DAVAO - Here we come!

Here is our favourite part – our honeymoon! We went to Pearl Farm, Davao and stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. We had a 5am flight to Davao right after our wedding day and since we arrived at the Manila Pen around 11pm after the reception, we decided not to sleep because we have to be at the airport at 3am. Afterall, we both know that our stay in Pearl farm would be all pleasure and relaxation. We just spent time watching our onsite wedding video over and over again. We are both very excited because its our first flight as a couple and also its our first time to go South. Davao has always been one of the top must-go-to places in our vacation list.

The weather is fine when we reached the Davao International airport. The place was really awesome. The people are very polite even the taxi drivers and you can really feel that its a very safe place. At the airport, we headed straight to Sasa wharf where a boat is waiting there to transport us to Pearl Farm beach resort. The trip across from the mainland lasts about 55 minutes and is very pleasant. We certainly enjoyed the sights of the deep blue ocean that surrounds the island. Its very relaxing.


As we reached the resort, they gave us refreshing pineapple juice drink to kick start the day. Pineapples in davao are very sweet and as far as my tastebuds are concerned, its even sweeter than mangoes there. The place is a heaven for pineapple lovers like us - right sweetheart? The foods were very appetizingly delicious. And the best part - all meals are buffet. So with these variety of delicious foods to choose from - diet was temporarily erased in our vocabulary.


We get a cottage facing the sea because we both love the sights of the ocean. It really feels great to wake up each morning with the morning breeze and blue acean greeting you.


We also feed some fishes but since we dont have any bread to feed the fishes, we discovered something interesting - fishes also love to eat banana peel. Kewl! hehehe.

In the afternoon, Anne and I had a whole body massage together.


At night, we had a special dinner by the seashore. Good thing we opt to have our special dinner by the seashore on our first night because on our second night, it rained. There are also performers every night to entertain guest. During our first night, we barely see them because we are having our dinner quite far from where they are performing.



After our very romantic dinner, we got his chance to meet our new friend named Charlie A.K.A. "hikik-hikik". Sweetheart love, say hi to our friend. =) I tell you, this friendly bird is very talented..

The next day, we went island hopping. We went to Malipano island riding a motor boat. The island was very beautiful with the trees and the powdery white sand. This place is perfect for prenuptial pictorials. We did some snorkeling there.




During our dinner that night, we are excited to watch the performers but their gimmick that night is to serenade each tables by three musicians. We noticed that before the musicians leave the table, they are waiting for customers to give them a tip. Too bad we didn’t bring any money with us because there’s nothing to buy! We cannot go back to our room to get money because it raining plus the fact that it’s quite far. Sorry guys, next time we will double your tip :D

The next day was another thrilling day for us. It’s now time to gear up and ride the Jet Ski. At long last! This is the first time that we tried the Jet Ski! Too bad we did it only for 30 minutes because our boat trip back to mainland is scheduled at 10 am. Anne let me drive the Jet Ski for the entire 30 minutes because my wife knew how I really wanted to ride the Jet Ski even before. I love you sweetheart! If I could just have a much longer vacation, we would gladly stay there for 1 week.

Our stay there is quite short but indeed very intimate and very memorable. On our way back before going to the airport, we bought some t-shirts as souvenirs and some durian delicacies.

It’s exactly 2 weeks now since our wedding day but I can still clearly recall every details of it. And this very special event will be cherished by us for the rest of our lives. As we enter another stage of our life, I know there will be trials and hardships but with God on our side, I know we will succeed! I love you my wife - my sweetheart love!
