4K Garden Resort

Me and some of my high school friends went to 4K Garden Resort at Catmon, Sta. Maria, Bulacan to commemorate our 10 years of friendship last May 19.  We went there at night to escape the scorching heat of Mr. Sun. The entrance fee is Php200 for adult and children (children whose height is 3 feet or below are free).  

My Church Visit on Holy Week 2012: Part 2

Here's the second part of our church visit during Holy Thursday.

8.  St. Pio Chapel - Libis
The picture you see above is the last station in St. Pio chapel.  We were supposed to visit the 8th station only but the majority decided to  visit every station in this chapel.  The interesting part of this visit is that every visitor who'll visit the stations will have to carry a wooden cross.  The size of the cross will vary to the body-size of the one who will carry it.  Also, slippers were not allowed so they will enter the station bare footed.

My Church Visit on Holy Week 2012: Part 1

This year, I decided to come along with my friends to visit churches last Holy Thursday to commemorate the life of Christ on his last days.  The plan was to visit churches from Argelito's hometown and then go to Laguna route. We will then visit one church per station, there are 14 stations so we visited 14 churches as well. So without further ado, below are the churches we visited.

Trip to Davao: The Last Day

The last day of my stay in Davao October 21.  My flight time was 2:30pm so I still have time to work.  I went to the remote site in Matina in the morning and stayed for an hour.  Afterwards, I went to the site in Davao Doctors Hospital. At around 11:30am we went to a marketplace named Bangkerohan.  I bought 2 1/2 kilos of pomelo and a durian weighing 2 kilos.  The edible part of the durian was taken off and placed in a plastic container that was sealed so that it won't smell.  The fruits were then placed in a box.  At lunch, we ate in a canteen besides the Davao Doctors College building.  One of the foods I ordered was lumpia which has a different color that I used to eat in Manila.

Trip to Davao: Day 4

Fourth day of my stay in Davao. I went to Davao Doctors Hospital in the morning and to Matina site in the afternoon.  During afternoon break time, we went to a local bakeshop which is located at the back of the hospital.  The bakeshop named Cecil's bakeshop.  We ordered two sweet breads, the chocolate eclair and cream puff.  The breads were made from the same kind of flour and fillings but the difference is the syrup on top.

Trip to Davao: Day 3

Day 3 of my stay in Davao.  I got a chance to go to the veranda of the Davao Doctors Hospital at the 11th floor.  From there you can see the view of the downtown city.  Below are some of the photos.

Trip to Davao: Day 2

The second day of my stay in Davao.  After the morning routine I went to the site located in Davao Doctors Hospital.  And on lunch, I ate a new dish.  It's called "guso", salad made from seaweeds.

Trip to Davao: Day 1 Part 2

After work, I went to my hotel and get myself ready for some trip.  The hotel that I stayed in is called Tower Inn.  I will stay there until Friday.  The room that I taken is single deluxe with a fee of Php850.

Trip to Davao: Day 1 Part 1

Note: This trip is sponsored by my company.  I'm a reliever and my duty is to monitor the equipment for 5 days.

First time going to airport, first time riding on a plane and first time travelling alone.  There are so many first time experiences here in this travel.  The trip was started yesterday, October 17.  I arrived in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminal 2 at pass 5 am.  My ticket says that I should be in terminal 3, not knowing that the place was terminal 2, so I ride the waiting shuttle bus to terminal. Again, not knowing that the shuttle bus is exclusive for PAL passengers (my airline is Cebu Pacific), I still ride the shuttle bus because the personnel allowed me.
