Davao Diary: Day 2

My sister was my “willing” driver last Monday. She ranted about Davao’s new traffic lights that practically mushroomed overnight. Practically every corner has one now making all Davao-grown drivers perplexed. Traffic lights are not usual in the old Davao I know. It is quite overwhelming to see Davao’s traffic almost looking like that of Manila’s. Gone were the days when driving around the city were leisurely and relaxed.

Anyway, my sister and I had coffee at CUPS & LOWERCASE @ F. Torres St (beside Bistro Rosario), one of the popular new cafes here. She wanted me to try their pugon-baked pizza.



And then, we visited the “future mansion” (hehehe) of our Nanay & Tatay (maternal grandparents). This was actually their old residence – the usual meeting place of the Jonson clan every weekends and Holidays. Finally after 40 years, the old bungalow is being renovated to a grand 5-bedroom two-storey house, complete with a large Family Entertainment room and a stage for our Videoke Nights!!! :-)

Before we headed home, my sis and I dropped by the oldest Mall in Davao City, Victoria Plaza ‘coz she needed to buy a cell phone charger. I was amused with an ad that I saw. Davao advertising sure is direct to the point. :-) And then, we saw a bazaar so we bought a few bargain blouses. Hahaha.



Finally when got home, I sweated it out with our Wii. Hahaha. Gosh, ang hirap pala ng Boxing.
