Cultural Heritage

Hello, there my dear readers!

I’m ecstatic to share to with you a delicious blog post featuring the arts and flavors of Thailand. On Friday, The Royal Thai Embassy in cooperation with the Tourism Authority of Thailand hosted the 2019 ‘Thai Culinary Delights’ at DusitD2 here in Davao City. 

This event was made in celebration of the 70th Diplomatic Anniversary between the Republic of the Philippines and the Kingdom of Thailand and the first event of this kind to be held outside of Metro Manila.

Not-so-serious Wine Dinner with Rutherford Wines at the Deck, Marco Polo Davao

 

Hello there, my dear readers!

Right now, I’m still working on a lot of my boos, got loads of work backlogs and whatnots and seems like they keep piling up and to be honest I seriously don’t know when this is going to end. And since I don’t know when’s work going to end, I thought I’d better shift out of my monitors and go out, see people, talk to people and yeah, go dine and wine especially when it’s not so serious one.

Truth be told, my palate is not really adventurous when it comes to wines, probably because wine is not really part of the Filipino culture but I'm teaching my tongue a bit and I'm learning a lot, so I think that's a good start. If we notice, in recent years with all of these restaurants popping here and there, wines got a special page on the menu and what better way to appreciate them than tasting them.

El Nido Summer Sunset seen from Republic Sunset Bar

Hello, there my dear readers. 

I’ve been out of my blogging dashboard for so long. So long that I don’t know how to navigate it anymore, lol. But so glad I’m on mama and coding chore reprieve now that my troop is at school. Have to find a way to divide my time and I finally managed to update my blog, specifically our El Nido summer trip. 

My family actually went on a 7-day vacation in Boracay and Iloilo City and I’ll be writing about it soon. But what I’m going to share with you on this blog post was our trip to El Nido in Palawan. We had a couple trip a week after we came home from Visayas. It’s actually an anniversary trip in celebration of 20 years being married, yeah, that long already!

You deserve a space to unwind after a long day, an area in your home where you can close the door behind you and experience privacy and quiet, if only for a few moments.

Waterfront Davao's Insulares de Mayo

Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao tells the story of three women on its second staging of “Insulares de Mayo” held May 31, 2019. Formerly just a celebration of the annual Santacruzan, this year’s version was crafted to be a three-act narrative about a woman’s encounter with her faith, fate and being Filipino. 

The story started with the pomp and pageantry of “Flores de Mayo”, highlighting the colorful creations of Davao City’s fast-rising couturiers. Garbed in imaginative renditions of the Philippine Terno as Reyna Sagalas were some of the region’s empowered women and civic leaders: Chairperson of Compostela Valley’s Provincial Women Development Council - Sholai Lim as Reyna de las Estrellas; Former Japanese Consul - Tomoko "Sophia" Dodo as Reyna Paz; Chef-Restaurateur of Rekado Davao - Pauline Benedicto-Mallillin as Reyna de las Propetas; Honorary Consul to Mexico - Dr. Maria Lourdes Monteverde as Reyna Emperatriz; Councilor-Elect of the 3rd District - Myrna Dalodo-Ortiz as Reyna del Cielo; Proprietor of Picobello Ristorante Italiano and The Swiss Deli and Restaurant - Rochelle Venuti as Reyna de las Flores; Mutya ng Davao 2000 - Leah May Luna-Panisales as Reyna de las Virgines; and the newly appointed Regional Director of the Department of Tourism Region XI - Tanya Rabat-Tan as Reyna Elena. 

Why Having A Role Model Is Important

Having a role model in life (or even more than one) is extremely important for all kinds of reasons. Without one, life would still be able to be lived, but it could be confusing, and when questions need to be asked, there might be no one to turn to. 

Finding a role model is not something you will necessarily go out and do intentionally, but as you grow up you will come across people, either people that you know or those whose lives you know a lot about, who seem to fit the criteria. Read on to find out why having a role model is important.
