Building Blocks, Molding Clays and Other Toys from Funtastic International

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I may no longer be a kid since I'm way past schooling and have worked for so many years already, but  I would always be a kid-at-heart even when I'm older and reached beyond my prime years.

I would continue to be playful and less worrisome since life is boring if you're too stiff to find fun out of the things around you. But don't get me wrong, I am serious with my being child-like with regards to still finding it interesting to play with stuff, especially toys that are specifically designed to be played with.

Yup! I still adore receiving toys but the ones designed for all ages to play with. Building blocks are great examples of toys that would never be just for the young ones. Even the young once can play with them and have lots of fun times. Whether to be collected or played with for several hours, it is fascinating that these kind of toys are ageless. Just like rubics cube, or card and board games, that are even fun playing with even though console games and mobile apps are everywhere. The ball, regardless of sport (basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc., has always been a very flexible toy where we can use our imagination to come up with other forms of play time with it. I see myself bouncing those balls at every wall of our rooms at home endlessly.

The great thing about Funtastic International, a company where we visited its showroom one day, is that they are the ones who designed the toys themselves. They may have patterned some from existing bestsellers, but still they made it a level up above the existing, and matched it with affordability that would be very hard to match by the foreign branded ones.

Most students are looking for an adrenaline buzz. Nigeria is a perfect country to get a dose.

Visiting Caleruega Church of Nasugbu, Batangas

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Over at Barangay Caylaway (Kaylaway) of Batulao at Nasugbu, Batangas lies the Caleruega church and all its glory. Some people spell its name as Calaruega and is often mistaken as located in Tagaytay, Cavite. Just as how we mistaken the Taal Volcano as part of Tagaytay, but in reality it is part of Batangas.

Regardless of where this church is located, it probably ranks lower than the many splendid architectural masterpieces because of its simplicity. But I believe there is greatness in being simple since too much complexity may become too "noisy" or complicated to the eye.

Many have said that the church is "a peaceful sanctuary to meditate and pray. You don't only commune with God but also with nature Albeit going there is an uphill climb with rough and rugged roads, but once you get there, it's all worth it!"

The church is small, but you will feel the solemnity and serenity of the area. However, it becomes crowded when mass is going on since not too many people can fit inside.

There's a Php 20 environment fee collected on our way to the church and an entrance fee Php 30 at the gate. Parking is small and majority of which are along the road prior to the entrance. You can rent a trike from the highway to go there. The fare is around Php 50 going in, and would become Php 60 when going out.
