"ME TIME" pag ME TYM

Trips From Davao to China to Melbourne

Last May we  attended the annual convention of Phil OB GYN Society at SM Davao Convention Center.

It was our first time to visit one of the cleanest cities in our country, Davao , which turned out to be a great treat for us.
Aside from the usual "must sees' in Davao were in for a lot of adventure.

We tried the whitewater rafting in Davao River.
It was really an adrenaline-rush cum never-to-ride-again experience as i gasped for my breath and swallowed gallons of water when our boat capsized and i fell into the river with fast current thrice in a row.

But i would not recommend it as a family fun thing to do as it is very risky.
I think once is enough.


We really enjoyed their tuna and fruits like Durian and Longgan.

A week after Davao we went to Beijing China to attend the half marathon by the great wall.

Beijing was also a great discovery. Except for the language barrier we really had a grand time with all the sights and foods ....shopping was great.

from beijing we had the lightning-ride chance in a bullet train going to Xian province...some 1200 km away from beijing.



 It was a 6 hour journey at 300km per hour.

Xian is the site of the famous terracota warriors which was  discovered in 1974 buried at the ground by a group of farmers. It was worth the trip seeing this UNESCO heritage site.

It is a collection of sculptures depicting the armies of the first Emperor of China whose purpose is to protect him in his afterlife.

A week after my China trip i went to melbourne to attend a post graduate course at Royal Melbourne Hospital.

I enjoyed the company of my new friends colleague.

While the group went back to the Philippines i decided to stay for a few more days to explore what this city has to offer.

Im so happy I bought with me this "selfie gadget" as I took pictures.

Visiting "12 apostles" was the most awesome moment of this trip.

It is a collection of limestone stacks formed by erosion from waves. It is by the Great Ocean Road.

Travelling alone  gave  me my much needed  "me time".

A time for me to reflect and thank God for all the blessings.

I àm now back to my routine to save for the next trip.
