       Tawsuvan Eco-Resort is an eco-resort at the foot  of Mt. Apo.It has a beautiful falls in a   rain forest. This has also been a camping ground for the climbers of Mt. Apo and for other tourists. It was an adopted place by the University of Southern Mindanao wherein they beautify and improved the place as well as construct some amenities to it. Below is the beautiful falls of Tawsuvan Eco-resort.           Since Tawsuvan is at the foot of Mt. Apo, it is on a higher ground with a cooler temperature. That is why a lot of campers are in here during summer and stays here for a couple of days. As an observation, they brought along their tents, their air bed, some cooking wares and a lot of food. Of course, they did not forget to bring along thick clothes, jackets, socks and blankets to fight the cold.        If you want to go at the top of the falls, you could do so but be sure that you are physic...

     Our last stopover in our field trip with the kindergarten students was at Kathleen's place in Cannibad, Samal. Cannibad which is famous for being a secret paradise in Samal has this modern resort known as "Kathleen's Place". It was owned by a retired German soldier who was married to a Filipina from our hometown. He had been very accommodating to us and gave us discounts. The standard entrance fee in Kathleen's Place is P50 per person, tent rental with beddings is P350 and this cottage is P2,000 per night.                       I like Cannibad for having a very solemn beach. It is not crowded and the beach is very clean and well preserve. Even at night, the place is so peaceful wherein there are no noisy parties, karaoke noise and noise of alcohol drinkers. It is just like being in a remote island.                The only common feedback of...

       As part of the field trip I had with the kindergarten students, our third destination is Crocodile Park. It is located in the Diversion Road, Davao City. The regular entrance fee is P350 pesos but since we are so many we paid only P100 per person.           Not only live crocodiles from young to adult could be seen here but an exhibit of their skeletons is being displayed as well. I think the skeleton of Pangil would still be bigger than this.           This is Pangil, 200 million years survivor, as what it was described is the main attraction of the park. It was the biggest crocodile you could see at the park wherein it is the only crocodile on its cage and situated near the entrance of the park. During my visit, I really spend a lot of time looking at Pangil. Since it was the day of cleaning its cage, I was amazed by the courage shown by the cleaners who went inside the cage while Pangil is wa...

      Aside from beaches, luxury hotels and entertainment establishments, watching sports game is also relaxing and full of fun. It may be football, basketball, tennis and soccer games, it will surely caught your attention and you would probably cheer for your chosen team or player. Die-hard fans even travel to different places just to support their chosen player. Fortunately, Ticketamerica.com has buffalo bulls tickets , butler bulldogs tickets ,  byu cougars tickets and other sports game tickets. So why not reserve a ticket, relax and watch a game.

      In my last post, I had been in a field trip with the little kindergarten students and our second destination had been Butterfly House. It is located in Diversion Road, Davao City. It is near to the famous Crocodile Park which had been our next destination. The entrance fee here is only P30 but I am not sure if this is a discounted fee, because we are too many, or a regular fee. Since there is no regular route for public transportation that would pass into this place, you must take a taxi to go in here. It may cost you around 100-200 pesos.  butterflies feeding themselves      It was my first time to be in a Butterfly House and the experience was so wonderful. When I was a child I would assume that butterflies are fairies and being in a Butterfly House seemed I was taken to Fairyland. There had been a lot of different species of butterflies and they were so beautiful to look at. perfect shot       ...

          When I was young, Gap Farm is my most unforgettable place here in Davao. My mother brought me here when I was a kid and I couldn't forget all the beautiful spots in here. Few weeks ago, my brother-in-law who has a kindergarten school brought their students here for their field trip. My husband and I joined them and assist them as well. Here are some of the pictures we have taken.           Upon entering Gap Farm, you would be welcome by these huge statue of a farmer riding his carabao. Funny thing, the carabao is also urinating. Don't get wet by it.  Me and my hubby at the back of the statue. My husband's nieces having a jump shot at the statues of Philippine  animals. From the logo itself, Gap Farm existed since 1973. Davao: Land of Promise           I had a great time at Gap Farming Resort.  It is very much accessible with its location at Divers...

      Public Speaking is not my forte that I really admired people who could take up the stage and say what they want in a large crowd. Sales people are very good at it that in fact even if the product is not that good, they could still sell it with their effective persuasion through speaking. It is amazing how they could persuade some clients to buy their product in one transaction only. I consider that skill as a gift. For me,  it would take a lot of nerves for me to do that thing. Public Speaking for me is a struggle to fight my nervousness, tremble of the body  and lost of voice. That is why I admire people who could do it.       In a travel expo in one of the malls here in Davao, I was amazed by how the organizers and the host facilitate the event. Different people came up to the stage to promote the travel agency, airlines, hotels, resorts and other agencies of which they represent. They are so good at entertaining the crowd. They have g...
