WELCOME TO CITY OF SMILE COFFEE PROJECT | SWEET'S JOURNEY IN THE PROVINCE

Maayong hapon sa tanan! It means "Good afternoon everyone!"

I'm back again for the segment "Sweet's Journey in the Province."

If you are following my journey, you would notice that in the first quarter of 2021, I seldom share a blog post. In fact, I've only published 3. It's because I'm visiting pastries, cakes and coffee shops here in Bacolod that I'm planning to share with you all soon so it would make it easier for you to decide where your next destinations will be once traveling returns to normal.

But right now, I just can't wait to share this to my fellow ilonggo that the coffeeshop I love in Manila is finally here in Bacolod!!!

Yesss!!!

(Sorry for the exclamation point, I'm just really so happy that they're here)

This coffee shop holds a lot of major first in my life. Like first date. First time I used my credit card (jeez). AND IT IS ALSO WHERE I FIRST PUBLISHED MY FIRST EVER BLOG POST.

It's no other than Coffee Project, and it deserves a welcome blog from me!

Come and join me in my journey to Coffee Project-Bacolod!

Let's go!

They are on their soft-opening and the staffs are mostly from other provinces. The one I talked to came from Cagayan. Their grand opening will be on April 4, 2021.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES

When I enter the place, I had my name listed in their log book and had my temperature checked.

INTERIOR

I was kinda surprised of the bright lightings unlike the dim lightings in other branches I've been to before. And I just thought, maybe they choose bright colors to fit so well in the city of smile. 😊

Every part of this place is instagram-worthy. Filled with flowers, books and sayings.

FOOD AND DRINKS

And of course the food and drinks they serve are delicious.

Since I've been to Coffee Project many times before especially in Vito Cruz to the point that the barista knows my name and I've already tried almost all their meals and drinks, so below, I've list down my recommendations:

Frappe

Dark Chocolate

Hot Drinks

Cappucino

Rice Meals

Beef Tapa

Boneless Bangus

All their pasta tastes so good!

Pizza

Cheese

Salad

California Kani Salad (Honestly, I'm n ot a fan of Salad but surprisingly I love this one)

I know you love the place, don't you? So, what are you waiting for? Visit Coffee Project Bacolod and enjoy the beautiful place and delicious foods. Plus, the free internet connection.

HOW TO HELP SOMEONE WITH ANXIETY

I am an empath. I have a gift to feel the emotion of others. I have a gift to sympathize with others. And October has been a long hard month for me. I feel negative energy worse than any other month of this year. It caused me a little pain and a little discomfort because I don't understand where its coming from... Where these feelings are coming from? Is it still from others or is it already my own? I had sleepless nights, panic attacks and inability to relax. B ut I take this gift as a blessing to help others who are also suffering from anxiety, to let them feel that they are not alone in their journey. The population of empath may be rare, but anyone can help. And someone is needing your help right now. Look around. A family. Friends. Workmates. Even a strong person needs someone to be there for her/him. Check them. Help them. Here are 10 Ways on How to Help Someone with Anxiety: 1. Learn to Recognize the Symptoms of Anxiety With this new normal, the only thin

LEAP OF FAITH: 3 TIPS BEFORE YOU TAKE IT

It was on February 2018 when I left my family, my stable job, my long-time boyfriend and my hometown all behind to follow my dreams. And my dreams led me to Manila. IT WAS THE MOST LIFE-CHANGING DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. From country life, to city life. From living with my parents, to renting in a condominium. From having my own room, to sharing with five other people. From waking up in the view of mountain scenery, to waking up in the view of high-rise building. IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR ME. And I'm liking it. Though, I miss my family, the home-cooked meals and my own space. But I couldn't be any prouder of myself for doing things that I don't usually do at home such as laundry and cooking. It may sounds basic. Nevertheless, it's a good start. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS NOW SINCE I TOOK THE LEAP OF FAITH. And I didn't regret doing it. Even though my life here was not all happiness, unicorns and rainbows. But I did really met

A BLOG TO EVERYONE WHO LOST THEIR JOB: A MESSAGE OF HOPE

Hello everyone!! I miss blogging so much. The last time I posted a blog was last March, the first month of quarantine and the topic was 19 THINGS TO DO DURING THE ENHANCE COMMUNITY QUARANTINE . Have you read it? And have you done those things? Flash forward to August and we are still on quarantine. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) as of this writing, where persons below 21 years old and above 60 years old are required to stay at home for they are at high risk of contracting the COVID19 disease, businesses are allowed to operate at 50 to 100 percent of their regular capacity depending on the industry, malls are open, restaurants accept customers for dine-in and public transport is allowed with strict social distancing, But for the first three months of prohibiting businesses from operating, the economy has been affected severely not just of the Philippines but of the other countries as well. Resulting to a major global recession. A lot of companies filed for bankru

SWEET'S JOURNEY IN THE PROVINCE | BREY'S BEAUTY LOUNGE BACOLOD BRANCH

H ello langga ! Langga. That's our hiligaynon word for today. And it means beloved, dear and or dearest. Langga is commonly used as an endearment in our province and neighboring town. And speaking about our province, do you remember l ast year, I launched a new segment in my blog " Sweet's Journey in the Province" to show you the beauty of my province. The beauty of Negros Occidental. From the people, language spoken, culture, foods to the places. And I've said that month by month I'll publish a blog post about my journey in the province, starting off with November, my first month here. However, after November I've never publish a blog post about my journey in the province. I must admit that the pandemic and crisis kept me from going around the province. But this March, I am so excited to tell you that I am finally resuming the segment Sweet's Journey in the Province. In this blog, I will share with you a milestone in my journey to blogging. I w

SWEET'S JOURNEY IN THE PROVINCE | NOVEMBER 2020

Living in the hustle and bustle of the big city for almost three years made me appreciate the life in the province more than ever. The fresh and cool weather. The green fields. The mountain scenery. The river. The rooster's crow in the morning. The vegetables in the backyard. The sounds of cicadas at night. And the presence of my family. Ahh... Province life. 💚 In this new chapter of my life comes a new segment in my blog. Sweet's Journey in the Province. It is to show you the beauty of my province. The beauty of Negros Occidental . From the people, language spoken, culture, foods to the places. Month by month I'll publish a blog post about my journey in the province. I'll start off with November, my first month here.

Be my guest! 26 THINGS I REALIZED IN 26 YEARS 1. You can always count on your family. All of us has a bad side, it is the family that can see and experience it most of the time.

You may hang out with your friends often than with them, but when life gets t

A MILLION SCARS AND A BROKEN HEART BY JOENA SAN DIEGO

Hello bookworms! The only book I have read for the month of October is this, A Million Scars and a Broken Heart by Joena San Diego It's always been my dream to buy her books but the only thing that's holding me is the shipping fee. Good thing! They had their first 9/9 campaign - fre e shipping for orders 500 pesos and above. This book is worth 230 pesos. Free shipping. Thanks to my friend who also bought a book entitled "Through It All" worth 280 pesos. This is not what I have planned to read for the month of October but I have found this month a challenging one, and I am in need of books that will help me face reality with a strong spirit instead of fantasy books that will just let me hide in my own world. And this book is a perfect choice! A Million Scars and a Broken Heart will let you revisit t he scar of the past, the scar of forgiveness, the scar of waiting, the scar of words, the scar of expectations, the scar of emotions and the broken hear

BOOKS I'VE READ IN 2020 | A RECAP

Hello bookworms! It's Christmas time! One of the traditions in this season is to put up a Christmas tree. As a book-lover, I put up our Christmas tree using some of the books I owned which are also made from trees for trees is used to produce papers and papers is used to produce books. It's also a time to do a recap of all the books I've read this year. I've only read 6 books. It's very few for someone who claims to be a book-lover but I have my reason. I feel guilty that I can read a fiction book in one sitting but my Bible reading doesn't even last for 5 minutes. I want to spend more time with the Word of God and if I can't do that, I don't deserve a time to read a fiction book but if I can do that, I reward myself a time to read a fiction book. So here's the fiction books I've rewarded myself this year: 1. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare I've seen 'Shadowhunter' in Netflix and I have this
