it was a sunny day when we reached the island buenavista, stepping into the strips of white sand on a coast along with the beautiful ocean view.
a light wind blows that made trees bow and greet. it was a wonderful feelings.
the area is almost 4 hectares. a two hours walk is enough to explore the whole island. on the east coast, bunches of broken logs and wood found washed ashore filed one behind the others. it was a great job.
working with seven local workers, two chainsaw and one small tractor in a range span of three months., driftwood transformed dramatically into artworks, furnitures and functional pieces for the cottages and for other facilities.
after a long hardworks, beauties from all over the world arrived into the island for asia-pacific beauty pageant pictorials., and on that stranged moment, I felt worthier...

My first job? Mural paintings of fruits that can be found around Davao. After one week working at the old cafeteria, Done. Finished.
Time for me to explore the place, meet people and understanding their cultures. The more I stay, the more I fascinates.
The stories that I've heard in Luzon were barely much different from what I'd experienced here in Mindanao. People are humble and polite.
And I've seen no problem at all.
Lesson no.1 -learn how to speak and understand their language.
2nd job? To build a driftwood plaza at the buenavista island..a small island at the Davao Gulf..

Morning..old Davao airport. I felt I was in a foreign land, most of the people around me spoke different languages, which I did'nt understand.
The smell, the breeze, the land and the people.
Everything's new to me., and I said to myself., "It's a brand new day."
After meeting with Bet-bet at the airport, we travel for a couple of hours to reached Eden, Bayabas, Toril, where Eden Nature Park located.
3,000ft above sea level, cool weather, mossy ground and they have a bigger trees...
Nice place...

Living with Nature..

just the way it's started

I've been wondering what's life is all about?
I feel the strangers inside... some are weak, some are strong.. they talks different languages,. without any discriminations... without any hesitations.. but full of communicative creative way of understanding.. fun, enjoyable, and edible..

hmm.. edible? easy to digest.
I travel from island to island for almost a decade, until I found a place for my work, art.
here in the Philippines, we have 7001 islands,( takes 20yrs to explore the whole regions)70 dialects.(most spoken language are tagalog and bisaya).
most of the islands here are tourist's destination, food are more affordable, you can find store from every corner of the street, where you can buy beer for only half a dollar and cigarette for 1 peso per stick. cool ha!
