Davao Adventure Begins! 🌟

14 July 2024: The Start of a Challenging Adventure

This day marked a significant step for me. As someone living with atypical autism and agoraphobia, it took a few days for me to feel comfortable enough to record. I was a bit shy at first, but on 14 July, I finally built up the courage. We took a taxi to Gaisano Mall, where we enjoyed a hearty meal at Pizza Hut. Afterward, I placed an order for four head caps, each featuring my YouTube logo and other custom designs.

and later that night, I visited Pompanda's old house.

It was an overwhelming experience because it was my first trip outside without Pompanda, and I was with people I barely knew. Despite the anxiety, I managed to push through.

15 July 2024: Pompanda’s Special Birthday

The next day was a special one! We celebrated Pompanda’s birthday at a pool house with their family. While I didn’t film much due to the copyrighted music playing in the background, it was a meaningful day spent with loved ones.

While at the pool house party, I noticed a poor cat sitting on a tall cement wall that everyone else ignored. Since I was the only one tall enough to see it, I decided to share some pork with the cat.

Later, I received an early gift from Kimchi a brand-new microphone. It felt great to have thoughtful friends who support my vlogging journey.

16 July 2024: A Fun Tailoring Mishap

On 16 July, we visited Tailoring Sta. Ana to have my jacket pocket repaired. Unfortunately, they were unable to assist, which was disappointing because I usually surprise everyone who helps me. Thankfully, Kimchi kindly offered to handle it herself.

After that, we went shopping for gifts for the jungle man.

After that, we took a cool bicycle with a sidecar, and it was a fun ride with a cool boy who rode the cycle to the next mall.

After we stopped, I saw Kimchi give money to an old granny.

We also picked up some tailoring supplies for Kimchi to work on my jacket and bought more gifts for the jungle man. After taking a taxi home, I spread everything I bought out on the floor.

Later, Kimchi worked on the jacket and added a "secret pocket" as requested. It turned out to be quite amusing when the pocket wasn’t as discreet as I had hoped! The pocket was quite large, and the sewing line on the front of the jacket was very visible, a big square line.

I had to say it looked good just to avoid hurting Kimchi's feelings, as she had spent several hours sewing it. I wanted to make sure she knew I appreciated her effort!

In the evening, we took a taxi to Jack’s Ridge, which took a few hours due to heavy traffic. On the mountain, we encountered thunder and extreme rain. When we headed home, the rain was so intense that it took a while to find a taxi, and there was significant traffic getting back.

As a result, I didn’t have time to sleep because I needed to pack for Episode 2’s jungle adventure. We left around 3 AM for Ep 2, meaning I was awake the entire day and night.
