Once upon a long ago, we climbed the highest mountain peak in one of Negros Occidental’s hidden wonders called “Tinagong Dagat” (Hidden Sea) located in Barangay Patag Silay City. I am not really a mountaineer and we never expected how really hard it was to climb the mountain. It was a week after a storm hit the province so the usual trek was destroyed and it was really hard to climb since the way was so slippery. We were not sure about doing it all over again unless we must secure prohormones first.

But you cannot explain the feeling when you have reached the top and able to see the beauty of the hidden lake on the top of the mountain. We spent the night at the mountain the next day. We took the other way in going down back home and we were able to see the other side of the province.
