Ready for Europe!:)

As many of you may know I'll be going on a vacation tom.:)

I want to share the things that i bought especially for this trip.

1. Luggage
-Samsonite
-B-lite
-Pinkish
-3.8kg
-Large

 

This is my new luggage it's very light for a large. The downside is there is a possibility that you may pack a little too much and exceed your baggage weight limit.

2. Comfortable shoes

-Keds

-Jeans color

Since many of you may know, I don't wear rubber shoes and i hate wearing closed shoes but when i saw these shoes i fell in love with it and its really comfortable.  

3. Sketchpad and color pencils

While waiting for our connection flight i can draw some of the designs that i thought of.:) and Europe has a very beautiful architecture that could serve as my inspiration.<3

Here are my first few drawings in my new sketch pad!

 

*all the photos are captured using my new ipad!

Few more hours and i'll be in Rome! Chao!

Trip to Antipolo

This weekend my friends and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary since our trip to Taiwan where we 1st get to know each other.
They decided to have the annual outing at Antipolo, we visited the famous church where motorist have there car's blessed.
We also visited Pacem eco-park.
There are different kinds of animals and plants. There is also a mini shell and butterfly museum.

Caterpilar before it blooms to a beautiful butterfly

Tip: Before entering the eco park you have to put on off lotion or wear pants so that you wouldn't get bitten by mosquitos and ants.

We had lunch at the Crescent moon cafe, you need a reservation (though i don't see the point since there's almost no one eating at the restaurant). But don't get me wrong, the food is delicious especially the pumpkin soup with coconut meat.

We stayed at mmldc the room is pretty big, i think there are 12 beds in the room that we stayed and the bathroom is pretty big, 4 showers and 4 toilet seats.

Of course we have to dine at the famous padi's point over looking the whole city of antipolo(if i'm not mistaken). Though the service is pretty bad(we have to wait for a long to before our food arrives)


The next day we visited the falls ( Hinulugang taktak)

 

Look at how black tha water is and there are trash everywhere

It's been a weekend spent with nature and I have to say the Philippines is really an amazing place full of beautiful tourist spots but we somehow manage to turn this beautiful places into a dirty and stinky place. We must learn to preserve the natural beauty that our country have.

Playing with colors

Yesterday, we are taught how to use watercolor to put life into our sketches. We use Prang professional watercolor that is around 300php

It has 16 different colors.

We also have 3 extra brushes, i bought Berkley 6, 2 and 0. You'll be shocked that there are brushes that cost around 200php a piece.

This is what i made.

And this is what my prof (John Herrera) made. Look at the difference!!

Tip: The flesh color is achieve by mixing yellow orange with white and the right amount of water.

Clearly I still got a long way to go before perfecting this craft. Jia yo!

Trip to Pulo Pagbilao

This Good Friday, my family and I spend the day in Pulo, Pagbilao.

You can go there by land or boat, we opt to go there by a boat. We contacted a boatman that would take us there and back plus the island hoping and it cost us around 2,500. The boat that we rented can hold up to 15 pax.

From Silangang Nayon up to Pulo took us almost 1 hour. We stop by this place where if it's really low tide a stretch of white sand would appear (sorry forgot the name of the place:) ). 

'Coz it's good friday, there are many people in Pulo, some stayed overnight and others are on a day trip. You'll have to pay an entrance fee of 50 php per head and the cottage cost 350 php. 

Tip: The care taker of the place said that the best time to visit the place is on a weekday.

It's really a beautiful place, the only downside is there is no water. Though scarce in supply they still manage to obtain limited supply from the other neighboring city, water would cost 30 php per pail.

These are the places we visited during our island hoping.:)

Mag-asawang Bato

Borawan

We were suppose to go here but there are too many people in the island. It's called borawan 'coz it got the fine white sand of Boracay and the amazing rock formations of Palawan. This place is located in Padre Burgos already, by land it would take you an hour or two.

Dampalitan

With this trip, I was reminded of how beautiful my hometown and our country is. 

Truly, it's more fun in the Philippines.:)

Cook like a chef with these!

When I was little, I used to have a little kitchen that I would use to cook food for my doll.:) Wouldn't it be nice if you would really cook and prepare your mini food? 

Earlier, I was visiting my cousin and she showed my some videos on Youtube that I would like to share to all of you. It's a video that a Japanese has made while apparantly "cooking" from a mini kitchen.

Curry and Rice!

Spaghetti

Hamburger Steak

He has this minature kitchen collection!

You can checkout more of his videos at Youtube. Happy April Fools day everyone!:)

Apparantly it's not too late to play with toys especially those that are as amazing as this! :)
