...to make this happen! Photo courtesy of Christian Te It's no secret that I'm a big sissy who is super afraid of heights. And I am definitely not an adventurous girl. So when it was my turn to ride the Outland Adventure Xcelerator last January, I begged off as I was too scared to go to the edge of the jump off point. SAD! But I promised my buddies Kuya Andrew, Blogie, and Winston that I will do it during the Davao FAT 2009. And so March 14 came... judgment day. I went to Outland Adventure again, this time with more than 20 other bloggers... from Davao City, Manila, General Santos, and Cagayan de Oro. Chickening out for the second time was not an option anymore. Would have been too embarrassing. :( So there I was with the harness strapped on, walked the almost kilometer trek with my friends, and one by one my companions had the thrill of their lives. Some shrieked (*ehem* Mr. RP!), some were calm, some were more daring than others (HANA!). When it was my turn, there were only three from our group who were left with me: Jeff, Chattee, and Fritz. (The four of…

Excited to Experience Abreeza
It is a known FACT that I am a big fan of the Ayala Malls. While in Manila, I am always (almost everyday) in Serendra or Greenbelt. Some people even tease me about it. So I am really excited that Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has finally invested in Davao City. In a join venture with Anflocor of the Floirendos. Today was the ground-breaking of the 10 hectare property where ALI and Anflocor is building a mall, and BPO buildings in a property development project called Abreeza. Of course I am more excited with the mall, than the BPO. I was there during the press conference and I am excited to share that Robinsons will be anchor store of Abreeza. I am crossing my fingers that Abreeza will be as great and homey as Serendra and Greenbelt. :) An Ayala executive kept on emphasizing that Abreeza will not just be a functional mall, but an experiential one. It won't open until the last quarter of 2010 but I AM SUPER EXCITED already! :D
Watch It, Badet
The lady standing in front of you is Ria Jose ang babaeng di mo pwedeng hawakan kasi baka di mo na bitawan from the Land of Durian and Waling-Waling, DAVAO CITEH! (The lady standing in front of you is Ria Jose girl you cannot hold because you might not let go of her from the Land of Durian and Waling-Waling, DAVAO CITEH!) I am totally stealing that line from Thank You Girls, a movie you must, must, must watch. It fun, funny, and light-hearted with some moments na nagmo-moment. The movie is full of LOL moments, especially the "question and answer portion" of the pageant. It's not just for the badets, it's for everybody. Plus, you get to pick up some very witty one-liners. :) Much love to Charliebebs Gohetia and the Davaoeño team that produced this fun film!!! So if you want to know the answer to this question: "If you are a teacher, how would you define the color violet to the visually-impaired?" watch the Thank You Girls, a Davao film, showing at the Robinsons Galleria IndieSine from September 24 to 30. Complete screening schedule available at THE Bakla's blog. Thank you girls! :D
Breakfast With A View
Sunday morning, after a long night of drinking and poker, the guys decided to go straight to our friend's house and stay there until the planned swimming get together in the afternoon. My friend lives in Orange Grove, Matina Pangi, some 15 minutes drive away from downtown Davao City. Upon arriving there, we ate some yummy hotcakes from McDonald's at the picnic kiosk some meters away from my friends house. The view was sooo nice and exhilarating. The breeze was a bit cool, and the air was fresh. Mount Apo is so beautiful, with mountains and forests around it. sHaaaayyyyyy... I'm gonna miss Davao!!! And I'm gonna miss my boys too. :( Orange Grove is a development project of Filinvest. This is NOT a paid post. KTHNXBAI!
