Despite juggling with workload, I was able to attend the Davao Bloggers Society’s Christmas gathering this year in DC. However, all the rush came with challenges. First, I forgot to bring to Davao my formal black pants. Second, my leather shoes got broken just when I was about to leave for the party. Fortunately, i had 40 minutes spare time to drop by Gaisano Illustre. Bought a pair for only P399. In addition, I decided to buy na rin black pants, which was on sale at P499. A bit over-length, but whatever. Baka di ako isali sa raffle if I wore those chinos.

Fast-forward, the evening turned out glittering, awesome and fun. This year’s Gala was truly one of the best nights of DBS. No char.
Plus, our blog #biyahenijosemanuel got recognized by the organization as this year’s best travel blog. Kudos to us. Cheers! And to more travel stories with you.
