a Baguio retreat

i found this retreat in Baguio, which is just off the Marcos Highway.
this retreat  is the Maryknoll Sisters's place.  it is very beautiful.  i dont know if they allow people (non-sisters i mean ) to stay here, but it is a wonderful place to meditate.  Ask

Sister Catherine O. Encarnacion is a first cousin on my Dad's site.  She showed us this beautiful place.
Right beside this place is the Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary where they hold seminars, have group stay weekends and overnights.  

they also have a small store where i bought cards, candles, and a tv-shirt.

Manila Sunset


One of my favorite spots in Manila is the view - the sunset by Roxas Blvd.

To my mind, it is one of the most romantic spots in Manila.
One can go there, sit by the bay, and indulge in one of the most exotic things - set the mind free and imagine.

i found a  picture - and it was one of the art i wanted to purchase at the Arts n Friends Show III but my friend Babie got it first.  Here she is with the picture. Babie Andres is the sister of Cora A. Bisda
