Summerfaction 2013: Your Fun Weekend Destination

I’ve been looking forward for my official summer break since March. There were many things going on with my school so I wasn’t able to enjoy the whole month of April. Some weeks were spent on studying for my exams and memorizing some items. Indeed, law school is a jealous mistress! Despite all my hectic schedule, I was still able to go to the beach with my blogger friends and travel to Cebu and Bohol with my parents. Now that second semester of my first year in College of Law is finally over (three days ago), I can already do everything I want.
There are many events lined up for my Summer 2013. One of those is attending the grandest summer event in the city: Summerfaction 2013. It is a month-long Music Festival in Davao City from April – May. It will bring Music, Food and Lifestyle together under one roof.

This event will color the summer of every Davaoeño and Davaoeña. Every weekend, new activities are organized to make Summerfaction the best. If you want to have a wonderful summer break, then make sure to visit Tienda del Mercado during weekends. Reward yourself with some fun activities! Bring your friends and family members along.

  21. It's nice that you get to enjoy summer even if you're in law school 🙂 My bf never got the chance to do so when he was still studying. And when I thought we can travel more after he graduated, came bar exam preparation, and now work. *sigh* Hopefully we'll still get to enjoy summer before it's over.
