Qyosko's baby back ribs

Tender, saucy baby back ribs served in Qyosko became one of our recent favorites. Who would not fall for this mouth-watering delight? That succulent meat ready to be peeled off from its bones dipped in savory sauce is a perfect addition to one of those lazy Sunday afternoons.

Cagayan de Oro to Dumaguete

Since childhood, the trip to Negros has always been a major excursion activity with my family from Cagayan de Oro. My mother was raced in Sibulan, a town near Dumaguete. And Dumaguete is the most progressive city in Negros Oriental. Recently, I've learned to love this city more, especially its beautiful nearby towns like Valencia and Bacong.

This is an exhilarating view at the top of the mountain where the Japanese Shrine in Valencia is located. Having chosen the wrong road cost us a one-hour climb uphill with romantic stopovers once in a while. Tiring? Yes. Happy? So happy.

Don't Die, Baby.

Not now. Not in 50 years.
