Swimming at Balite Falls

They are all off-limits to go near the waterfalls. The field trip facilitators are manning the rope that stops them from going there.

Lovely isn’t it?

Who needs to go to the bathroom when you got free-flowing water to remove the dirt off?

Art Lessons from Global Art Philippines

Artistic Expressions, Enrichment, From the Teacher, Philippines, Weekends, Younger Daughter 2 Comments

Last year, I wrote about Global Art Philippines and the national art competition they held last year.

Last month, the younger daughter availed of the gift certificate I have forgotten about have long buried in my bag. Good thing Miss Yen, the directress of Global Art Philippines was accommodating and gave us the chance to redeem the free services. We got eight hours of free lessons plus materials.

The younger daughter was scheduled to have four 2-hour sessions.

Below is her art work, which was done last Saturday, her second from the 4 two hour sessions:

Nice eh?

Thank you Global Art Philippines, especially Global Art Ortigas (Main) for giving my daughter a chance to have these lessons in your center.

This is the entrance gate of Sunlight Resort. As we can see, it is quite busy with cars coming in after others went in.

The two younger kids had a great time playing with their toys when the photo was taken. They were savoring the last days of summer vacation during the time the photo was taken.

Markers are wonderful sources of information about historical places.

Below is a Dauis Church Complex Marker that informs visitors about the place and among the information are:  it was built in 1697, Jesuits lived in the convent during 1753 – 1768, 1768 was also the year when Recoletos priests took over.

The design of the church is that of neo-Gothic and neo-Classic.
