Sky Garden - May 28, 2011

This the Saturday where Rochelle and I went to SM North Edsa's Sky Garden and we're lucky enough to see the different bonsai's that was used in a Bonsai Making Competition and were on display at the Sky Garden.

We also get to see a display of replicas of some of the tourist spot in the Philippines. One of them is the Calle Crisolo in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. An old street in Ilocos where there are preserved old house dating back to when the Spanish still colonized the Philippines.

Tsokonut Batirol - May 22, 2011

This is the first time I ate Tsokonut Batirol in SM North and I really liked the food. Sobrang sarap ng house blend iced tea their dishes. It's an all-Filipino menu that also affordable. Rochelle and I brought out our Apad for free wi-fi.

Besides the food and wi-fi you should try their famous hot chocolate concoction that's perfect for an afternoon snack with their cakes, brownies and cookies. You should try it out. Anyway here are the photos:

April's Birthday at Mall of Asia - May 14, 2011

We went to SM Mall of Asia to celebrate April's 29th birthday. We ate El Pollo Loco. A restaurant that specializes in Mexican food.

Flowers for the birthday girl...

In time with April's birthday an event is also ongoing in the activity area. There's a celebration for the birthday of Buddha. We get to participate in writing wishes and we also got a Buddhist bracelet for free.

Here we are with the Buddha standee...

One of the many Buddhas you can pray to...

"The Wishing Tree"

This is where we put our wishes that we wrote on paper hoping that Buddha will grant them.

Singapore-Malaysia Trip April 30-May 2, 2011

This our first time in Singapore and Malaysia and I'm with Ate Mel and Ate Vangie on this trip. I will act as our guide as I did my research on what to see there and what transportation to take because we didn't get a packaged tour and I prepared our itinerary for the whole trip. I got a map of the train system and how to get to our destination so we won't get lost.

We got a promo ticket at Cebu Pacific Airlines and it's also our first time to fly with the airline as we fly before with Philippine Airlines and Hong Kong Express. And it's also my first time to go to the NAIA Terminal 3.

We stayed at Fragrance Pearl Hotel which is budget hotel. It's affordable rate is "swak na swak" on the budget to have extra money for pasalubong and souvenir shopping. It's also near the bus stop and the train station and it's just near the airport so we have extra time on our hands and no need to hurry to the airport.

At the airport waiting for our flight to Singapore...
