Davao Wordpresser

For sure, you have read a lot of articles and blog posts with this title. Well, mine is just among the many. There might be other versions of it like “The Car That Blogging Bought” or the famous one from Problogger “The House That Blogging Bought” (I wonder how many people have bought a house from blogging alone).

Well, the laptop isn’t purely mine. It’s my girlfriend’s. But I was working a lot for her on her blogs (since she was very busy with her full time job then) at the time we were thinking of buying one for her. It’s basically for the satisfaction of both of us buying our very first laptop without asking from our parents a single penny. It was mainly for her masters degree as she is still taking it as of the moment of writing. But, later on we realized how else can a laptop serve us.

For me for one, it helps me a lot during meeting with current and prospect clients. The discussion and explanations seem more easy with the laptop as a visual aid. Plus, it also makes blogging much more fun if you choose to blog on a coffee shop (like the thing I’m doing right now, hehe).

I’m in cafe called Pronto Mario. It’s a small coffee shop with really great prices for quite ample meals. If you happen to be in Davao City, you can locate it near Gaisano Mall, beside The Paper Tree Bookstore. They serve good meals at a very affordable price.

Anyway, enough of the plugging (they didn’t pay me by the way). As I was saying, having this laptop is really handy, especially for business people. Laptops and other gadgets are getting more and more affordable. I’m not sure how this one costs here. Its HP Pavilion dv271nr by the way. We got it from a family in the US as gadgets like these are way much cheaper there.

Well, that’s about it really. I got quite busy lately which explains the absence of posts, hehe. I hope to get back to my IE career but with IT twist this time as it really interest me.

I am still in this application which, when successful, requires me to work to Manila. Well, I hope so as this is a good multinational company. Still, at the back of my mind, I am thinking of the comforts of Davao City. Manilenyos (and manilenyas) who have seen Davao for quite sometime would agree with this I think. You see, Davao does not only offer a sweet comfy life, it also gives you luxurious vacation at very affordable prices. White sand beaches are only 15 minutes away from the city. Manilenyas from the company I worked at before was surprised at how convenient Samal Beaches are. They often go to the beach early in the morning for a swim and head for the office at nine, hehe (Talking about making the most out of their stay in Davao).

Most of the Davaoenyos I know who had the taste of life in Manila (or the bad side of it perhaps) always appreciate the Davao life style. If only you would have a Manila rate working in Davao, the best of both metros.

Well, we’ll see where this application heads me. I’ll be updating you soon. I hope this gets me better and not bitter, hehe! Ciao!
