Have Fun, Shoot, and Flex 'Em: Finally Had Close-Up Shots of Rizal, the Intellectual Statue

I am really glad that we have an extension in our house where we can hangout because without it, I might become a toasted Ruffa in my room especially in the afternoon because it is that time when the temperature is at peak, I feel like toasted mamon, baked crispy and yummy while typing this. And its affecting my productivity, and y'all, I just took a bath ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ. Our extension is an open space actually and it is much more cold in that space.

That place actually is our garage for our old tricycle but since it was already given it is now empty and it become the cats space, I mean, dog too, ehe Anyways, I didn't go anywhere today, I didn't even go to the market and just asked mama to buy us fish that we can eat for lunch. But thanks to that, I save myself from sweating so much because it is really hot outside. And so for today, I will share some ganap or happenings that I did weeks ago.

Its our walk in the Park and I think there's still a lot I haven't talk about in our Park here. And though I already share some of them but it is not as elaborate as what's i'm about to share right now. Here's a few snaps of the tree that blooms beautiful flowers. I also got lucky that I was able to snap a photo where a huge bee that's flying over at the flowers.

And here's another that I haven't share much about. Its a beautiful statue of of our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal and they name it RIZAL, THE INTELLECTUAL. And they made it even more beautiful with all the things surrounding it

According to what's written here, "The statue depicts the Philippines national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal pondering the past and the future of his Country, a few hours before his execution." It is all written here and there's actually more. Another thing is its artist, Eduardo Castrillo. This was blessed on 1996 so I guess it was also crafted at that time.

This is actually the first time I see it this close because when I tried it on my old phone before the quality is just so bad. The way it was crafted is so pretty, I can see clearly everything here. It is a masterpiece and I am glad it was displayed here. But I am not sure why there's an empty bottle on top of it, it is just so disrespectful, to whoever did that. I haven't check yet if someone already get that trash there

Here's more on a different angle. I am not sure if they do maintenance here but maybe someone was also given a role to clean the statue? I am not sure but maybe there's actually no one?

Like, this kind of statue, no one is allowed to touch it right? I am really not sure so let's leave it like that. This statue here in the middle of the park a beautiful reminder of that story about Dr. Jose Rizal. With this, I am sure, no one will ever forget about him

And let me also the beautiful design surrounding this statue. And at night, this is twinkling with lights showing more of Dr. Jose Rizal's statue.
