Day 6 : Extension
Our trip to Nueva Vizcaya never
ended in Mt. Ynordenan after we had been invited to visit another leisure farm not far from Bone South in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya. We rode on a jeepney bound for Aritao proper and
rushed to the public market first to buy some supplies and food for our overnight stay in the farm resort.

Grilled fish, perfect food in the farm |
A five minute tricycle ride took
us to Brgy.Tucanon, Aritao where we decided to spend our night in a six (6)
hectare farm of Cacheros . The place is owned by the relatives of our companion, Rodolfo Fernandez.
Reaching the place , we were welcomed by his grandfather and proudly introduced us to his relatives.

♪ We Did It Our Way!♪
After setting up our bags and tents at the function hall of the farm resort, we immediately prepared
the fresh tilapia and hito we bought from the market for quick grilling. While waiting for the fish
turned crispy perfect, we put our golden voices into test by singing our heart out, hard and loud using the videoke machine standing right in the middle of the function hall.

The next Philippine singing idol! |
After a couple of hours, the crazy and lazy afternoon made me jumped up to my feet and brought Marvin with me to wander around the farm. Our curiosity led us to the top of a hill in the north side of the farm, where we discovered a spot of the perfect view of the valley.
The nth Shades of Green
The scenic view at the top of the hill astonished us upon witnessing the vast lush green fields of onion plantation in Aritao. The valley is surrounded with hills and mountains serving as guards, protecting the crops of hard working people of Aritao.

The view at the peak of Cachero's Farm |
Our afternoon delight on the hills have gone more exciting upon seeing a number of noisy Black-naped Oriole ( Oriolus chinensis) flying from one tree to another. The bright yellow birds were fun to watch seeing them in groups flying around the bushy environment of the hills.
Consistent Gatecrasher Award Goes to ?
Descending from the hills we were surprised when children flocked and popped inside the farm . Little did we know there was a scheduled family reunion organized in the place, and we were honored to join them for snacks.
It was another funny moment realizing that I am getting consistent on gate crashing on some people's special occasion, from birthday parties, fiestas, and even Muslim wedding. Am hoping these are just coincidence and not my fate or my new niche in the society. Hahahaha.

I Gatecrashed in a family reunion, again! |
The afternoon snacks had its continuation during dinner where the clan served different dishes out of goat's
meat. My favorite was the Papaitan which I believed a specialty in the
area.
The night lasted longer after getting acquainted with Rodolfo's cousins, nephews and.... ok with the whole clan.
It was a merry moment bumping with people whom we met for the first time and get to know them using the best medium of socialization, drinking and singing until early dawn. It was one hell of a family reunion in which we shouldn't be part of it in the first place. HIK! HIK! and another HIK ! That's all I got after the party! Hahaha.

Day 7
With only few hours of sleep, the
glaring rays of the sun irritated my eyes waking me up against my will (?). Since weren't able to go back to sleep , Marvin and I decided to hop to the other
side of the hill, discovering another beautiful angle of the mountain/hill ranges. There
was a long wooden bench on the
hill top and sitting on it would place you in a spot with a breathe taking view of the whole area with a perfect
background for picture taking and of course relaxation.

I would love to have a morning like this...on a hill top. |
Cow-nt Me In
Strolling along the hillside , we even encounter a cow freely grazing and not caring who ever passes by her. Due to fascination, our animal loving instinct unleashed from within and approached the innocent cow and got successful getting its trust. This encounter have its therapeutic effect on my being, spiritually and psychologically, testing my ablility to connect with other living creatures on earth. It was an overwhelming happiness and I recommend for you to try and experience it too.
