London skyline


 Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share with you this amazing photo that I took during my trip to London. It's a stunning view of the city skyline at night, with all the lights and colors reflecting on the river Thames. I was lucky enough to find a perfect spot on a bridge to capture this moment. It was a bit chilly, but totally worth it!



London is such a vibrant and diverse place, full of history, culture and entertainment. I had a blast exploring its museums, parks, markets and pubs. There's so much to see and do, you can never get bored. I especially loved the Tower of London, where I learned about the royal history and saw the crown jewels. And of course, I couldn't miss the iconic Big Ben, which is undergoing some renovation work, but still looks majestic.


I hope you enjoyed this photo as much as I did. It's one of my favorites from this trip. London is definitely a city that I would love to visit again and again. Have you ever been to London? What are your favorite spots? Let me know in the comments below!

A Sunset Surprise

Sebastian, my good friend, reached out to me just a few days ago with a spark of excitement in his voice. "Let's go to Seven Sisters Cliffs," he urged, his tone brimming with the promise of adventure. "We'll take some stunning photos there." Intrigued by his sudden burst of spontaneity, I couldn't help but question whether he had considered the capricious nature of our English weather—a factor not to be underestimated. His response came swiftly, laced with a hint of optimism, "It should be nice," he said. "I've checked the forecast, and it looks promising." But we both knew the truth about English weather—it's as reliable as a coin toss. Yet, emboldened by his enthusiasm, I agreed to the plan. The following day broke with a sky so clear and a sun so radiant that it felt as though the stars had aligned just for us. With spirits high and cameras ready, we embarked on our journey to the famed Seven Sisters, a place where nature's artistry paints the horizon with breathtaking beauty.

But as fate would have it, upon our arrival, the skies betrayed us. A steady drizzle began to fall, blurring the once crisp outlines of the cliffs. We found ourselves seeking shelter instead of snapshots, our hopes dampened by the relentless rain.

Nevertheless, we persevered, and as the day wore on, the clouds began to part, granting us a reprieve. It was in the evening when the true spectacle unfolded—a bit of sun pierced through the grey, setting the stage for a magical sunset. The cliffs, bathed in a golden hue, stood proudly against the painted sky, and we, humbled by the sight, captured the moment in all its ephemeral glory. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable experiences are those that come after the storm.

Patag-silay city-Philippines

 What an amazing adventure we had in Patag, mountains! We decided to visit this beautiful place after hearing so many good things about it from our friends. It was a bit of a challenge to get there, but totally worth it. We took a jeepney from Silay City, which cost us 80 pesos per person. The ride was bumpy and dusty, but also scenic and fun. We saw th






e green hills, the blue sky, and the colorful houses along the way. We chatted with the friendly driver and the other passengers, who were mostly locals going to their farms or relatives.









We arrived at Patag after about an hour and a half. We were greeted by the cool breeze and the fresh air. We felt like we were in a different world.



 



We stayed at a cozy guesthouse run by a lovely couple. They served us delicious meals made from organic ingredients grown in their garden. We enjoyed their hospitality and their company. We also met some other travelers who shared their experiences and tips with us. We had a great time exchanging stories and laughs.


The next day, we went for a hike to see more of the natural beauty of Patag. We followed a trail that led us to some breathtaking views of the mountains and the valleys. We felt so close to nature and to each other. We took many pictures and videos to capture our memories. We also had a picnic by a river, where we relaxed and soaked in the sun.






We went back to Silay City in the afternoon, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We thanked our hosts and our guide for making our trip unforgettable. We also thanked ourselves for taking this opportunity to explore a new place and to bond with each other. We learned a lot and we had a lot of fun.







Patag, mountains is truly a gem that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is a place where you can experience nature, history, culture, and adventure all in one. It is a place where you can find peace, joy, and love. It is a place that we will always remember and cherish.






I had an amazing time in Patag with my beautiful wife, who was my best travel buddy. Patag is truly a gem of Negros Occidental, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and adventure. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Until next time, mga kaibigan!
