Again, Bacolod pictures

More shitty amateur photography from yesterday:

bratwurst

Had lunch at a place called Calea, which Bacolod natives say has the best cakes in the whole island. The bratwurst and kraut I ordered was so-so.

icecreamcake

The ice cream cake was a better experience. Then again, how can you put together ice cream *and* cake and not get something that's fucking awesome?

Afterwards, I went to the Negros provincial capitol, mostly to walk off my heavy lunch:

carabao1

There were a couple of carabao statues, which was odd because (a) Negros takes a lot of pride in its sugar industry, not in their rice fields; and, (b) the dude walking with the carabao is naked.

carabao2

Butt-naked.

carabao3

The statue on the other end of that lagoon, on the other hand, features a girl, who is not naked. Neither is her carabao.

palmtree

Between the carabao statues and the palm trees, the plaza is very UPLB.

sculpture

There was a cool sculpture on display at the plaza's front gate, created by a renowned Bacolod sculptor whose name I stupidly did not bother to remember.

capitol

The Negros Occidental capitol in Bacolod.

Later, I went back to Calea to meet up with Luz to pig out again. I left my camera at the hotel, so I had to use my mobile phone to take pictures:

sansrival cheesecake pastrami

She had a pastrami sandwich, which she wasn't particularly happy with. Our pastries weren't much better-- we both found them too sweet. I hate to say this, but Calea's in Bacolod? Totally overrated.


Also had dinner with Pon last night, at Bacolod Chicken House, and I forgot my camera again. I liked the inasal from Lion's Park from the other day better.

ey.. nasa ka coffee break ka ba sa smallville iloilo last night (jan. 8)? nag-coffee kami ng kabarkada ko dun mga 11pm tapos one table away may nakita ako na parang kamukha mo na naka white tshirt at light brown pants (?) kasama ang isang girl. sabi ko nga sa kasama ko, parang familiar sa akin iyung nasa kabilang table, nahiya naman akong mag-greet.

 

yep that was me. kasama ko si luz.
