Together with the rest of the CDOBloggers group – Mike, Richard, Edward, Robstroy, Eldie, Elva and Venus, we headed for our 6 hrs road trip from Cagayan de Oro to Davao. However, right before we got to Seagull Resort, one of the tires of the Starex Van got busted. We took the opportunity to enjoy each others company just cam whoring, what with the cold weather and refreshing view.. we didn’t mind the wait.

When we finally got to our destination, the Davao Bloggers gave us a warm welcome as we enjoyed the sumptuous lunch served to us by Ranchero’s Grill and Restaurant, located at Tionko cor. Arellano St. Davao City. I really like the Fried Chicken they served with lots of Garlic in Buttery sauce and the very tender and tasy baby back ribs among others. After lunch, together with the Davao Bloggers, we were all in the bus for our 3 hrs trip to General Santos City.

When we arrived General Santos City, we proceeded to Ice Castle Experience the newest hotel in GenSan located at GLEX Business Center, 12 Ambassador Provido Village. We freshened up a bit then gathered at Pacman Sports Bar for drinks and delicious appetizers such as cheese sticks, sizzling sisig and garlic chicken. Of course, let me not fail to mention that I finally got to see the Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao. Woohooo!! :)

Dinner was at Le Jardin Arnevel Garden Resort where Tita Nitz the owner prepared lechon, seafoods and other Filipino Dishes. I think I ate a plateful of crabs there.. and mind you, their rates are really affordable perfect for big events and family outings.

The fun does not end at dinner because we had one more stop.. the Grand Eyeball of CDOBloggers, Davao Bloggers and SoCCSKSarGen Bloggers. I believe this place is now coined as the “Official Tambayan of Bloggers” in GenSan.

Bloggers at Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar

Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar owned by a very good friend and fellow blogger Donna Mae Congson.. served us kurasticks, sizzling ubol-ubol, tuna buntot with the bar’s signature drinks — Jell-O Shots (in syringes) and Gayuma (in test tubes). Along side with the Lechon given to us by Mayor Jun Acharon. Ahaaa.. we were obviously partying the night away!!

Thank you to Robstroy, Mike and Charles for a few pictures I have added and used on this blog post.
