Design Your Slippers Contest this Kadayawan at SM Davao 2011

Kadayawan is fast approaching, compared to Araw ng Dabaw I always considered Kadayaw to be the best. There are more floats, more participants, and its livelier and to top that of, it will start in the afternoon. That means no more sunblock for me this time.

Aside from the Indak-Indak and Floral parade, most establishment has their own gig, and contest before Kadayawan starts, one would be SM. SM has many contest and event that would be held in their place. One such event would be the Design Your Slippers Contest.

SM Davao Department Store once again brings the Design Your Slippers Contest this Kadayawan Season!

Mindanao Cosplay Summit at SM 2010

Im a big fan of anime, but mainly anime such as Naruto, Bleach and Eyeshield. So when my wife told me there was a cosplay contest to be held at SM Davao, I told her that we should watch it. I admire those kids who joined cosplay, it showcase their creative talent in designing and more. The Mindanao Cosplay Summit started with a song from a band(sorry gals I forgot their band name). After the song the cosplay contest begins, it was divided into 3 categories, the first was the individual category, then the doubles and group. We only watched the singles event, since we have to be back early since our baby girl is waiting already for us. Here are some photos of the event.

I still cant remember the name of the band hahahaha

The host for the event, forgot their names to, but their cute and petite. My wife really likes the voice of the female host.

Some of the singles contestants

More cosplay contestants waiting for their turn.

The judges......

The place was filled with people.

Though we didn't finish the event, we manage to take some photos of cosplayer's outside,some just taking a break and waiting for their turn.

Congrats to all Mindanao Cosplayers who joined the event, hats off to you guys and gals. Hope there will be more events like this in years to come.

Mall Baggage Counter

I really like going to SM, why? because they wont let me put my bag on their baggage counter. I mean the moment you go in to SM, they would check your bag at the entrance and you can bring your bag anywhere inside. Unlike on some malls here in Davao, like Victoria Plaza, you would go in, they would check your bag, then when you're inside already and you would like to go to the shoes department, they would check your bag AGAIN!! and will let you leave your bag in their baggage counter. WHAT THE HELL they already check it when I enter, then inside they would check it again?? There is also this rule in Gaisano South that upon entering well they would check your bag, the t-shirt and shoe department are at the 2nd and third floor, to reach their you must take the escalator, now at the escalator the guard will block you if you have a backpack, I was once denied to go up because i have a backpack and the guard lets this woman go up because she only had a handbag( but her hand bag is much much bigger than my puny backpack) damn , tried confronting the guard saying whats the difference between my puny backpack compared to her enormous handbag, the guard just says its their rule, damn that rule. So i had to go find the baggage counter in order to go up, what a stupid rule.
