| Masskara smiling face |
From Iloilo City we were supposed to be on the 9:50 am trip of Weesam Express (click here for their schedule) but because as I say due to Filipino time, we arrived too late. So we took the 10:45 am trip of Ocean Jet instead.

| Iloilo Port |
We arrived after about an hour of rolling in the waves (they say at this time of day the waves are usually rolling so better prepare your anti-motion sickness tablets if you may ^_^), and upon seeing the coastline of Bacolod I couldn't wait to get out of that roller coaster ride!
Upon arriving we were greeted by our friend, the groom himself, and ushered us to the van that will take us to where he booked us for the night, at Check Inn Pension Arcade which is just minutes away from Bacolod seaport.

| love for chicken |
Because we arrived a little too early for check-in time and there were no rooms available at that moment, me and my friend K decided to eat lunch at, where else, but the famous Manokan Country of Bacolod for that taste of chicken inasal. Since K has lived for over a year in the City of Smiles she became my tour guide, so she brought us to Aida's which has become the most famous of the many stalls located in Manokan Country. So obviously I satisfied my hunger with a chicken petso (breast) while K dined in on pork barbecue and chorizo.
After some errands we had dessert at Felicia's Pastry Cafe on Lacson St. for a change from the usual Calea. We had the chocolate cake and sans rival, and both tasted good. And look at the time, it was almost 3 pm and the wedding will start at 4:30 pm so we rushed back to Check Inn to get ready.

| La Costa Brava |
Because it was a Greek-themed wedding it was held in La Costa Brava, the first Spanish-inspired residential resort in Negros Occidental (according to their website). Uhm although not a Greek-inspired resort, it still comes close to being Greek because of its still Mediterranean concept. And especially during sunset when the sun casts its soft glow, you'll be imagining yourself in Santorini.
And as that day unfolds, two hearts and souls were paired forever and they may be true to their vows to be with each other through thick and thin for as long as they live. And for us their friends, we were so happy to see them both smiling and being kilig with each other. All of our expenses were worth it (the dress, fare, accommodation, effort! but greatly acknowledged ^_^) just to be a witness to that glorious day and also to see each other for longer than usual. So long Bacolod, hope to see you soon (for housewarming perhaps. hehe)!
