We Filipinos love delicious food. Every island in the country have its own delicacy perfected through the years.
These food here are unfortunately not those delicacies but they sure taste great!
Well, if you guys happen to visit Negros Occidental, take the time to visit Balaring, Silay City. Their menu is mouthwatering and there are a lot of restaurants to choose from.
Me and my friends had a brunch today in one of the most famous seaside restaurants in the province and while we are enjoying our food, i saw this kid with his friends also enjoying the water.
With the scorching summer sun? I find myself wishing I am swimming with them
I love watching clouds. When I was young I’d spend a whole day staring at it, amazed by the different shapes it forms.
I remembered summer days with skies so blue and clouds so white and fluffy. I remembered seeing animals, faces and all sorts of funny shapes. With everyone in our house busy, staring at the clouds kept me out of everyones way.
That was then. I still love staring at clouds. I can still see the amazing shapes it creates. But life is not that carefree anymore.
Bacolod Capitol Lagoon.
One of the most famous landmarks of the city.
a remedy for a really hot day.
makes you wonder how they interpret the sign.
I am a Filipino and I believe that we have the most undisciplined drivers. Overtaking? Parking at a No Parking sign? Parking at a pedestrian lane? You name it, they can violate it.
Seriously people, this has to change!
this thing here is my lame attempt at playing with food.
an attempt at macro via mobile.hope this show well.
[Note: I know the picture is a bit confusing but i was actually aiming for the kids when i took that photo]
They’re old enough to be in school but too young to be peddling in the middle of the night.
I remembered when I was in college, there are a lot of kids at the boulevard peddling peanuts or singing to people in exchange for money. Some, apparently not inclined to do either prefers the old fashioned begging.
Most of them don’t go to school. They peddle there day in and day out for food. Some of the kids work as motorcycle guards or washes cars.
I really pity these kids knowing that their parents are not exactly invalids but are simply too lazy to work and instead sends their kids at the boulevard so they can have money for gambling. This is not an assumption by the way. We did talk to these kids before when I was still a journalism student in Dumaguete.
The Boulevard, with all its calm facade and beauty is not exactly the best place for a child at night. Prostitution, drugs and a lot of illegal things happen at the boulevard and around it. These kids are too young to be exposed to these things.
Yet, there they are every day and every night. What kind future awaits them? I wonder.
