manolo fortich, bukidnon, mindanao, philippines, one of the best places to go mountain biking

Image
someday i will freewheel down this slope and see how long before i kiss the red soil on the ground. hehehe i like to go biking on the countryside, that is why i am going to go back to bukidnon someday, live there for a couple of months maybe and go biking. also i think dahilayan adventure park would be a cool place to work in. just over the trees, is a cold spring which used to be a quary, i missed dipping in it when i was there outside of jp nalla's house a view from the inside of villa violeta, the road outside goes straight to dahilayan adventure park we all have to get mud and rain to completely enjoy the offroad biking experience this road leads to the chapel in the woods not sure if you can bike across a mountain to that house over there some of the stops going to dahilayan adventure park you can roam around dahilayan adventure park without paying for entrance, you only pay for the rides inside dahilayan adventure park ...

talisay tree at paradise resort, samal island

Image
Last sunday was my second time in Samal Island. the Paradise resort is very family friendly and clean. the water is clean and clear, you can go into the water and feed the fishes with breadcrumbs as we saw a man doing it when we disembarked from the pumpboat. it is not, i repeat it is not the place you would like to go with your friends to party because drinks cost alot, the Tanduay junior lapad costs 175 pesos and there are corkage fees when you bring food and drinks into the resort. there are no big trees in the location, although there are many talisay trees to  shade people. i would have drawn more but we had fun drinking instead. this is actually my 'tipsy' sketch hehehe from ateneo de davao, you can take a jeepney to the paradise warf for 9 pesos. the pumpboat ride costs 15 pesos and the resort entrance fee is 150 pesos, 50 pesos is consumable.

pines trees at camp john hay, baguio city

Image
camp john hay is a big place which has restaurants, hotels, golf courses, museum, an  amphitheater surrounded by flowers, butterfly garden and an adventure area. we were there only for a short time, we had lunch there, walked among the pine trees which i am sure, are older than i am. we also went inside the museum which creeped me out a bit because during that time there were no people around and i got goosebumps walking alone through a narrow corridor. i think there was also a mini cemetery. we got there by taking a taxi from the heart of baguio city, we paid less than 200 and that was in the summer of 2010.
