DavaoBase: Your Jump Point To The City

It’s Hubby’s Birthday Today!

My husband’s birthday falls a day after his late father’s birthday. Last night, we had a family dinner in Gem Village. We had lechon, prawns, grilled tuna, pansit and cake.

Manila Ocean Park: Was It Fun?

Last year, we stayed in Pasay City for 2 nights before going to our main destination, which was Subic. Why else will we choose to drop by Manila if not to see their latest pride — the Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in the Philippines?

This year, our main target was to see the […]

Our Laffline and Zirkoh Experience

Last year, while planning for our Subic vacation, we thought of inserting a trip to Quezon City to check what its most famous comedy bars have to offer. In the end, we decided it was way much of a hassle to go to QC when we will be staying in Pasay for the night and […]

Is Dairy Queen Really Royalty?

I have always been fascinated with Dairy Queen’s Blizzard being served upside down. I have tried it once before and was so excited to try it again when my husband and I were in Glorietta recently.
Hubby ordered Kitkat while I picked the Chocolate Almond, both flavors priced at PhP 99 per 12 oz cup […]

What’s Cooking in ‘Razon’s of Guagua’

Since I have already introduced the sisig of Razon’s of Guagua, I am going to take it from there.
Torre Venezia, where we stayed in QC, is actually very conveniently located. Aside from Burger King, Razon’s of Guagua is also a stone’s throw away. At first, I was hesitant to get in their store since I […]

A Taste of Manila’s Sisig

I really don’t know why, but I found myself looking for the best sisig in Manila. I ordered sisig at every opportunity and I never failed to compare it with the sisig I know - that of Davao.

My first sisig experience in Manila was in Iceberg. Did I hear someone screaming “Whaaat?!”? Fine, Iceberg specializes […]

Good Mornings at Burger King Timog

We don’t have Burger King in Davao, so allow me to share my BK ‘encounters’ while I was in Manila. Yes, it has an ’s’, which means plural or many - in fact, too many (for me, at least) that I cannot recall the exact number I have eaten in BK Timog during the 2 […]

A Quezon City Experience

I should have shared my experiences in Manila while in Manila, but if you have read my previous entries, you would know why I was not able to do so. Anyway, let me start sharing them now, one worthy event at a time.
One of the many reasons I was convinced to go to Manila was […]

Was There An Oktoberfest Kick Off Party In Davao?

Yes, it still is September, but the party is on! The Oktoberfest, an annual month-long celebration organized by the San Miguel Corporation, has already started. For the past years, the parties were held within the month of October (thus Oktoberfest). This year, SMC went beyond what is expected and launched San Miguel Oktoberfest Siento Bente, […]

Our First WiFi Experience

… was unsuccessful.
I’m sure my hubby has a better way of saying this. Check it out below.
—————————————————————————
As I said in my previous post, my sister handed me her still-functional laptop (circa 2004) complete with wireless connection. “WiFi?”, I asked myself. As a self-professed computer geek, it was weird for me to ask a […]
