My Birthday in Manila

After the Graphika Manila conference, it's time for me to celebrate my birthday. I just turned 22 and it's my first time to celebrate it outside my hometown. I'm with my cousin (slash-little-sister), Wella, and we stayed at our aunt's condo in BGC. We went spent the day at Makati and MOA. Here's a photostory of my birthday :)


After the conference, we went to the condo where we will be staying for two nights. It's at Kensington Place in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Upon reaching our unit, the clock strikes at 12 o'clock, which means it officially my birthday!


We went outside for an evening walk. Jump shots at the hallway :)


Elevator shot ^_^ My arms look buff here.hehe


Wella at Burgos Circle


We passed by at a Ministop to buy some stuff.


We bought these sweets and munched the night away.


Waking up in the condo is so surreal. Good morning birthday boy!


The view from up here is so nice. This is the Manila Golf and Country club. You can see Makati city in the background.


Mango float, our breakfast.hehe


They have this tiger toy. Photo-bombing while Wella is prepping.


Entrance of the building.


At Burgos Circle








Then we had lunch at McDo (Forbes town center) :)


I had "Big n Tasty", soooo goood!


Love this sculpture in front of McDo.


It's called "Pasasalamat".




Then we went to this cool place called The Collective. It's a business center for artists.


They had a relief operation for the flooding victims that day.


The place is full of cool murals. Can't resist to take photos ;)








Cute panda mural :3




Epic mural :)


Music and art :)


So street :)








Polaroid store. too bad it's close that time...


We passed by this store, Mochiko, which is sooo kawaii. Mochi is an ice cream wrapped in a sticky rice paste similar to "Palitaw"


I ordered Strawberry :) It really looked like the one in their poster outside




So pink.




After our short visit, we went to Greenbelt so i can show Wella the malls in the Makati. We passed by at Penshoppe and we saw Alec of PBB Teens. He's tall and he's so nice.


We want to watch a 3D movie at Glorietta but they only had Bourne Legacy. We went down and bought some refreshments before goin to MOA.


We went to Pasay via LRT and Jeep. Here's the famous landmark of MOA.


The brand-new "Arena" where Lady Gaga had her concert


We watched Step Up Revolution in 3D and it was so nice :)


Goofing around some posters


At the skating rink


We saw this Mochi stand. So addictive ^_^


Before going back to BGC, we passed by this stall and ate some kwek-kwek.


The globe is a huge spherical LED screen at night


At the bus going back to Ayala.


We went to Bonifacio High Street


Had coffee at Seattle's Best. This is "Red Velvet"




Cool photo wall. I want to make this in my room soon...

~And that's it! We went back to the condo to have a rest. We still got another day to enjoy. I really enjoyed this day with my cousin. Thank God for the blessings! Carpe Diem!

Watch out for Day 3 of my trip which i will be posting soon ^_^
