Tabo sa Malatapay in Zamboanguita

If it's Wednesday and you're in Dumaguete, don't forget to drop by Malatapay Tabo Market! Do this if you don't want to miss out the fun. 30 Kilometers South of Dumaguete on good road will bring you to a feast for all the senses

Budbud sa Tanjay

Whenever we go to Negros Oriental particularly at Tanjay City, this is one delicacy that we will never miss. It is Budbud. This is similar to the sumang malagkit in Tagalog region but the difference is the taste. This one is sweet and has a twist of chocolate.

Casaroro Falls in Valencia

Valencia’s elevation at 715 feet above sea level endows it with a cool climate.

The native Bingka of Bacong

We turned our route as we wanted to pass the Combado road going to Valencia. As we turned our way, we saw a man and woman baking the Native "Bibingka" beside their house. They were busy and in a hurry packing up the bingka to a box. We stopped at their house and wanted to buy Bingkas. Before we knew it, the bingkas were already sold to a certain customer. But we tried our best to buy at least three pieces just to satisfy our craving mouth and stomach for such native delicacy.

Negros Oriental Arts and Heritage (NOAH)

So, we were there at NOAH. We looked at their showroom and asked for a cabinet but we're not able to find a simple cabinet instead.

The place is called "BAMBULO". They have place to dine in, lodges/cottages to stay, kiddie pool and mini golf

Who makes our Destiny?

I am really bothered with this question. In fact, I am always asking the same question. Who really make our destiny? Is it God or You created your own destiny?

According to Wikipedia, destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos. But again who determines destiny?

There are different views with this question. They've got all the answer, different answers. Some said that God make things happen. He make things accordingly and even the worst events happened in our lives are planned by Him. He places people, things and does the seemingly impossible for those that love him and even those that don't. People who believe this concept sighted verses from the bible and explain that only God knows everything for us and they bet God made everything to happen. But, is it really God? Or we make things to happen?

Some people believe that we created our own destiny because we have given the free will to choose for ourselves. We make our choices thus making our destiny. What are happening right now in our lives are the end results of what decisions/choices we made before. Whatever choices we have determines our future and this all because of you.

Some would argue that no one makes our destiny. What happen happens. They are people who, I guess, believe that whatever will be, will be (“que sera, sera”). Destiny is just a natural state. It is there to force people to move and God only deals with it.

It really isn't very complicated. If you were to ask, who do you think determines our destiny? It is God, yourself, or no one at all?
