It's my first time going to Manila and I was with my mom. We had a couple of bloopers at the airport as we don't often travel. I mean the last time I rode on a plane was in grade school. LOL. And the embarassing part is that I got an upset stomach on the plane and you can guess what happened- I dashed to the lavatory and ... I know I wasn't nervous that time. I love rides. what caused my upset stomach was probably air... yeah... we boarded on the earliest flight in the morning--- 4:30 am flight. Anyways, we stayed @ PBB hotel (Park Bed and Breakfast hotel) as recommended by the taxi driver since we didn't book ahead. It was a great place (not really the 5- star type but decent and cute enough to stay in) Then we roamed around Makati to look for the Visa Centre then went to Mall Of Asia... There was a problem with the manager's check so it was really a difficult day that day... i kept calling my dad to withdraw and deposit money... sigh... BDO needs cash to issue a manager's check as they don't accept cebu bdo accounts. well whatever, I'm glad it's over.
The next day I submitted the documents @ the visa centre (glad there's no problem anymore). Then my mom and I went to Manila Cathedral (with the help of a kind guy who directed us on what bus/jeep to take). Sigh... we were so lost! (tiring but fun). Manila is similar to Cebu and if you ask me, I wouldn't want to live there... It's so busy and the traffic is always heavy! If we kept taking a taxi wherever we went I doubt if we'd still have money left! Cebu is more peaceful though. I love Cebu! no place like home!... hehehe Manila is good if you only want to travel. We got back @ the hotel at around 6 or 7, and were very tired.
The next day we went back to MOA to buy a couple of stuff then we boarded the plane back home @ 5 30pm...
Cebu finally!!!
Ciao!
