MISSING BACOLOD SO MUCH MY TUMMY HURTS; House and lot in Bacolod

All of a sudden I have this craving for sweets! Granted was advised by my cardio to lay off sweets a bit because my FBS stats are not that good, it’s not that bad either!
But as I’ve always had a knack for sweets since my childhood. i can finish off a bar of chocolate without any help. But what kept my sugar afloat was the fact that I do not like sodas nor coffee. And so most of the time instead of ordering a coke with my meal, I’d choose the lesser evil ice tea or juice. But nowadays, I really save on calories and what best to binge off on sweets than in the sweetest city in the country - Bacolod!
So here I’m listing out my top 3 sweet places in Bacolod.
1) Calea
Of course, who doesnt know Calea! Anyone who’s ever been to Bacolod knows or at least may have been introduced to the place. It’s home to an endless number of cake variants. The best of which are the cheesecakes and the blueberry cheesecake is to die for!  The chocolate Bomb Ice cream is also a must try! When I was last there I tried 3 different cakes and I only have a friend to share it with. I couldnt care less about the calories because it was well worth it!.  Where might you ask is Calea in Bacolod?  Well, when in Bacolod you surely wouldnt miss it since it's right smack the center of Lacson Street the most famous and perhaps the longest street in Bacolod
The person in the pic is NOT me btw...

2)  Felicia's Pastry Shop
This one is also in Lacson but you'd probably have to ask around when you want to find as it only has one branch unlike Calea which has more than 2, I guess.  Felicia's offer a similar spread as Calea but some say that most of their cakes taste better.  Sink you sweet teeth in their famous carrot cake which is a sight to behold and their chocolate praline.

3)  Bascon Cafe
This place offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and their menu ranges from Filipino to Continental.  Their breakfast meals are very sumptuous and satisfying and surprisingly affordable.  But aside from that, they also have delectable cakes and pastries to offer.  These usually come in minicakes,which comes in various assortments like cheesecakes and chiffon cakes. They also have concorde, puffiana, tortes and flans.  I particularly liked their sansrival and cosmopolitan cake.  Bascon Cafe is a quaint little joint also located along Lacson St. right beside the Camella Bacolod Sales Office.
After a quick sugar fix, I went to the Camella office to inquire the last time I was there.
Czar was there to entertain my queries and even gave me a free ice tea.

I got so excited because I want to endorse this to my uncle who is planning to move back to Bacolod. They have this house and lot package for as low as P2.5M or P15,000 a month!  But what excited me was their 3BR model called CARA! It's perfect for families with small kids.
I also inquired about their referral program so all of you who want to know more about house and lot Bacolod and Camella, please mention my blog when you call 09178955333 or email them.
I also learned that they have a 360 tour page so that you can view the subdivision without stepping out of your home.  Click here for the tour.
Visit their FB page at https://www.facebook.com/CamellaBacolodSouthOfficial/ and have a chat with their marketing officers.  Ask if they have on going promos that you can avail of.  You can also reserve online without the hassle.  Just ask them how.

Looking forward to my next visit to the Sugar Capital of the Philippines Bacolod City!

Retirement in the Philippines: Going against the grain

I started to think about retirement at age 36.  I don't know why but it was then that I realized that despite my good prospects for promotion in the near future and my steady stream of income from the investments that we were making, I just knew then that I needed to start my journey to financial stability and security.   My son and my youngest was less than a year old then.  I computed in my mind that when he reached college at 18 years old, I would be around 55 years old by then.  I was unsure what I'd be by then.  Would I still be healthy enough to work?  Would we have enough savings to make sure that he has money for a decent college to go to?  Would he be intelligent enough to make it to UP to enjoy free tuition?  It was unsettling.  I felt I had to do something.  And so I realized that I wasn't even talking about retirement.  I was just thinking about Sam's college really.   So it was then that I made my big leap to get a VUL.  I did not know much about it then bu

What makes a good Financial Advisor?

If you're my age, you've more likely come across an Insurance Agent or Financial Advisor from among the popular insurance companies in the Philippines.  Most of them claim to be able to advise you on investment portfolios that you may want to buy or avail for yourself.  They would often ask you first about your investment capacity or the amount that you are willing to invest whether monthly or one-time and then move into presenting you a proposal based on that alone.   Based on my experience on investments, the best kind of advisors are those that are concerned with the end goal rather than what you'd like to give up from your disposable income.  Normally, when you ask people about how much they would like to invest, they would normally just let you know how much extra extra money they have or what they usually have left after a payroll cutoff.  If you let people do that, chances are you'd end up getting lose changes as investment funds.  There lies the disconnect usual

Investing in real estate in the time of COVID

Investing in real estate (condo and house and lot) in the time of COVID As a real estate researcher, I've read and navigated through a lot of information and data to analyze and provide insights to our company leaders about industry trends.  Off work, many of my friends also ask me for advise when it comes to decisions about real estate.  To buy or not to buy this property, to sell or not to sell at this price, to rent out long or short term, house and lot or condo , and other related queries about what to do with their money and property.  I almost always suggest to keep it simple and logical.  If it does not add up and you have an inch of a doubt about it, then don't do it.  However, there are also signals that should not be ignored.  This is especially true in periods when demand presets supply.  The worst case scenario for a buyer/investor is to see a property be sold out just when you've decided to buy it and then see it appreciate exponentiall
