I'm giddy with excitement because the next part of the Davao Food Trip will be tomorrow, lunch time at Caffe Vivere. Me, Kuya Andrew, Gwing, Blogie, and Winston will enjoy these... Braised Short Ribs Chicken Ballantine Decadent Chocolate Cake ...and hopefully, more. YUMMY! I hope they will serve us their uber-yummy red iced tea. :)

What Have I Been Up To?

I know, I know. My personal blog *ehem*THIS ONE*ehem* has been quite boring. I haven't been all emo and angsty. And I haven't been really excited about anything either. Not that my life is boring. On the contrary, my life has been very HECTIC. For one, I have been building my own business. It's a consultancy and events firm. Initially, it was formed to accommodate the consultancy work I have been doing, and to market some IT events here in Davao City. Luckily, somebody mistakenly finally asked me to be a co-coordinator of their wedding. I have been waiting for this chance. While it is very stressful, I find it very exciting and fulfilling. So now, I am focusing on promoting and providing customized wedding coordination services, and I have been getting a lot of inquiries. I already have my first real client. YEY! Somebody also hired me to be their wedding reception's emcee. So again, YEY! And I've been promoting my new business via my blog, and I have just earned my very first cents from it. LOL! Another thing I've been busy with giving talks. So far, I have been to Marbel to talk about Internet Marketing and…

My Speed Dating Experience

Last Friday, I hurried to Caffe Vivere at around 7 pm for the speed dating event. I. WAS. LATE. When I arrived, I saw three guys, two of them were already my friends. After a while, the other participants arrived. Meantime, me and my guy friends chatted while eating some food. I wanted to eat more but I was you know... trying not too eat too much. LOL! I also had some of their fabulous iced tea. YUMMY! I was kinda worried though because as moments passed by, more and more guys started arriving. It was kinda intimidating to be the only girl. Good thing other girls also started arriving after a while. Peculiar thing though, some participants arrived in twos, but according to them they're not a couple. ANYWAY... Around past 8 pm, there were enough participants to get the ball rolling. So there I was, armed with my score sheet and the #4. I took my seat and got to meet bachelor #4. After eight minutes... came bachelor number #5. At the end of the thing, I got to meet eight guys. All of them were interesting... but in different ways, and at different levels. Would I consider…

Challenge: Audition!

For the longest time, I have wanted to be part of an Indie film. Ok so, once upon a time, I did want to be an actress. LOL! So anyway, I figured being in an Indie film would fulfill my dream of being an actress while not really putting myself out there in the open to be criticized and all. So when I say the Open Casting Call for a Visayan Indie Film in Multiply, I was very ecstatic. I was dismayed, however, upon learning that they needed males and gays for all the part. AMF! Then again I saw this role... ALLYSON Transvestite, 25-28 years old (he is 33 years old in the film but should look younger than his age), with boobs Before you start wondering... I am not a transvestite. But I am 25 years old and *ehem*I DO HAVE BOOBIES!*ehem* So, yeah, on February 22, 2008, I am going to audition for "The 'Thank You' Girls." I am not proud to say that I have been pestering Yam about it. I don't know him personally, but that didn't stop me from texting him, inquiring about the film and all that stuff. :D My guy friends told…

Friday Afternoon at the Davao Crocodile Park

Thursday, Kuya Andrew asked for ideas where he could take his friend Shawie the following day. Shawie was flying in to Davao City from Manila, for a wedding. I suggested we go to Eden Nature Park and try out their zip line. The most popular animal during the Animal Encounter Friday afternoon, we went to the ticketing office and found out that 4 pm was too late to go to the park to enjoy the zip line. So we decided to go to the Davao Crocodile Park instead. And we weren't disappointed. Shawie enjoyed looking, interacting with, and taking pictures with all the animals. Kuya Andrew and I, on the other hand, were freaked out and were content just taking photos from a comfortable distance. Shawie and the albino python It was a fun-filled afternoon that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the Bengal Tigers. I hate cats, and I am afraid of tigers and lions. But the Bengal Tigers were so cute!!! During the animal encounter, the female host was sooo annoying. Not only did she mispronounce every other word, she did enunciate anything clearly. GRAWRRR! Me and the buzzard which the host called a boozzard More photos: And... The…
