It was last year when my father and I spent summer vacation at Bohol, Philippines. Philippine tarsier is one of the smallest animals also known as primates. During the day they sleep in the dark hollows close to the ground near the trunk of the trees and very active to look for food at night. They are carnivorous and love to eat live insects such as cockroaches, grasshoppers, spiders, crickets and occasionally with reptiles, birds and bats. They also eat live shrimp and fish in a bowl of water. In the Philippines you can found them in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol and some part in Mindanao.

The Philippine tarsier is almost Bohol’s trademark. Tarsier has thick and silky fur and mostly the color gray to dark brown. They have thin and nearly naked tail except for the tuft of hair at the end which is twice the body length. They have elongated ‘‘tarsus’’ or ankle bone which gives the tarsier its name that allows them to jump at least three meters from the tree to another tree without touching the ground. Mostly males are larger than females. They have unique and huge eyes which are listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest eyes on any mammal. They also have a sharp teeth and sharp claws.

Philippine tarsiers are arboreal. Usually they live in and around the base of the tree trunks and the roots of plants such as bamboo. Sometimes they can be found in the holes at the top of trees. The Philippine tarsier is nocturnal and they hunt at night exclusively for animals prey. During the day they hide in hollows close to the ground. The female will be the one who take care of the young not the male.

I really love this place Mergrande Ocean Resort located in Davao City. This is my mom and dad favorite hang out in Davao city. Sometimes we stay here for two days during summer vacation. It’s a very beautiful place to get relax and enjoy while swimming the most fabulous pool. I enjoyed so much here especially during night time. During my mom and dad wedding anniversary they stay here to celebrate.

Yes I agree that instant success is very rare. Every individual needs to work hard, strive more to reach our goal and get the apex of success. Through daily hard work, practice, persistence and being open to listening to your mentors, you will tackle most of life’s tough challenges. In blogging, you need to be smart, creative and constant practice is needed. According to my friend try and try until you succeed and don’t be afraid to try because you can see a good result after. So, that’s what I followed more practice for more success. I believe that life does not have to be perfect, sometimes you fail and it needs sacrifices. We can not avoid problems, duties and responsibilities it is a part of our life. It requires mental and emotional concentration. It needs focus then relax, smile and never fear. To make our life better, lovelier, and happier it all depends on us. But always remember to put GOD in the center of your LIFE.

Hi! Hello to my fellow blogger? How are you this morning? In behalf of me, I’m fine as usual. We have a nice weather today and we plan to go out today. Since, it is weekend the time for me to travel in the next city together with my father. This time we decided to use our motorcycle in going to the city. I asks my father to eat my favorite foods at jollibee. Wow! I can’t wait I’m so excited to order spaghetti, chicken joy, rice and many more. The picture above was taken last month when I was there. It’s so yummy and very delicious. A perfect lunch for me and my father and after eating we go shopping buy new stuff for me and of course roaming around in the city. That’s all for now and have a great weekend to everyone.

This globe picture was taken in front of Mall of Asia many years ago when my mother was here in the Philippines. As of now she is presently residing at Ontario Canada. It was during our family vacation and at the same time my mother’s interview at Canadian Embassy Manila. After the said interview we went shopping and I captured this picture in front of the Mall of Asia Manila together with my mother and father. As I remember we spent our Christmas and New Year at Quezon City Manila. We had fun, enjoy the place and stayed there for more than three weeks. It was one of our happiest moment in life. How I wish I could visit that place again. Maybe two years from now when my mom will visit us here and I’ll be there for short vacation.

Every weekend Jollibee is our favorite place to eat. I do not know but I really love Jollibee. It is one of the biggest fast food chains in the Philippines. Everyone loves their foods so delicious and affordable. For me spaghetti, chicken joy, hamburger and French fries are the best. My father and I usually spend our weekend at the city just to eat and after that go shopping.

Every year our family spend summer vacation at my auntie’s residence. They live in Digos City five hours travel from our place. Even though it’s far but I love to spend time with my cousins and meet new friends there. Like me they are also male so we have same hobbies and games to play with. The location is near the beach that’s why I love to be there every summer. I can refresh, relax my mind and enjoy swimming with new friends and cousins. Last year we rent a van when we had family reunion and at the same time spent summer vacation for two weeks.

My auntie lynlyn, uncle Bong, cousins Yari, Kaila and Adi were there also. That time they live from another city and traveled one day to reach the venue. It was a nice reunion all my cousins were there and we played together. Our first adventure happened at Aplaya beach Resort. We brought roast pig “we called it lechon baboy in our dialect”, sinugbang isda, kinilaw, spaghetti, ice cream, cake, fruits such as watermelon, mango, lanzones, durian and other Filipino delicacies.

On the next day we went to Sun Valley Swimming Pool an inland resort at Digos City. We stayed overnight on the said resort. The most exciting activities was the time that we went shopping. I bought a pair of shoes, t-shirts, pants, notebooks, pen, new bag for the next school year and many more.

Sports is a competitive field of discipline that requires not only agility but a determination to win. To win a game does require strength, skill, speed, endurance, and stamina. I’m glad that region eleven won a lot of golds, silver and bronze and qualified for the next level the Olympic games.

Every year my father will join and participate Palarong Pambansa not as a player but one of the officials on the said event.
