Cooling Off This Summer
The sun is scorching hot and the humidity is too high. To beat the summer heat our options are a dip in the pool or drinking our favorite beverage. Lots of options for beverage, like soda, fruit juices or water. And sometimes watery fruits like water melon can help in quenching our thirst.
And how about drinking our favorite fruit juice with some fruit slices or chunks? Not a bad idea right? So here's a fun way of enjoying our juices in a not so conventional way.
Actually, its not something new. I first tried it at Moon Cafe (
another great restaurant worth visiting, I'll write about it some other time) and they call it Sun Coolers. Then I meet the same kind of drink at Aa's, I forgot how its called.
Anyway, the drink is really simple. Its just an orange juice with watermelon, orange and apple slices. And it really taste good! I'm not really a fan of apples but with this drink, I like the taste of apple combined with the other fruits, yummy...
So go ahead and make your own sun cooler and maybe add your own favorite fruit to personalize the taste. Don't forget to share it with family and friends!
The Garden Resort, Montebello
Montebello, a garden resort at the back of Country Mall in Banilad has always been a part of my life. Ever since, I have come to visit the place, either to accompany my mom (my aunt actually, just used to calling her mom) to visit old friends or to attend a family affair with my father (he's working here too).
We use to hang-out here with my siblings to take a dip in their pools. Its also where they learned how to swim with me as their instructor. This is how we used to bond, having the pool all by ourselves all afternoon.
Many guest would consideration this place their home away from home. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. Frequent quest are called by their first names and service are customize according to their needs. Their food taste great and they serve different cuisine. And all this comes at a very affordable price.
Quick look at Bacolod
During our trip to Mambukal, we got a chance to get a quick tour of Bacolod.
It was early morning and most establishments are close. But you can see that there streets are clean and very peaceful.
We visited the capitol of Negros Occidental, it has a very vast space. The place is ideal for an early morning jog, and you can see people from all walks of life enjoying the early morning sun.
I wish to explore Bacolod more. I'll be back soon..
A Quick dip in the sea
The easiest venue for a beach outing or gathering is
Portofino Beach Resort, in
Mactan Island. It has white sand beach and crystal clear waters with blooming corals and color fishes below the waters.
Unfortunately, the resort is not wallet friendly. Entrance to the resort is 100 pesos per head and there's a separate payment for the cottages. And there's also corkage if bottled beverages are brought from outside. Though bottled beverages are available in their store for a slightly higher price.
This could be the price for having a very accessible place to enjoy white sand beach within the City. This place is good for impromptu outings or a quick deep in the water to unwind and chill.
