Rakista sa MTS

Currently, I had spent 5 days of my home leave here in Davao and I must say that there had been so many changes in the past 2 months that I had been away.

Examples:

The billboard and commercial building at Ulas.



Jollibee beside CALTEX, still at Ulas



McDonalds branch at NCCC Mall of Davao



My December 25 was spent on the following activities: Watching a movie and nightlife (which was lacking from my company's residence). My friends and I decided to watch Praybeyt Benjamin because it was fun (daw). At first you would get upset because you have to join the long line before going inside the cinema, but if you start seeing the movie itself, all your drained energy and frustration from falling in line pays off. 

However, I was disappointed because all of the cinemas in the country shows "Filipino Only" movies. Hence the term: Metro Manila Film Festival. Although it boosts nationalism, the Philippine film industry should also make the movie (which costs 3 american dollars), worth watching. 

FYI: We're decades behind the technology that other countries use to make their films. Urrgh.

I was a frequent mall goer when I was young, and I can say that mall goers today are different from the ones I saw back then. Today, I saw a lot of foreign nationals walking amongst Filipinos. A sight that I only saw when I was having my vacation in Cebu. A reason for this trend is because of urbanization in Davao. Nowadays, there are a handful of condominiums and housing that are available for people to live in. DAVAO IS TRULY AMAZING! Life is really here!!


After watching the movie, we headed for the ANNEX building of SM and we saw a show near the giant christmas trees featuring pretty fairies, cosplayers, and mascots of different fastfood chains dancing and singing to the tune of the Christmas season. As I was also observing the place, there were plenty of cute, and handsome men roaming around the place.

"How did Davao City become a haven of beautiful men?" I thought to myself. After the show, the public was allowed to have pictures with the crew of the show. I quickly grabbed my camera and shot the cute candy guys among the crowd. Here they are. :)



(sweet and delicioso)


Later that day, we decided to go to MTS and spend the night drinking liquor and enjoy the wonderful music that I missed when I was away.. We ended up at Taboan inside MTS. We were near the stage that time so we can have a clear view of the band performing that night. Immediately, my eyes met with one of the band member. The one wearing glasses and holding the guitar. His aura is so, so manly. His testosterone levels are 100% guaranteed.

His family was watching him all throughout the performance. I can't help but stare at him while he plays with his guitar, and my fixed gaze was so "piercing" that he too, glances back at me. (waaah! kinikilig ako!!) I must know his name!!





Guys! If you happen to know the band's name, or that guy's name, please let me know ASAP. LOL.
I guess that's all for now. Merry Christmas to all of you my dear readers/followers. We had survived a year of still hiding in the closet. Till next year! Lovelots. Keep safe.

Bound for Davao

Finally. After long days of working far from home, I can finally avail my home leave and spend the holidays in Davao.

I miss Davao so much. I miss the city lights, the humming of cars, the smell of industrial progress.  Words can't explain how much joy I feel right now even though it's just going to be 7days..

Agenda:

1) Eat at Jollibee near PETRON station at ULAS. I heard they had a new store opened there.

2) Finally meet-up with my skype buddy, Mr. N. What's there to lose right?

3) Enjoy night life and partying with friends.

4) Bring my slr camera wherever I go and capture snapshots of cute guys roaming around the city.

5) Spend a relaxing day at the beach

6) Download movies and tv series as much as possible!! (Aside from the fact that internet connection here is so slow, I feel that it isn't secure. They also have a firewall that keeps me from viewing 'the forbidden' sites. Major lifestyle adjustment on my part. LOL)

This sudden rush of excitement inside me also made me sleepless today. (I usually sleep half of my day during sundays).

Bound for Davao tomorrow. See you guys when I see you. Keep safe! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
