My First Walk with the Davao Bloggers

"Opportunity comes but to grab it depends, on someone's choice."

It was because I love to write a journal way back teenage years, that I have decided to have a blog of my own. Then I started this site at the beginning of 2008 and has been on and of in the blog world. Until I was assigned to a project in September 2010. I became super busy and left blogging.

Few days ago, I was invited to attend this 1st Davao Bloggers Walk via Facebook. I wasn't sure who's responsible for inviting me hahahaha... I was a little bit hesitant to join because I don't know who're coming. While the event date got closer, I BBMed my friend Leah Valle who happens to be the president of the group. Then I decided to join the day before the event.

The event was held in June 20,2011 ... shall I say a success. It was organized in honor of the Philippine's National Hero, Dr. J

ose Rizal @ his 150th birthday.

I was so blessed for opening my heart and my mind to the knocking opportunity of meeting the group. I've met a lot of Davao Bloggers. Everybody seems so nice and jolly (not to mention we have a comapany named Jollibee hahahaha). I had so much fun.

The event started way too late from the time they set but it's ok since it gave me the opportunity to mingle with new friends. The

event started with a few words from the officers, then getting to know the fellow Davao Bloggers and we headed to the Davao Museum. Then we had a few taste of Davao Street Foods, then we get to visit to the Jose Rizal collections (stamps, coins and paper money) of Mr. Rene Adapan at Manila Bulletin's 2/F where I was given the chance to be a "1-minute Billionaire," then we headed to the St. Peter Cathedral and then to Kusina Dabaw for a small "salo-salo." Summing it up, I HAD FUN!

Here are a few photos to for you to see:

Thank you Davao Bloggers. I hope it's not the first and the last meeting we have. I enjoyed your company.

INLOVE with EPL

EAT.PRAY.LOVE. Until now, I still cannot get over with this movie that I'm

inlove with. I've watched it twice already but I wanted to watch it again.

I want to have a DVD of it. The movie was based from the EAT PRAY LOVE

book written by Elizabeth Gilbert.

Few days after my 2nd viewing of EPL, my family went to SM to watch

movie. And there's this huge EAT PRAY LOVE board. Sad to say that

I didn't bring my camera so please bear with the photos as they're only taken

with my E63 phone...

Mc Arthur Hwy.

From now on, I will be sharing my captured photos in here. I have a hard time maintaining more than one blog so instead, I will make this blog something with a mix of my photography, favorite music, favorite videos and etcetera...

The photo above was taken at Mc. Arthur Highway, Davao City Philippines fronting NCCC Mall of Davao during the PMAP sponsored fun run eight days ago. The photo was taken at almost 6:00am.

INDIO meets INDIAS

After an India met an India a few months ago, another Indio set his feet in Davao to meet the beautiful indias last December 9, 2008.I had fun. Everybody has stories to tell and Ate JoLiz is correct - a night is not enough. Anyways, it was nice to meet you, guys. I hope we could meet some other time.
