Soft grind kinda day in Bacolod 🐺

Started with a solid morning workout, hit the driving range for a bit of golf, then wrapped it all up with brunch at Café Mera and a samgyup sesh. If you’re into lowkey lifestyle vlogs with a bit of everything — food, fitness, and the Bacolod vibe — this one's for you.

📍 Café Mera — tucked away in Mandalagan, Lacson Extension. Good coffee, aesthetic interiors, perfect spot to work or chill.
Golf practice — still trash but trying.
Samgyupsal — always a good idea.

Is This Bacolod Café Aesthetic… or Just Creepy?

We pulled up to 60s Café expecting vintage vibes and photo ops — and we got that… plus a little Insidious energy we didn’t sign up for. 😅

📍Canlaon View, Bacolod
🚗 Long drive but smooth ride
📸 Great for IG shoots (esp. those cars)
😳 Wait 'til you see what’s inside…

If you're into hidden spots, old-school charm, or just weird experiences — this one’s for you.

𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧 𝟲𝟭𝟲 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 (𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱)

I’ve stayed at Unit 616 in Bacolod before, and it’s always been my default when I need a weekend to escape the noise. Clean. Cozy. Fast WiFi. Instant soft life.

But today? Today almost made me hit “Cancel Booking.”

It started with a long week. Mentally fried, spiritually overdue for silence. So I booked Unit 616 again — craving slow mornings, streaming nights, and a fridge stocked with leftover Coke and peace.

I arrived, tired but hopeful. The guard smiled. I took the elevator up. Pressed “6.” Familiar.

But when I opened the door…
No cool breeze.
No diffused lighting.
No smell of fresh linens.

I panicked.

I said, “Wait lang… is this not the soft life I ordered?”

Turns out, I forgot to message the host that I’d be arriving earlier than check-in. Aircon was off. Curtains still drawn. I stood there, bag on shoulder, like a man left on seenzoned.

I was this close to rage-napping on the couch, but then—

Ding. Phone buzzes.
“Hi! We just saw you checked in — feel free to adjust anything. AC and Netflix remote are on the nighstand!”
Followed by: “PS. We left a snack in the fridge. Ginbinlan ka da namon sang gamay nga treat :)”

Open fridge.
Boom. Cold can of Royal.
Some leftover chips.
Even a bottle of water. Chilled.

I turn on the AC. It hums like forgiveness.
Open Netflix. Continue Watching: “Tastefully Yours.”
Sit on the bed. Fluffy, clean, a little too perfect.

I blinked.
I was no longer mad.
I was healed.

And then came the real plot twist: the WiFi? Fast. Faster than my situationship replies.

I realized something right there:
Unit 616 didn’t fail me.
It let life humble me before saving me.

So no, I didn’t cancel my stay.
I extended it. 😌

Thanks for the plot twist, 616.

In transit but never off duty. The grind travels with me. ✈️

There’s something about being a little drunk that makes strangers feel like friends.

You know that feeling—when the music’s just right, the buzz hits, and suddenly you're talking to a stranger like you’ve known each other for years?

Bars and clubs aren’t just for hookups. Sometimes they give us those rare, human moments. A quick chat. A shared laugh. Then maybe coffee after.

🎙️ Catch the drop this Wednesday, May 21.

Soft grind Saturdays hit different when there’s vinyl and caffeine.

A reset I didn’t know I needed.
Coffee in hand. Vinyl spinning.
Energy? Lowkey but alive. ☕️🎶
• Pourboy’s Siesta Club gave weekend peace with personality
• All vinyl sets that hit just right
• Caught that perfect blend of soft grind and slow living
• No pressure, just presence

This is how you pause without quitting the mission.
This is how wolves rest.
