Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Rock Art- Another Activity Here at THD

Yesterday, THD hosted another activity that I have not participated before( see brochure above). To my surprise, I enjoyed the 30 minutes of creative activity. I was able to paint 4 small rocks. It took another 20 minutes to dry.  On the other hand the experienced rock artists in our group spent at least one hour for one rock, but of course the result of their creation is more refined and detailed than mine. I have no patience in details, so rock art is not for me, I will stick to my daily blogs, bridge and mahjong if I get bored during the week.    

I took some photos of the art work of my fellow senior residents. A couple of residents were former art teachers but a few of us were newbies. 

I took some photos during the event. Afterwards I took home my 4 rock creations and placed them in my rock garden. They do not look too bad, but compared to the creations of the semi-pro art teachers, my creation look like the work of a 5-year old kid, However, I felt accomplished and should get a "shout-out" for just trying. 

Here are some of the photos I took during and after this activity.  

My 3 Creations In 30 Minutes- Ugly but colorful  




The rock art creation of a former art teacher- one hour of patient work. She was trying to copy the design in the napkin to her rock.   

Some of the Residents have art in their cell phone to copy~
