i travel sketch live

this is the house we stayed at in libona, bukidnon for the wedding, fronting the house is an open field, it must be amazing there on a starry night, it was rainy that weekend.

villa violeta was the reception area for the wedding, the food was good and the place was good, they also have room accommodations for guests staying overnight. the owners of villa violeta gave the couple a pair of  pillow cases with the 'villa violeta' embroidery as a gift.  a small sculpture wooden benches and table under two pine trees

the chapel is in the middle of the woods. although it is quiet there, it is situated inside the del monte plantation so you get the occasional tractor passing through. there used to be a housing community in that area but it was moved, the church however was not demolished, probably because many couples want to get married there for its romantic and solemn location.

last week's long weekend gave me the opportunity to attend my friends' wedding and took a side trip to the adventure park the day after considering it is just 30 mins away from the newly wed's house. the area gave as a great view of the mountains as well as the coast. while waiting for the rides to open, around 730am looking down at the pine tree-covered hill we did all three zip lines (650 pesos) and i liked the one where i was zipping fast past the pine trees. the dahilayan adventure park is around 2 hours from cagayan de oro city and you can either get there by rented van or taxi. you can also take the habal habal from alae highway to the park for 200 pesos per head

Last week we went to Salaysay Elementary school to give out school supplies for all the students under the Pens of hope in Davao project, the hill is about a kilometer (considering terrain) away from the school. It is around 2 hours from Davao City.

hiyorhiyoran a view from hiyorhiyoran  approaching hiyorhiyoran islet boslon there are many more islands in that area when we went there and did not sketch them all, surely we will be back there for more swimming, snorkeling and less picture taking the next time. for more information in getting there, see my tinuy-an falls post.
