Kalesa Ride

Hot hot hot, whew.. what else is new? Its summertime in the Philippines! Time for vacation and the kids are all out of school. In this corner its the MYL's kids activities, photos and videos. Yza, Ykhee, and Ykho are off to their adventures. :-)

First off, Ykho's first time riding a kalesa on the street of downtown Manila within Chinatown. Together with her older sister Yza the two went off and took a ride from Binondo's Church up to the ManuLife Building office in Dasmarinas Street. The video taken with a Mobile phone camera.

Ykho: "Ayun, kabayo! Sakay tayo dun... kabayo!" (Overthere.. a horse! Lets take a ride! Horse!)




When it was over we went down the Kalesa and took some shots besides the horse. Ykho really had fun riding. :-)

A kalesa, sometimes called a karitela, is a horse-driven carriage used in the Philippines. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish Conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning "wheels."



Next stuff.... To be continued.. :-)

Glowing Hands

It was last March 2, 2007 in the afternoon when my nieces who are youth members of The Toclong Baptist Church in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines performed together with the other youth members a mime show "Silent Praise". Using only their hands and a pair of white gloves they had interpreted two songs titled Love In Any Language locally performed by Gary Valenciano and Lord I Offer Myself To You.

The video taken by my sister that afternoon. The show was good considering that they are all amateurs and with limited props at that. Was not fortunate enough to watch the live performance but just the same I enjoyed and liked the video that was recorded.

Watch the hands hands as they glow and dance to the rythm and tune of the songs while interpreting at the same time.

Here it is. Enjoy watching and God blessed you all!

Watch out for more of my post! :-)
