So my parents and I had a short trip to Manila last week. My dad came from an international flight and arrived in Manila late in the afternoon while my mom and I took a domestic flight from Bacolod to Manila.

All pictures from my Iphone since I did bring my camera but I never used it. Lousy me.

Here's my Manila experience (CHOS) in pictures.

I always get the window seat whenever possible.


P815

Hello from me and mother (who prayed for the duration of the flight.)

P804

We arrived in Manila after two hours instead  of the usual one hour. I think there was much air traffic in NAIA at that time. This is the long line of people waiting for taxis.

P802

We stayed in Microtel Hotel which was conveniently located near SM Mall of Asia.

Good morning, Manila. What a great view outside my hotel room window.

An elevator GPOY is a must. Hihi.

P814

It was also the annual sale of Forever 21 (SM Megamall branch) and since there isn't any branch in Bacolod, yes, I have to go inside there and check out stuff (and purchase a few.)

Happy lemon makes me happy. Cocoa with rocksalt and cheese. Yum!

P817

I'm so hungry already!

P809

My parents don't seem to mind the endless walking and walking. Ugh.

P800

Mussels for my parents. (Not in the picture: chicken wings, onion rings, pumpkin soup which I didn't take a picture of.)

P806

Three cheese ravioli for me.

The dreaded Manila traffic in the afternoon. I didn't take note how long was the travel time from Ortigas to Pasay.

City lights.

That's me chilling in the hotel lobby since it's the only area with free wifi.

P812

Some of my purchases which included books, shoes, and shirts/blouses.

P801

It was espadrilles heaven for my mother in Sueno de Espadrilles (SM Mall of Asia branch.)

Beautiful cloud formations, yes?

Look at all the bikers and how they form a single line. Cute.

P816

Starting to pack again and fix our stuff since we were leaving after lunch.

P811

This sort of reminded me of how Greece would look like if I went there (what an imagination. Haha.) but this is actually the roof deck of Microtel with the infinity pool that was really small and I was disappointed.

P810
My parents as we are about to go to Gate 133.

And that's all folks.
