In May, I took a couple of days off and headed over to Manila for a short break with my friends Sherrie and Soon Wei. There, we were hosted by hostess extraordinaires - Francis, Stacey and Kristine. They showed us part of what Manila has to offer and the best of Pinoy hospitality. And when I say the best, I mean THE best!
Francis, Stace & Kristine, I know I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, thanks so much for the awesome five days and it was great to see Manila thru’ your eyes ;) I’ll definitely be back. Till then, take care and we’ll continue our ‘Philippines/Malaysia Friendship Channel’ soon. Heheheh…






Sherrie had some pesos from her Dad and it turned out that they were soooo old that many merchants didn’t accept them. We had a good laugh looking at people’s amazement ooh-ing and aah-ing whenever they saw the notes.

Cafe Breton! My new-favourite dessert place. That dessert you see below is called “Fantastic Pinay” - a concoction of crepe with mango slices, nutella and whipped cream is to die for! I call it “The Love of My Life” :p Nom nom.

With our wonderful hosts at Tagaytay :) L-R: Soon Wei, Francis, Stacey, Sherrie & I


Some shots from our hike up Taal Volcano Island. It was absolutely gorgeous!

With my travel buddies, Soon Wei & Sherrie - waiting for our ferry to Corregidor :D (yes, my wide angle lens was extremely dusty :p)




‘The Feet Series’ goes to Phillipines ;)





I heart the Philippines too! I absolutely miss the food and culture there coz everyone is so friendly. And the Tagaytay Highland as well. Ang ganda ng view no? ;)

I usually start my Monday morning by going to your website first… then Facebook Hahahaha!! Anyway, I just want to say that after seeing this photos of u going to Philipines, it convinced me to go there too. I’ve been wanting to go there for sometime but I wasn’t that sure of it until now!
(June 29th, 2009, 9:18 am)Thanks for the blog-lovin’ :D Yes, Philippines is absolutely awesome and definitely a must-visit spot :) But 5 days was waaaaay to short cos there’s just sooo many sights to visit and food to eat!
