Today was Jeff's birthday. Been thinking of strolling at Greenbelt and just try any restaurant there. Luckily a friend stumbled on little tokyo at Makati. We couldnt get a clear information on the food's price range at the place, so I thought, hey it's Jeff's bday anyways. Splurge we shall! g outside of the restaurant.

I haven't realized how much this site has evolved from something that I'm just interested in, into an informative, very direct type of site. What I meant is, there's not much personal touch going on with this site of mine. As you can see, I rarely (not even) post pictures with me or my friends faces on it. I barely tell the 'experience' factor of all my travels. Instead I'm always thinking I'm a new visitor of the site, and I don't want to read about loads of crap how this person's trip went. I'

After this school year, I promised my little sister that I take her swimming some time, and with that of course I have to bring the rest of the family.

At a rate of 200 pesos per head (on weekends), this resort features numerous adult slides, the highest is three stories high. It was being fixed when we arrived, so we set

Coming to Cebu, one of the food / resto we wanted to check out was Casa Verde, somewhere near the capitol area. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find it there. Luckily though, we find another branch of this restaurant at Ayala mall instead. Supposedly, the original branch is spanish-inspired but the one in Ayala mall had an American-inspired ambiance. There were lots of American pop-culture decorations inside the restaurant, and a few other miniature and toys. [caption id="" align="ali

The hotel is just walking distance from Ayala mall, and a few
