Moving On

It is summer in the Philippines! For most students it means a 2 month break before they start a brand new school year. It is a time for sports clinics, beach, summer jobs for some and on the job training.

For me however, it is the start of a new life. It means rediscovering my talents and skills and myself in a new place called Davao. Davao is a blend of the urban (with its malls and the bpo's) and the rural with its beaches, golf courses, wide open spaces, plantations and nature parks. It also boasts of island white sand beaches 15 minutes off the main island. These islands form part of Samal City which used to be a part of Davao City. There's one main island where you find several beach resorts like Paradise Island and Punta del Sol. For nature enthusiasts, check out Eden Nature Park with its hydroponic Vegetable garden (gardening without dirt using only the nutrients of water to nourish the plants), a breath taking view of Davao Gulf, the cool climate of Tagaytay, the Pine trees and log cabins of Baguio and treck to nature with their friendly hiking trail and campsite. It's a haven for those who want to get away from the bustle of the city.

More than that I guess, Davao is THE place for me because it lured my mind away from the unwanted memories I have of my past. It is just magical! No more sulking, no more depression. Goodbye sadness and hello bliss!
