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

An Ideal Student



I think this would be more applicable to this site because most of the members here are students. I was once a student like you. I experienced most if not all what you have experience. The stress and the rush are always part of being student. Lessons are from here and there. Attend class every day. Meet with friends and classmates. Study lessons and make assignments. These are some of the activities that a student should have. Passing or failing in the class is part of the game. But what are the qualities that a student must have in order to pass or make at the top? Do you have these qualities? If don’t, how do you acquire such qualities?

Actually being a student does not always mean that you have to study everyday always and you have to focus yourself only into studying. Studying is part of being a student. You are called a student because you have to study. Study what are the next lessons to be taken up and be prepared always. Although studying is necessary for students but you will not learn if you force yourself of what you do not want. That is why learning or studying should be accompanied by fun. Learning should be fun. Enjoy as a student.

In this dynamic world, it is clear that many things happen every minute. Change is always there. You have to grab the opportunity to enjoy changes around us. By these assumptions, we have to do things balance. Always study makes a dull boy. We have to socialize.

To fulfill the life as student, you must be part of different co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Study shows that most successful people are those who are active not only in academic but also to activities beyond academic aspect. This is really true because through participation in different activities in school will enhance your knowledge how to deal with real situations and manage the true purpose of what you are studying. These will also serve as the venue for you to apply what you have learned in the four walls of your classrooms. You don’t have to get only theories but also application. Most companies are looking more on your competencies on the actual performance rather on the theories you’ve learned in school.

Is it not boring that you are always inside your room with books around you? Is it not weird? If you are more on theories you become very idealistic and will not accept the imperfections of the world. Sometimes the theories you have studied is not always applicable to real life situations. An ideal student is the one who knows how to balance academics and non-academic activities. Too much or too less of something is not good. It should be fair. Equilibrium is always the answer. As students, start to begin with involvements in different activities while learning and I’m sure at the end you will feel the satisfaction you are looking for as a student. Learning is fun. Begin balance student life this school year. Aja!
