Our weekend was spent in the streets as Davao City celebrated the 25th Kadayawan Festival. Last Saturday was the Indak-Indak sa Kadalanan (street dancing competition) that was joined by 24 contingents from different parts of the Mindanao. As expected, I was in the street to shoot armed with our Canon 400D and 50mm lens together with the whole gang (sisters, BIL, Ella, Eman, Manang Inday and Dimple). Ace wasn’t able to join in the morning because he reported for work.
That’s how our weekend went. How about yours?

On the third weekend of our DSLR with us (June 01, 2008), we went to People’s Park for a photo walk. People’s Park is the most decent public park here in Davao City and it just opened December 2007. The park’s pretty new so the facilities are all working fine.
They have a replica of a Durian – Davao’s exotic fruit

some ornaments at the park
and the works of art of a local sculptor
people of all ages go in this park because it is free and being in this park feels like you are in other country.
That’s how we spent one of our weekends almost 2 years ago. How about yours? Share it with us in Weekend Memoirs.
Last week’s entry was during our first weekend with our DSLR so I will continue posting in this meme from the oldest photos we have in file.
I and Che2x went home last May 22, 2008 for the death anniversary of our mother will be the following day. On Saturday, one of my cousin’s daughter celebrated her birthday at the ONLY inland resort in our hometown – Kabacan. Waterland Resort is actually the second swimming pool in town next to Garagan Spring Resort but the latter closed from business years ago. Our town is located in the middle of Central Mindanao and the nearest beach is in Digos City or if others could dare, somewhere in Parang, Maguindanao I guess. So imagine people in Kabacan go crazy over swimming resorts regardless of the source of water as long as it is a swimming pool, people won’t mind.
Here’s some of my cousins, nephews and nieces….
