Wharf to Sumilon Island

Image
Two weekends ago we went to Sumilon Island. Arrived there 630 am and with the sun just risen, everything there looked golden.

The black blob in the background is sumilon island.

Immaculate Heart of Mary parish

Image
I sketched this on May 10, 2010 in Minglanilla. Their mini plaza just infront of this church is usually a crowded place but that day there was only me and kikit walking around, most of the town people were out voting for their presidential bet. The church is very symmetrical and and there is still more to sketch on its side but had no room in my notebook left for it. The church must look big from the inside. Location: Minglanilla town proper, Cebu Get there by taking the KMK bus from SM City.

Family Park trees

Image
This tree is sketched at Family park a long time ago before they cut it down and had it replaced with a dumb installation 'art' that did not really look good. But i guess the park still is a great place to be at during weekends, or when the stars are out at night. I used to go there often when i was still renting near the place. Family Park's location: Talamban, Cebu City Get there by taking the jeep number 13c from ayala center. fare is 8 pesos.

They have a regular song writer's night every Wednesday and has regular live band performances. Location: Lahug, Cebu City Get there by: -taking the Jeepneys 04C, 17B, 17C from downtown to JY Square and walking 6mins to Outpost. -taking the jeepneys (04H) from downtown area.

Pinamungahan Sketches

Image
I was in Pinamungahan with the volunteers of Tsinelas and Cebu Bloggers Society two weekends ago to assist in the Computer Literacy Program given to the highschool students of Lut-od national highschool. Located South of Cebu about 2.5 hours from the city. The two trees below are found at the back of the school buildings in Lut-od. Insoy said it used to be a botanical garden that was well maintained, but that was decades ago. I'm sure it would look great if somebody would do it up again, but i also like the old dirty feel of the place. I sketched the scene on the other side of the brook that passed the garden. This other tree is also by the brook, but on the other side of the school. I was taking a walk around the school and noticed it, kind of like the line in the song Stairway to heaven, after the realization, I knew what to do next :) The panoramic view below is what you see when you look out from the chapel at Hidden Valley resort , located at Brgy Lamac, when ...
