Rock Box Rocks in Iloilo City


Night out in Iloilo City? It has been a very long time since I had that. Despite not having that much money I agreed when a friend sent me a message if I’m free either Friday or Saturday night. The place we were supposed to be is Smallville, a popular nightspot here in Iloilo City.
About 30 minutes before the appointed time I sent a message asking where exactly are we supposed to meet. Smallville is such a busy place with a lot of bars, restos and the likes. I was told that we will be in Rock Box. Okay, Rock Box. Now, where the heck is it? I mean I heard about it for the first time. When I

Maybe by the time you read this, the new Stanhome World has already opened its doors in Iloilo City since its Grand Opening is on the 10th of September. So what if it did? Well, it may not matter that much to some but for me, it is a reason for excitement. Why? Because I just think that it will play a big role in my life.

Inasal (Grilled Chicken) Sang Gen. Luna


Food, food and more delectable food. When an Ilonggo is asked what’s good in Iloilo City, the delicious but affordable food is oftentimes mentioned. It seems like restaurants and eateries are found just about anywhere.  Yes, Iloilo City and Province may just be a food haven for a lot of people. The wide array of restaurants offers just about any kind of cuisine – from Chinese to Korean to Thai and of course, the all-time favorite, Pinoy food.

Nail Care, Anyone?

Just like a lot of women (and men) in the City and Province of Iloilo, nail care is something that I often have. Manicuristas of all ages can be found almost anywhere, in the streets, offices, parlors, spa,etc. The challenge is in finding one who can give the maximum nail care that we want and need. This is one challenge that led me to Anea Nail Spa.

Yehey! 168 Plaza Mall is in Iloilo City

For bargain hunters like me, just hearing that 168 is here in Iloilo City was indeed a good news. Whenever I go to Manila, I would drop by 168 and get something for my family and other items that I might be able to resell. Thus, I told myself that I really have to go there today, not tomorrow but really today.I asked a friend to go with me and off we went to check out the place.


The newest shopping place, 168, is located in Iznart St. The area where it can be found is where Allegro Theater used to be. It is sandwiched between Chowking Iznart and the ukay-ukay place. It is very easy to find since one can see a lot of balloons and huge flower arrangements at the entrance.

Power Failures...Again?

It was a short-lived reprieve from power failures. Why did I assume that it would be the norms in Iloilo City? I'm in for a harsh reality because it is back.

Power failures are back in vengeance. Due to what reason, I don't know. At first it was less than an hour but then it became longer and longer. Saturday was the pits. It lasted for a day. I just justified it by saying that it might have been a result of the weather disturbance. Whatever the reason though, it's time to prepare those generator sets,candles, rechargeable lamps, etc.

Let's just hope that one of these days we would really have a power-failure city and province. Dream on!?
