Everything last minute for this trip. Did not have any proper plan for it, but excited. No proper plan may miss lot of wonderful place from the past experience. Anyway, got a bad time before the day of vacation starts.
With a new color hair, with a korean meal and i start my journey at the middle of the night awaiting my journey to Phillipines. I boarded, at 1am and arrived sharp at 5am in the early morning. I also got to know 2 Philipinos where both of the girl is real friendly as we chat in the plane. There i got to know lot of place to go from them. With a welcome by my friends to Makati, Manila. Along the way to look for our breakfast, we went to the 7-Eleven to top up our phone, is excited to see how different their 7-Eleven. Then as we enter the business building centre, there were rules to have different way to exit and entrance. We then had a breakfast at Jollibee the famous fast-food where it is already crowded with people in the early morning. All the securities are with their gun.
Althought i'm not tire but my friends are exhausted due to their working hour. I also take a nap, then i went to swim, It is such a cool day. Then i got to know a little boy called Daniel Keith a.k.a Keith. We played water together and he brings me joy. He called me "ti te/ti to" which means auntie, is fun though. He keep on wanted me to hold him but not his nanny. He is cute. After finish i prepared to go out with my Filipinos friends Michael. He drove me out and as i expect he could brought me lot of local experience.
I got to know that their car tinted black (which couldn't see through from outisde) is legal. He brought me to the most famous n biggest mall here,SM - Mall of Asia. He brought me to the Haagen-Dazs outlet, it is very nice but just like Malaysia; not that much people in the shop. Then i thought of watching movie if there is chance. But he said that in Phillipines there is movies festival so there is no other movies will be screen except Phillipines movies and there is no suitable movie for me at this time. The ticket is not that expensive only 150peso per ticket.
We then move to the opposite side of the mall which is the bay. Along the bay there is lot of restaurant, bar, playground, mini fun fair, small stall (selling junk food & drinks), and standing comedian along the bay. We then have our dinner at the Giligan's restaurant, there is live band also. It's fun to be there. He ordered some dishes with rice, there is Kare-Kare Gulai (seems like peanut butter paste with vege) It taste weird but the with the shrimp sauce it feels better, SiSikh which is the pig ears with vege (seems like salad) it is nice it is crispy, and till now still not remember what is that fried pork names it is nice. He also recommend me that Mangoes juice is the most yummy drinks in Phillipines. I've tried out green mangoes juice, it is really "Yummy". We also had a beer there to relax with the blow of wind and listen to the live band. We also have a long talk there bout the culture here and Malaysia. We seems to be same alike.
Then we went to Resort World as there is casino and also live bad performance and Russian performance. We then meet up with his cousin and also cousin's friends. We then drink at there while watching the performance. After that, they each used 100 peso to play few games of the "Big & Small". Then we went to a bar to have drink. I will known that night in that bar as "Celebrities night" where they said the most famous actor and actress is in that bar also had other actor and actress there. Then Michael send me back to the place where my friend is waiting for me. The Blue Angel which have PR to sit with us accompany us to play and drinks. But the girl is not allowed to drink our drinks. There i drink another bottle, but i'm tire till i keep close my eyes. but our journey never stop there.
Then we get to the Socialist (bar/club) thought to stay there to have a drink but we are not able to do so as there is no table for us. Then we eat our supper opposite the Socialist. The fried fish is so tasty, spicy tou fu real spicy, and vegetable. There we end our day.
The next day i wake up too late. I felt so stress cause is already half a day gone without doing anything. We then eat McDonald as my brunch but is nice experience cause their fast-food may come with spaghetti or rice. Then i alone went to the nearby malls a.k.a Makati Square/Plaza fair, it looks like low yat plaza which a bit more local compare to low yat plaza. I bought a pair of flip flop(100peso) and also a book (45peso). I felt that i started in love with buying books. Then i back to condo and do some tidy up the room where i stay.
Then we went to Walters Mart to eat our dinner, Mr.Choi Restaurant which is chinese cuisine. It feels so good where all of us eat together. Then back to home and take some rest, we then wait till around 12am we went to watch adult show. Our first show is at White Bird, man show where there is gigolo services which is provided. Its real weird but it is a very first time experience.There is man versus man kissing and also the lady keep playing the guy there. I really don't understand why is that happening.
After that we went to each pub and bar around there but is pay nothing only visiting. After go through all the bar and pub there we went to another place by taking a taxi. We watch Lady Boxing then with a drinks as well. First we watch short man boxing, then lady boxing, and lastly additional show which is the foreigner go to the stage and fight(bleeding as well). We walk down the street, to a restaurant eat chinese cuisine. It is different taste but feel good though but i'm a bit drunk. It is so enjoy without any stress. Then back home and rest.
I wake up at 9am in the morning and prepare breakfast; ham sandwiches and also omelet with milk. Then research been done by my friend to travel around Intramuros. We then reached Fort Santiago. We used almost an hour to walk the whole place. But we do not even know the history about that place so we just walk without any feeling. Just get into the museum and look around everything about the walled of city. Then we continue our walk to the Manila Cathedral which a very nice church. First time ever sit in the church, it is really feeling so calm n relax. Really wonder how they could make that peaceful feeling.
We then have someone used horse riding to ride us around the Intramuros all the tourist spot (Rizal Park, St Augustine, also other parks). But then, he suggest us to play real gun where he said it is cheap, in the end is actually expensive it cost us 3100peso. We have no money left and he charge us for the ride at 500peso as it is different from what earlier he had promise us at the charge of 300peso. The moment we play the gun, it is so scary and it makes me feel so dirty, also my hand felt so pain after all. Then we paid 200peso back home.
Then take a little rest, my friends went to work and me alone went to Greenbelt, Makati which is a very big malls. It makes me crazy, it is a garden concept Malls. But mostly there is branded store. Then it is connected to lot of malls there. The next stop will be Landmark, it is seems to be more like Sg.Wang in Malaysia. I really not able to walk anymore cause the first stop of Greenbelt, it is real big till i can't even finish the whole mall. But the feeling is real good. The Landmark seems to be a bit old mall but it is still same as it is that big and i can't really recognize how is their pathway goes. Then next i reach SM, Alaya Malls then my leg felt so pain, till i stop walking and eat at Chow King. It is actually not bad, it is fast-food store but is chinese cuisine. Their sauce is soy sauce but i think they should change their drinks to chinese tea cause is chinese cuisine.
I also got to buy some brownies which look very nice. And also on the way walking to take taxi i saw mango pearl juice. There is lot of small stall, and also lot of people buying ticket to take MRT home where it is due to after working hour. Then i was stuck there cause i cant find the way to taxi stand, there at last i found the taxi stand. Then while waiting at the taxi stand, i talk to a cute guy from China where he is here to study. Felt that Ask, Believe, and Receive in "The Secret" is such a good step to follow. Felt so happy about talking to the cute guy. Then i back home and have rest.
The next day i went to Ocean Park. It is really nothing much to visit n look around. But an experience towards others country's ocean park. Should have find a day to visit what Malaysia have in Aquaria world. Travelling alone to this place make me felt such a different feeling towards this place. On the way back to my friend's house, there is some kids who keep on knocked window to beg for some tips. Luckily the taxi driver did lock the door for me earlier. I get back to Makati, my friend's house before 2pm, there i get my lunch and also waiting for my other group of friend from Malaysia to join over to the Boracay island which is my second part of my story in Phillippines.
As they arrive on that day i brought them to the Mall of Asia and also visiting to the Lady Boxing bar. Then we also have a supper at the 7-Eleven to end our day and awaiting for the next day to start our journey.
