Went To Boulevard For A Walk

Around  4AM I woke up, thanks to my phone alarm. Then I slept again. Wtf lol. Anyway though, so my cousin, Kah Nadz, who tend to have three beautiful kids is staying in our house temporarily, basically because Mama isn't here, and she's gonna take care of us and make sure of our safety. It's good to have them in here because finally the house is full of noise which don't normally happen on our daily living. And we decided to go for a beach/boulevard walk in the morning. Back to the first sentence, I slept again, and woke up around 5AM because my sister Fhar was waking me up because according to her, I am the only one who's asleep. Everyone's getting ready.

When we got to Cawa Cawa boulevard. The crowd wasn't really busy, in fact it was peaceful. The wind of the sea and those quietly jogging fit people. We took selfies/groufies and appreciate the beauty of the sea. After awhile, we've decided to go down town to grab some breakfast by walking from boulevard (it wasn't really a long walk because we didn't die of tiredness). We ate Satti which you're not familiar with, it's a traditional food for us Tausugs. If you wanna know more about it, Google is always available to answer your question. After we ate, we went home and watched tv series/movies. 

Flight Back To Zamboanga & Airplane View Shots

Davao's Crocodile Park II: Cute Lazy Tiger & Conquered Fear

Ugh so cute!

This is too funny but he's so cuuuuuuuuute! I love this guy so much, can't even.

Good job, Fhar!
But those two photo bombers are too distracting.
The Kardashian booty girl, and the street girl scrolling through her phone. Haha gosh.

Another sweet capture of my beautiful parents.

Fhar and I went to the Tiger View which has an entrance fee that my Papa (as always) payed. It was at a huge cage but the viewing of the entertaining tigers was at the top of it. And yes, beneath our feet are the cages of roaring tigers which was very terrifying but Fhar was more terrified than me. Ha! Loser no just kidding I love you, yucks haha. There are probably 6-7 tigers but only one decided to entertain us, it was disappointing somehow. But, the cute huge tiger made a cute play at the grass with him/herself, actually though s/he was inviting his/her friends or family but they are too lazy to even go out of their cages, pft! Lazy asses.

After that, there were picture takings for free with a small crocodile and harmless snake. At first, I was like "NO WAY!" but a part of me has seen a vision which was a tweet by a friend (probably Mark Calma's) saying YOLO. I had to repeat that abbreviation over and over again for it to sink in. And out of the blue, I said "Sige na Pa, Let's go! Fhar!!". So Fhar came with me and Papa took the photos. But Fhar only went to the small crocodile and I went for both. They were both heavy though but the snake moves too much that it terrified me but it was fine.

We've decided to grab a drink before leaving the park. Papa ordered Sugar cane juice, Fhar got the Raspberry juice, and I went for a Malunggai Kalamansi Juice which was a brave thing I did, it wasn't yucky much just little bit. And after that, we went to People's Park which will be journalize on my next blog. 

PS: Same lovely taxi driver drove us to People's Park, he waited for us and it was actually part of the deal. So he can earn more money, he deserves it.

Davao's Crocodile Park I: Exploring Wild Arena, "Celebriatic" Orangutan, & Impressive Bat Wings

Yap, we got it from her *wink*

"Pls, I'm not yet ready with my bongga pose"

"This is my posing, and it's fabulous, I know"

Extraordinary couple that has their own world. The sweetest.

"Okay human, I'm gonna smile for you even though you're annoying me"

We went to Crocodile Park around 3PM which we thought was very late, but it wasn't actually. I would just like to add that our taxi driver was so lovely, he was entertaining us although sometimes I don't understand what was he talking about since he's using the Bisaya language. I understand quite a bit because some of my friends in Zamboanga are pure Bisaya people. 

When we got there, the place was quiet and dull and has less people than my expectations. The first animal that we encountered was an eagle, or rather a baby eagle since he's not really big as he was supposed to be based on my expectations again. And then, lots of crocodiles, unknown animals with weird names that I haven't known my entire life, a parrot which Mama called ugly, snakes that stinks but impressively big, a pond of turtles, a big turtle, a huge lizard which I don't quitely remember the name but I read "Dragon Den" before I went to the garden of it and the huge turtle's so maybe that's it, lots of birds, a large field with lots of ostriches (that's hard to pronounce though), and an incredibly impressive bat.

Pasalubong Shopping & Early Dinner

Since Fhar and I are leaving Davao in three days, we obviously need to buy some pasalubongs for our loved ones in Zamboanga, especially my sisters. We bought many souvenirs and their wanted pasalubongs in Gaisano Mall since there are a lot of affordable stuff there. My mom did a quite crazy shopping as well, which makes me really happy because she doesn't go shopping as often as she deserves to. And I just bought a carry on bag for my if-ever excess luggage. We don't know what might happen y'know. 

We ate dinner quite early in dum-dum-duuuum McDonalds, everyone's go on food chain restaurant. We ordered fish fillet burger, because we don't trust the chicken one as much as we trust the McDonalds in Zamboanga, and two bff fries (my forever guilty pleasure). Good thing about Zamboanga is their McDonalds serve non pork, which is really appreciable since there are lots of Muslims there.  After we eat, Fhar and I decided to check upon National Bookstore to find something interesting. I went for Paano Ba 'To by Bianca Gonzales, it isn't a novel, it looks like a guide of growing up which is fascinating. I've always wanted to buy it since I was still in Zamboanga. I've heard lots of great reviews so why not try it right?

I know, I'm assuming you'll be like "Wow Fads, a guide book over a novel?". It's just when I got inside of National Bookstore, this book (Paano Ba 'To) shouts my name and saying that I have to buy it while the others were silent. In simple terms, I wasn't feeling like reading a novel at this moment since I know it'll waste my summer time. Summer is for fun, no time for slouching in a sofa reading. I have to enjoy my vacay. But for sure, I'll read novels when I have free time in the future. But right now, I just don't feel like reading a novel.

We did a lot of walking today that made my body feels sore. But mission accomplished for buying pasalubongs! YAS!
