It was indeed an unforgettable experience.I was actually invited to speak about BLS-CPR topic as well as ECG Interpretation to a group of nursing graduates in preparation for their upcoming nursing board exam. Along the sideline, I was able to take pictures of some wonderful sites in the city.<br />

It is some sort of a board walk where people can jog, walk and exercise. Some establishments and settlers in the riverside where relocated and replaced with these bricks and ornaments. It's like a walk in the park....</div>

Iloilo City is a place of many old Spanish Houses. I am assuming that during the early times, a lot of Spanish settlers resided in the city. Old churches can also be found like this one on the left, the Molo Church<br />

While in Iloilo, don't forget to try the Lapaz Batchoy. I am sure that you have heard about the origin of this famous batchoy. Yes, I did try it and I surely agree that is one of the best.... But I tell you there are many other delicious foods that Iloilo can offer which will surely fill your taste buds.<br />

Going to Kawasan is very easy. All you need to do is go to the South Bus Terminal and take a bus (Ceres) heading for Badian. Its actually a 3 hour ride by bus and 2 hours ride by private vehicle if you wish to go there. Once you reach Badian proper, you go continue moving until you reach Matutinao. You will not miss the place since you can easily ask any resident in the area for directions. If you take a bus, then just advise the bus driver that you wish to disembark in Kawasan.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIluc_YKRqyMbdqxcKRzmp7lAW70-rVaA_-1YYg9BV6BhBS6vpkKOC-yyjRaNfL-wgo-ED9UlkRwB7CFkwv0BG4qZ-9iJ3efKCrux85OYOSa9uyrcGXTPGOZcL3GNcCt7LZ3F9rNOadP4/s1600/DSC_0100.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIluc_YKRqyMbdqxcKRzmp7lAW70-rVaA_-1YYg9BV6BhBS6vpkKOC-yyjRaNfL-wgo-ED9UlkRwB7CFkwv0BG4qZ-9iJ3efKCrux85OYOSa9uyrcGXTPGOZcL3GNcCt7LZ3F9rNOadP4/s400/DSC_0100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677064741982001938" border="0" /></a><br />This is the main falls (First Falls) in Kawasan.

Well, though I have posted this late, after the firing activity, we stayed in our room to relax and wait for evening to come. I would have wanted to sleep, but I do not have the habit of sleeping in the afternoon. So by 3 in the afternoon, I took my favorite snacks.. a cup of coffee outside my room.

It might be because of the trees in the area that always provide the cooling effect within the surrounding. I took a couple of shots on some nearby flowers and plants, just to see if I have improved my picture taking abilities... this is what I got... well, whether you like the picture or not, it truly proves that the drizzle was there proving once again that Kidapawan City is obviously cool.

<br />So evening came, we proceeded to Grand Ficus Hotel where we had our dinner in one of the cottages near the poolside. The place is eventually great and is indeed a good place to relax and unwind...

<br />I am now in Kidapawan City,<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>a day earlier than our training schedule.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There was not much to do except to let the day pass by and just relax. But our coordinator had something different in mind. By 10 in the morning they pick us up from our humble abode so that we can go on firing. Yes, their usual hobby… Our host Dr. Abejo and his wife Mam Sonia are avid shooters, including their children. They usually spent time going to the firing range from time to time.

This is their first time to shoot a weapon. I am sure that they are very much excited to do so.

So Sir Bong conducted a short safety briefing to our first time shooters. He fired a few rounds so that they can see what it is like.</p><p class="MsoNormal">After such, each of us took turns firing the weapon. If you have not fired yet, I'm telling you, firing is fun and tiring. It can also make you hungry. So after firing, we proceeded to a restaurant or shall I say carenderia which serves all kinds of dishes from goat meat. It was indeed a great adventure. We laid back to our room and was advised to rest.. I have a feeling that we are going for another adventure by the evening...</p><p class="MsoNormal">

We took the via Buda route.. along the way, I took some pictures.. definitely if you see this views, you will know that you are already in Bukidnon... I took the pictures as the bus was traveling and inside the bus with the glass window in between... so pardon if the pictures are not that clear.. consider also that I am still a newbie on this photography thing...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vpHpOw84VfjIQqMDImTkglUEOhAuQ5nN7eUA7fSw3x0TNzTWzo7jP4tRHcN5RfY0sjLAUFmy15EW998X66IwxFqFLlgC-5y9E5QZ2yDXXsZuQjHlp8niuO-oROjq1KL0lkwEQlZx7ag/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vpHpOw84VfjIQqMDImTkglUEOhAuQ5nN7eUA7fSw3x0TNzTWzo7jP4tRHcN5RfY0sjLAUFmy15EW998X66IwxFqFLlgC-5y9E5QZ2yDXXsZuQjHlp8niuO-oROjq1KL0lkwEQlZx7ag/s400/DSC_0009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573436573297143618" border="0" /></a><br />Pine trees are abundant in Bukidnon.

Overall, the hotel is good. Although the location is in the market area so what you would see outside are a lot of market wares being sold. Above is the picture of the reception area.... and below is my buddy Leo who likes to stay in the reception area... I was just wondering why he loves to stay there.. Perhaps you should go there and find out yourself....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuE57Pz9Bn93ZXYl8omp3cSUVdTFQBMQy8Zr25Rgfh8aiMXLtX2EN8dKOOZxyTm31ltakb2v4AEAAPI-oWrvsiqNgB10vyVaGVRppl4cGn7KK8qgksCFinWKNZsOSqekJK5XRax54_8YQ/s1600/DSC_0135.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuE57Pz9Bn93ZXYl8omp3cSUVdTFQBMQy8Zr25Rgfh8aiMXLtX2EN8dKOOZxyTm31ltakb2v4AEAAPI-oWrvsiqNgB10vyVaGVRppl4cGn7KK8qgksCFinWKNZsOSqekJK5XRax54_8YQ/s400/DSC_0135.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573430178034400786" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-70933215946057450.post-13199034997042991762011-01-18T04:53:00.000-08:002011-01-18T22:53:02.661-08:00Our Kidapawan City Adventure Part 2 "Lake Agco"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBCR5U6-XUNZchLTj1A9lg7U_8NH2FIY4Hpe8YiWxx0p8QSxD6TTeJ2kDNNK8H3FnBWO7oENm4jReno4MCfkQx1lBlkTfZwgTvMIJkjpZGKWRq92H-gXEYyj8u-OMmyCXIJKVbc4_wboQ/s1600/DSC_0129.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBCR5U6-XUNZchLTj1A9lg7U_8NH2FIY4Hpe8YiWxx0p8QSxD6TTeJ2kDNNK8H3FnBWO7oENm4jReno4MCfkQx1lBlkTfZwgTvMIJkjpZGKWRq92H-gXEYyj8u-OMmyCXIJKVbc4_wboQ/s400/DSC_0129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563509319674164322" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Finally we have arrived in Lake Agko. It was really a nice place to relax and enjoy. The trip was well worth it. This is the pool area with some cottages on the background. The water in the area is free flowing from a cold spring.

APO from my point of view.....<br /><br />I have conducted training in Kidapawan City. This is the very first time I have visited the place. Our coordinators in the area was kind enough to pick us up in Digos City. We traveled by night so I was not able to take a lot of pictures of the place. Anyway, I had the opportunity to take some pictures after our training. Its also a good opportunity for me to update this blog of mine......<br /><br />Kidapawan City is about 2 hours drive from Davao City. Its already part of the province of North Cotabato. I know that many people especially upon hearing the word Cotabato would think twice going to the area due to peace and order concerns. But upon reaching the area, my perception of the place changed from fear to amazement.<br /><br />Waking us up in the morning are the sound of birds, and at 6-7 am you can still feel the coldness of the morning and see some parts of the city covered with fog... something that you can no longer see in most city areas in our country.<br /><br />This is the the City's main street taken at 6 in the evening....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1rmEY3csprk63ZndWLnLAa42xlAvaCFPf_aEgpMoI1Df0lZf554PWUD5usc9pjVyFKI4Ibuw1BSLwR48BQOTIyjxyji_SKqWHoPzmiNK73h1M3zyAM5Nb0lWl-PEHen0QJxGmJw_Eyg/s1600/DSC_0076.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1rmEY3csprk63ZndWLnLAa42xlAvaCFPf_aEgpMoI1Df0lZf554PWUD5usc9pjVyFKI4Ibuw1BSLwR48BQOTIyjxyji_SKqWHoPzmiNK73h1M3zyAM5Nb0lWl-PEHen0QJxGmJw_Eyg/s400/DSC_0076.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563052544905507442" border="0" /></a><br />Common mode of transportation in the City Area is the pedicab (tricycle). Jeepneys and buses are also available. But within the city area you can simply go your way around by means of the tricycle.<br /><br />Prior to leaving Kidapawan City, our coordinators were kind enough to bring us to one of their recommended place to visit... "Lake Agko". The place is less than an hour drive from the city proper. Most of those who wanted to visit Mt. Apo usually proceed to Lake Agko as a starting point.<br /><br />Heading towards the place, I saw this Rubber Tree Plantation. I think the city supplies the largest amount of rubber for our country.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgov30Oayrstj1Fqi4fe2b4Tofc_il6_ex7yvoPr9OzExu8UCLBUhtScRwxwCEmZLIGjewvlxdVhcvR6MAJxG_T5l1qUvYm2G4zw3U_GNUqYFHezgqEtnSpC3_EmkOd1ZiLZhrI1Yf3T8k/s1600/DSC_0069+-+Copy.JPG"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqAAHf6Hxsk039G1YFp-a7EwfcsrMwf-BLJ9g5WNAMSvQ61Wqd3lzbH9RM6apRWa4y2Ag7LByb8RIo33SaAaR9HIJRzmz-lEme8BkPnCeC5TdInJnINOdyo_cggKPwdrfuPKcTs-6ebl8/s1600/DSC_0189.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqAAHf6Hxsk039G1YFp-a7EwfcsrMwf-BLJ9g5WNAMSvQ61Wqd3lzbH9RM6apRWa4y2Ag7LByb8RIo33SaAaR9HIJRzmz-lEme8BkPnCeC5TdInJnINOdyo_cggKPwdrfuPKcTs-6ebl8/s320/DSC_0189.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563065818516754034" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZz8WDqwfwfffmhJ9FheYH-BVqwzIGKpqxIrQYsyojN97QTHq54SLsIClRbi1-jOL_46GrTvEU39ZMu5wx0eHFVbqbjlAHONQHJUN07IoOX_ukbWDIoLFlrtxT04xcsqUgjz46515YhI/s1600/DSC_0190.JPG"> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9zpI50CCZ4d1fhfnZGgWPr0i3tGvHRjuJel4vvsg925y455jtCp9e9MRNC1AzFuqBPP3AX0y_EwVTfa5FpMqouZBL3nV4bOCOl04_UOJmzez2KaU22TKzmk_LOgfn3rKSrwvRm8P4F4/s1600/DSC_0190.JPG"> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZz8WDqwfwfffmhJ9FheYH-BVqwzIGKpqxIrQYsyojN97QTHq54SLsIClRbi1-jOL_46GrTvEU39ZMu5wx0eHFVbqbjlAHONQHJUN07IoOX_ukbWDIoLFlrtxT04xcsqUgjz46515YhI/s1600/DSC_0190.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZz8WDqwfwfffmhJ9FheYH-BVqwzIGKpqxIrQYsyojN97QTHq54SLsIClRbi1-jOL_46GrTvEU39ZMu5wx0eHFVbqbjlAHONQHJUN07IoOX_ukbWDIoLFlrtxT04xcsqUgjz46515YhI/s320/DSC_0190.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563062389639660018" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw9zpI50CCZ4d1fhfnZGgWPr0i3tGvHRjuJel4vvsg925y455jtCp9e9MRNC1AzFuqBPP3AX0y_EwVTfa5FpMqouZBL3nV4bOCOl04_UOJmzez2KaU22TKzmk_LOgfn3rKSrwvRm8P4F4/s1600/DSC_0190.JPG"> </a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlzyUtMiBn5T2HoLYDCAYrN6n8Yn01BOuWBcf4w5yahgdE3I9PGZpVcrka3iCIq6v_84AEBiY9Zt-mIXxtGPreSnD4TS6vWAnJiR8PKReyslyeNT5g0NxfDClwvniGO1m703jJZoLyPk/s1600/DSC_0192.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 108px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlzyUtMiBn5T2HoLYDCAYrN6n8Yn01BOuWBcf4w5yahgdE3I9PGZpVcrka3iCIq6v_84AEBiY9Zt-mIXxtGPreSnD4TS6vWAnJiR8PKReyslyeNT5g0NxfDClwvniGO1m703jJZoLyPk/s320/DSC_0192.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563060264882174322" border="0" /></a><br />If you take a closer look you would find these trees producing rubber. Each of them has this container that collects the sap that is processed for rubber making.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBON4G1spvdbWDPVNMu4_Rz4-X2kdyFTiGWeZgL5Ari39EENOQgp388Av6RADSAEN-H9Q8KofoGZI3aOQp7kq0oRKs1Lx1R2JX5wcItP9uqga3vndCFJK1a6I-0xh09-X9k1VKFRGxwEY/s1600/DSC_0112+-+Copy.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 139px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBON4G1spvdbWDPVNMu4_Rz4-X2kdyFTiGWeZgL5Ari39EENOQgp388Av6RADSAEN-H9Q8KofoGZI3aOQp7kq0oRKs1Lx1R2JX5wcItP9uqga3vndCFJK1a6I-0xh09-X9k1VKFRGxwEY/s320/DSC_0112+-+Copy.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563063451454425394" border="0" /></a>Heading further up, you can see this Banana Plantation. The fruit are being wrap to protect against insect and perhaps other animals.. A lot of other fruit bearing trees can be found in the area. From " Marang", "Durian, Mangosteen. No wonder why the fruits are so cheap in the area.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7i7dCTpZlYsOubjvIDiuHVBZKUtBbGHD107CM2fLMnB19rG8KgXx42l2VC3_xXMKUiry8v5ag3GiTXNmnsKzLnPgbgK_zleMgLR8uDeH6BygQOOYHz4I09HPenQYtCR4HSJYRaB170nI/s1600/DSC_0171.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 116px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7i7dCTpZlYsOubjvIDiuHVBZKUtBbGHD107CM2fLMnB19rG8KgXx42l2VC3_xXMKUiry8v5ag3GiTXNmnsKzLnPgbgK_zleMgLR8uDeH6BygQOOYHz4I09HPenQYtCR4HSJYRaB170nI/s320/DSC_0171.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563068788154720738" border="0" /></a>You can also see this plants. You will never missed them since they are abundant along the road. I'm sorry I forgot the name but noticed the the tips that looks like a fiber? If you clean the house most likely you can picture out and guess what you can make out of it... Yes, brooms. People make brooms out of these plants.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXFfOFdsyJoiP7AsYM3aQIhI5B7seJC22YJeOHanLukuFX2CDBfPwED2Z6ChRFU-GUMDTsOuIwH39Lbb1Oau47ozxauf4f4VUQeCZi4NyunBMbmveGO6BagWnrIhKC8HQEoJU3p4fDVI4/s1600/DSC_0138.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 114px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXFfOFdsyJoiP7AsYM3aQIhI5B7seJC22YJeOHanLukuFX2CDBfPwED2Z6ChRFU-GUMDTsOuIwH39Lbb1Oau47ozxauf4f4VUQeCZi4NyunBMbmveGO6BagWnrIhKC8HQEoJU3p4fDVI4/s320/DSC_0138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563070016866339090" border="0" /></a>Finally we have arrived. What catch my attention are flowers in that were displayed in the site. People pick them up in the area and offer them for sale. From what I understand, they are very much abundant in the place. Well from flowers to fruits... this place has it all!<br /><br /><br /><br />I guess that's all for now... Watch out for my next point and shoot post... This time the Lake Agko from the inside...

Its Christmas time and I have decided to buy myself a gift. I have been longing to have this for myself but for the longest time, I never had the money to acquire it. But this Christmas, perhaps I could say that my dream has come true.... Yes, I bought myself a Nikon D90 Camera.<br /><br />My friend Chao, who is into photography helped me out in securing the unit. He was able to find a good deal online.<br /><br />I thought that using the camera is just as simple as point and shoot, but I was wrong. There are many things that you have to learn. Well, I guess, I still have the brains to learn it all... so why not.... From there I will take you along to different places, events and perhaps guide you along the way as I begin my journey into photography....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
