Weepee...im going to ride an airplane again and im going to Mindanao!!!!

I have this thing about visiting all the glorious and far flung places in the Philippines and Davao is one of them. This time im travelling with my high school buddies. Planning this trip through email is not a big effort at all, since everything is electronic, the ticket, the information. Saya!

I was a little melancholy before the trip coz we had a delayed flight so i had to spend more time in the Domestic Airport. Coming back and seeing it through the eyes of a traveller and not a Ground Staff flashes back memories of the olden days, naks!

So after an hour of delay, a back to ramp scenario and 1hour 45mins of cruising the sky, We arrived at Davao International Airport.

(L-R: Lany, Gerith, Me, Shohun, Mac)

The best things i would recall about this trip would be:

Pearl Farm, simply world class.

Welcoming the unwelcome. We passed through the back door of Paradise Resort as well as Pearl Farm. When every visitor arrive by pamboat (pumpboat) we arrived either by tricycle (tricycad) or jeep.


Samal in land tour, if you want to experience the hair frizz and oily face, try to hire a jeep and visit the one of a kind places in Samal island.

They are real live bats....

Seafood galore, Sinugba (inihaw), Lato(seaweeds) salad, Kinilawna Tuna (heaven!) and Durian everywhere. I tried the Durian coffee, Yummy!

Longtime catching up talks with friends which is priceless.
Aldevinco, batik and pearls

Okay, it was a huge effort on my part to watch Charlotte's Web. For starters i am Arachnophobic so this film, interesting as it is, is hard to watch especially when you try to cover your eyes at the same time peep while viewing it.

I love the plot and since this is originally a book written by E.B. White, also the author of Stuart Little, ill buy a copy of the book too. Ill read it too Roo as his bed time story. My friend Mac even commented, "pang audio book ka lang", since she knows my state with the creepy crawly. I love love this story and the miracle that comes with it. I love Charlotte and the kids, Wilbur and I see myself in Ike (you'll know when you watch the film). Nice soundtrack too. I wish another miracle would happen, that my fear of spiders would vanish.

Other Titles the Author wrote: Practical Magic and Here on Earth (both have movie versions too).

I started reading this book immediately after reading The Devil Wears Prada. Yeah late bloomer ako sa TDWP book phase. Anyway, this book is so descriptive you'll see yourself so engross with the characters. Its quite a long read. If you are a fan of fairy tales, this has a modern take on it. You will be drawn to its Magical and Mysterious heroines.
