SM Mall of Asia & Manila Bay Boat Cruise

We started off our last day in the Philippines by visiting the Mall of Asia (it was actually a super quick visit because we were hungry. We ended up eating at a Filipino food buffet, La Fiesta, where we had our first taste of Filipino food in the Philippines (lumpia, lichon, chicharon). Also, a side note, Sam and Abi got wayyy too much food that they actually charged for leftovers (which they normally don’t do). Definitely embarrassing and hilarious at the same time.

   
    

We finished off our Philippine (and Asia 2015) vacation on a boat that sailed on Manila Bay, while watching the sun set. We also had more Filipino food (leche flan, pansit).

   
    
   

  

Reveling in Global City (Valkrie, Palace Pool Club, and Revel)

We started the night by going to Rufae Mae Quinto’s (aka Peachy) condo (which is right beside our hotel, the Fairmont). She has a pretty good view from her balcony (she also has a house maid named Rose and a driver).

   
   
After pre-drinking a bottle of whisky, Peachy took us to Global City. We started off the night at Valkrie. I was pretty impressed by the size and niceness of the club. At Valkrie, Peachy’s brother was celebrating his birthday. Also, at a separate, more exclusive booth upstairs (which had its own bathroom), Peachy’s super model friend (don’t remember her name) and James Reid were celebrating (didn’t remember to get a picture with him though).

At about 2am Peachy took us through Palace Pool Club, then we finished off our Global City outing by chilling with one of her other friends at a club called Velvet.

   

  

  

  

   
    
   

Exploring Makati & Manila (Intramuros / Fort Santiago)

We started our trip in the Philippines by eating at the Greenbelt shopping center, specifically at an Izakaya restaurant. It was pretty good and relatively cheap for the amount of food we ordered.

  
After, we checked out San Agustin church in Manila, where I was able to catch the last 20 minutes of mass (traffic was unexpectedly terrible, and all map apps estimates were way off). 

   
   
After, we explored the area (Intramuros / Fort Santiago). Not gonna lie, it was kinda sketchy walking around at night. We probably explored for 30 minutes, then called an Uber. In our exploration, we visited Jollibee and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception of Manila.
