“First Embrace”

Immortalizing that precious moment of my first embrace with my grandchild Ron Alfred Constantine De los Santos Rico right after he was discharged from the ICU days after he was born in December of 2024.

My Pachoichoi. My mini-me.

Another masterpiece in oil by Patrick Solitario. ❤️

We had a bonus stop-over before we proceed with our R&R, a worthy visit at Dantayan Artist Village, where its owner, Sir Soviet dela Cruz walked us thru the rich history and culture of Aklan together with his massive Talibong Collection.

He also strutted his puppetry ingenuity - remarkable!

The site was truly an artist’s haven filled with creative outputs!

Inspiring, awesome, overflowing artistic sense.

2nd Industry Exposure of SUNN Graduate School Program Professors

2nd stop of Day in our industry visit was the Aklan Innovators Hub Fabrication Laboratory (FabLab) located at the Aklan State University - Kalibo Campus. This is actually a tripartite project jointly entered into by ASU, DTI and the Provincial Government of Aklan.

Dr. Amzi Martires, the managing officer of this project walked us through with its implementation. We were shown with how their machines are operating.

Another project that is worthy of replication especially among LGUs.

2nd Industry Exposure of the Graduate School Program Professors of SUNN

First stop in the morning on the 2nd day of our industry visit was the Provincial Capitol of the Province of Aklan. We were warmly welcomed by its Provincial Administrator, Atty Selwyn C. Ibarreta representing their good governor.

They shared with us the provincial government’s best practices on how it sustained 8 consecutive years of passing the Seal of Good Local Governance!

The Provincial Planning Office represented by Miss Kristine Yassa, their Information Technology Program Division and Agriculture programs presented by their Provincial Agriculturist Eng’r Alexys Apolonio were among the areas covered during the engagement.

There are so much to learn from the good practices of such humble province Aklan. Their warmth and hospitality is truly inspiring.

2nd Industry Exposure of SUNN Graduate School Program Professors

In the afternoon of Day 1, straight from CAPSU Burias, the team proceeded to Aklan Agri-Aqua Demo Farm and Training Center being managed by the Provincial Government of Aklan.

Former Board Member Soviet Dela Cruz has passionately provided the team with insights on how the site came into existence and how it is sustainably managed to benefit the good people of Aklan.

This project underscores the priority of the Aklan Province to support its agricultural communities and empower small farmers.

2nd Industry Visit of the Graduate School Professors of the State University of Northern Negros headed by our GS Dean Dr. Kristine Acanto- Condes.

Day 1 first stop was Capiz State University Burias Campus in Mambusao.

CAPSU Burias Campus is known for their topnotch Biosystems Engineering Program, machine fabrications and their joint program with PAGASA weather station, the AGROMET (agriculture & meteorology).

There are truly a lot of pontential projects that can be replicated with the right push and prioritization.

When social media becomes increasingly toxic, disconnect and find a way to reconnect with nature.

That should be the best reset button you can ever click!

Silhouette..

Shadows are beautiful reminder that something needs to end to pave the way for a new beginning.

Just don’t allow shadow to creep on you… things that you want to hide - things that would make you feel afraid of your very own shadow.

This page turned 1 year today! 🫰❤️

There was really the intention to go full swing eventually with content creation when i created this page a year ago joining the wagon of almost everyone - wanting to become Digital Creator.

Did a season of content - thats more than 10 episodes of interviews and featured news, contents and all others as i would want my content to be just that - informative, engaging and practical.

However, along the way, i realized that this is not for me! For one, it takes so much effort and time to catch up with the supposed requirements of meta (id refuse to personify it 😜🤣)

Life is just so darn busy and obviously cannot afford to add one more chore on my plate.

And so i stopped.

And after a few months of hibernating, i decided to post some fotos and raw videos again.. but this time, no more intention to become a content creator.

Simply, i just want to share bits and pieces of my thoughts and whatever thats not too personal. No more illusion of monetization, or wanting for more views or followers.

Just a simple public connection of me to the virtual world.

And so this is how it survived for a year now… and for all other incoming years i guess!

Thank you, loves!

Happy 1 year Da Vinci Diary! 🫶

Kung hei fat choi!

Leave, by all means.. if you must - leave all the bad things behind!

With today’s celebration of the Chinese new year comes the thought of starting a new mindset - never be drawn to overthinking, not to overkill things that can actually be taken on its surface value, get back to basic, take things simply.

Easy to think about, but i know it’d be so hard fo shift. But who knows, it might work!

I am the kind of person who actually gives back however i am treated. Give me love and kindness and i surely give it back to you tenfolds. - i guess i am like that - or anybody would like to refute? 😁

But when i feel that i am no longer needed, when i feel like i am no longer valued… when my existence doesn’t matter anymore — i’ll try with my 3-hits mantra - that is to try 3 more times if things can still be worked out.

But if it doesn’t still, then i’d rather, simply, walk away. No regrets, no what ifs, no hesitation.

Just my thoughts today.

A peaceful Valentine, loves!
