Manila is the cosmopolitan capital of the Philippines. It is situated in the island of Luzon in the north, the biggest island mass in the country. Since colonial times, it has the largest stronghold of the Spanish Empire in the Far East, making it a strategic point of trading between Europe, Asia and the Americas. To this day, Manila is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Asia, offering a cornucopia of cultures.
The capital city of Manila is named after a white-flowered mangrove plant, the nilad (May + nilad = "there is" + "nilad"). Some of the attractions include the well-preserved walled city of Intramuros, the National Museums, the CCP Complex (Cultural Center of the Philippines), and the newly-opened Manila Ocean Park. __________

And we will continue to do so as the TB community continues to grow.
I went to the TB meet-up yesterday with less expectations. While on the way to SM Megamall last night, I was just thinking that I would go there to help welcome the new TBs, and talk with the others I haven't met yet in person.

I was inside the train when my mobile phone beeped. It was a message from Ted saying he was already in our meeting place. Wow, he was early... to think that I only harassed him to join me and Deats for the planned "all boys night out" ( that's why Jenneth DID NOT join us =D ).
The schedule was to pick Deats up from Friendly's but we we're kinda' early that Deats was just having his dinner in a resto nearby, but it didn't take him long to finish his friend chicken and French Fries. By 9...

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip:
It was just after 5am when i was dropped into the Manila suburbs and for the first time in ages, i really didn't feel safe.
