  • La Vista Highlands


  • The Great La Vista Highlands Adventure: Round Two!
  • So, here's the plan. We were all set to head to the mountains the next day, specifically to La Vista Highlands Mountain Resort. It was our second attempt after a year because the first time we went, it rained so hard even the ducks were complaining. This time, we decided to be smart and get to bed early so we could leave by 6 AM. Yeah, right. At 8 AM, we were still lounging around with our coffees, pretending to be morning people.
  • The Journey
  • Around 8-ish, we finally hit the road towards Bacolod City to catch the bus to San Carlos, with La Vista Highlands as our final destination. Armed with my trusty Panasonic G9 and 12-60 mm lens, we were ready to capture some magic. Google Maps claimed it was a 1.5-hour drive by car, but the bus? It operates on its own mysterious schedule. One thing was sure: the scenery along the way was straight out of a fairy tale, with mountains kissing the clouds and landscapes that make you question if you're actually in a live-action movie.
  • Arrival and the Food Frenzy
  • We arrived around 11 AM, fashionably late by bus standards. First order of business: explore the surroundings. But then hunger struck, and our exploration took a backseat. We ordered the house specialty, La Vista Bachoi, and let me tell you, our taste buds were doing the cha-cha. Looking at the menu, we realized we wanted to try everything. The food was that good.
  • Activities Galore
  • What can you do there, you ask? Well, they've got zip lining, horseback riding, trail walks, and a swimming pool. It's like a mini adventure park in the mountains. Zip lining had us feeling like superheroes, and horseback riding was an experience (note to self: invest in a cushion). The pool provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation, and the trails? Let's just say, they were Instagram-worthy.
  • Conclusion
  • If you're in search of an oasis of peace and relaxation, La Vista Highlands is your spot. With activities for everyone and scenery that could make a poet weep, it’s the perfect getaway. Here are a few photos to give you a taste of the magic that awaits.

The Culinary Chronicles of a European in Bacolod: A Night at Tiumai-Dimsum House

-
Image
Bacolod, the City of Smiles, where the chicken is inasal-icious and the dim sum is, well, let's just say it's worth writing home about. Last night, my family and I embarked on a gastronomic adventure to a little gem known as Tiumai-Dimsum House. Now, this isn't your run-of-the-mill, fancy-schmancy eatery with an unpronounceable menu. Oh no, this is where you go for the real deal, the kind of place where the terrace is cozy, the vibe is chill, and the food? Simply divine. Let's talk about the chef, my brother-in-law, the unsung hero of this culinary tale. He's the maestro behind the wok, the wizard with the steamer, the... you get the picture. His hands weave magic, and the result? A symphony of flavors that could make a grown man weep. I may hail from the land of baguettes and brie, but my taste buds have a soft spot for Asian cuisine, and let me tell you, they were singing hallelujahs last night.Now, I've scoured the streets of London, hunting for that perfect ...

The Cinco de Noviembrie-Silay City

-
Image
  The Cinco de Noviembre Mark Point in Silay City is not just any old spot on the map; it's a place where history buffs can geek out and where the spirit of revolution is as palpable as the humidity in the Philippine air. This is where the Negrenses, with a dash of cunning and a pinch of bravery, gave the Spanish colonial forces the boot and said, "Adios, amigos!" Let's set the scene: It's 1898, and the sugar is sweet, but freedom is sweeter. The local sugar barons and workers are brewing a revolution, and what better place to plot a rebellion than in a pharmacy? That's right, the Farmacia Locsin wasn't just doling out cough syrups and headache pills; it was the secret headquarters for a revolution! Now, every November 5th, the people of Negros Occidental throw a party to remember the day they decided enough was enough. They celebrate Negros Day with all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect from folks who kicked off their own republic, even if it was...
