Family goes to GAP Farm

I was having fun with answering quizzes on blogthings last Friday. It’s interesting to search deeply into my own self and ask if these are really true. The results were sometimes similar or never far from truth.

Anyway, yesterday, we left the house and went to GAP farm at Diversion road, Maa. I was able to persuade hubby considering last week, I wasn’t such in a happy condition due to my bad fall. At least now, I am well and have learned the lesson.

We arrived at Gap Farm at 10am, sky was perfectly clear and sun was too hot. I wonder why I couldn't feel cold air even if we're on top of the mountain and surrounded by lot of trees.

This is what you'll see in the entrance of the farm via Diversion road;
A large statue of a carabao and farmer. We paid 20 pesos each for the entrance fee except for Abby.

We haven't been to this place since 1995 so I thought there are now many developments in the farm. But the only changes I detected were the abundance of trees. Looks like the place isn't regularly maintained.

We settled on this place to eat our lunch. (Abby, Justin & Dan)
We are surrounded by trees and empty tables
and below this is a CAVE.

By the time we were entering the cave,
a lot of people were flocking to the farm.

I just couldn't understand why there are so many weird statues here.
(May engkanto, kapre, tikbalang, aswang, manananggal, putol na kamay (ngek!)
Mga convention ng mga well-known ghosts sa Philippine folklore.

If you look down from this area, there's bold cemented carvings of the words,
"The Land of Promise" na naka-embed sa mountain. Why?

Hindi ho sila mga engkanto,
mahilig lang talaga silang mag-make face...

After the cave, we went around more and found, "The Bridge of Reconciliation" na habang papalapit kami ni hubby ay sabi niya, "Lumayo tayo diyan" hakhakhak! We found more statues of natives of the Philippines. They also have a swimming pool, mini zoo (estatwa din mga hayop dun) and a restaurant pero mineral water lang ang type kong bilihin.

I don't expect to see more of this farm kasi parang di na siya attractive puntahan. You bet, ganda pa mall, gastos nga lang. The most important thing that just happened was the family bonded and kids were happy so all is well.
