A Night at the Mactan Shrine

MACTAN SHRINE

I have traveled to different places and have posted pictures I have taken here in this blog of mine. Yet I have not posted anything about my place. Just today, I went to the Mactan Shrine and had the chance to take some pictures of the place.

The Mactan Shrine is such a historical Place. This according to history, was the place where Lapu-lapu and Magellan happened.

The Picture above shows Lapu-lapu at the far end overlooking the sea, watching as if Magellan will ever come again. During the battle, Magellan was killed. The event happened sometime on the year 1521. Well, that was long ago, the place right now is a very beautiful site to view and stroll around. It has become a tourist attraction.




As I sit down and let the time pass by, I could not help but take another shot, as I see the moon on top of the shrine. I could have taken a better view, but the gates were locked. From what I understand, it has always been locked to prevent people from climbing up for safety reasons... Well, I will just have to be satisfied with the pictures above....




One more thing, if you get tired walking, there are a lot of Sutukil restaurants very near the shrine. It has also become a haven for people who want to eat seafoods at its best... Check it out when you visit Mactan, Lapu-lapu City.

A Butterfly on my finger....

THE BUTTERFLY ON MY FINGER

I had the chance of visiting the crocodile farm in Davao City, if you are familiar with the place, you certainly know that it also has a butterfly garden... Above is a picture that I have taken in the butterfly garden... Quite ironic, visiting the crocodile farm and taking pictures of a butterfly, but i think its rather easy to have a butterfly on the finger than having a picture of a finger bitten by a crocodile... don't you think so." Till my next post.. be safe always and keep taking those pics...

It has been a while since I have not updated this blog. I have been very busy lately and was not able to take some pictures worth posting. I brought a friend of mine to dive in Mactan, I to wanted to dive but simply cannot do so since I have to fly for a scheduled training the following day..... Well, It was still a time well spent just staring at the sea and the sky.... I was able to take some pictures....




There is nothing really special about the pictures but for me, the sky and the sea is really a beautiful site to watch. Its like a painting always in the making...



God is indeed a great artist....


I hope to be able to take more pictures and publish it here on my blog... I also wish to learn more about photography so I can deliver wonderful pictures for all to see... See yah guys!

The Place Called Eden once Again

Its a bird! Its a plane? Nope, that's my buddy Leo, enjoying the moment. It seems that the place will bring back the youth in everyone.


We took some snacks prior to our tour and along with us is our host Dr. Abejo and Mam Sonia who was kind enough to accompany us from Kidapawan all the way to Eden.




I was also able to see the foods that were displayed in their buffet. There were plenty of choices and from what I heard, the vegetables, herbs and spices served and used are grown in Eden, all organic. Unfortunately, when I took the picture, it was time for lunch and many people were around the table. Rest assured however that there are plenty of choices and the foods are great tasting....




Should you wish to stay in the area, rooms are also available for accommodation. I was able to take a picture on some of their cottages by the trees...



I wonder how it feels like to stay in the cottages. The place is very cool even when its around 12 noon. It will most likely be very cold and relaxing. An added plus is the view of Davao..... The picture below is glimpse of what you see just outside the cottage.




Well, I think this is long enough... well just have to post the rest of the pictures on my next publishing... Best always!

The Place Called EDEN in Davao

Well, after our Kidapawan experience, we proceeded to Davao City for our flight back to Cebu. But prior to the airport, our host decided to drop by in the place called EDEN.....

I was wondering why its called EDEN.. check the pictures and you will surely know the reason why...





The area actually is a mountain resort and from what I understand, is 90 percent man made. We were directed to the reception area to book ourselves a day tour. The tour comes with snacks or even lunch depending on what you avail.



Shortly after our arrival, we paid for a standard tour with snacks and while waiting for our schedule went to the souvenir shop.







I had fun taking pictures during the area. As you may know, I am a nature lover and scenes like these is heaven fro me....





So our tour started and it took around 45 minutes. The resort had this vehicle which will bring you to the different areas for the tour. Watch for it on my next post.

Fire Your Heart Out!

Just before leaving Kidapawan, We had the chance to try out a new experience...





Not to be outdone... my buddy Leo also fired some rounds....



What do you think? Do we have a chance on shooting competitions?



Well guys that's all for now.. We have to leave and head for Davao to catch our flight to Cebu...

Kidapawan the Second Time Around

Once again, we traveled back to Kidapawan for another round of training. Prior to reaching the City, we did a stop over on one of their nature resort. Ahh, another relaxing experience. Even the view gives you a cooling and soothing feeling right away! See the pictures below and see for yourself....
