amazing trip to DAVAO

 DAVAO - definitely one of my list in my must go places before traveling outside Philippines, and at last it happened with a plus factor that this trip wasn't a business trip like those of my previous trips, but purely a vacation trip, to see the place wth my own gusto and be reunited with my old and the not so old friends.:D

with this, allow me to narrate every detail of my trip from day one up to the last day, though there were one thing very common with the experience all throughout the trip, that is: TIRING YET AMAZINGLY ENJOYING!

on the first day,
fetched from airport all the way to attend the Christening of "Baby Jieann" (my inaanak), but since the plane arrived late, i only joined the dinner and the night party which lasted about two o'clock in the morning.

on the second day,
still wanting to hit that sack because of the late slumber, but really need to get up to take a power breakfast because this day is a very long day, as the itinerary was being laid down:
together with the colleagues,

let's begin with a trek inside  GAP FARMING RESORT at Ma.a, Davao City 

(still photos will speak much of how enjoying the tour was..)
i took some snapshot while the others are busy investigating the whatever..
making "kulit mode" climbing the stiff stairs
stop overs..
no animals were harmed when this photo was taken.. :D
so nice to feel young again...
needs a shade..
dare to be bold....
got tired with my hav,  i have to lift it so i can walk equally fast.. he he 
once there were the young ones...
and a final pose before going to the next attraction... 

are you still up, for the next story line? i'll tell you that, this is quite a story --its simply an amazing trip ..!
anyways, here's a peek on our ..

trail to the Japanese Tunnel still in Ma,a, Davao City 

im asking him to date me out..LOL
but, this is where i ended..ROLL!
as if... ha ha
who looks more like of a geisha..
and so with the others, once sitted at the couch can't help but fallen asleep
tiredness knocking us out... 

and, after gaining some energy with the accidental naps we proceeded to have a lunch at former's Dencio's resto and guess what's the ordered menu..?
it's a Crocodile and Ostrich Meat, as the group wanted to taste the Davao's pride of excotic food, and for this time they ordered: KALDERETANG CROCODILE and OSTRICH SISIG, i tried to eat both meat but just after the maxtication process in my digestive system -- ahh.. you don't wanna know what happended, well, nothing much but just ending up starving :(


croco meat
ostrich meat

.so much for the foodie thing, let's go now to the third tourist attraction that we got for this day,

the Davao Butterfly House 

nature, life, beauty..and of course ME
i'm looking for some warning signs, that would keep us out from here.. ha ha

oh well, someone who could tell me that playgrounds were just meant for kids to play? ha ha, anyway, we are just actually killing the time waiting for the animal show at crocodile park that would start at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon as we intend to watch it...
   
NEXT STOP DAVAO CROCODILE PARK

cool...

 it's almost dusk when we left the park and i'll say its super enjoying out there.. we're now ready moving to our night escape which is going to panabo city, davao oriental -- where one of our classmate from there invited us for a big time  dinner.

but just before we reached the dinner table, we stopped by to fetched something and i did a little tripping on this stage... LOL!

sana ngayong pasko...ay maalala mo pa rin ako... 

the night ended up so high and full, and tiring and once our back hit the bunks, we said goodnight to the world. 

that's it! i have to cut my story in here, please join me again for another page of my storyline about this trip, because there were more exciting fun in the next days of my stay.

city life


some wishes to see and reach the peak of the stairs of a high rise building or make believe that city life is a life that is as good as it gets... i can't tell that, cause i haven't been there

SAIL ON, SAIL BY



sail on with the sea and sail by with the wind, no matter the tides and distance, go... conquer your destiny.

finally going home

six days of stay in gensan is such a short period of time to tour around and sight see, much more that my prime reason of goin' is to work and  though most of the time i was confined at tambler i still able to enjoy myself and more than glad that i come and see.


some other beautiful spot i haven't visit here were the reason that i need to come back, some other time.





rain rain go away, fallenrainnes is flying away...


..finally home, getting ready for the next destination, somewhere in Visayas, this time....




note:


there's  more gensan untold story, i'll share it once i make the luxury of time to write...


keep smilin",...

sunny and dusty day @gensan

third day in gensan is a replica of my stay on the second day,that is another "tough working day" however, there's more mobility this day as we move from tambler to lanton, apopong, i even experience slight headaches and some body malaise, maybe brought by the warm weather and dusty road we traversed here and there.

that's work anyway, and the only console it gives me is to be able to do more sight seeing of buildings, streets, cabs, cars,people or get the feel of the heart of the city itself.




MAGANDANG GENSAN, everyone :)

endless roadtrip




i've got body pain post travel, so it's nice to get a nap
as soon as you arrived...
i've been busy lately due to work and travel toxicity, i've got less time to update my blogs and stories and due to changes of job location i've been traveling every weekend from manila to northern luzon and vice versa, and despite the long hours of travel i've been comfortable riding in a bus to convey me to my destination. travel stress is unavoidable, but it doesn't matter  for i always set time to debrief myself from a stressful situation such as this, i'm thinking one after next week end.

yes, that would be after next week, because this weekend i am scheduled to go to GENERAL SANTOS CITY for a weeklong work. how about that?

well, i'm a bit excited cause that would be my very first step to manny pacquiao's native land. :) 

see you there....

going elsewhere

puerto galera, oriental mindoro
where would you like destiny to bring you...

STARBUCKS and ME going back to SOLENAD

TALE OF STARBUCKS HERE AND THERE (part 4)
(if you were reading this, please find time to read previously related posts) 


it is located at Solenad, Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Tagaytay road corner,
nuvali Blvd, Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines
(photolink:  http://food.clickthecity.com/b/ig2cb49)

it's not because i've been to Starbucks - Solenad then, then i won't include it in this year's hunt of Starbucks 14 stores. well, you got that wrong, because i did came back, and since this is my second time here, there wasn't much hassle in my travel, but just the risk that it's close to midnight yet we're still on gallivant at STARBUCKS, SOLENAD, NUVALI, STA. ROSA, LAGUNA. which was quite far when conveyed by a tricycle from a good friend's lair, "Aiza" at  BALIBAGO, STA. ROSA and where i and myself spent the holyweek.  


..gabb, aiza and me and .. a bit tired and sleepy
yet on the go for the storyline...



...finding time to talk the talk we'd never talked..

a snapshot before we finally left
 (sorry for the poor picture quality, camera's battery is dead)

LEARNED VIRTUE: "VALUE" your relationship with others  and keep it "TIGHT",  bond and do odd yet funny things together, illuminate life and keep it light so that while you're in pursue with your destiny you are in a HAPPY JOURNEY!      



***************************************************************************

EXTRA:

the still shot of my visit @ Starbucks, Solenad the first time and again it's my post birthday treat early June last year with a dear friend "Mami Haze", from here we did some fish feeding and boat riding for the fun.
