Nel's Top 3

Image
I’ve learned “again” today that fruits with really high fiber content are not advisable to be taken while in the office - because, obviously you can’t just go flying out of your meeting room when the fiber kicks in and just has to go! But I wouldn’t want to write about that in this blog, amusing as it may be for some and unbearably painful and embarrassing for me (although, that meeting room story is meant to over-exaggerate a point, not at all a true story); I am not going to ruin some people’s appetites. So, in the spirit of “kindness” (ahem) I am going to write about my Top 3 list of high-fiber fruits and vegetables, based on my experience of course. I want to share this because having fiber in one’s diet is really good for the body, it helps flush out unwanted toxins (now, from what TV commercial did I hear this from? Hmmm..) and it makes you feel lighter and more energetic. http://www.froutagoraandreas.com/images/Fruits%20and%20vegetables.jpg thanks to google search for the image

A relaxing get-away….

If you ever get the chance to go to Busay, I urge you to go further and visit a very scenic and serene yet affordable place called Gov. Leyson’s Peak. It is located in Barangay Sayaw, Taptap Tupas in Busay. Before you enter this nature’s haven, just outside is a group of vegetable vendors selling fresh off the farm and scrumptious vegetables at competitive prices. You should try their sweet corn, because it doesn’t disappoint and is very aptly named. They sell mostly at 30 pesos per kilo and you can buy them cooked or otherwise. Squash, carrots, lettuce, cauliflower, radish, and bananas are only some of the fresh produce available in this grocer’s heaven. But enough about what you can see outside, it’s the venue itself that is a wonderful place to explore. For only 25 pesos as entrance fee, you have a chance to look at the view of the magnificent mountaintop terrains and feel the cool mountain breeze embrace your whole being. You can also go horse back riding for as low as 20 pesos for
