Spontaneous Trip to Davao

Woke up one morning finding a text message from Poma, confirming if indeed 21 Aug was declared as a holiday. I answered in the affirmative. In response, he asked if I’ve ever been to Davao. I said ‘no’. Before the day ended, plans were ready na. In less than 2 weeks, we were off to Davao!

It was my first time to go to Mindanao, and Davao was not the Mindanao that I imagined. Had so much fun in Pearl Farm! I was amazed that it wasn’t too packed considering na holiday ha. And clap clap to both of us for deciding to lounge sa Malipano Island (just across) than staying the entire time sa resort. We had the island to ourselves. Az in.

At any rate, did not achieve that golden tan. Kerri lang because I can’t be too negra. May Guimaras pa for the following week divs.

After Pearl Farm, we spent time with Poma’s family visiting animals (yes, animals, eeeek!). We went to Crocodile Park and Philippine Eagle Sanctuary. Take note, I am so not a fan of animals. But of course, I had to control my screaming extravagannnzzza! Kakahiya din with Poma’s nieces if I don’t join sa pic-taking with animals. Talo pa ako ng mga bata! Well, it was very much of a challenge, and hey, I survived!! Haha.

One of the best things in Davao is probably food. As in. We’ve had loads and loads of tuna sashimi, kilawin and pomelo salad. Love love love! We also tried the durian coffee (with durian bits). Interesting, but I can’t say I enjoyed. Not a fruit fan…especially not of durian. Haha.

Enjoyed Davao! Much love to Tita Ning, Ate Istin, Kuya Eric, Cassie and Marie for making sure we had a fun trip!

xcess: I just really find it weird that we were there during the Kadayawan Festival, but parang hindi ko naexperience this Festival.
