Weekly Update: Goodbye, August!

Want to know something crazy? It's already the start of -ber months! A part of me wants to make the time run slower but a part of me can't wait for December. Eeeep!

Last week wasn't really a good one for me. Le sigh. But, I'm glad that at least this week started on a good note.

Failed attempt to have dinner at Kikufuji last Friday. The place was full when we arrived so we ended up having dinner at Hana which is located at Little Tokyo.
Ate almost the whole day of Saturday. Well, I didn't really eat much because I was feeling too down to eat but majority of my time was spent inside a restaurant.
Attended our weekly Sales Clinic at the office. After the training, our Brand Manager treated us for lunch at Coffee Bean (yes, they have a cafe which is located at The Fort!). Thank you, Ms. Rubi! I had Roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes which was pretty good.
After lunch, me and Heidi met up with Dona at Tipple and Slaw because Heidi was craving for Smores while Dona wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, their freezer was broken so the desserts were not available. We ended up eating pizza. Yup, this was right after we had lunch.
Since they were still craving for Smores, we headed to Crisp 28th but now with Froi. Dona and Heidi ate Smores and shared a cake while me and Froi just had coffee. Can you believe I passed up on Japanese food and sweets?! Told you I wasn't in the mood to eat.
Watched Pixels. Aaahh, missing my childhood days! Don't you sometimes wish that you were still a kid playing PacMan or something? It was so much easier back then. A bruised knee is so much better than a bruised heart... Oh, what? Hahaha!

Had Paella Negra, Chorizo, and Sangria for dinner at Barcino. Gotta love their Sangria.
Sunday was basically spent on binge watching Revenge and some movies on HBO and Star Movies.

Monday was supposed to be my "I finally got to visit Pinto Art Museum" day but, unfortunately, that was once again postponed *sigh* Me and Froi ended up having lunch at Kebab Factory (located at SM Jazz), shopping at Glorietta, coffee at Starbucks, and dinner at Kanto Freestyle.

Well, that's how my weekend went. How about yours? :)

Samal, Davao

Davao

About a month or two ago, I went to Davao for the first time. It wasn't really a plan of mine to visit this summer but about two weeks prior the trip, my friend asked me to accompany him so I decided, why not? I stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights.

From Davao airport, we headed straight to the pier to take us to Samal Island. It's about a 15-minute boat ride from Davao City which costs around Php20.00/person. I'm not quite sure with the price though. It's been more than a month so please excuse my forgetful mind. Haha We took a day trip to Secdea Beach Resort (costs Php750/person) which was actually worth it since aside from being able to access the swimming pool and the beach, it also included a lunch buffet and who doesn't love buffet, right?

I have no picture of the four us riding the Flying Fish but can I just say... It HURTS. Hahaha! To think that we didn't even go THAT fast as per kuya. Buuut, what an experience that was. Wouldn't mind trying it again! When it was already night time, we headed to where we would be staying for two nights. It was a comfortable place to stay and the owner was very friendly too. We took the early flight to Davao so after dinner, we were pretty tired already so we headed straight to bed.

On the second day, I was planning to wake up early to catch the sunrise but I wasn't able to (not a surprise). I have accepted the fact that no matter how hard I try, I am not a morning person. It's a good thing that the resort had their own boat transfer so it was very convenient for us to transfer from Samal to Davao and vice versa.

I loooove seafood! We were supposed to have lunch at the eat all-you-can shrimp and crabs but we were told that the shrimps and crabs at Blue Post Boiling Crabs and Shrimps are yummier. So, we decided to have lunch there and it did not disappoint.

I love the overall ambiance of the place and the fact that you can write anywhere - yes, even in their aircon or projector. While we were there, a man started writing on the projector and all I could think of was how expensive a projector is and he was just writing on it in permanent marker. Haha oh, I saw Tulfo while we were there too.

After lunch, we walked to SM Lunang since it was just walking distance from the restaurant. It's basically the same as the ones here in Manila. Uhm, duh Miera.

We were trying to look for a massage place in the area and ended up at Pressure Point which was quite expensive I have to say. It was a good massage though and I like how their locks are magnetic. Yup, that was cool.

Since we still had to catch the boat ride back to the resort (rides were only until 5:00 PM), we hurried back to the pier right after our massage. Upon reaching the resort, we went swimming for a while then had dinner. The next day we had to go back to Manila already. Boo!
