Davao City Tour

We had a class Saturday to make-up for missed classes in Neuroscience and Clinical Pathology. I got up late and ended only sitting in on Dr. P's lecture on the Thyroid. He was supposed to lecture us on Serum Special Proteins but he saved Tuesday's lecture instead. Haha. Tumatanda na si Docky. Haha.

Anyway. Class ended early at 11:35am. Jarnel and I were to study at Googley Bear's apartment to spend our time wisely but she forgot to bring her Surgery book and she decided not to go through our academic plans. Studying without Jarnel just wasn't the same. Without her usual weird antics, GB and I fell asleep as soon as we were done with our lunch. Yeah, you call that the Baboy Syndrome. I woke up at 3:45pm. GB was still asleep so I left for home without waking him up. The hour-long ride home was plain boring (that's the reason I always ride the jeepney with perky Jarnel). I didn't have nothing to do whilst on the jeep so I decided to take hpotos of Davao and make it into one picture-filled entry. So here goes.

This is GB sleeping. Hahahaha. It was a shame to disturb him in his slumber.

 Entrance to China Town...

 Marco Polo Hotel. Ito na ang tallest building sa city at 18 floors lang. 

 Pati sa buong Mindanao, ito tallest. Hehe.

 

 Sangguniang Panlungsod.

 San Pedro Cathedral. Malaki yan, di lang halata sa kuha ko.

 Capitol ng Davao. Wehe. Since 1950s pa ang gusaling ito.

 Parang Coron ng Cebu lang ang Davao sa shot na ito.

 San Pedro Street. Davao's Aorta.

 Matagal-tagal narin itong Jollibee rito. Sa kabilang kanto kasi eh McDo.

 Await ko parati ang pag-traffic sa San Pedro Street dahil sa K-World.

 May LCD screen kasi na nagpapa-play ng Korean Music Videos na rinig 

 within a 20-meter radius. Naka play noon ang "Love Like This" ng SS501.

 Traffic. Nakaka-Badtrip.

 Quirino Avenue. Lahat ata ng siyudad sa Pinas may Quirino Avenue.

 Hi sister...

 Bonggang Sunglasses ni Ate.

 Clock Tower along Pichon Street aka Magallanes Avenue.

 Clock Tower and Davao Doctors Hospital sa background.

 Davao City lang ang may 911 sa labas ng USA at Canada.

 Davao is a Melting Pot of Cultures. Ona  side note, di uso rito ang GMA. 

 Sorry Ding-Dong. At talagang si Regine ang katambal mo??? Haler!!!

 Davao Bridge. Di halatang bridge...

 Aking Alma-Mater.

 Pati McDo, tila kabuti, kung saan-saan sumusulpot.

 Heto, nagsusulputang parang kabuti ang mga coffee shops.

 Davao was cleanest city in the Philippines for 5 consecutive years.

 

 NCCC Mall.

  Nagka-Comeback ang Karnabal ngayon. Ewan. 

  Patok-na-patok ito kay Jarnel. Suicidal ata yung bata.

 

 Paakyat ang daan. Pag kaskasero yung mamang driver dito, 

 parang naka rollercoaster ka lang.

 Cute yang mga Waling-Waling lamp posts pag gabi.

 Intersection papuntang SM Davao South. Bakit may South?

 Kasi tinatayo na ang SM Davao North which will be 3x larger.

 Downslope...

 Mac Arthur Highway.

 Like ko mga market sa Davao kasi malinis.

 Ehem. USP kayo, hindi UP.

  Ma-traffic na eh alas-quatro pa lang ng hapon.

 Jollibee and Matina Centerpoint.

 Kanto Matina Aplaya.

 Umuusbong na ang mga ganitong mga establishments.

 Road papuntang village.

 Si Kuya trike driver na sinakyan ko after alighting from the jeep.

Sayang, nag-antay na lang sana ako makarating sa intersection (see below).

 Ang jeep na nasakyan ko.

 Antayan ng tricycle.

 Mini market before the bridge.

 To the bridge.

 Si Kuya Cute.

 Si Kuya Cute na motor driver. Ehhheeeeee. Sayang nakatalikod.

 Uhm, polluted river under the bridge.

 Hehehe. Siya yung poging motor driver. Wehe.

 The main road of our village.

  Yung gate na orange ang gate eh kina Ampatuan.

  The church just a 5-minute walk from our house. 

  Yet I've not heard Mass for a long time.

  Our house. And the vacant lot beside it.

   My mother's work. She has the green thumb in the family.

 My human progenitors.

 Uncle ko and my sister on Skype.
