Something to do on a not-so-busy weekend–gardening!
That’s what my sister and my aunt did a few Saturdays ago.
The busy gardeners, seriously committed to create a nice work of art in this little corner in the yard.
All in place after hours of labor. Love the Zen-looking arrangement in the center!
The eager little helper (read: saling-pusa!).

Update:
They’ve got new plants yesterday. I think they’re planning to rearrange the little garden again.

If you want to spend some quiet moments, refresh your mind, feel close to nature and God, Caleruega is the perfect place to go; located in Brgy. Kaylayaw, Batulao, Nasugbu Batangas. As described in the flyer given to visitors at the gate, Caleruga is a house (place) of prayer and renewal. It is equipped with facilities for activities like retreats, recollections, prayer and renewal workshops, and other religious and environmental-related assemblies. But you can also go for a day’s visit. Like what I did last weekend. For 30 pesos entrance fee, you can enjoy the breathtaking views, clear your mind and find peace.
I’ve been planning that trip for a long, long time and been asking some of my friends to go with me. They’d say yes but we’d end up postponing the trip afterwards. I was awed when I saw the pictures in the Dominicans’ website. I was rendered speechless actually, my breath literally taken away for several seconds. I’m really glad that I was able to visit the place this time and was able to convince one of my college friends to go with me.
