Walang Kwentang Post

Since I went to Manila for work last 2006, I never had the opportunity to go back home to celebrate Christmas with my family in Davao. Medyo matagal na din pala akong nawala sa lupang kinalakihan ko. After almost 7 years absence, finally I got the chance... TODAY, as in ngayon lang! Though we don't really celebrate Christmas  like before; with exchanging of gifts, Christmas carols, the house to house carolling with my friends, Santa Claus and stuff. This time its different. We just had dinner with the entire family. Well, not really the whole family, except my sister is with her husband's family. Sad thing though but we need to deal with it. Hayyy.. Kakalungkot!

Anyways, today I got the chance to roam around Abreeza Mall. Its actually one of the newest mall in Davao owned by Ayala. One of the biggest in Davao as well. Its a nice place, I can actually compare it to Greenbelt in Makati. At first, there are few people who were inside the mall. Its not the same as the other malls here in Davao where people queued at the entrance doors. The ambiance is quite different as well. Its very welcoming and the space is quit refreshing. 

Anyways, dahil sa tinamad daw akong mag straight english sa blog ko akong umuwi sa bahay namin, I explore the deepest part of the Mall, Ala Dora the Explorer. And take note, with matching back pack pa ha. (Pinagmamayabang ko lang daw talaga ang bag ko na sponsored by The North Park Face. Lols


Fast Forward....

A few things that caught my attention while roaming around:
  • Mukha mayayaman ang karamihan namamasyal sa mall na ito. (Patawad po sa mga hindi mukhang mayaman, isa na ako dun. Maling mall po ata ang pinuntahan natin?). Joke! Syempre mayayaman ang taga-Davao.
  • Wala masyadong pumapasok sa mga stores na pangalan lang nang paninda nila ang binabayaran.
  • At last may Fridays at Itallianis na sa Davao.. wahahahaha..
  • Napag alaman ko na kung bakit walang pumapasok masyado sa mga stores na medyo may kamahalan ang tatak, kasi lahat sila nasa loob ng Starbucks. Na sa mga oras na ito ay jampack pa rin. Nung umakyat ako sa cinema, wala masyadong nanuod ng movie na palabas ngayon ang mga entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival. All of them are inside the Starbucks. Huwaw! 
  • Ngayon ko lang napag tanto na mahilig na din pala sa kape ang mga taga-Davao. Ayos! Thanks Starbucks. Paging Coffee Bean and Seattles Best. (May Bos Coffee na kasi dito). 
So there! Thank God for a wonderful Christmas. It was a blessing and happy to be with my family.

 Have a blessed Christmas everyone!!!

2012 is about to end... I would like to say "thank you" for being part of my 2012. You make it memorable for me.  As we are about to end this year, may God bless each and everyone of you with good health, peace of mind and a better and bright future.  This year, Ive gained a lot of things. I gained new friends and lost some. gained trust and respect from people that I never expected and lost trust and relationship to people who I cared friends. I never regret every decisions I made in 2012 as it made me a better person and will always be. I've win a lot of battles and lose some... but life must go on... Cheers to 2013! And may the abundance of our Mighty Lord be upon you.

November 1 na ba???

Seen a ghost? Well, try to check the picture above. Ang larawan na ito ay kuha po sa loob ng kwarto namin ngayong umaga pagkagising. Try to look closely at door in the living room. Ilapit mo mukha mo sa monitor mo tapos idilat ang mga mata mo... see a man standing at the door staring in our room holding something? That's what I'm talking about... Bisita namin yan...That is the reason why I have been experiencing something different in this apartment. Afraid? Well, fear not! they don't do any harm. Lol. Maagang pananakot lang? Ganyan?

Oh na na, Whats My Name?

 I REALLY HATE MY NAME. dyuk! Seriously, I really don't like my name that much. Why? Tinatanong pa ba yan? For me kasi my name is so common. Madami akong kapangalan. Gusto ko kasi wala akong kapangalan eh. Gusto ko nagiisa lang ang name ko. Like for example, when I had my Masters may ka name ako na Alex (girl). So kapag tinatawag ang Alex napapatayo kaming dalawa kasi di  namin alam kung ako ba o yung girl ang tinatawag. Nakakainis diba.. pero mas gusto ko na siya ang tawagin haha.. Ayaw ko kasi ang oral recitation ehh.. Lol. If given a chance at kapag mayaman na ako, I might change my name into something different. Yung hindi common maybe starts with letter "Z" like Zandro, Zabel, Zeebeedee, Zuma (di pala common ha!?) or maybe starts with "X" like Xavier (marami nga lang kapareho) o di naman kaya a name that starts with Ñ. Astig diba? Pero honestly gusto ko talaga na name nag start sa letter "J". Ewan ko kung bakit pero pa...
