Davao Update

Before i came to Davao, Tita A. always bring Nanay to People's park for her daily dose of morning sun and exercise ( Nanay's exercise routine consists of flapping her hands in the air and walking around a tree for 2 mins :D). When i arrived i decided to join them in the park. We've only been there once last week because of the maintenance the management was doing after the holidays. It had been raining in Davao since yesterday so, we haven't walked around the park so far this week. There are a lot of interesting sculptures and fauna in the park which makes exercising easier.

Trivia: Nanay haven't gone around the park yet, she always stays in the middle near the benches. She's been going to People's Park almost everyday every time she's in Davao.

Blugre coffee with Tita A. and Ate Gaga. Davao doesn't have Starbucks. It was my first time to try Durian coffee, it wasn't bad, in fact i kinda liked it! :) Thanks Ate Gaga for the treat. Can't wait for Next time. hahaha :D Kidding!

With ate Hannah at a coffee shop in front of the park waiting for Kuya Kai before her check-up with the Ob-gyne. Last week was pretty busy with all the Doctor's appointments and Lab tests. By the way, i haven't announced that i'm going to be an Aunt soon. Yahoo.. My first ever nephew and sister-in-law. Whew! Time really flies. The surprise of the year was announced by Kuya Kai during our New Year celebration ( click HERE, to see the video), it came as a shock to everyone but a baby is always a blessing.

I still have tons of pictures in queue. Stay tuned for more updates. Have a blessed 2010 everyone.

Second day in Davao (December 30)

Dinner time

Tita A. wanted a picture with the Ageless sign

Let's pose while waiting...

Beauty pageant wave

I preferred to wait in the car

Between the cars

The pictures were taken at an inn and gasoline station in Davao. (December 30).These were taken after Tita A. and I shot our cooking video in the house and had to do some errands before we watched a movie with Nanay, the boys and Tita Gaga. I was happy that Kuya Kai was able to join us. He was and still is busy with work so I haven't spent time with him since i arrived in Davao. Looking forward to tomorrow for another beautiful day.

Happy New Year

I don't have a holiday that i look forward to, but i secretly wish to spend all of it with my loved ones. I was really looking forward to celebrating the New Year because i would be with my family here in Davao. It definitely made the list of my top favorite holiday celebrations.

We spent the whole day preparing for midnight. Tita A. was in charge of the cooking while i did the poster and collage of pictures of the family through the years. The boys were helping here and there while Nanay did her thing. ;)

We took tons of wacky group pictures and those above were some of the best ones.

I wish you were here, mom. I miss you.

*DAVAO*

At long last. I'm here in the land of promise, the home of the Philippine National bird and the most livable city in the Philippines, DAVAO CITY!!! (I give credit to Tita A. for the three Davao titles.)

I touched ground at around six in the morning of December 29, 2009. I wasn't able to sleep on the plane and was really excited the whole weekend for this trip. I am fifteen days behind schedule but thankful that it didn't take longer than that.

My first day in the city was fantastic! I am looking forward to the New year and the next few months with my Tita A., Kuya Kai, Gelo, Karl and Nanay. This would be fun! :)

Merry Christmas

Once again, we were bored and decided to make a Christmas video with us singing "Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko". It's abs-cbn's Christmas station ID theme song.

Of course, we weren't prepared for the first one and still weren't serious with our third try but, here it is. Hope you enjoy watching us have fun.

Merry Christmas!

CHOCOLATES DE CIELO

I'm so excited to write about this because i know my beloved Tita A. would get to read it.

I am currently enjoying my Tita A.'s "Chocolates de Cielo" and I love it! It's been a long time since i've tasted freshly brewed tsokolate. It reminds me of my gradeschool days when i would wake up to a mug of authentic tsokolate drink or champorado before going to school. I miss those carefree days when i don't have to worry about, for instance a JOB. hahaha :-) Any who, i just wanted to share my "chocolates de cielo" experience.

If you want to taste a heavenly healthy authentic tsokolate drink you can send my Tita A. a message at glazedbliss@gmail.com. She makes fresh home-made tsokolate bars in cute shapes ready for brewing.

Hope you're all having a wonderful evening! By the way, i'm not yet in Davao! ;)

Happy Holidays

Hello! Thank God for my fast recovery. I was sick for the past two weeks but thanks to the prayers of my family and friends plus the bitter tasting Chinese medicine of my doting grandmother, a few raw egg whites, fresh Buko juice and Muscovado sugar + water drink, i'm better and on the fast track to being my old self. I also found out that i have gastritis so, i'm laying low on my coffee drinks. My health condition was the culprit in postponing my long awaited trip to Davao, but no worries, i'm flying in on the 29th to celebrate the new years there. It would be really interesting to celebrate Christmas here in our Q.C. house, it has been years since i've been home for the holidays.

I wish you all good health and happiness this Christmas season! I hope to write my next blog entry in Davao.
