Panglao Island Nature Resort.

Monday, August 9th, 2010

A very good friend of mine really likes travelling; visiting popular tourist destination like the Panglao Island Nature Resort of Bohol. Here are some of her pictures of the varying sceneries; a beautifully landscaped park and garden close to the sea.

I'm so grateful to have all these photos that I can publish on my blog. I  all the views especially the swimming pool as it can be very warm in the summer.

        

Calinan Rice Field

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

This view of some  farmland in Calinan, Davao, is just incredibly beautiful :). Do you like being in the countryside?

Some people dream of settling down in the middle of nowhere for a change to a laid back lifestyle. It can be interesting.

 

Imelda Marcos

I have just seen this video  of Imelda Marcos. Many years ago, it was, and still is, a controversial issue for many people around the world especially the Philippines. It's unthinkable now

St. Mary’s Academy

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Does this picture look familiar to you? I guess not. This modern entrance arch is now the new face of St. Mary's Academy of Kidapawan, formerly Notre Dame of Kidapawan for Girls. I also have loads of photos inside the school grounds including the new classrooms and the gym.

Students who studied here a long time ago would be really amazed to see how their old school has improved. This is so different compared to the old building; which appears to have been knocked down:(.  The design of the new fence of the entrance and the gate is beautiful. I   this place.

Tabili – Philippine Gliding Lizard

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Have you seen this sort of lizard before? My brother found this beautiful young animal near home. I heard that when this gliding lizard gets older; wing-like flaps of skin will start to grow from its abdomen. It's so peculiar:D

This might be a Draco Volans; a Philippine flying dragon but I'm not sure as I cannot find a picture that exactly matches it. :( The mixture of colours of its skin is fascinating.

Sagbayan Peak

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

This beautiful view of Sagbayan Peak is one of the attractions of Sagbayan town in the Visayas region of Bohol. One of the amazing features you can see on these photos is the background of the Chocolate Hills, which was taken from Sagbayan;  a neighbouring town of Carmen; the main location of the Chocolate Hills. 

Within the park there's an outdoor area provided; a children's playrgound; it's not visible though :( It's overlooking the natural and attractive scenery. It's astonishing.

I'm so glad :) that my good friend Arne has given me the permission to publish this photographs on my blog. I'm so pleased


Steaming Lake Agko

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

The resort that the locals and tourists are talking about is the steaming Lake Agko on Mt. Apo near Kidapawan. I haven't been there but I was so glad that I managed to get loads of photographs from a very good friend of mine, Ana Arne Galbo.

It's always nice to know that from Kidapawan you could actually travel from there easily to see this popular local destination. The views and various features of these attractions are beautifully landscaped; which means that it's likely that we will have more visitors coming in now and in the future to come. I think that this place is gorgeous:)

 

Milô In Manongol

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I don’t know what this gorgeous animal is called in English. In Cebuano, we call it Milô. They live in the jungle in Mindanao. I think he’s really cute.

Forest Along The River

Friday, July 10th, 2009

There is a a large area of beautiful forest along the Saguing river, near Kidapawan. The ground is covered with trees and other plants. The park, which is popular with the locals, is very close to the Kidapawan landmark; a great feature to the city. I think that these views look marvellous.

Aren’t They Adorable?

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Not long ago, these puppies were born at home. It didn’t take long before they were snapped up by friends, neighbours and relatives. I think that they look really sweet.
