Philippine Air Force Park Museum

 

It was my second time going to the Philippine Air Force Park Museum. The first time I went there was when I was around 2 years old and I was with my big brother, parents and grandparents. Kuya Zek clearly remembers me running around the park and not minding the planes.

The first plane I looked at was this, to be honest, really old. The fact that it’s rusty and might fall apart anytime.

Next, I went to see this plane which kind of looks like it came from the US Air Force and they just gave it to our Philippine Air Force

It’s called the Blue Diamond plane. It’s really just a code name for the plane. I didn’t really find out the true name of the plane but the name Blue Diamond is a good name for it already (from wikipedia: Blue Diamond is an aerobatic plane team of the PAF and their last active planes are the F-5 jets).  As for the plane itself it kind of looks like it’s something the Philippine Air Force could use today but who knows maybe this plane already retired from the Air Force. I would like to see it in action someday. 

Next plane to see was the only plane that is on a stand which is a Thunderbird, which is probable an attack plane but it didn’t say anything like that in the description on the stand, but I would say it’s a retired Air Force

plane too but again who knows maybe the Air Force is secretly using it or maybe it’s just sitting there in the Air Force hanger.

I find this plane very interesting because there is so much to look at the engine, some inside parts of the landing gears, and some other things. This plane looks advanced and the Air Force might still be using it today. 

This is the part I like the most me piloting the old anti-aircraft gun. It’s really cool because almost every part of it is still there (except the the ammo-belt) and controls like targeting-system. The gun is not that so rusty either so it just might be here a little while longer. 

The artillery cannon was really cool but and you can feel the battle times.

 And so last in the park was the old but still in use Huey helicopter. I can remember that it was use in the Vietnam War to carry troops from point to point. It is still being used by the Philippine Air Force for maybe search and rescue. I would say its going to do well in that kind of job.

After seeing those strong weapons, I would say it’s not good to go to war with these things. It’s better to have peace than war.

In the end I had more fun swimming. I hope for all who are reading this enjoyed my story.

Enjoy your day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CatheKids - Fun Learning About God

So you probably don’t know what “Cathekids” is about. Well, let me tell you that Cathekids is about teaching kids about God (from the combined words of Catechism and Kids).  Yup, its listening and learning about our God in the bible. By the way, the bible has many pages but I like it that way anyway.

Cathekids also have activities for the kids like dancing to songs about God, watching videos about God doing things to change the hearts of humans. After the video watching, the catechist asked questions to see if everyone listened to the video story.

 

Last June 5, 2022, we finally met for the first time after many months of online learning after the 9am Holy Mass. Before starting, we introduced ourselves. Then, we played some games before eating food. Some of the games we played are “Hep Hep Hurray”, and “Say The Thing I Say and Do the Things I Say” (a pretty long title for the game wouldn’t you say?). After the kids play it was the adults turn to play the games but the games for the adults are different. Their game was a game of Question & Answer. My mom and I won in most games.

After the games, we ate some yummy food on the table after blessing these.

 

Finally, after eating, it was time for Phoebo and Yvonne to share their short stories about a flower, a cactus and palm tree. The lesson we learned is that we must not judge anyone by their looks only. After that, we then said our good-byes before parting ways.

 

I enjoyed our Cathekids meet-up very much especially meeting my new friends Aqui and Thor.  I hope we all meet again soon. 😉
