So when the Cebu Initiatives decided to go out and have some fun, I joined in without hesitation. Well yes, I was somehow wary because I've been going out of town more often than usual, but it's been not usual for a lot of people to get together these days. A little team bonding is also a good factor to consider.
And there you go. :)
Bacolod City was chosen because of its upcoming Masskara festival, which will be this weekend. I only knew of Bacolod City as the City of Smiles, and when we got there, it was so much more. The history, places to see, and their hospitality are refreshing to the heart and soul of a city person.
Upon disembarking from the plane on Saturday morning, we proceeded to have a little tour in the city of Silay. I observed that their place, though already declared as a city a long time, still has ancestral houses here and there. It's always nice to see that our history is still intact in some places.
After a sumptuous breakfast, we headed for Bacolod City. We then took a little city tour, just to see some of the sights. Then we checked in at our pension house at noon. After settling down, we ate our lunch--yes eating is a major-major activity during this outing--then proceeded to go to the house of one of my previous reps to visit. Then we went to the streets to join in the festivities.
The next day we went to Mambukal, which is a famous resort in Negros Occidental that houses their various outdoor activities like wall-climbing, swimming at their pool, bathing at the hot spring, trekking while viewing their numerous falls, and so much more. Mambukal was indeed a great experience.
Yesterday we went back to Bacolod City to relax while waiting for our evening flight. All in all a great adventurous experience!
