davao take 2

Posted in travel thoughts at 11:24 PM by vetlongwalks

i hate attending weddings. okay, i don’t hate the ceremony itself, it’s the dressing up part that i loathe. good thing i’ve friends who know very well or at least are very tolerant of my inability to conform with the dress code for this occasion. so on october 31, 2009 – saturday, me and three other friends are flying to davao to attend a wedding – a Muslim ceremony at that. apart from this being a good excuse to hop on a plane, i’m actually excited to observe a traditional Muslim wedding ceremony.

so yeah, already got tickets for the trip a week before. as for our accommodation, well, yam, ley, and line are taking care of it and the other details.

anyway, 2004 – i think – was the first time i’ve stepped on davaoland. at that time, my visit was hosted by my college friend peachi. i had a grand tour then. for this trip, i’m looking forward to us four finding our own way as we explore this part of mindanao. hopefully, we’ll have the whole of sunday to sightsee on our own. hmm, we can hardly expect our friend ram to tour us – read: not a good way to spend honeymoon! hehe…

p.s. it’s so unfortunate that we learned of the nov. 2 holiday too late. had we known there’s no work on that monday, we wouldn’t have gotten the first flight out to cebu.
