Pasko Fiesta in Davao City

Davao city celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception last Wednesday, December 8, 2010. San Pedro Cathedral was packed with people attending the Eucharist celebration. San Pedro street was in fiesta mood. The street was decorated with buntings and there were a lot of booths selling ukay-ukay, products made in Davao and agricultural plants.The city government joined the festive atmosphere by celebrating the Pasko Fiesta since it's already December.

Christmas lanterns made of recyclable materials

I visited a friend at University of the Immaculate Conception (UIC), Bonifacio campus before having my Christmas vacation and I was really impressed by the lanterns they decorated in their building. It was made of recyclable materials like plastic bottles of soft drinks, caps, indigenous materials. Here are photos of it....

One way of taking care of Mother Earth is to reuse, recycle whatever materials that are still usable. We just have to be resourceful and creative. Especially in this time that global warming is already alarming. We can do our share in preserving our environment and make it livable for the next generation to come. We can do it!

Greenhills Buffet

We were celebrating the feast of the Immaculate Conception yesterday. After attending the mass at the San Pedro Cathedral, me and hubby went to Greenhills Buffet for our lunch. When we arrived there, we right away looked at the display of foods and hubby asked me if it's OK, I said yes because I like the food they serve. There's pork curry. There were seafood like fish, shells, and my favorite crab. And there were fruits on the dessert table aside from the sweets. So I told hubby that we'd push through with our plan of having a lunch buffet there.

Here are photos of it:


The entrance of Greenhills Buffet. They charge Php128.00 exclusive of drinks.


Dessert table - an array of fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, green mango. There are a number of sweet delicacies also. I just don't know the name but they are delicious.

Our empty plates. No leftovers or else, they will charge us 150 pesos.

Display of their foods are good. There were rice - fried and plain rice, you just have to choose. There were around 12 viands including chicken, pork, seafood delicacies. There was also a chicken soup. Greenhills buffet is located at Camus Street. Just at the back of GS mall, near Apo View Hotel. Hubby had 4 trips to the food display table. I had only two. And I told hubby not to add anymore or he'll overeat. We went out at Greenhills Buffet feeling bloated for we were very full. LOL
