This year, I challenged myself to travel back to Bacolod, Iloilo, and Dumaguete interconnectedly. 🧭 For the first time, I experienced crossing the border from Bacolod to Dumaguete. ☦️ Since these two different provinces form the island of Negros, 🏝️ it can be travelled by land for hoursss. 🚗 Thankfully, I'm not the driver so I was asleep during the long drive. 😪💤 While in Dumaguete, I revisited Rizal Boulevard and reminisced how I reached the place in 2019. 💭 Out of adventure, I escaped from my distant relatives' house in the southern side of Cebu and boarded a ferry, just to get to this famous Dumaguete spot. 😁 When I strolled the boulevard again last October, the vast sea was like a stone's throw that made me feel very close to the Queen of the South. 👑 Bacolod is also a good jump off point to Iloilo via ferry. 🛥️ Simplicio Palanca Seaport Terminal is an unforgettable place because of an epic (fail) experience. 😅 In 2019, we missed the last trip to Bacolod and got stuck in Iloilo! 🤣 Luckily this year, even if the trips are fewer, I managed to board in time ala buzzer beater 🏃🏻‍♀️🚨 from the Land of the Negrenses to the Land of the Hiligaynons! 💕 #lifeonthemove #diytrip #visayashopping #wheninbacolod https://www.instagram.com/p/ClN8kbAvx-5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been to Bacolod twice, but going back to this province this year feels like my first time. ☝🏻 Perhaps because I was initially on my own 😅 and commuted to the province side to join the other bakasyonistas. 🤗 My mom even texted and teased me as "Miss Tanong" when she realized I was wandering around. 🤣 What I really find thrilling was the trip aboard a regular bus to La Castellana. 🚌 From busy city streets, 🚗 the scenery shortly changed to seashore, 🌊 until everything became sugar cane, 🌿 plus a sneak peak of Kanlaon from the front seat! ⛰️ #lifeonthemove #diytrip #visayashopping #wheninbacolod https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGHRz0P1lI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My flight to Bacolod last October proved I'm a buzzer beater in spite of 'luxury of time'. 🚨 I arrived the airport 4 hours before my flight, and managed to work and sleep. 🙃 I'm not used to waiting that long so I zoned out, only to realize that check in counters are already closed. ❌ Good thing self-check in applies to me because I have everything in one backpack. 🎒 So I ended up with a marathon and reached the finish line / boarding gate in the nick of time. 🏃🏻‍♀️ The sunrise rewarded me with gold! 🥇✨ P.S. Despite the adrenaline rush, I still highly recommend an early morning flight. 🌄✈️ #lifeonthemove #diytrip #visayashopping #wheninbacolod https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDGpjfviZu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
