^^ Fhel, saan nabibili?  Ako interested kahit ordinary access lang and for Sunday only kasi Sunday lang naman dating namin doon. Tia!

I think, better pa rin ang may ordinary access kesa wala, sa dami ng tao dun!
Ang pag-iisipan ko ay kung pati yung hindi "photo enthusiasts" ay kukuha rin...

[ayionick]

Fhel, yung babasagin talaga. Kung meron malaki, as in common size ng ceramic mug. O kaya ok lang din kung yung maliit, parang yung nasa gitna banda na China: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wleAUHVCChI/TPmutG67M5I/AAAAAAAACTE/Dno0R5ZBmO0/s1600/Group%2BShot.JPG

[lakwatsa]

^oks noted ayi

^^Sol, nagtanong ako mismo dun sa organizer, ang sabi nya pang photographer lang daw yun access pass na yun na binebenta. actually pag media nga e free. priority daw kasi nila ang media na magccover nung mga parades. tapos since maraming mga tao na into photography, naglabas sila ng full access at ordinary access passes para makapag picture din sila ng maayos. bale andun mismo sila makikigulo (at hanap ng anggulo) sa mga nagpperform. hehe

the rest of the visitors, pwede na nga mag abang sa streets na lang outside the barricaded area.

yun Indak indak at Pamulak, parehong 8am na ha.

[kikay iska]

^ wow fhel! napaka-thorough mo talaga mag-research/inquire!
anong qualifications nila "pang-photographer" yung access na binebenta?
interested kasi kami ng friends ko dito.  basta may slr? hehe

[inchiqueko]

paiba iba naman ang sched ng indak indak! dati 8am, naging 12nn, ngayon 8am na ulit. haay. sana final na yan! 

sis inchiqueko, pashare naman prices ng mga fruits ngayon sa davao para may idea kami. may mangosteen na ba? sulit kayang bumili dun sa street market sa Palma Gil street?

question pala, pano makakapunta sa Abreeza Mall kung galing akong San Pedro Church?

Hi sis,

Sorry for the delayed reply. Bihira na kasi akong mag login dito eh.

Sis, hindi pa ako nakapaglibot this week eh so I don't have an idea how much yung mga prutas
ngayon dito.  At this time of the year usually murang mura talaga pero ang alam ko hindi masyadong
maganda ang harvests this year so while maraming prutas, not as bountiful naman as years before.

Actually at this time, the durian would go as low as 40 pesos for kilo from the usual 80 - 100 per kilo
and usually may oversupply of durian pero lately parang hindi ganun kadami. 

If you know your way around you can go to Bankerohan public market, dun ka [textspeak!] makakabili
ng mura.  Dont have info on the street market sa Palma Gil Street.

I'll try na maglibot before Friday (19) to check out the fruits and post here.

When ba dating ninyo dito?

Also if you want to reach Abreeza from San Pedro Church...from San Pedro Church tawid ka lang sa
kabilang side ng CM Recto St. Then para ka ng jeep na may BAJADA(or JP Laurel) - SASA - PANACAN route or
the BAJADA(or JP Laurel) - BUHANGIN jeeps.  Basta yung jeep na dadaan ng Bajada/JP Laurel, dadaan
yan lahat sa Abreeza.  Dont worry sis pag nasa jeepney stop kayo, puwede kayong pumara ng jeep
then ask the driver if dadaan ng Abreeza.  Hindi naman kasi tulad sa Metro Manila ang mga jeep
dito na hahabulin mo at sasakay ka habang umaandar.   Mas relaxed dito. hehehhe. 

PERO take note ha that major streets downtown including CM Recto will be closed to traffic on Aug
20 Saturday for the Indak Indak and on Aug 21 Sunday for the Pamulak parade.

^^thanks ng marami sis ha sa Friday ang dating ko dyan

ay ganun ba, Bangkerohan pa rin talaga kahit nagkalat na yun mga nagtitinda ng fruits gawa ng festival? hehe. sige noted ko yan. kala ko kasi mura dun sa Palma Gil kasi parang ginawa lang yun para sa festival kaya 10-days lang sila dun.

noted yun sakayan pa-Abreeza. ay oo nga pala close yun CM Recto ng Sat at Sun. Friday na lang siguro ako pupunta after mag Croc Park.

eto yun mga balak ko gawin ng Friday:
1. pano pumunta SM Davao from Royale House (CM Recto) - naalala ko sakay lang ng Route 4 na jeep. tama ba?
2. pano umuwi sa Royale House if galing ng Apo ni Lola?
3. from Royale, magtataxi na lang siguro kami papuntang Crocodile Park. wala naman yata kasing dumadaan na public transpo dun sa area. then taxi na lang ulit pa-Abreeza Mall.
4. pano umuwi ng Royale House kung galing ng Abreeza Mall?

tapos sis whole day ba ang indak indak? kasi 8am na sya magsstart. i wonder anong oras matatapos? di ba after ng street parade nila may performance showdown pa sila. anong oras kaya matatapos yun? iniisip ko kasi ano pa pwedeng gawin ng Sat e. pag di kami natuloy sa Abreeza ng Fri, gagawin ko na lang sya ng Sat.

Sol, yun lang di ko alam kung may basis sila. pero nakalagay "hobbyist" so malamang pag may SLR ka pasok ka na haha! try mo email ito - jojiealcantara@gmail.com
pinanood ko rin sa youtube yun videos last yr para may idea ako sa itsura. so tama nga na may harang sya tapos yun mga tao nasa likod ng harang then yun mga photographers nasa loob kasama yun mga nagpeperform.

[beauregarde]

@sis ayi sorry ngayon lang ako ulet nag-login... sige bili kami pag nadaan kami starbucks. Text kita pag me nakita ako, pati si sis lakwatsa para di ma-double yung bili... excited na kami bukas na alis namin!!!

Sana kahit di kami kumuha ng pass eh may ma-picturan pa din kami, kaso goodluck sa min dahil for sure balyahan ito sa dami ng tao lolz...

[lakwatsa]

^sige sis hehe

watch mo sis yun youtube videos last yr. dun sa parade parang may mga area naman na wala gaano tao so oks lang. pero yun sa performance part na yun maraming tao panigurado. but who knows since may stage na sila ngayon, baka maganda pa rin ang view ng lahat kahit na maraming pipol.

sana mag enjoy kami ni mother at wag matulad sa naging experience namin dati sa Kaamulan hehe. 

[beauregarde]

^bakit sis ano nangyare sa inyo nun kaamulan festival?

me mga list ba kayo ng kakainan sa davao? lolz naglista kasi ko kaso di ko naman alam kung malalapit ba yung mga sinulat ko. Mga ilang minutes away kaya ang jack ridge from the city?

[ayionick]

^malayo ang jack ridge, nadaanan namin yun nung papuntang Lachi's pero mas malayo pa ang jack ridge kasi nasa bundok sya hehe. ok din sa sa colasa's restaurant sabi ni shegothim. may pinuntahan kame nila lakwatsa na masarap na beef kaso OOS yung beef nila nung nagpunta kame. Karlyn's ba yun?

[beauregarde]

^ nalito ko sis ayi, mas malayo yung jack ridge pero nadaanan nyo sya nung papunta kayong lachi? e di mas malayo yung lachi?

[lakwatsa]

@Maf, kasi sis yun sa min dati sa Kaamulan meron din mga pass pass na ganyan. tapos di namin alam pano kukuha (wala rin info sa net buti nga yun sa kadayawan ngayon meron). as in dun lang namin nalaman nun napansin namin bakit yun iba nakakaakyat dun sa stage ang ganda ng view nila. ang hirap manood kasi umuulan pa so super maputik yun area. ang hirap din maghanap ng magandang pwesto.

nun nagtanong kami sa tourism booth nila, ubos na daw yun pass. pinapasok na lang kami sa loob ng tourism booth kasi from there pwede mo masilip yun showdown (sa likod sila ng stage). as in silip lang ang nagawa namin hehe. di namin na enjoy so umalis na lang kami.

Karlyn's nga yun pinuntahan namin. sayang nga e sarap pa naman ng steak nila dun tapos mura lang.

[ayionick]

^haha sorry kung nalito ka sakin, maf.
bale yung daan papuntang lachi's pakanan kame, sa jack ridge ata diretso pa. hindi pala nadaanan kundi tanaw lang namin mula sa kalsada (bago kame kumanan) yung jack ridge kasi nasa bundok nga sya. try nyo yung karlyn's lalo kung mahilig kayo sa angus beef at steaks.

[beauregarde]

@sis lakwatsa hala first time pa naman namin manonood ng kadayawan sana naman kahit pano maenjoy natin sis kahit wala tayong passes hehe.

@si ayi thank you! sige try din namin yang karlyn's! sana kayanin ng budget haha parang andaming masarap kainan sa davao eh
