Blogging Frenzy

I was in General Santos City late last month for the Tuna Festival.  My group, Avatar Media, was already very busy with WordCamp Philippines 2010 preparations but three of us managed to get a couple of days off to be one with the  Generals in celebrating the 42nd Charter Day Anniversary of their beloved city.

We arrived around lunchtime of September 24, Friday.  My good friend Avel took us to the  beach (sorry, I can’t remember the name) for a quick stop at the LGU-GenSan Family Day.  There, we met Sox Blogger Ric Dumalay and Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio.  We also grabbed a few bites, just enough to whet our appetites for our next stop — lunch at Harvey’s.

Last weekend, I went to General Santos City for the nth time to attend a  party.

I’ve been up to my neck in tasks and errands lately but I found the time to travel 3 hours to attend a party.  Why?  Read on.

This will surprise a lot of people who have known me for years because  I’m the type who is almost always absent during Christmas parties and Senior’s ball in high school with the exception of the JS Prom.  I would’ve loved to ditch the prom but I know I wouldn’t get away with a no-show because attendance was required.

We were up early for the 2nd day of the SoCCSKSarGen Summer Safari. I’m not used to getting up at 6:00 am but since ours was a very tight schedule,  I dragged myself out of bed.

By 7:00 am, we left Ice Castle Experience and were on our way to our first stop for the day, to have breakfast at the magnificent Dolores Farm Resort in Polomolok, South Cotabato.  I have been to the resort before so I knew that my companions will surely love the place.
