Circa 2010.
Just got back from Davao! The place is just amazing! I cant believe how developed the city is!
If I blindfold you and bring you to Davao City, You're gonna think you're still in Manila!
Oh Wait, Davao is way better than Manille!
So many places to go to! Strips and strips of restos and clubs and the city is so clean like everything is gleaming, like everything was just built yesterday! Even the jeepneys looked like they were newly painted. They even have a bigger and better branch of Kopiroti. lots of big shiny malls, Lots of subdivisions too!
Plus, the people are warm, as always.
Thank you to our kind hosts- Mr Robert Tee and Mrs. Kim Tee.
Mother (in Pink) and Mrs. Tee (in Nike shirt)
Dad (in crazy lookin' outfit with paint on his face) and Mr. Tee (normal guy)
I'm glad to meet very nice people in this lifetime.
The trip is actually a "unplanned' one for me because my Dad is attending this mason initiation which costs a lot! and 'papahirapan ka pa!" but its not Hazing y'all! Anyway, you dont wanna know that. If my dad has a blog i'm sure he'll blog about it cuz I am also sure it was one memory of his, that will last a lifetime!
This trip for me,is about ziplines! Tried two ziplines!
This one's at ZipCity 300m longer, but a lil' boring. (haha!)
This one is in SkyRider, Eden Park. 200m
If you're gonna ask me, Sky Rider is way better because its way faster. and cheaper.
Had a very fun tour at Eden Park. Its like Tagaytay - Safari Tour minus the wild beasts but bring in the flowers and plants and trees and greeneries! Reminds me of our little "Farmville" tractor trip at Mapawa.
Also on our 2nd day, Mrs.Kim's sister in law Mrs. Neri, brought us to the orchids garden. It wa blah but then Mother loves orchids! I think she did enjoy.
Meet Mrs. Yuhico, the wealthy old lady who owns hectares and hectares of orchid gardens here.
Now, Mrs. Yuhico owns this lovely house on top of the hill.....
This house has a lot of prominent visitors... wealthy politically inclined visitors.
Say, Bruno Mars, sing wit me! " I wanna be a billionaire so frickin' bad!"
Im gonna buy myself hectares and hectares of land here in Davao! Monopoly style! boo Yeah!
Then maybe, I'll get invited to this lovely house sipping tea with the hacienderos and hacienderas!
Or better yet, I'll be like Mrs. Yuhico on my retirement days, planting orchids, making tea and biscuits.
Mental note to self: I'll live here in Davao! I'll bring Krispy Kreme and Tokyo Tokyo as my business!
I'll have a house on the hill too!
And Ima say hello to ziplines and white water rafting every freakin'day!
Lovely. Just lovely.
