So, it's Kadayawan sa Davao, 2018. Of course, part of me being a "Dabawenyo", don't wanna miss out the wonderful kadayawan experience.  I just started enjoying the experience on a Friday night with Bamboo in Kadayawan Square. The next day was 'supposedly' a live serenade experience from ABS-CBN's Tawag ng Tanghalan Artists in Almendras Gym. Someone gave me VIP Tickets for two. When inside, the host set an expectation that the artists were coming. Everyone was excited. However, later on the show, after making us all wait for the said artists, the host announced that the artists cannot celebrate with us due to one circumstance - super DELAYED FLIGHT. The host said that he received a confirmation from Star Magic that they will cancel the appointment and just postpone it to some other day. Everyone was VERY disappointed.

We, the students from Saint John Paul II College of Davao just experienced a day of full of unexpected events, scenarios and situations from our specific subject in this year's curriculum, the NSTP -CWTS2 (National Service Training Program -Civic Welfare Training Services 2) Last March 15, 2015 (My Birthday as well :D ). A day to live a kind of life with them, the Badjao Tribes (People), a day of something for us to think about life has been a good life and a blessing, and rather than life as a very difficult challenge to anyone and for us, students. a day of immersion.

To serve, to give assistance and to become part of their lives for just at least half of t hat day. Yes, we will be going to the community that all the people who lived there are different from us, they are called Badjao People, a group of people where they got different practices, cultures and attitud...

"Masarap, malasa at nakaka-adik! " These words can be the best description of tasting and eating different varieties of street foods; tat includes  lumpia, siomai, kwek-kwek, balot, takoyaki, tempura, fries, barbeque and of course, who will ever forget, 'isaw',  but those are just small numbers of street foods that we can usually see not just on some common streets, but this kind of small time business can be found and located outside the schools most of the time. One of the trademark of being a Dabawenyo is that, you are eating this  'isaw', and of course the other common street foods, but this time, let us explore and discuss to you this what they called ' isaw' . -What is it by the way? Isaw is a Bisaya/Cebuano term Intestine  and Bitoka in Tagalog. It is basically from a chicken's intestine. It could be an excess part of the chicken that is barbeque purposes or and excess intestines from a chicken for disposal purposes but just happ...

If you are feeling bored, stressed, tired and even annoyed with your present environment and you just wanted to relax and unwind to help yourself stay cool and have a good vibes, I guess you're being out of reaching your own comfort zone and you got this kind of feeling like'nothing is better than this very stressful life'.... Relax, stay cool and always learn to give yourself a break. Just take a look with the picture below, it was taken last Month at Sta. Cruz Talikod, Island Garden City of Samal, specifically in one of the best tourist spot here in Mindanao Philippines - The Isla Reta Beach Resort. :) Good day!

Remembering my first time to visit the beauty of nature at Lake Agco in Kidapawan City, i...
