mandaluyong City - a few steps from Rizal Technological University and before you reach Jollibee. It is located at the right side when you came from EDSA. It is a Filipino-themed restaurant and the majority of the design is made up of Bamboo products and chandelier is made of shell.

The food being served are all Filipino Cuisines. When you arrived at the restaurant, you will be given a menu. It is an “ORDER TO COOK” approach wherein you need to wait for 10-20 min on your table.

Prices are affordable ranges from PHP25 – PHP250 available for single order or group order.

Since it is open and located beside the avenue. It is quite noisy due to the innumerable vehicles passed by. The establishment is also non air-conditioned, and so it is moderately hot.

Verdict: 

Foods are delicious especially the PORK SINIGANG. Kangkong and Talong are also recommendable. I just don’t like their BULALO because it taste like NILAGA only. Though prices are affordable.

It is not also advisable to bring your car because parking is not available. Or else, you need to leave your car at 711 and walk to the restaurant area. Good thing with this place - it is accessible.

The ventilation is poor, imagine you are slurping a hot sinigang with your sweat. But since it is a native concept then its fine for me – I love the native plate with banana leaf, it makes me feel at home.
