Christmas '12 PhotoWalk with Davao Bloggers

-
            Just my feet and my camera. Thats all i need to make a day christmassy remarkable. Last Dec 22, 2012 I was able to experience my first photo walk featuring all christmas lightings and attractions that can bee seen in Davao City. Thanks to Davao Bloggers and Officers for the open invitation. Me and my co bloggers had a chance to take photographs from some of the creative floats and costumes of Lamdag Parada 2012 along Roxas Street, highlighted with Drum and Bugle Parade. Afterwards, we walked and headed to People's Park where dancing fountain was featured too. A gallery of Christmas Parol amazed me as everything was made from recycled materials. How creative Dabawenyos are! 

        Feeling a bit hungry, we headed to Hudyakaan sa Kapaskuhan along Bolton extension in the metro. There,  we dined for a while. Bbq feast it is!  Spent an hour maybe for  more chit chats while we were resting our feet from the long walk. We then proceeded to take more shots of the festive lights of the City Hall of Davao then took random shots of people and street photography. undeniably my legs were sore already, we wrapped up our photo walk with a Davao's best signature halo halo treat from Aling Foping's located at MTS Davao. Indeed was yummy.

        Sharing with you a few of my favorite shots from the photo walk experience...

Thank you Davao Bloggers for making  me experience this festive Christmas event!

Who says you cant put together a delightful coffee fix, good food and art?  SPARK COFFEE+CRAFTS  is not just your ordinary cafe in the streets of Marfori. In Davao, there may be a hundred and more cafes to choose from when all you wanted to do is to release stress after a days work. During the last leg of DDI's month long Davao food crawl, i was happy to find myself sitting in this really artsy cafe and being able to try out their food offerings is heaven! While waiting for the food, I took photos of the cafe to  show you whats inside Spark Coffee + Crafts. this cafe is owned by 5 cousins who at first was into arts and crafts  and  selling it online but later on decided to venture into owning up their own cafe where people cannot  just sit and have coffee alone but to also have an artsy experience  because Spark hold art workshops once in a while. Ive heard about Spark for quite sometime already but it is only until las weekend that i was able to visit the

Mom in her kitchen. See what ’ s cooking, too!   In the kitchen, recipes are passed to the next . The heir is always that wide-eyed kid watching in awe of how fast mom can whip up a family favorite, a recipe she inherited herself from grandma.    There are secrets mom will pass on to the heir —  a secret ingredient, an unknown process and the most basic rule: a well-organized kitchen. Everything should be in its place and within easy reach, it speeds up the preparation.    As secrets are passed on from one generation to the next, the kitchen keeps evolving.
