Day 184 - From the Top

It was cloudy (and sometimes raining, hence the umbrellas) the whole day on our first day in Davao that we didn't feel like swimming at all in the beautiful beach and swimming pools of Pearl Farm Beach Resort. Instead, we rode the electric car and went around the island. The driver of the electric car was very nice. He offered to take this photo of us. :)

In this photo, me, my dad and my aunts are at the top of a hill in Samal Island (where Pearl Farm Beach Resort is located). The cheapest rooms are located here on account of they're not "beach front" and are very far from the restaurant and swimming pool area, but you do get the view, which as you can see, is spectacular.

P.S. Pearl Farm Beach Resort was still in Christmas mode when we got there, hence the partial bamboo Christmas tree in the background. (However, on the day that we left, I saw some people disassembling said trees.)

Day 183 - Family and Holy Family

I put off taking a photo of our house's belen, thinking there'd be plenty of days to do it, but as is per usual with procrastination, I ran out of time, and now this is the only picture of it that I have. And it's got us in it. Not that that's a bad thing. And BTW, we only took this because some of us would be leaving for Davao soon and we knew that the belen wouldn't be there anymore by the time we got back. Christmas season is over. :(

In fact, this was taken just after the "Christmas is over" party we had at our house AKA New Year's Day Party Take 2, which we only had this year because when it was actually New Year's Day, my aunt and uncle were overseas (Macau, specifically). Also, since I'm in the picture, I should give credit to the person who took this photo, my brother's girlfriend M.

Day 182 - Hat/Torotot

A leftover from the New Year stuff, this is a party hat/torotot. I don't know what the English word is for torotot so I will just say that if you blow it it makes noise. And it looks silly when you put it on your head. WTH feathers!

Day 181 - ₱5 Book

Although I love watching science fiction shows (and Robotech is one of my all-time favorite animes) I'm not really fond of reading books based on TV shows. But... I had to make an exception for this one because, well, because it's Robotech. Though I've actually never read a Robotech novel before, I guess I miss the series so much that I'm willing to give this a try. Plus, it was only P5.00. Can you believe it? I didn't think you could still buy books at that price, even second hand ones, but I guess you can. Also, when I opened it somewhere in the middle, the short part I read was exactly the part where Max and Miriya met, which was the exact scene that endeared me to the anime in the first place. :)

Day 180 - New Year Graffiti

As I live in the Philippines, New Year is celebrated with fireworks and other such inclined stuff like sparklers. Sometimes, those sparklers can be used to write on concrete. And so every New Year, just because I can, I write our names on the street in front of our house. They're erased after a day or so, but the fun really is in writing them.

Happy New Year Everyone!
