You'll Have Fun at Camp N in Nuvali

Do you think you have friends who still don't know how to ride a bike? Or you perhaps? Or are you the person who can ride a bike and don't know how to do mountains, trails and stuff like that? Well, here's the thing, CAMP N in Nuvali in Sta. Rosa Laguna now has a new facility designed just for people like you. CAMP N is now doing programs for NON BIKERS, Cross Country/Mountain Bike beginners, because they want you to learn MORE especially if you are 7 years and up!

What's even great is that they have experts to train you, they also have trails where you can test your skill if it's enough to survive the outside world. I feel so invigorated while being there in midst of nature, the trees, the grass, the birds without the bees. It was a way to connect with nature and we're not even doing that these days in the city. Camp N is just a few hours away from Manila, and biking as never been so fun! Did you know I love it that much that I learned to ride a bike when I was 4 years old? I think we need to do this more often, and have some fun. Now those who can't ride a bike, don't have an excuse anymore. Get your family and friends go too. I had fun!

Amaia Holds Upcycling Challenge In Nuvali

I had my bets early on and guess who won the competition! :)

We have already made huge waves in recycling but Amaia is doing it better buy having an Upcycling challenge in Sta. Rosa's Nuvali property. It's owned by the Ayala's. Upcycling basically means you have to make it worth more than what it seems. Contestants were given Php 3,000 for materials and they have to make something that is worth more than what they had, ultimately to produce something that would personify Amaia Steps Parkway and how simple it is to live and thrive in an environmentally responsible community. They all made these in 24 hours and the only thing they would need to include in the mix is softdrink pet bottles. 

Here's what happened during that weekend:

Congratulations to the winners "The Illuminant"! I hope I could get to join this soon. The champion won Php 100,000 which was really big! They could start their small business after that!

Nuvali's Greenstallations!

This weekend was a little adventurous as we chose to head down south to experience Nuvali once again. I've been indulging in art since my Cebu trip and this one's quite the same. It's not just pieces though because we're talking about world class artists on this one.

Manila's art scene was in attendance

We were also provided with this ensemble of tribal music. I must say when they picked up the nose flute we were all in a trance!

We were so honored to be in the presence of 4 great artists namely Mr. Mario Mallari Jr. (a scrap metal - eco artist), Architect Juan Carlo Calma (internationally acclaimed Architect/Interior Designer/Visual Artist) , 1996 TOYM Awardee Michael Cacnio (known for his intricate themed brass sculptures), and Eduardo Castrillo whose works include the several huge monuments in Ayala plus the People Power Monument along EDSA. I specifically like the words of Eduardo Castrillo when he talked about how this project came about when they approached him to make the sculpture. He didn't believe in competitions because it inhibits the creativity of artists so this was something of a good thing for him, more so the green responsibilities and theme that came with it. The other artists were really just elated that they get to be in the midst of people in this caliber. They have probably seen their work too.

Then they started to unveil the pieces they made for NUVALI, they call it GREENSTALLATIONS!

A toast from executives of Ayala Land, Ayala Museum, Nuvali and the artists themselves made this official. We also went to each sculpture, and got a few photos of these huge pieces. All works from the masters!

Now more than ever NUVALI will be doing something great not just with the environment but with CULTURE itself with these iconic sculptures.The majestic space will not only benefit the residents, the community and people in NUVALI but will make Filipino art known to the country, and soon the world! Each piece depicting an artist's interpretation of evoliving, something that even other countries have taken notice. It was even featured on CNN a few months ago.

World class NUVALI now has world class artwork on the grounds of their 1,860 hectare property in Laguna. It will be nurturing generations to come. From Sports, Business, Nature and Culture, they've got it covered. Congratulations to the artists, Nuvali for getting this world class artwork for Filipinos and non Filipinos around the world to enjoy!
