Down South 2013: Travel to Davao City.

01.04.2013 – This was the second time to travel alone but a first in Davao City to catch up with a friend and see how thing goes. The flight was at 4AM which takes you an hour and 45 minutes to get to Davao City. The weather was just right as every start of the year rain starts to pour in this city. I took residence at Tower Inn which was located along Quirino Avenue and I’ve been in this place several times since I first went here back in 2010 and spent my New Year in the province but stayed there for a few days by January 2011 for a family reunion with relatives. There were several reviews about the hotel but I guess it’s a matter of personal experience.

Singapore 2012: The View from Merlion Park!

9.04.2012 – The STGCC 2012 has ended Sunday night but the stories and events that encompass the “Coolest Event of the Year” will still be retold in the next couple of days. But for now our tight schedule before heading home is upon us. It’s not like traveling in Korea last year where it took me 18 days to have worn its welcome. Probably a week in Singapore would have a better setting in taking a look at this marvelous City State in a “normal” pace. But since we’re having a very tight schedule we can only appreciate the little things that definitely caught our attention.

The Adventure at Eden Nature Park!

01.09.2011 - A few more days of stay in Davao City feels like being here forever. Though that won't be a boredome case. A few people are not aware how the biggest city in Philippines should be given a spotlight on its own. Lately Manila is starting to be congested in my perspective. Too much attraction that traffic back home is far worse in everyone's mind who wants to get away from it. A good sunday drive to the Eden Nature Park & Resort here in Davao city should be something new to see. I've seen pictures of this place but I didn't know what it was called until I got there with my cousins and friends.

Goes Down South: Market Snap Shots.

12.30.2010 - Mornings in the south is not like Manila. Pretty much it's normal sleeping hours after yesterday's adventure is quite a downtime. Basically, we headed to do some shopping at the market the following day somewhere I'm not familiar with the places. I've been to the city three times in the last 10 years, and I didn't go to be a little bit helpful carrying frozen dead meats. Jump after the cut...

Goes Down South: Up and Around the City

12.30.2010 - Now back here down south for the third time in a decade. The last trip was back in July 2002 and that was the longest I've been. First stop will be the city which I'll be around until Friday, where I leave to head down to the province. The place will be quite remote that internet speed would be compare to the dial-up connection. The whole travel thing was not an excuse for missing Singapore, and this planned way back during summer. To be honest I'm half excited at the same time wondering what's in it for me here. Headed to the airport in a rush was quite frantic. Jump after the cut...
