Affordable Meals? MASCHADA MEALS | Cagayan de Oro City

MASCHADA MEALS | NEAR LIMKETKAI COMPLEX, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY : Where affordable meals are available.

In one of my articles with regards of one of my travels to Cagayan de Oro City- last October 2010, one of my itineraries was to go where I could squeeze up my budget especially on meals.  I had in mind was to go to MASCHADA MEALS. Why Maschada Meals? It is because of their affordable meals per serving, their friendly crews and their approachable manager and the supervisor, Mr. Junel Ares and Mr. Tiny Empamano.

Dahilayan Adventure Park : Stop Over for Lunch-"Pinutos sa Kanto"

Barangay San Miguel, Manolo Fortich can be seen along our way to Davao or Cagayan de Oro City. This little barangay has a little secret especially on food that you can be proud of once you taste it.

It is in "Pinutos sa Kanto" or in English, "Take Out Corner"---in my own interpretation. 

Part of our Dahilayan Adventure Park Trip and Treat - Part I,  on our way home, we  dropped by to this simple and humble restaurant at San Miguel, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon for a meal. At a glance once you happened to pass by this little restaurant, you could not expect that their something in it.

Before, we used to pass by in this little restaurant, but we've just ignored it. I've just learned it from one of my friends that this little restaurant has something to offer to you.

Why am I covering this humble and little restaurant?

Its because of their food and the cook. One of our favorites is their Roast Beef. Before I will proceed in covering this humble and little restaurant as "Pinutos sa Kanto" or "Take Out Corner"---let me first introduce to you what we have ordered in our Trip and Treat from Dahilayan Adventure Park.

RR Family Spring Resort, Maramag, Bukidnon-Part I

Hello, readers. This is just to give you a glimpse on some views of RR Family Spring Resort of Maramag, Bukidnon, Philippines. Here are some shots that I have taken  during our family outing last May this year.

Children's Pool with fountain at the middle of the Pool.

  

The well blend of color combination of riprap / retaining walls along side with the cottages where the pool is situated at the down side.

I do not have any idea about blogging before. All that I was interested were the man made landscape in the area. Please see below;

Light Ahead | Direction

"At the end of a tunnel there is always light."
Light Ahead is our way and direction, just follow the right pathway.When we stumbled down, always think that we are always on the move, that at the end of every dark tunnel that we are passing through, there is always light ahead. 
This is my motivational thought when I encountered big problems in my life. Now, that I've been through it, with Faith in Him, I am now a motivated one and stronger than before.

The Bukidnon Blogging 101 and How to Make Money On Line-Speakers from CDO are the CDO Bloggers Group

The Bukidnon Blogging 101 and How to Make Money on Line was hosted by the Bukidnon OnLine. It was held at the Sir Edwards Chicken Ati-atihan and was culminated on the same day, last November 06, 2010 at exactly 6:00 p.m. The workshop was indeed a very much useful and informative one for us as bloggers. One of the highlights of the workshop was the formulation or the organization of the Bukidnon Bloggers Group as the pioneering bloggers group in Bukidnon----organized by the Bukidnon Online, headed by Ms. Irene.

Dahilayan Adventure Park-Trip and Treat-Part 1

Del Monte Philippines, Inc.- Manolo Fortich-------This is what you will witness if you are going to Dahilayan Adventure Park, a part of the vast track of land of pineapple plantation of  Del Monte Philippines. It is located at Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. The other plantation areas were being spread like in the Camp Phillips, Libona, all of the province of Bukidnon. 

A month ago, last October, I've been thinking on what gift would I give to my wife as her birthday presents---and it should be unique from her previous birthdays. I opened up to my  kids about the idea on visiting Dahilayan, right away the idea  was affirmed because of the Zip Line, except of my little girl who was so afraid of the height.

Personally, I have fear of height, in spite of being a Civil Engineer. When my wife told me that I have to conquer the fear of height, I never gave her a straight answer on it. Instead, answered her that a Trip and Treat to Dahilayan would be the best idea as my gift. My wife never showed any hesitation with the idea, a sign of fear on her part, but a sign of enthusiasm to conquer her fear by trying another level of her life -----to conquer the longest dual zip line in ASIA.

Reflection to see the back from the glass really one of my favorite pieces. I was just amazed with the result when I took this shot in an establishment. Aside from the bright color, I can see the light from the back that radiates from the window, bouncing back on the refrigerator's glass.

Reflection of your past experiences is needed to come up with a lesson.You must look back. Then look forward with FAITH!!!

Manong Victor is now 58 years old. He has 5 children and one of them died. Only one child left unmarried, but he has still to work hard labor to sustain their daily needs. He had no choice but to grab the construction work because of lack of opportunity in their place, Cabanglasan, Bukidnon. Other source of their income is through a little farming.

Filipino Time is before the time. We were tagged as always late in every occasion that we will be attending. Once late, that is Filipino Time. Today, a new image of Filipinos should emerge, that is "Filipino Time is before the Time". This serves as a challenge to us.
