Araw ng Dabaw

This pretty much means "Davao Day" for all I can make of it...

The whole city in celebrating... there is a parade today... crazy child-beauty contest in the mall yesterday (I have never seen a mall so packed in my life... not even at Chinook during the Christmas season!)... a funny little carnival in the parking lot next to the mall (Laura and Jenny went on a ride... I was just generally a little freaked out...) and a FUN RUN at SM this morning!A BUNCH of "Mercy People" went to the "Run"... and most ended up walking. It was fun... and we all got these great "Araw ng Dabaw" t-shirts... and the chance to sweat along side many-a-filipino.

The run started at 6am... and the sky was beautiful... the mountains in the distance really clear... and well... I think that was my favorite part.
I'm sitting beside a wonderful pool near to our house that is the "new fad" amongst the girls of the OC. There is a pic of it on Jenna's blog. It is pretty great... and I am pretty great at procrastinating.

Well. Off to the races. I really should get to work here!
Lo out.
