manila, again

yesterday, i flew to manila to surprise banne (her reaction when she saw me at NAIA was worth it). i arrived 5.30 in the afternoon. she was scheduled to arrive at 11.00 pm from her connecting flight from Tokyo. so that means i have a full evening to spend in le manile.

but when you're ever in Manila and you don't want to stray too far from the airport, Mall of Asia is your best bet. pictures pictures.....

very slow service at PAL. very, very slow. PAL-SM City Cebu, for your action.

kite things at Mactan-Cebu International Airport. quite cute.

me.

that globe thing.

that San Miguel Bay Area thing.

no unauthorized pushcart vendors allowed here.

dancing fountain.

Chiggy's!!!! we used to have a friendly neighborhood Chiggy's at Cainta. :)

accidental porn!

Mann Hann!!!

i have this theory that Burger King is the best american fast food there is. (chowking is still the best of all). back in 2000, i fell in love with the (now closed) Katipunan branch. the burger selection is perfect.

they even have charging stations.
they even show full-length movies. i don't know what this does for their business, but there you go.

when i think of manila, i remember long long long queues at the grocery. that was back when i used to do my own groceries.

attention makers of Queensland Butter, please distribute in Cebu City!!! my mother will insist on having me horde on your delicious butter every time i'm in manila.

the Heritage Hotel.

the mini bar. no alcohol was consumed here.

SHE'S BAAAAAAAACK!!!!
