I'll be honest with you, Manila isn't my favourite place. It's hard to describe why exactly, but it just isn't.  There are some beautiful, must see or interesting place though. Intramuros, the old Spanish part of the city is lovely to walk around also because of the importance for Philippino h…

One of the most famous rock bands in Manila during the 70’s era had this particular song titled after the Philippines capital city. “Manila” tells of a jet-setting lad who’d been to several cities around the world, but at a later stage of his carefree vagabonding still chose to be at th…

Ermita, Manila is a tourist belt area. A little bit rough compared to the night life area of Makati. But Ermita is kind of budget place and has a lot of character, the place is more affordable than Makati and Roxas Boulevard. There is Robinson Shopping Centre nearby and  is huge but I enjoyed …

It was definitely a tour to remember. I encourage every Filipino or anybody who wants to know the Philippines, the National Museum is the perfect place to visit. Although it is not really developed yet, there are still rooms where there is no aircondition and closed for renovation but it wouldn't hinder the viewers to enjoy the painting and relics. The place showcases the diversity of the Filipino culture.

On a normal friday in the office, people are allowed to come in on jeans as opposed to the normal long sleeves and slacks or barong and formal pants on a regular weekday. For this special friday, I bent the rule. Even people are allowed to wear jeans, we are not supposed to wear rubber shoes. On th…

“If you ever went back to the Philippines would you take me?” my 12-year-old olive skinned sister asked my mum. “Yes, probably.  If you wanted to go.” “Would you take me?” I asked, expecting the same answer. “No.” “Why?!”.  I was outraged that she thought I was too…

This blog is from ages ago but work and crap internet connections have kept it delayed so here are the photos from my Manila experiance. Manila is a very cool place, by the way, very fun, great food and good shopping. Shame I didnt get to spend more time enjoying the country instead of working and…

Being the college CHEAP YUCKies (Young Urban College Kids) that we were, we decided to take the ship from Manila (Luzon) to Iloilo (Visayas Region).  As far as i can remember, it only cost us Php1,400 (USD30) for return tickets back then.  We booked late so the only cabin we got was a cab…

I wasnt excited at all for my coming home trip. In the short period ive been here in China, Ive gone accustomed to liking the weather. As I hurried on to the airport bus near the railway station, I started to get a bit sad about leaving the country, so rich in history and culture. For me, China's o…
