The Memoir of a Beautiful Yesterday

“A thing of beauty is joy forever. Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness”. Behind the financial crises and incapabilities that life faced we still live, not as we wish to, but as we can. Not the fact that we love to travel but it’s the memoir that we created as we travel along our different journey. September 03, 2011 was my most tiresome day and night. It was the day of our educational trip to Davao city. Whereas, our experiences where enrich by exposing us to situations that are new to us. Young minds were constantly exposed into travels to boost and uplift our intellectual base and worldview. We are being free of our curiosity as we’ve travelled along our way.  Upon seeing the big establishments, we felt free for a while free as if there were no boundaries. “Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose.”

As the bus started to bustle, the excitement was all outbursts. Yet, before this excitement was totally exploded we first take a moment of silence to ask God for his mercy. “Yehey, mangadto najud tah sa wakas”, my classmate said. We know that, on that day we will create a momentous event in our lives. Laughs and yells echoed in and outside the bus as the journey begun. “o davao.. davao.. davao..”, Gapa shouted. The noise of my classmates awaked our spirits. It helped us to become more alive. After travelling one and a half hour we finally arrived at Museo Dabawenyo. In this place we garner knowledge about many things. Such as, the Mibuyan or the mythical deity of fertility and of the unborn in which it catches my attention. There was also a trivia that this Museo was started to form in the year 2006 and opened last 2008. Furthermore, we’ve been informed about the 9 tribes of Davao namely: Tagabawa, Guingan, Manobo, Maranao, Sama,Tansag, Kalagan, and the Maguindanao.The seven icons of Davao were the Mt. Apo, Waling2, Durian, Boy sunset, Morning glory, Floral float parade and the Philippine Eagle. However, the thing that I most cherished in that place was when I saw a handsome guy which we’ve take a photo.  We felt too much “kilig” yet, upon leaving we hardly accept that it’s just a dream to have him. Nevertheless, “baon namin ang napakagandang alaala sa kanya” that we won’t forget.

After 60 minutes of relaxing in the NCCC mall we finally feed our hungry stomach at Kuya Eds “eat all you can” restaurant. Take some photo for a while to make it a souvenir. Poncé Suite Hotel was our next destination. It was definitely a terrific place. There we’ve learned that recycled materials were very important. If we treat no waste at all it will result into a great art. Certainly, that was Kublai the owner of the hotel did. Art was his life and all that he made was the history of his life.

It’s a kind of losing energy, yet we must go through to our next destination- to Abreeza Mall and then to SM. Definitely we have lots of reminiscing experience. It’s totally great to have it all. We won't forget that memoir of our beautiful yesterday.”EXPLORE, DISCOVER, LEARN and ENJOY life.
