2012 / Philippines / Manila

December 14, 2012
Flew there on business!!! *_* (Sorry damn suaku I never sit before okay) Uhm we just got business class seats although we had booked economy ones hehe... didn't enjoy the same luck on the flight back though.


Obligatory plane shots ~



The view from the top floor (35th) of the hotel!

My brother & I ran out of the restaurant to snap a photo of jeepneys in a complete touristy fashion. This is their mini-bus? Apparently the big buses only ran on the main roads. 


Bloody obscene amount of koi fish in a river in a new town...


@ Tagaytay


I think this is their ECP? There were a lot of families/groups of friends bbq-ing at each hut.







LOVE the outlined buildings!!! What a pity that the view from the 35th floor can't capture the entire series of Rockwell buildings. Even the highway near it was outlined by Rockwell (a private company)! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a much better view the next time we go to the Philippines heh... if we do la.

On the first day we covered all the malls my brother had researched online? Each mall was really huge but didn't have much to offer. They either sold all luxury brands or uhm less-than-trendy stuff lol. Thankfully we went to Greenhills on the second day which was like air-conditioned Bugis and the bags/clothes/shoes/pearls/souvenirs/tech/ stuff are already separated nicely. My parents and my brother all bought clothes and shoes but I only got an iPhone screen protector out of the whole trip lol. The taxi queues at the end of both days were crazy. We queued for about an hour each time when the ride was only 10-15 minutes. Yet, our hotel was not really in walking distance.

On the third day, we went to Tagaytay where we could have taken a boat and a horseback ride to the active volcano but we didn't. That's all the scenic stuff up there. The traffic back was sooo bad. Gah the traffic jams!

And that's it! We came back on the fourth day. Not a very exciting trip.

p.s. All the photos were taken with the iPhone because this genius here forgot to bring the camera. Turns out that the iPhone camera was sooo convenient to use? The photo quality isn't all that compromised either.
