Five Minutes Ride


It was really a roller coaster five minutes ride over a boat with my colleagues in Project Monitoring Team of European Commission - Habitat for Humanity Phils. at Lake Sebu during our Project Planning and assessment. A fun time to be toured around the big and beautiful Lake.

My Beautiful Buddies!!?

One of my unforgettable travel with my job as an NGO employee. This was at Midsayap...Thanks to a friend and a Bonsai colleague Engr. Julius Cadava!, a very hospitable person who accommodated me in his place... i don't know how to describe his place but one thing i should truly say: SUPER!!! GRABE!!!

The place is a showcase of NATURE! It was developed to be a resort...it might probably called as RIVER SIDE NATURE PARK!, that was the plans of Engr. Cadava.

If I will be back again in Midsayap, surely i will not forget to visit the place...the ambiance is so cool... so relaxing and whats more...i should say words are not enough to describe!!!

My Driftwood Style Molave


This is one among my selected collections of Bonsai materials in my garden... I've been training this for the past three years...fortunately maybe in the next coming years i will try to compete this with some local Bonsai Exhibitions in town...

My Bonsai Garden

This is my bonsai garden... after my busy schedules, i always see to it to refresh myself in my garden. I feel so relaxed when i got to see my plants developing in accordance to what i want them to be!!!
After some bonding time with my family, the next things i always do is also bond with my beautiful bonsais!!!

A place we call "HEAVEN"


This was an exuberant experience with my collegues (Kuya Tots Bonete- HBRC Site Manager, Engr. Julius Uy- PMT Technical, and Ate Bai Khan - PMT PDF) during our PDC dry run of survey for the Poverty Database Monitoring System in partnership with BLDF (Bohol Local Development Foundation).
As you would see in the picture, the place showcased the beauty of Nature. A very conducive place to relax and discern!
Yet with the beauty of nature hides a sad reality that we have this very poor brothers/sisters who seek for our assistance...in this place we could see and realize the most simple among the simplest way of living...
By the way, the PDMS will be utilized in this place to track the poverty status of the lumads in this place and likewise to detect what are the top necessities of the community of this place we fondly called "HEAVEN"

1ST MINDANAO WIDE BONSAI COMPETITION

Just recently, my bonsai club Fukal Kayo Bonsai Society Inc. hosted the 1st Mindanaowide Bonsai Show... We have our guest and judges as well the renowned international bonsai artists David Du and Chai I Chin. The 5 days event was so successful.
It was really a fulfilling experience for me...as a bonsai enthusiast. This was the biggest event so far where i participated and compete one of my bonsai collections...
The experience is really far different with that of some local bonsai competitions that i participated...hopefully, with the teachings of my mentors David Du and Chai I Chin, i will also compete with the national level at manila in the next coming years...as of now, I'm still on the process of rehabilitating some of my most selected collections...
