Hello everyone!
You know I am not a type of person who stay late at night just to do nothing. I want to seek adventure and explore places I never been too. I have lived here in Bacolod City, Philippines most of my life and I still say I have not yet discovered may things that I would like to do. Especially going out more at night since my previous jobs where always graveyard (meaning you are evening shifts), I never manage to give myself an alone time to go out late at night more.
I started my midnight adventure as early as 6pm along a certain area in the city where it's called the UPPER EAST, which is located at Lopues East Bowling Center in Bacolod City.
What is the UPPER EAST?

The 34-hectare The Upper East, Megaworld’s second township development in Bacolod City, is located on what used to be the Bacolod-Murcia Milling Company (BMMC) on the eastern side of Bacolod City. Inspired by New York City’s affluent Upper East Side district, The Upper East rises as the city’s first master-planned, mixed-use community that will host Bacolod's newest and most modern central business district.
Apart from it's massive buildings there are other areas that are hiding waiting to be found since the place has been build many certain spot have been forgotten for quite a bit especially this area was well known for it's Hi-strip buildings full of cafe's and restaurant's. I did not focus much on the Upper East area since I am more situated from the I use to spend time before. After some time roaming around the new spot in the city I manage to feel hungry and begun craving for some Korean food. Luckily, I stumbled upon a Korean convenient store just and beside it is a known Samgyupsal place in the city the TILAWI SAMGYUPSAL. Since it was getting late at night I get inside the store and I was about the service there the server manage to guide me how to use the cooking station where I could cook my instant Ramyun (Korean spicy noodle soup). I also ordered Tteokbokki (popular Korean rice cake street food) and some drink.
After a delicious dinner so I manage to get an icecream from a the nearby Mc-Donald's. I stayed there doing some extra side hussle to spend my time. For a moment I felt bored and begun walking down the path and met my former English teacher form highschool and guess what we have a similar hobby and that is to drink coffee. It was a great time to have since I needed to fought off the sugary taste of icecream and to reflenished my pallet. We ordered one Ice Latte and One regular Ice coffee and begin talking about the past years of not seeing each other. She was my favorite teacher she was very kind and very polite. She may be a little strict but that's just her expression in order for us to keep learning. Seeing her happy is what makes me motivate more to do better so I payed for her order to show respect and continue talking about the old days. We talked for hours and we haven't checked the time it was already past midnight. We said are goodbyes to each othe and wished each other a good life then move on.
Before going home stopped by our local cathedral to pray, I thanked God for everything. Since it was midnight already the gates where closed for me to light up some candles to show respect and pray more. I then go home and rest knowing I finish the day with a smile on my face.
