Don Salvador Benedicto

-





Have you been thought of visiting or living simply in a place wherein will fill your eyes with so much green and so much to discern? I have been to a place which can surely satisfy your desire as a traveler and as a nature lover, like me. Highlands, paddy fields, sugarcane plantations, waterfalls, spring waters, sumptuous foods -- name it all. Don Salvador Benedicto is surely a place for you to visit. DSB is a 5th class Municipality and considered as the Summer Capital of Negros located at the eastern part of Negros Occidental, Philippines. It is just approximately one hour and thirty minutes away from Bacolod-Silay International Airport. I have been there for a road trip to spend the remaining days of my semestral break before coming back to Malaysia for my studies.
My first stop is The Mountain View Resort. It has a restobar which serves any type of dish for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a snack. I try their native coffee and tuna sandwich while enjoying the scenic view.


The brewed coffee is just so perfect for the cool and breezy wind gently touching my skin.
Basking under the sun just to be photobombed by the lovey part of Mt. Kanlaon.

I take a further drive and see Balokon Spring Resort. This place is absolutely an ideal place for families, friends and couples who would like to spend their weekends and holidays for relaxation. It has rooms where you can stay overnight and cottages for your daytime activities and leisure for an affordable rate.



The entrance is so welcoming.





And so the inside.

And there is more, further, I take around 10 minutes drive to reach La Vista Highlands. It has an entrance fee of 100 Philippine Peso each person or approximately 9 Ringgit Malaysia. There is a short walk towards the main entrance and it is quite rocky. Nevertheless, I am so satisfied as I reached inside. It has rooms for overnight stay, restaurant, and a swimming pool. There are other amenities available, just check with their friendly staff around if you want to try.


Everyday is summer at La Vista Highlands.




Try to swim. The cold wind is biting your skin. 



Enjoying the panorama of Mt. Kanlaon.




If you want to go on the other side, try their zip line. 
I am so in love with mountains. 



Driving back to Bacolod, I drop by in a small shed along the road to snap a photo of the famous Malatan-og Falls. This falls is seemly for all the adventurers who would like to go for a trek. Trek time going to Malatan-og falls fro  the highway is about one hour.



The falls is also known for its tall-cigarette-water-falls feature.



And to highlight my road trip, it is not complete without spending my little while in DSB's landmark.




For the nth time to be here. But still I love this place.




Familiar of Lion's Club International?





Come and visit. You will surely love Don Salvador Benedicto, I guarantee you.

Best sword ever created in history

One Slice , One Kill 1 . Napoleon's Sword On the battlefield Napoleon carried a pistol and a sword. He owned a large collection of arms and artillery. His weapons were one of a kind and included the best materials. In the summer of 2007, a gold-encrusted sword that once belonged to Napoleon was auctioned off in France for more than $6.4 million dollars. The sword was used by Napoleon in battle. In the early 1800s, Napoleon presented the weapon to his brother as a wedding gift. The sword was passed down from generation to generation, never leaving the Bonaparte family. In 1978, the sword was declared a national treasure in France and the winner of the auction was not identified. 2 . Sword of Mercy The Sword of Mercy has a broken blade, which is cut off short and square. In 1236, the weapon was given the name curtana and has since been used for royal ceremonies. In ancient times it was a privilege to bear this sword before the king. It was considered a merciful gesture. The stor...

TASK VS WORKLOAD

1.TASK a  task  is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time or by a deadline to work towards work-related goals. A task can be broken down into assignments which should also have a defined start and end date or a deadline for completion. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task normally renders the task completed. Tasks can be linked together to create dependencies. Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others. Coordinated human interaction takes on the role of combining the integration of time, energy, effort, ability, and resources of multiple individuals to meet a common goal. Coordination can also be thought of as the critical mechanism that links or ties together the efforts on the singular level to that of the larger task being completed by multiple members. Coordination allows for the successful completion of the othe...

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL SYMBOLS

Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has their own national symbols to identify themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism. Check out these official national symbols of the Philippines: Credit: Google NATIONAL ANIMAL: CARABAO If common men have dogs as their best friend, then the carabao or Philippine water buffalo is the Filipino farmer’s best friend. They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods. But, without any laws to recognized them, they’ll remain an unofficial symbol of the country. Credit: Google NATIONAL FRUIT: MANGO A common sight in Philippine wet and dry markets, the mango has long been seen as the National fruit. As popular as it is for making desserts, there is no law that proclaims it as a national symbol. Credit: Go...
