Elements: The Sonic Escalation Party 2014

Even person with disability (PWD) like me likes music and partying. Music is a therapeutic tool for everyone. As PWD i have found music to be invaluable as it gives relaxation therapy. 

Just recently, SM Lanang Premier with Manic Productions organized a techno theme electronic music party called Elements: The Sonic Escalation Party 2014. 

Extra Special Valentine's Day

With the kids of hope, enjoying the face painting

Love is an act of your will, the will to spread happiness. Once a year, we have this so called Valentine's Day where in everything is filled with heart shaped objects, chocolates, and of course flowers. 

Whatever status you have like married, in a relationship, or even if you are single, there are many reasons to celebrate Love day. And if you think, love day is for couples only then you are wrong. Here is my way of celebrating Valentine's Day with good friends and little cute angels that heaven sent. 

Big Davao Fun Sale

Another reason to visit Davao city is this year's "The Big Davao Fun Sale". This is a month long celebration from March 14 to April 16, 2014 and it is said to be the country's biggest shopping festival. Joining the festival are Abreeza Ayala Mall, Gaisano Mall of Davao and Toril, NCCC Mall Davao, Robinson’s, SM City Davao, and SM Lanang Premier which will offer up to 80% discounts on its widest range of products. 

The festival aims to increase the number of tourists in Davao City so as to increase the sales of shopping malls in the city. Other hotels, restaurants and resorts will also be participating in this month long sale. It is also supported by some airlines like Cebu Pacific, Silk Air and Singapore Airlines, which offers special air fare promos. 

Dinagyang 2014

“Bringing more fun to the world. Growing together in faith through Señor Santo Niño” is this year's theme for Dinagyang Festival. Dinagyang is Iloilo city’s version of the Ati-Atihan festival widely celebrated in other parts of the country. 

This was my first Dinagyang experience and definitely not the last. I am really impressed of how astonishing Dinagyang was in terms of the various attires worn by participating tribes in Kasadyahan and Ati contest. This only reflect the ingenuity, craftsmanship and artistry of the Ilonggos.

From the airport, tourists are welcomed by Ati warriors and with the drum beat exhibition, a typical Ati-atihan way of welcoming visitors.
