HERE IN MANILA AT LAST

Me and wife are in Manila right now for a business trip. We have decided to find some principal companies that we can market way back home. We arrived around 12:15 and proceeded immediately to the Mall of Asia (MOA). From the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, it took us around 45 minutes to reach to the SM MALL OF ASIA. It is really hard to go to the city without a vehicle because riding a taxi is quite expensive. Just going to the MOA, it cost around 200 pesos just for that ride.

Right now, me and my wife are in Sta. Cruz Manila. This is the heart of Manila already. The place is quite old for a super city like Manila. We are staying right here in a budget hotel with my wife. This is the best place in the city since all of the establishments are already here. The hotel that we are staying is good hotel. It has a reputation beyond excellence. We are here at the 6th floor of the commercial building. The only sad thing about this place it that we don't have any window to look at the view outside.

For tonight, we already bought a pizza at Sbarro pizza restaurant in the Mall of Asia. We will just be staying in our room for tonight. We already have a map given at the airport for free. We will be planning for tonight and the map will be very useful in going in and out of the city. We just need to get familiarized with the streets and landmarks and everything will be okay for the both of us.

Even here in Manila, my mind is still back in Davao city because my little angel Reese Arabella is left at home. Me and my wife surely misses her so much. We will be home by Wednesday. Good thing there is a 3G connection for we will be talking at her later on tonight.
