(Sep 28, 2013) When I left Davao January this year, I felt defeated. I had no intention of coming back. But life, as always, threw a curve ball that got me aborting my scheduled stint in Siargao to be back in Davao. But it's a different Davao this time. That's something I like about a place - it's never the same way twice....more »» Wine and Cheese at Malagos Farm House (Sep 27, 2013) I thought European-style cheese would have to be imported - not until I came upon Malagos Farm House here in Davao where cheese artisan Olive Puentespina makes cheese magic with the likes of European monastery cheeses from soft pungent to hard types with crusty rinds. With a bottle of wine to wash it down, it was a gourmet party that tittilated the epicurean taste buds....more »» Custom-made Peanut Butter at Davao City's Bankerohan Market (Sep 27, 2013) using pure Anchor Butter instead of cooking oil, using organic Muscovado sugar instead of regular brown sugar in getting your very own penaut butter at Davao City's Bankerohan Market....more »» Yoga in Davao (Sep 26, 2013) The one good thing about Davao is having a healthy yoga community.

Sometimes, free yoga is offered at Abreeza Mall, back to back with a Zumba class.

Drama....more »» Pending US Invasion of Syria (Sep 7, 2013) Rhetorics are now high in selling the US invasion of Syria to the American public for Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people. Haven't we heard that same saber-rattling before? About the WMD that never was? About the incident at Gulf of Tonkin that did not happen? Is the US trying to dupe its people and the world again in order to go into a war economy and for its military industrial complex to sell more weapons? Isn't this another commercial war to fuel money lending by the global financial cartels?....more »» Back Into the Black (Sep 1, 2013) Since I stopped dying my hair black and now sporting my natural salt 'n pepper look, a strange thing started happening.
