Video courteousy of minnie... One of the best exerience I had... just loved it!

My Davao Trip Part 2

My 2nd visit to the 2nd largest city of the world... Davao.

5 days and 4 nights of stay at Grand Regal Hotel, Petron Fleet Card Re-Training (the main reason why we are here), Crocodile Park, Waterfront, Eden Nature Park, Skyrider Experience, and much more!!!!

Random pics...

i took this shot upon arrival at Davao. Many would agree that Davao International Airport, compared to other provicial airport is the most developed one. (I also loved Iloilo Airport though.)

2nd night. A dinner at Dencio's Hilltop wherein you'll have an overlooking view of Davao City. We were treated for dinner by Ate Virgie, Minnie's friend whom she knew during her Palawan trip.

at Davao Crocodile Park. Lakasan ng loob lag for the sake na makapag pa-picture! Extreme Challenge talaga!

In preparation for the Skyrider Challenge...

Her real birthday is on Thursday, June 5. She's turning 8 by then. And since she's leaving for romblon (yep.. her vacation with us has ended) and I would be off for Davao on Wednesday, we decided to celebrate it yesterday at home with everyone - The Matias Brothers, Jaymie, Kit and Us...

We Jaymie, Kyla and Me) went to church first in the afternoon. Then dropped by at Tiendesitas for some of jaymie's errands, picked up Kit at Wynsum and then head off to the house for the party.

As usual, hard drinks to the next level again...and she was very happy.

She'll be back in August after her first grading period...

I'll miss you kylets!!!

I am Daddy's little girl and I will always be... this is what he always tells me.. even until now.

I am very blessed to have a Daddy like you. We may not be together that often but I have always treasured our memories together. I missed you more everyday. Hope we could get together soon... I know we will.

I always thank God for giving me a father in you. Thanks for all the kindness and love. We've been closer now and since Mommy left, you're the only shoulder that's left for me. And you never failed to give that on many times I needed it.

I am excited to spend the weekend with you.. and I wouldn't exchange that moment for anything else.

I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!

and I will always be your little girl...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Back from CARAGA

Just arrived from my Butuan-Surigao Trip..

Well, there's nothing much to say about the trip. The planned Siargao Experience didn't pushed through because of time constraint. It was just when we are in Surigao when we finally confirmed the actual travel time from Surigao to Siargao.

It would take us 3-4 hours (ferry ride) going to Dapa in Siargao. And from there, it's a 2-hour land travel going to the surfing area. In which to estimate, would eat 5-6 hours of travel. We arrived in Surigao Sunday afternoon. The ferry going to Siargao leaves at 4am the next day. And we have to be back in Manila today, Tuesday.

No chance at all..

But we had a good time anyway. Here's what we did:

At Butuan City, we stayed at Almont Hotel which we loved so much. And at Surigao, we stayed at Philippine Gateway Hotel (which is also good.. be we loved Almont better! hahahaha!)

Since we cannot have the Siargao thing, we just went to Mabua Pebble Beach and the Floating Village at Surigao City.

And food trip at both cities!

You would be amazed on how clear the water is at Mabua Pebble Beach. Dinaig and Boracay sa linaw at linis ng tubig! though of course there is no sand along the beach.. mostly rocks. But it's really beautiful. And it has a beautiful sunset view.

The Mabua Pebble Beach...

Crystal-Clear Water... Amazing!!!

Blissful Sunset

We just spent the entire trip on food trip... that's why, kelangan kong mangarag sa workout ngayon... We tried eating at Mama Aida's, Weegols, and Mario's Grill. Mario's was the best among all the food trips that we had...

@ Weegols. We had their specialty Chicken Inasal, Mixed Seafoods,

Chicken Skin, Fresh Buko and Buko Halo.

Dinner at Philippine Gateway Hotel...

Thats spareribs on garlic, big tortang talong and the terrific fried rice

We also had ourselves pampered with a Body Scrub, Whole Body Massage and Foot Relax... Super Sarrraaappp!!!!

Next week i'll be flying to Davao... Hoping to have more adventure there...

Blog Parking for a while...

i am doing my last few minutes of going online before i leave for Surigao. This time I won't be bringing macky with me (sigh!). One, I have to travel light. Bringing macky would mean another hand carry baggage with me. Second, Kyla would be left alone in the house. She requested me to leave macky with her, and since she's left on her last week of vacation, i'd better give in to her request.

I would be back on Tuesday afternoon... and then stay here for another day then leave for Davao on Thursday. Macky again will be left alone here...

-----

I am excited! not for the Petron Training but for the Siargao Experience.

My flight is scheduled at 5am later and I'll be at Butuan City by 7am. Siargao is scheduled on Monday.

I hope me and ms. jean would have a great time together...

stories and pics soon...

ciao for now!! be back again super soon!

Bugsy's

just came home from a girl's night-out (with my office girl friends) at Bugsy's. The newly opened bar and resto of our dear Martin whom we fondly call as "Bugs" (obviously, its where the name of his bar came from). It is located along Metrowalk, beside MC Home Depot.

It is now undergoing its soft-dry-run operation. We thought of dropping by to check it out and as a little gesture of support. As of now, it only serves drinks and cocktails, a little of snack.. but no heavy meals yet. Hopefully soon, more menus will come out.
