A Children's Park at Bayan

2007-03-03T08:22:00.000+08:00

I went to Bayan recently to go swimming at Immaculada and then walked around. I didn't realize they have a children's park already named in honor of Jose Rizal's brother, Paciano Rizal. This lies in between the municipal hall and Crystal Springs resort.

There's a big field overlooking Laguna de Bay where children can run around. Great for watching sunsets, don't you think?

Swings, slides and see-saw (is this the proper way of calling the game?) are also available for children to enjoy.

Everyone is welcome to play here, and for the young once, there is the pool at the back where you can dip your feet in hot spring water and relax. You can get a massage too!

Math tutorials

Saw this posted on a bulletin board during finals week.

Reminds me of the many times I have to go for tutorial with the COSS people.

Noon sa tambayan lang ang tutorials, ngayon sa McDo na!

Guess where this is?

Yup, this is the COOP canteen. Still looks the same after all these years. Even the dishes are familiar.

I still go back to this place for a bowl of steaming arroz caldo in the mornings.

A simple homecoming

Makiling's many moods

2006-10-20T21:00:00.000+08:00

I am not a serious photographer. But I can't help myself in taking pictures of Mt Makiling in her many moods. Sometimes, you see her in full glory. At other times, not even hint that she is there. See for yourselves.

Where is she?

Feb Fair preparation

I was browsing my photographs and noticed this one. This was taken last February, as students started preparing for yet another night at the fair.

Fishing at IRRI...

2006-10-12T15:42:00.000+08:00

One of my favorite things at IRRI (aside from the library and the coffee), is playing with the fishes in the pond in front of the IRRI cafeteria (it's now called Pila Delights, previously Riceland). The fishes are really wily, they know if a person approaches the pond, and makes a beeline towards him thinking he'd be bringing bread as feeds. They swim so fast towards the source of food. I pity the turtles present. No matter how many times I tried to throw some bread the turtles' way, naagawan pa rin ng mga isda. I've spend countless hours feeding the fishes, it is just so relaxing.
