My cousin, my dad and I headed out to Greenhills Shopping Center to buy my cell phone.  They were still closed when we got there so we went to Chow King for Siopao and 

Well we finally got here, the rain stopped just enough to get us to Manila. We are staying in Makati (the nicer area) this time and treating ourselves to nice accommodation. Went out last night with Mimmy and Miles for food and a few drinks....was great to see Mim. Now we are wasting time before ou…

My friends and I went there for the first time last February 15, 2008 (Friday). It was an assignment for my TRATOUR Class under Mr. Victor Vibal. Since I am a travel and tourism enthusiast, I was very amazed on how the prices in the TTE were in super sale! Keeping in mind, I could easily book r…

We came in the early morning from Shanghai to Manila, just to catch here another flight to Taipei. We had only 7 hours between flights, so it was obvious we had to get out of the airport (which is the coldest one i guess, coz the aircon settings create the climate inside the terminal 3 on the Antar…

My journey began the night before my flight to Singapore. I was at a net station, furiously typing my resignation letter while chatting with some friends. I'm sure I did more of the latter, but I managed to finish the letter and handed it to my supervisor before finally saying goodbye to the job I'…

I…

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when I got a phonecall from Seoul-based travbuddy Howyoodoin (Mark). He has finally arrived in Manila, and was currently having his lunch in Robinson's mall. Incidentaly, the mall was just right beside my office so I decided to meet him, and we had an hour-long…

somehow, i never thought that this would happen to me, i never told my parents about it.  of what happened, surely they would get angry at me of course. and again, how would someone - foreigner or not would enjoy their trips if people like this like leeches keep sucking things out from you? i …

Before  leaving on this trip I was lucky that a couple TB's contacted me with helpful advice and even an offer to arrange a tour.  More on that later. It took three flights and 30 hours (delays included) of travel time. I've done it before so, no problem. So my new TB's met me at 8am.…

It was fun! Too bad I had to go home early because of work...tsk tsk tsk///

This day started at an ungodly hour of 5am.. my flight for Manila was due to depart at 6.30am. Met a very grumpy Matt at Changi airport and we proceeded on to catch our flight.
