Creepy Art... or Not?

My family went to Davao early this year, just to enjoy bonding together as a family. We don't have any relatives in Davao City but a little adventure with the kids is what we really want to have, so off we went and toured Davao City's finest stops. Our feet were tired and sore from all the walking to and fro, we brought the kids to the Davao People's Park, to the Crocodile Park, Colasa's Barbeque Street, and some malls.

We searched for a hotel to sleep over and found Ponce Suites. The weary kids were no longer interested to tour the hotel as we went back past 11pm, until the following morning, and goodness gracious, the hotel alone, was a tourist spot. It was actually hubby's idea to visit this place because he has heard so much from this hotel.

Hence, I will show you what we have seen...

This is the aisle of the hotel. Up the ceiling were crawling ants.
If you take a close look at them, there are some pics of the sweets the ants were craving for and so answers why they are up there.

The walls of the hotel were decorated as well with different things, all recycled from trash. "Surely one man's trash is another man's gold."

Every door is decorated with different works of art, all faces. This one is our door.

No part of the wall is vacant, some with paintings, photographs, shells, even sands!

We have to go upstairs to enjoy and discover the fully art-covered hotel, you see, even the area near the stairs are fully covered with photographs, collections and takes of the artist himself, Kublai Millan. His works have already been featured in ABS-CBN's Rated K.

Up, up and there's a library with old books and paintings up the ceiling too.
See the cans of paints hanging there? The artist collected them and turned them
into a decorative design. Such artwork eh?

This is the stairs going up the coffee shop, the strong iron bars the artist used were scraps
and was made to be into this cool stairs resembling a lizard.

Outside the hotel, we can see this bronze sculptures, Kublai Millan sculpted them himself.

Davao City houses the Philippine Eagle. It even has the Philippine Eagle Center in Kalinan,
and so this explains the sculpture here, as tribute to the Philippine Eagle.

Another eagle artwork.

Whatever this is, it's a beauty! Story of evolution?

Of course, Davao is famous for it's durian, and Kublai Millan has featured this durian in this hotel so beautifully we cannot stop clicking our camera, the old point and shoot. Too bad we could have gotten nicer shots had the big cam arrived earlier, teehee.

Me and Tabebs having our pic taken behind this Waling-waling sculpture.
Waling-waling orchids are plenty in Davao.

Forgive me, I don't know if these are still sculptures or monuments as they are so big. You may want to ask me about the inside of the room, no, it was not full of artworks, it was cool, plain cream-colored room, a nice lampshade, beautiful flowery hand-paintings on frames. No ants up the ceiling! Visit Davao if you wanna see this for yourself. =)

Now, eerie or nice?
