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....

During our training, I had the chance to take some pictures of flowers within the area. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to post them here considering that Valentines day has just been celebrated...

Heading for Davao

We headed for Davao after our 6 day stay in Cagayan De Oro City. 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...


Pine trees are abundant in Bukidnon. Perhaps its because the place is cool. There are also lots of rivers and small creeks along the way, which perhaps gives you a very refreshing feeling...



Farms are also very common in the place. There was even this area where I saw a lot of horses. Sad to note, I hardly had time to take a pic since the bus was running fast and my position did not give me a chance to take such picture. What I got however was this...



Well most importantly, Bukidnon is known also for its Pineapple. Yes, Del Monte Pineapple is here in Bukidnon. So do not wonder why you see a lot of these in the area..



Well see you around folks... till the next post.....

Cagayan Port Sunrise and more!


This picture was taken on the boat upon arrival in Cagayan De Oro City. It was arround 5:30 in the morning as the boat was on docking maneuver in the port of Cagayan.... I had the chance to take a picture of the sunrise....

Well, we are back in Mindanao once again and I hope to take more pictures as I go through with our journey. Perhaps you might want to have a glimpse of our accommodation? We stayed in Deluxe Hotel during our stay in the city. The picture above is the room we have taken, twin bed standard.


The reception if also great. 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....
