This is the first part of our trip to Samal Island in Davao. Not much to see except this shows the night when we arrived there.

You’ll see more in the next part where I play in the beach for the first time. I said play because I don’t know how to swim!

We went to this Philippine Eagle Center in Davao. I saw here the famous Philippine eagle named Pag-asa. We saw several birds and monkeys there too. I even dared myself to carry a snake around my neck!

Next part will show our trip to Paradise Island resort in the island of Samal. But I think I’ll have to split that trip into two parts because we took tons of pictures there.

This is a bit late but better late than never! I’ll make seperate lists this time around. Again, songs in bold were placed on repeat mode either on my Zen player or foobar. Meaning… I got addicted to them.

Let me start with Christian songs. Well, specifically Catholic music because I don’t know if other Christian sects listen to them too. I just discovered the Bukas Palad Music Ministry. It all started when I was in Davao and I missed attending Holy Mass for several days. I sorely missed hearing church songs so I bought their “Tinapay ng Buhay” album. I listened to it every single day. Instead of listing all the tracks, I’ll just write down my fave songs from the album. I plan to write someday a post here just about their music.

• Bukas Palad - Glory To God
• Bukas Palad - Humayo’t Ihayag (New Version)
• Bukas Palad - The Face Of God

Going now to remixes, these are the mixes which were not in my last month’s most played list.

• DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima (Original 12″ Cut)
• DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima (Radio / Video Mix)
• Blake Lewis - How Many Words (Dave Aude Mixshow)
• Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls (Orangefuzzz Cosmetic Club Mix)
• Fatboy Slim - The Rockafella Skank
• Bryan Adams - Summer Of ‘69 (White Label Mix)
• Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth (Ultimix)

This next one was not really my fave MLTR song but after giving it a few listens I liked it so much that I played it on repeat for days!

• Michael Learns To Rock - I’m Gonna Come Back

And the obligatory artist in my list…

• Britney Spears - Radar
• Britney Spears - Cinderella
• Britney Spears - What It’s Like To Be Me

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of BTI’s remixes! Before, I was skeptical of having remixes for the song. I was thinking no remix would sound better than the original version. I’m glad I was wrong.

• Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Jason Nevins Extended Mix)
• Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Soul Seekerz Club Mix)
• Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Soul Seekerz Dirty Mix)
• Britney Spears - Break The Ice (Tracy Young Mixshow)

And the following are still on this month’s list. I’m sorry if I have the same songs again but I can’t avoid it since my entire music collection is on an external hard drive which I rarely use. Once I got a new laptop, I should be able to have more variety in this list.

• David Cook - Always Be My Baby (RTZ Club Mixshow)
• Chris Brown - With You (Tracy Young Club Mix)
• Janet Jackson - Feedback (Jody den Broeder Club Mix)
• Enrique Iglesias - Escape (JJ Club Mix)
• Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean - Hips Don’t Lie (Ultimix Pt. 2)

I’ve finally listened to LP’s new album and I liked it. It’s not as good as their previous ones but I still have some fave cuts there.

• Linkin Park - Given Up
• Linkin Park - Bleed It Out
• Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day
• Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Lastly… classical music. I have a lot of them but it’s only last month when I really had the time to listen. They really help you know when I want to concentrate while working.

• Vivaldi - The Four Seasons - Spring
• Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance - March No. 1
• Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
• Ravel - Bolero
• Pachelbel - Canon in D

So that’s it! I mentioned last month that foobar will only be a temporary player but after discovering more about it I think I’ll stick with it. It’s the best no non-sense player out there! If you like a customized media player, you should definitely try foobar.

Just to clarify, this is for Syaoran in Cardcaptor Sakura. That’s why I addressed him with his last name - Li.

In celebration of his birthday, I’m making this blog look more active. There are 3 updates for this day alone.

I wonder how old is Syaoran this year if we base it on his age in the manga when it was first released. I’m too lazy right now to research this so another die-hard fan might be able to help me on this.

This is a continuation of the previous part because it still happened on the same day, June 8. We spent the rest of the day at Eden Nature Park & Resort. We got lost going there so unfortunately we were not able to catch the last group doing the Mountain Trail for the day. At least we got to do the Skyriding which in my opinion is better than trekking a 4-km trail.

These pictures were taken using my cameraphone. I didn’t expect we’d go there that day so I didn’t have my digicam with me. But even if I had brought it there, I can’t really take pictures while skyriding, can I? Wait, that would have been a great idea! I’m not sure if the instructor would allow it though…

So what I can say about the whole skyriding experience? Well… it was definitely one of the best things I’ve done here in Davao! Unknown to many, I’m really afraid of heights. When I found out what we were gonna do that day, I said NO to my boss without giving it a second thought. But then I also found out that I was the only one who wasn’t gonna do it. I didn’t want to be left out so I said YES anyway and I’m glad I did! (I wish I was this brave too when we were at the bar the night before. *sigh*)
