SALOMON brings an interesting city trail run in Mindanao for the first time! This will be a 12 kilometer run on January 31, 2016 at 4:30AM that will start at Rizal Park beside the Davao City Hall to Davao Crocodile Park. 


"It's not going to be your ordinary fun run." as per race coordinator Mr. Dax Ang. The runners will be passing by famous landmarks in Davao City. "We will have a party at the finish line.", he said at the media briefing last January 16. Also present in the activity were race director Erwin "Pastour" Emata and Frankie Tongo of Team Titans Davao.


The Salomon City Trail Run has been in Manila for 2 years inside Intramuros. It was created for runners who wants a different trail and surface variations like bridges, staircases, and hills.

Ms. Mae Sanchez, Marketing Manager of Recreational Outdoor eXchange (R.O.X) said that this will be a green race. The first 100 registrants will receive a Salomon water bottle. There will be no disposable cups at the hydration stations, so all runners are advised to bring their own bottles.

Registration fee is at P700 inclusive of a white Salomon singlet, race bib, raffle stub, and free breakfast. First 150 finishers will receive a medal.


Here are some of the landmarks that we will pass by during the race.

Running is not my usual thing but if it's interesting like the McHappy Stripes Run, I would definitely register and prepare myself for an early morning jog with a lot of people. Honestly, I love fun runs but I hate waking up early in the morning. Haha! 



The McHappy Stripes Run is a first in Davao and has been an annual activity in Manila. The good catch why I was really eager to join this activity is that all proceeds will be donated to "Ronald McDonald Read to Learn", a flagship of McDonald's charity of choice, the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Philippines. RMHC Philippines is also celebrating its 20th anniversary of touching the lives of 11 million children through its programs






Each race kit includes the Stripes shirt, red and white long socks, a meal stub, and the race bib.



There were a lot of activities for the whole family. There were booths that you can play games and win prizes. Unfortunately, I just won a wristband.





Along with my Davao Blogger friends, we had a warm up exercise to avoid sprains and muscle cramps. The event was hosted by Mr. Mikee Aportadera and Ms. Jackie Lou Blanco.






I ran the 5K category from People's Park to Chowking Bajada. Guess who saw me running, I mean walking down J.P. Laurel Ave. Hi Jad and Perper! :)




It was really fun! I wish I brought my best friends with me in this fun activity. Thanks McDonald's for inviting us and we are happy to help the kids and have fun in this activity at the same time. Cheers!




Thanks guys for dropping by and have a great time!

FUJIFILM Instax camera is a party must-have! It has become extremely popular among the youngsters, photo enthusiasts, and travelers who loves instant prints they can keep inside their wallets. Got curious about it too so I bought one for myself and I had so much fun using the Instax Mini 8 ever since. Now Fujifilm launches their latest model of instant camera: the Instax Mini 70. It delivers improved image quality, a new Selfie mode, and other exciting features that make it again, a party must-have!

The Instax Mini 70 has Auto Exposure Control Function that automatically detects the surrounding brightness then adjust the shutter speed and flash accordingly so no more dark background in your Instax photos.

A new Selfie mode is equipped in this new Instax cam. It automatically adjusts the brightness and shooting distance to the level optimized for selfie shots. There's also a mirror lens in front of the camera so you can check your best angle. A self-timer function is also featured in this camera for group shots.

One of its cool features is the Macro mode for close-up shots at a minimum of 30cm from the subject and a Landscape mode for landscape shots.

What I love about most about the Mini 70 is its modern stylish design and it comes in 3 colors: Canary Yellow, Island Blue, and Moon White.





By the way, Bea Alonzo is the newest endorser of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 70 and the X-A2. She has been seen using Fujifilm cameras during her recent trips to Japan.



I would love to own one for my next trips here and abroad. If you are interested to buy an Instax camera, check out their promos and gift packages below.

Green Banana Business Hotel is now open at the heart of one of Davao's busiest business district. This building was built in between Landco Bldg where I am currently working, and Pryce Tower along JP Laurel Avenue in Bajada. It's a very good strategy to put up a business hotel in the middle of the big establishments in the city. As a corporate employee, we bring people from our different branch here in Davao and we really find it hard to look for a good hotel for our guests.

Green Banana Business Hotel is business-friendly and very affordable. Room rates starts at P1,200. The room has hot and cold shower, cabled TV, WiFi connection, a mini bar, and high end beds.





For us, it is very accessible because it is just located in front of our building. It's near from malls, churches, banks, and restaurants. 7-Eleven is also located below the hotel and they have their own cafe, Jiggo's if you want to eat good Filipino dishes. Transportation is not a problem because the main road is just a minute away from the hotel.

I would really recommend this to our office managers if they will stay here in Davao for a couple of days. The comfort we need after work is just a few steps away from our office. It saves time, effort, and money too! I might spend a staycation here soon! :)
