Getting a glimpse of Mt. Apo!
Actually the one in view is not the summit. But with my three days in Davao to be able to witness it, I was not lucky enough to see the highest peak. This photo was taken while we visited the Mt. Apo Highland Resort (Hillside).
I wish I had all the time to sit on the bench and watch the clouds engulf the peaks at the same time be mesmerized by the cool fresh air! So free from air pollution.
I traveled to Davao Thursday evening to attend the Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2012. I was one of the more than twenty participants coming from places all over the Philippines.
This is me during the visit to Tribu K Mindanawan Cultural Village located at the Davao Crocodile Park Complex. We went there to watch the fire dance. If it was not yet too late, we could have gone around the whole village and see all what is there to see. But have another appointment to catch, so we just took a group pic on this spot and then left for Lachi’s.
More of this and DFAT 2012 related photos and news bit will be posted in my travel blog.
I arrived back home Tuesday morning and right away, in .less than an hour, I was already at work. Time flies so fast.
Travel makes me forget time but work reminds me that I should be mindful of my time.
Thanks to Charles for taking this photo.
Summer is here once again and daily the temperature is so high that a liter of water is not enough to quench your thirst especially when you are travelling. Be it on a private transportation or in a public one. But in public transportation, people tend to crowd so it can’t be avoided that the more the humidity goes up.
We’ve been traveling the past days and for me, 2 liters of water is not enough. Me and the daughter tend to drink and drink. That is why when we see a body of fresh water like outdoor water fountains it just feels so refreshing. It is like any moment, we would like to pacify the heat.
Today morning, the sun was so high and it was really so hot. But an hour before we left the Cabilao island, a storm was brewing Southern Visayas. Good thing we were off to central Visayas and it can be seen that the skies were clear out there. Indeed, when we arrived in Argao, it was not raining and the weather was just fine.
Right now, the daughter and I are heading back to Mindanao and guess what’s in one of our bags? Bottles of water!
Advisory tip for this summer? Don’t dehydrate. Drink water as much as you can. Water does not mean coffee, soda, and other tetra juices. What I meant with water is really fresh water.
I was so overwhelmed with blue skies for the past days. We arrived in Bohol Thursday morning and right away I fell in love with its clean blue skies. The blue green deep waters are so inviting that even for someone who is scared of the deep longs to jump in the water and swim.
But today, I say bye to the blue skies because we are heading back to Iligan City – the original home. I have made several adopted homes around the world but there is no sweeter home than the real home.
I guess everyone feels that way, too.
I though we would not go to the mainland today. But we did because we are going to pick a package at the LBC office. After the pick-up we will go swimming at the other side of the island.
Since yesterday, i love the cruisin down the coastal road with the smooth upbeat music to liven the atmosphere. The temperature is so high that it can drowse us to sleep. Thanks to the music – a collection of English, Filpino, and German love songs. What I love with the German songs is that – the tune is very familiar and so sweet yet I do not understand a word.
Auntie Babie’s car speaker is so good that it feels like I am inside a home theater. I bet her speaker is similar to the kustom brands being on sale online this time. I am going to ask her tomorrow.
This is one of the places we passed by yesterday. How I wish we could stop so that I can go up the church to take more photos. =)
@ $279.00 Good for two for 4 days and 3 nights!
Sounds like a great deal and anyone who can make it must grab this.
Yeah, my friend’s family are going there anytime soon. I thought she did not know of the offer. I only discovered this when I was browsing through top 20 Orlando Attractions and the Sea World is one of it. If only Dimple and I can make it there before the offer expires, surely we would be packing our backpacks now for a weekend treat.
Package deals are great grabs for families on vacation. It’s one way to save if saving is still in mind when the vacation is only done once a year. But yes, grabbing sales is one of the economic tips I read from one of my groups magazines.
Why Orlando vacations for my cousin’s family? Because they are just one state away. They are now living in Georgia and they are planning to visit her sister who resides in Orlando. Now she is busy completing their itinerary and the top 20 list really helped her a lot. For sure visiting Disneyland is also on top list and I reminder her not to forget Kennedy Space Center. She is sure that they will have one great blast of a vacation.
It was one fine Sabbath morning and I find myself with the Gen Ed family in one of the homes in Dumingag. This was my first trip to Dumingag and particularly in the campus of Western Mindanao Academy. Our school was invited to present a program that Sabbath morning. It was also part of the promotion of the school.
We traveled going there Friday after lunch and we arrived late in the afternoon. It was quite sometime of a travel. Luckily I was seated in the front seat with Ma’am Lai or else I will not feel so comfy if I was seated at the back. The one who drived us going there was Kuya Nonoy. Sigh. Missing Kuya now. Wherever you are now Kuya, we always miss you.
A stolen shot of me while waiting for everyone so we can leave for the church services.
It’s early morning over at my end and I just finished going through some old photos and am reminded of the day when these pics was taken. It was one fine day. The sun shone so brightly that morning. It was so humid. Good thing it rained in the afternoon and made our trip back a bit pleasant.
Today is not one of my lazy day but I am wishing am out somewhere doing and R & R at Lake Apo in Bukidnon. I’ve been there once and I when I left I promised that I have to go back once more if not many times.
The place, Dr. Almer called it “The Timeless Place” is an idyllic place to for relaxation. Far from the noise of city life. Life can be peaceful because it’s not anytime that your phone will beep for an incoming message or will ring for an incoming call. If your mind is really set to be free from city hustle and bustle at least for the weekend, you will be able to leave the place refreshed and rejuvinated.
One of the views you can enjoy there.
The view there was really breathtaking that if the rest house have if they have they have one of those Adirondack rocking chair at AdirondackChairs.com, then you would enjoy the view in a more relaxing way. They do have reclining wooden seats that adds up to the elegant country living, but I wish they also have the rocking chairs.
