davao

had a brilliant trip in davao city over the long weekend. this trip was overdue by about a year. at the same time, needed some time off from all that is manila (darn stress associated with that place).
so i went saturday morning armed with just a backpack and just one thing to achieve: to relax. i didn't care if it was structured or unstructured, i just wanted to slow down my pace (at least for the next 3 days).
it was a great trip: seeing rays of the sun puncturing the clouds and hitting the mounatinside, breathing clean air, smelling (and tasting!) the salty sea, walking on a white sandy beach, eating great food, chilling out and hanging out & talking with friends. great for postcards, i tell you.
but of all these, i really enjoyed being with the people: very accomodating. i felt the warmth. they made it a really memorable stay. though it was short, they were my mentors/guides and friends at the same time.
i had fun, to say the least, and hope to do it again soon.
