Back To My Real World
There is a quote in Swedish that goes like this, “Borta bra men hemma bäst”. If I translate it (word for word) in English, it sounds a bit funny cos it goes like this, “Away good but home best”. I think it will be better to say it this way, “It’s good to be away but it’s always best to be at home”. And this is exactly what I’m feeling now after a month-long vacation. Somehow, being away for a while gives good reasons to be back. It helps me feel like I’m ready to face the challenges of my real world. Uhurrmm!
Hubby and I arrived yesterday after a delayed flight from Singapore. It’s our first time to experience this kind of airport scenario. It was actually delayed till the next day (which is today) because the KLM aircraft had technical problems that couldn’t be resolved until the necessary material would arrive from Amsterdam. In this case, it’s better to delay the flight than fly with a defect aircraft. But for some reasons, we were offered an alternative flight on Singapore Airlines which would leave three hours later than our supposed to be KLM flight. It’s flying to Zurich,Switzerland and from there, another flight to Gothenburg. Not bad. It was also our first time to fly on Singapore Airlines and we liked the experience with the friendly crew, sumptuous meals and spacious seats.
Davao City, so long!
Singapore, we’ll be back!
Park In The City
The People’s Park – Davao City
People’s Park by night
This People’s Park in my hometown, Davao City, is the latest attraction I’ve longed to see for the first time. It was opened sometime in 2007 (months after our second visit to the city). I remember many years back, the place was just a PTA grounds where sports and other events were held. But now it’s turned into something beneficial to the people and the city itself. I should say that the park is quite enchanting at nights when lights are lit and beautifully upholds it’s authentic sculptures inside. As this place will definitely become a tourist attraction, I wish the people would keep it clean and safe. I’ve read that on it’s opening day, some plants were destroyed and walls and benches vandalized. That’s why security is quite tight now upon entering the premises. The park seems crowded on weekends though.
P.S…
My blogging routine isn’t back to normal yet. I’m still on vacation with hubby here in my hometown and we’re both tired in the night. We’re out everyday to visit different places, aside from visiting and meeting friends and relatives. I know I’ve neglected dropping my EC and bloghopping so please bear with me. I will surely visit your blogs whenever I can while I’m still here. Miss y’all!
The Real “Buko” Salad
Buko salad in Davao
When I’m in my hometown, Davao, I can’t think more about anything but food. It’s one thing I missed the most when I’m away. Like this young coconut salad which we fondly call “buko” salad. I remember we used to shred the coconut meat and put it in a container to make buko salad. But now it can be mixed in its shell and it’s ready to eat. It’s fresher than when it’s refrigerated. Moreover, the fruits stay fresh, too. This buko salad have bits of mango, honey melon, papaya, banana and pineapple. And drops of milk to go with the fresh juice of the buko. Love it!
