Short Trip to Manila, WordCamp Philippines and Food Trip!
Flying to Manila
I know this is already a late post but still I wanna share what I have been to this previous weekend. Well, I just had a short trip/vacation to Manila last weekend. I took the morning flight of Cebu Pacific Airline last Friday and touched-ground Manila around 10:00am. It was a fair weather and just right to welcome me to Manila. But damn it was really hot and the air is heavy.
My brother went to fetch me with a motorcycle and just imagine having that vehicle flow with the Manila traffic. But, it was smooth and fast (para akong lumilipad dahil sa bilis). I stayed where my brother stays, at the AFPOVAI Village, near NAIA Terminal 3. Kaya, it only took him 10 minutes to drive us home. The place was nice but one thing I hate about it is that every hour may dumadaan na airplane. Ikaw ba naman ang tumira malapit sa NAIA, naku po! Just headache, I did not slept well.
SM Mall of Asia
Friday that was, I went to MOA and my brother headed to their office. I was alone roaming around SM Mall of Asia (SM MOA). It was the first time I visited MOA, kasi I thought when I was still working in Manila few years ago that MOA is that far. I mean mahirap mag-commute papunta dun, hindi pala. Toink!
I took lunch early kasi I did not had my breakfast before leaving Zamboanga. I was restaurant-hunting and ended up to T.G.I. Friday’s for lunch and that was just the most expensive lunch I spent in my entire life. Sigh. But it was worth the money I spent because it was a very delicious meal and beverage I had (see photo below).
After that lunch, I was looking for a place to do some work; a coffee shop perhaps. And yes, I tried all the coffee shops but they don’t have power outlet (lowbat na kasi ang battery ko) and the WiFi is not free. I need to buy Php 100 worth of Globe Broadband (WiFi) Prepaid Access. That Php100 is just for 1 hour. Whaaaatt??? So, expensive!!! Buti pa sa Zamboanga free ang WiFi sa mga coffee shop.
