Summer will never be complete without dipping in a pool or heading to the beach. I love swimming but I hate getting dark, I know right? ang orte orte ko, mahirap kaya magputi! at ang sabi nila nakakawrinkles if you stay too long under the sun. So, wake up early and wake-up the entire family with you! And when I say early 5:30 in the morning. Since our destination for the weekend is the Japanese tunnel along diversion road-- a 10minute drive away from our house I woke them up at around 7:00 am, 3 hours is more than enough for soaking, sun bathing or play time with your kids.
Before heading to the pool pay Php.100.00 Adult, Php.100.00 kids at the Lobby, they accept Debit, Credit and Cash.
i love it when I'm the first person to use the pool.
Adult pool (4ft), just look at that giant bucket of water pour over hubby, parang ang sakit tignan!! But he said it felt good and he enjoyed it daw!!
kiddie pool(2ft) with slides and giant buckets too (and I mean giant, this thing is almost the size of a smartcar, fills up and then dumps on happy people below ). Before we left I saw 2 kids scared out of their wits, yeah the giant buckets are a little intimidating for toddlers so make sure you swim with your kiddo.
make sure to pose for souvenir shots with your fambam
My Jia, having a blast with all the water splashing around her.
Chocolatier at Abreeza Ayala was a hit and miss experience.
Hit!! Scone, these delectable quick bread will have you at the edge of your seats. Dip it in chocolate, cream and/or cranberry sauce. Be careful as it breaks off easily, you can dunk it with your fingers or use your fork and knife to cut it in pieces before dipping it. I love the chunks of chocolate in it, hmm sarap I think this treat made my visit worthwhile the best part it's only Php. 158.00!
MISS!! Surprisingly?! the Chocolatier sandwiches, OMG we waited for an hour for those phrellamoosh sandwiches. Parang kumain kami ng tinapay sa bakery ng nilagyan ng chicken breast and a drizzle of chocolate. Hope they improve the presentation and taste of the sandwiches.
But definitely I'll recommend scones!

Maybe I was Vietnamese in my past life, I can eat any Vietnamese food in front of me, OKEY, actually any food for that matter. This one's worth spending at 450++ you get this Spring Roll Platter at Hanoi.
You have three different spring rolls and chicken sate on one platter, generous servings of green leafy vegies that will surely bring out that vegetarian in you . Dip your rolls on three flavorful sauces to add sweetness, spiciness and saltiness to this Hanoiness(lolz) experience.

Free food tasting, one of the perks of my job. I'm not complaining but honestly I gain so much weight saying YES to all the invitations we get from new restaurants, hotels and/or those hole on the wall food joints. Who wouldn't? You don't want to pass on an opportunity to eat good food right? What more can I ask for? I'm blessed with the best job in the world.
Enough said, this week I'm taking you to EY'sTuna Davao, if you're looking for a place that can cook tuna the way you like it, Ey's is the place to be. It's the "healthier Choice" since tuna is very rich in omega 3. Ey's is a seafood haven, they serve (quoting the advert on 105.9 MIXFM radio)"crispy crablets, crispy kangkong, may fried tuna buntot, may panga, may sizzling bihod at baagaybay at yung pinaka paborito ko, yung deep fried tuna belly with sobrang daming garlic. Tsaka, actually, pwede mong ipaluto ng kahit anong gusto mong style yung ulam nila. Hanggat kaya ng cook nila lutuin, lulutuin nila. Personalized cooking daw yun eh".

Oh how I miss Southern Style. It's been 3 years but it seems like yesterday when we first shot the first episode. Let me try to upload some of the episodes here.
It's really funny now, how I mispronounced "southern" and unknowingly aired it on this episode yikes!! When we aired this episode, me and my team were the happiest, we just can't believe how we made it happen. We even went to Ana Caguiat's house one the executive producers of this show to watch it with everybody. It's a proud moment worth remembering. My pc is running on windows ice age and I'm still waiting for the rest to upload, for now give this segment a watch and I assure you it will make you a very proud Dabawenyo.:)
Amazing how we came up with this show when most of us knows nothing about TV production. You will see in this segment how amateur the hosts were. However, we were all motivated to make this show a reality. Smile Lee (the guy on the yellow shirt) .
Drew:) we miss you!!
I will try upload more episodes in the coming weeks or days. Enjoy and spread the love! Proudly davao made:)

Here's a fresh track from B.O.B ft. Tayor Swift called Both of Us, not that I'm in love with B.O.B's songs but it just so happen that the guy released two new tracks and it's on MIXFM's playlist. Be the first to sing along with this hit in the making.
B.o.B – Both Of Us Lyrics
[Taylor Swift - Chorus] I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[B.o.B] Ever thought about losing it When your money’s all gone and you lose your whip You might lose your grip when the landlord tell ya that you due for rent And the grass so green on the other side Make a n-gga wanna run staight through the fence Open up the fridge ’bout 20 times But you still can’t find no food in it That’s foolishness And sometimes I wonder, why we care so much about the way we look, and the way we talk and the way we act and the clothes we bought, how much that cost? Does it even really matter? Cause if life is an uphill battle We all tryna climb up the same ol’ ladder In the same boat, with the same ol’ battle Why so shallow? I’m just asking What’s the pattern for the madness Everybody ain’t a number one draft pick Most of us ain’t hollywood actors But if it’s all for one, and one for all Then maybe one day, we all can ball Do it one time for the underdogs Sincerely yours, from one of yall
[Taylor Swift - Chorus] I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[B.o.B] I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle You just wanna live, been everything so low That you could drown in a b? That’s why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up For all the times no one ever spoke for us To every single time that they play this song You can say that that’s what Bobby Ray wrote for us When the tides get too high And the sea up underneath get so deep And you feel like you’re just another person Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleed Uh, because we won’t be near yet, both of us But we still stand tall with our shoulders up And even though we always against the odds These are the things that’ve molded us And if life hadn’t chosen us Sometimes I wonder where I woulda wound up Cause if it was up to me, I’d make a new blueprint Than build it from the ground up, hey But if it’s all for one, and one for all Then maybe one day, we all can ball Do it one time for the underdogs From Bobby Ray, to all of y’all
[Taylor Swift - Chorus] I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Leave The Lights On
We're in the dark, it's getting late
I really should go, he's waiting for me
We both know it's not what it seems
We both know it's between the sheets
I know that it's a secret and that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on, yeah I want the lights on
And I don't wanna run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
What would they say, what would they do?
Would it be trouble if they knew?
I'm trying hard to make you see
All that you are is all that I need
I know that it's a secret and that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on, yeah I want the lights on
And I don't wanna run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
I know that it's a secret and that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on, yeah I want the lights on
And I don't wanna run away anymore
Leave the lights on, leave the lights on
Let it out, let it out, let it out
Let it out, let it out, let it out
I know that it's a secret and that I gotta keep it
But I want the lights on, yeah I want the lights on
