All About Goat Raising
Aside from swine, poultry and cattle, goats are also considered a chief livestock in the agriculturally dependent nation of the Philippines. Goats are raised mainly for their meat and milk. Filipino dishes such as kaldereta and kare-kare employ goat’s meat as a main ingredient.
Lately, I got to observe a goat pen owned by a certain Cebuano family man. He’s not really a farmer by profession but does raise some goats as sideline business. This is how it looks like.

Goat Pen
His goat pen is basically made of indigenous and recyclable materials like bamboo, coconut wood and used tin roofing. Albeit being simple and small, it in fact serves its purpose (big time) as it houses around 10 goats of various sizes. The pen is guarded 24/7 by a dog.

Theotokos Diocesan Shrine
Located on top of a sanctified hill in Barangay Perrelos, Carcar City, Theotokos Diocesan Shrine is one of the many religious Roman Catholic sites in Cebu province. Just like its more famous counterpart, the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist in Simala, Sibonga, the shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and serves as a Marian pilgrim site.

Once you manage to climb up the hill and reach the main gate, you will be seeing this pillar-like structure bearing the shrine’s name and logo. Now, try to look at it without raising your head up. :)

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011) Quotes
- We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose.
Dark Red Bougainvillea
The bougainvillea is considered one of the most familiar ornamental plants in the Philippines. When I was young, I could get to see this plant almost everywhere…from our garden, to our neighbor’s front yard, then to our school’s porch. It seemed at one point, this easy-to-propagate shrub had been a gardener’s favorite.
Bougainvilleas come in many colors, with dark red ones being the most common (I think). As I was paying a visit at a shrine last October, I was able to observe some of them and take pictures at close range.

Dark Red Bougainvillea
Here’s a close-up pic of a dark red bougainvillea. Just in case you don’t know, the dark red parts are botanically not classified as flowers but bracts. Bracts are modified leaves that surround the plant’s real flower. In the case of bougainvilleas, the real flower is situated in the middle of the bracts and is tiny and yellow.

Decide
I feel it’s time I hit the road today
So I’mma leave, I’m packing up my bags and say
“Farewell, my friends, I’m gonna miss you
It’s not the end, I won’t forget you”
And things may get so tough along the way
But I believe in me, won’t ever lose my faith
Live Today Loving You
You are different, you’re exceptional
You’re the same as my ex-loves I met somewhere before
They just broke it, unrequited love
Thought you could be the next thing to knock me down the floor
Welcome To Your Heart
The time we met, it was the time you said you’re into me
And then you said that you like my body and nothing else
I try to let it flow, hoping that one day your love will grow
‘Cause the time we met was the time I came to love you

In and Around Carcar City Plaza
Towns and cities in the Philippines typically have plazas that are, more or less, surrounded by interesting and significant edifices. And among these cities, The Heritage City of Carcar in Cebu island is no exception.
The town plaza of Carcar is enclosed mainly of historical, governmental and educational establishments; most famous of which is the church of St. Catherine of Alexandria.
Nonetheless, this post is meant to put the spotlight over those nearby places that are not quite well-noticed. Moreover, this will put emphasis on the fascinating and not so fascinating (it all depends on you) stuff that you may see once you get to pay a visit there.
It begins here. :))

This is the picturesque beauty of the church one sunny afternoon. The design certainly depicts the period when it was built, which was during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. The said period lasted for 333 years, ending in 1898.
