City of Bacolod, Negros Occidental or Oriental (not sure)
I am posting while waiting for my Aunty Prossy who's having her hair tinted at the next door salon. I might even do some window shopping while she's still in there. Peter is at the Inn doing some Internet surfing too.
Yesterday Aunty Prossy, Peter and I left Lagro early in the morning for the airport. My dad took us to the nearest taxi terminal and got a cab that brought us to the airport in less than an hour. Our flight was at 9 a.m. and we got there a little before 7 a.m. We waited quite a bit but was grateful that we had enough time to relax after waking up so early. The flight was a bit bumpy due to the cloudy and rainy weather in the area. Little did we know that there was a typhoon headed to Manila. After 55 minutes flying time we arrived to a wet and rainy Bacolod. Lou Jean (my cousin Ansen's bride-to-be) picked us up from the airport and took us to the Business Inn located in the center of town. The room she reserved for us was the Presidential suite which has a king sized bed and a single bed. As soon as she left to pick up Ansen from the bus terminal (coming from Cebu) the three of us took the chance to get some shut eye before they came back. Peter came down with a cold from our previous trip to Dipolog that he wasn't feeling too good and needed some sleep. Ansen and Lou Jean came to the hotel after an hour and all of us had a fun time talking story. By 2 p.m. we all decided to brave the rain and have lunch at one of the restaurants that offer their famous Chicken Bacolod - apparently this dish is just grilled chicken but wherever you go the taste is different, the only thing in common is that they serve this dish with the oil drippings from the grilled chicken so you can drizzle this on your rice or garlic rice. After 2 hours (an hour for eating and another hour for talking story) Aunty and I got dropped off at the Robinson's Mall after Peter got dropped off at the hotel to get more rest. Aunty and I was at the mall until about 7 p.m. We brought some siopao (manapua) for our dinner that night. I slept early as I was so tired walking around the mall with Aunty.
Early this morning the rains got harder and harder that I had to cancel with my Dad's friend, Tita Bing, our tour of the sugar mill where she works. The rains didn't let up until after noon just before we came to the mall. Hopefully, the typhoon will pass quickly so that flights will resume tomorrow and my parents and brother will be able to come to Bacolod and have a safe flight, also with my relatives who are taking a land trip from Cebu can have a safe drive over.
Please help us pray that this typhoon will be on its way out of the Philippine Islands by this evening. Thanks so much.
