Meet me at the Eye


Mall of Asia recently unveiled its newest brainchild- the Eye. For a minimal fee of PHP100, one can have a bird’s eye view of the Manila Bay, MoA Complex and the surrounding environs.  At 160 feet, MoA Eye is petite compared to the famous London Eye which towers at 440+ feet and the Singapore Flyer (the largest in the world) which is a 541 feet giant. The Great Wheel of China, which will stand at 682 feet, has yet to open. No matter what, the EYE will be another eye-capturing landmark in this side of the metro. Let’s have an EYEBALL in the EYE!

Tagaytay…One More Time


I can’t exactly remember how many times I’ve been to Tagaytay but I can recall the memories I have every time I am there. I keep coming back to this place yet never get tired of it. It seems like every time is as unique and distinct as the previous. It was my first time to be in Tagaytay on Ber months and this made the trip even more special. Another first, Taal Volcano wasn’t visible at that time (choosy Volcano!). The smell of pine trees, misty atmosphere and cool breeze never cease to amaze me. Tagaytay, until we meet again! (I hope the government will do a major,major overhaul in People’s Park coz the structure is deteriorating fast.)

Christmas in the Metro


Makati City- Christmas is in the air, literally, in Ayala Triangle. After a hectic office schedule, one can stroll through the Christmas decor-laden streets of Makati Business District on your way to the Triangle. One can also get a view of different but interesting building façade adornments which makes the walk overwhelming, to say the least.  The Ayala Triangle is turned into a Christmas Light and Music Wonderland with thousands of light bulbs flickering to different Christmas tunes. The best thing about this, restos abound the place! One can grab a great slice of cake in Banapple or a sumptuous pizza in Amici (just be early coz queue might be time-consuming). Christmas is truly just around the corner!
