Antonio's in Tagaytay

Started with Antonio's House Salad (P280)

The beach

I'm so stressed and distressed, so I'm sharing my December.

This is Villa Amparo in Camudmud, Samal Island.

When R landed in Davao in time to celebrate New Year 2014, we got ahead of ourselves, hopped on a barge, and traveled to Samal Island and enjoyed the day traipsing beaches. My sister billeted us at Villa Amparo, a short thirty minute drive from the Samal port. Short that is, until the rough roads we had to take. I heard several scratches to the Vios my sister was driving.

Claude's

This is my new go-to restaurant in Davao City. It boasts to be the only authentic French cuisine in the heart of Davao. 
When we dined in Claude's on December 30, I found the place very homey, as it as a makeshift restaurant from a heritage house. Claude, the owner, was also there, thereby giving off a personal vibe. I liked how he roamed table-to-table asking us how our stay was, lingering just long enough for a small talk, and leaves us to enjoy our dinner. He told us his daughter is working in Makati, and was the other Filipino contending for The Apprentice Asia. Proud dad, he was.

Bluewaters

I love Davao City because in 15 minutes, you're at the beach already!

My untimely return to Davao last November 8-9 left me with days which I wanted to see the beach. So here we were at Samal. KC contacted the Bluewaters Resort through their local landline number: (082) 303 2618 and we were booked for the day.

Entrance fee is 150 PhP each.

Boat ride to and fro is PhP 400 (that's the price for the entire boat already).

It's only 15 minutes from mainland Davao. From Lanang going Sasa, we turned right at the first docking area, the same docking station where guests going to Pearl Farm are bound.

From here, we just called the number and they had us picked up though a private boat.

happily ever afters

Weddings are beautiful things. The start of happily-ever-afters. The realization of every little girls dreams. Being able to witness the union of couples who can't take their eyes off each other with such dreamy satisfaction, well, I can't help but be mesmerized as well. 

I've been to two (2) weddings within the past month. 

My heart

My heart, my heart
My heart, my heart My heart, my heart My heart, my heart
My heart, my heart
It said lubdubb
Then it died.

post scripts

To tie the rope around my neck
My own undoing.
I gasp for air, I can't reflect
My sanity is ruined.
