Abreeza Mall Davao at Night

Love this shot of Abreeza that I took three days after Christmas while making the most of the remaining days of Christmas holiday 2011, we decided to go to the mall around eight in the evening already.

Indeed life is here in Davao. It is peaceful at night and we had no fear then in going out quite late in the evening already plus the evening weather was good. It was already rather quiet that time that I took the chance to take this snapshot just using the Lexy (our old yet still trusty LX5).

They used the so-called all-weather escalator which you can see in the photo above is said to be the first in Davao.

This is the first time we have seen The Peak at night. We have been here a few times before in October but during the day only when Figaro Coffee Company Opens at The Peak of Gaisano Mall Davao just recently opened then.

Love the colorful lights and the ambiance of this whole new place which reminds a friend of mine of the Sky Garden in SM City North EDSA. I actually have not seen that one though.

It is good to know that Gaisano Mall developed this rooftop area into this wonderful new place to go and hangout to in Davao with your family and friends as we get closer to the Christmas season. This could be their answer in leveling up as Abreeza Mall Davao opened last May 2011 and SM Lanang which is still under construction and said to open May 2012 which is just six months away.

There were quite more people than expected since today is a holiday. We saw many barkadas and families enjoying this new place that has a good view of downtown Davao and The Pinnacle hotel just across as seen in the photo above.

A little side story, Francis Magbanua of ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol Mindanao I think was doing a live report feed for the news. I first noticed their white van on top then saw them stationed with the rather glaring studio lights at the edge where you can see the Pinnacle building in this photo.

Loalde Gaisano Mall Davao | Holiday 2010 Collection

Loalde Gaisano Mall Davao is one of the clothing stores that a friend and I love. It is a lifestyle specialty retail company that has branches over the country and a few ones in malls in Davao. I have invested in a few pieces of blouses with them and what I love about those that I have chosen is that they can be worn without really having the need to have them ironed out. A college friend actually was an influence in looking and later buying clothes from this clothes store that has a branch also at SM.


Love Notes at Pizza Hut SM Davao | Valentine’s Day 2011

It is the love month of February and we are just a few days away from Valentine’s day. Last weekend, we saw these love notes posted at the glass wall of Pizza Hut at SM City Davao while we bought some pizza for the little for take home. While waiting for our order to be given, I took some shots of these loves notes. Some of these notes were written by children for their parents. I have note read the others though I assume those were for their loved ones in their life.

SM too has their own wall of love notes at the Entertainment Center at the second floor. If you want to publicly express your love to someone, go there and post your love note as well.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Have a loving and enjoyable day with your loved ones on V-Day!

I just want to share it to my fellow Davaoenos who would like to do their Christmas shopping at one of the oldest shopping malls in the city. I want to go back there and do some shopping myself on one of the double Christmas midnight sale.
