========================

Nagbakasyon ako sa Davao, limang araw, mula nung August 25 hanggang August 29. Lulan kami ng Cebu Pacific (nag-avail kasi kami ng promo nuon na piso lang) hmmm restless ako buong byahe siguro dahil walang makain sa plane.

First Day.
Not much. Ikot-ikot lang sa downtown, malling, dumalaw sa hospital sa Ammah ni Rache, nameet ko na din ang ilan sa kanyang mga tita. Nagcheck in kami ni Rache sa Business Inn, sabi nya 550.00 per night lang daw ung rate. Nagcheck in kami kasi hindi naman daw kasya kami sa bahay nila. Maaga akong natulog...

mt. Apo ata to,

kinunan ko lang sa plane.

Second Day. PEARL FARM.
costs: 1200.00 day trip with lunch.

Maaga kaming nagprepare for Pearl Farm, ako, si Rache, si Mama, si Papa at si ADean. From sa house nag taxi kami to Davao Marina then sakay ng Ferry na naghatid sa min sa Pearl Farm.

Honestly, not much to do there, yup, Che was right medyo boring. Medyo madumi din kasi medyo maulan. So, we just had a tour around the island, picture picture... then, nagbabad na kami sa may infinity pool and then took a lot of pictures ulit.

Lunch time, panalo!!! Sulit ang bayad. sarap ng food. Ang daming pagpipilian.

After lunch, tumawid kami sa kabilang island, nag-ikot ikot kami ni ADean and then, natulog na ako. Hindi ko kasi matake magswim sa beach, madumi talaga. :(

Various views dun sa Pearl Farm

after sa Pearl Farm, we had dinner sa Banana Leaf dun sa Sales St. After nun, I just stayed sa room with ADean playing tong-its and watching TV. After a while, I got tired playing, so ADean joined his cousins and I slept.

Third Day. EDEN NATURE PARK. cost: 380.00 day tour and buffet lunch.

Dun sa Eden, halos buong kamag-anakan ni Rache kasama namin. Grabe pakiramdam ko nakita ko ang sarili kong nasa set ng Mano Po at ako ay isang extra laang. Anyway, I had fun naman sa Eden, altho the food is not as good nung nasa Pearl Farm.

For the first time, I experienced FISHING!!! I caught like 4 big ones and 1 small one. I had 2 of the fishes returned sa water. Ganun pala un... when you start to feel that there's someone/something tugging on your fishing rod, do not hastily retrieve it, let the fish savor first the worm and when it's hooked it's the time to pull it up. :) dapat, i-apply sa buhay. hahaha.

After sa Eden, nilibre kami nina Jed sa KruaThai ng dinner. After that we went to Jack's Ridge, para makita ko daw kung anong meron sa Jack's Ridge. katuwa sila. :) Thanks Jed, Anne and Kimberly!!! :)

Fourth Day. Malagos Park. Phil. Eagle Center, Malagos Garden Resort
at sandamak mak na butterfly house hehehehe.
Entrance Fees range from 50-100 pesos only.




dami ko pa wento... kaso kelangan ko nang tapusin tong entry na to. sobrang long overdue na to e...

Babalikan ko ang Davao... :)

At sobrang grateful ako sa buong pamilya ni Rachelle, at kay Rachelle. They made my stay memorable and they made sure that I was well-fed. hehehe.

At syempre kay ADean, for that duration of my stay sa Davao, parang nagkaron ako ulit ng kapatid na younger. :)
