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.

This is a selection of wall and floor ceramic tiles products from Eurotiles, Philippines that are samples on display for sale in the SMA Lumber & Construction Supply shop in Lanao, a barangay of Kidapawan. I’m so glad that we were able to visit the shop as I was interested in looking for some tiles for a small project at home. Whilst there we took some pictures to be able to look at them at home and to post them here so more people would know about this great shop. If you fancy some of these beautiful designs, you can always pick up the phone and ask for information. The shop is located in Lanao, Kidapawan City. Their telephone number is 278-3450.

This picture will be familiar to many visitors who have been to Baguio before, as this is one of the most popular destinations in the city. I think that The Mansion has a lot of character. It has had an interesting history since it was built during the American colonial time. The whole building looks very interesting from the outside. It’s beautiful.

It seem like that this Elf, one of the features around the park in Saguing, near Kidapawan, is having a good time. I hope that the park attracts more visitors everyday. More visitors means more money will be collected, which can be used for making improvements in the park.

This family-owned furniture shop in Kidapawan has been in business for many many years. It continues to grow bigger and bigger with its good quality products from germilina wood, a type of hardwood in the Philippines, which is a very popular wood that many craftsmen are using to make furniture.

Some examples of the handmade cupboards are shown here below. The prices start at P6,500. Do you think it’s expensive? I think it’s pretty reasonably priced and nicely done.

Delima Subdivision

Just outside Kidapawan City centre, lies this area of land for sale, which is probably a good long term investment for property development. I think that this place is really nice as it’s not very close to the main road. Building a house here would be superb as the scenery looks excellent as well. I would be very happy if I had the chance to live in the countryside like this, where it’s peaceful and quiet.

The park and garden popular to locals between Kidapawan and Saguing, has been beautifully landscaped, including added features like a rock painting that makes it look like there is a crocodile inside it. It’s popular with visitors, especially the children, as they think it’s quite amusing.

Decorative Street Lights

The City of Kidapawan is looking good, apart from the exposed electric cables above. The streets in many areas have been improved. Like here, you can see that the pavement is stylish; it looks like cobblestones. There are also large plant pots along the main roads which I think are beautiful. This is what happens when everybody who is working pays tax. The money that is being paid is very useful for making improvements like putting up these decorative street lights as well.
