Romantic Manila Bay

Manila Bay and its skyline is one of my favorite spots in Manila. It's a beautiful and romantic place, day or night.

Manila Puro

The tips here are purely about Manila. Not Makati nor Quezon City. Or any other cities and municipalities within Metro Manila...

Welcome to my beloved Manila!

In spite of the economic gains consistently being reported by the government in the past months, residents can't seem to benefit from it. Including the dogs. Wait a minute... WHO LET THE DOGS OUT??.. (WHO? WHO? WHO?..)

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:historical city, exciting nightlife, shopping paradise
  • Cons:very crowded, most streets are dirty, air pollution
  • In a nutshell:In spite of her flaws, Manila is a loveable city.

    sould go to my room now to try these hopias since I do not even know yet what Hopias are! When walking around Binondo today I noticed this little shop because people lining up and filling their baskets with them, so gave it a try and bought some.
