March 7th - 12th Manila & Boracay



"Chaos in the city to a calm place with white sand & clear water"


After landing in Manila from an early m0rning departure from S'pore, the private hotel car took us to our hotel, Mandarin Oriental in the Makati district. Wow, amazing service, too bad they had no where to sit in the lobby. Let me tell you, you have to go to Manila to see the contrast between the Makati area vs. the others. Many of the new shopping district Greenbelt & Mall of Asia are very similar to North American shopping, in fact a lot of stores that you might find in Canada are all here. Next morning, at the domestic airport, I witnessed mobile mass being performed in the departure area. Can't make it to Church on a Sunday, the Church will come to you.

The hightlight of our Philippine trip is for Boracay! White sand, clear water and of course one crazy life experience I still can't quite make sense of it all yet. Richard, Simon, & Lucian you guys know how this trip was suppose to go from day one and how it turned out is just crazy, too many things that didn't work out to be a coincidence & too last minute to be a setup, let's just see if it's fate.
