T4 Takeover: Tour Journal Day 1 (Part 1)

Hanging out is what we do best - especially at rooftops. Featuring Ray (Staid) and Danj (Bystorm) sharing vocal tips perhaps... or something more dangerous...
Davao's pride : Durian. Never got to taste it. I just couldn't take it.


This is the "hamburger" at a local vegie resto at Davao City. It's actually man tao with two pieces of vegie ham. I just couldn't convince myself it was a vegie burger.



Bystorm Breakfast : coffee, coke, pandesal, munchkins, donuts


Up now are some pics from the recent Bystorm/Staid/Half the Battle tour of Davao City and Cebu City last weekend.

The tour process went smoothly as we booked our flights via ZestAir. By a bizarre turn of events, ZA called up 3 days before we fly to Davao saying that our flight from Davao to Cebu on Saturday was cancelled and that we have to get another flight. Her ZA suggestions did not work out so I booked our flight via Cebu Pacfific.

Staid went ahead of us on Thursday morning as we left Manila on Friday morning. We met up somewhere in Manila and got a cab to the airport. As we entered the terminal, I realized that I made the wrong move thinking that we were boarding at NAIA Terminal III when it was actually the Domestic Airport. Sht...

So we went to the Domestic Airport thinking that we could go in already, but no...the X-ray people were not yet there so we impatiently waited for the f'n guy to arrive. By the way, terminal fees suck, according to Denver. And yeah, I second that.

The flight went smoothly and we landed in Davao City at around 6 AM. I was so f'n sleepy the whole time that I could simply sleep about anywhere. The guys we were supposed to meet at the airport were not yet there so after a couple of minutes waiting, we went ahead to Downtown Davao City to get some coffee.

After a couple of minutes, our new Davao friends, Astrubal and Idid went down to fetch us and bring our stuff to Astro's place. We get to walk around DC. It was awesome.

We met Staid and the rest of the Davao crew a couple of hours later at a local vegie resto. I forgot the name. It was right in the middle of the city. Nice food. Chinese inspired cuisine. Cheap too.


Soundtrack: Morissey 'You are the Quarry'
