27th May , Tuesday
Absent to school because im flying to Manila, Philippines in this morning! Wake up early in the morning and going to airport with pink long pants. To mention about my pants's color is just because I do really dislike pink. Except when the pink color is nice. Hahahah.
We reach the airport around 8.30am, so after we done everything we had our breakfast in the airport cafe. And after that, we wait for our aeroplane heheh. I guess it delayed. Hais.
Everything goes smoothly. Thanks God because we reach Manila safely. Our tour guide was waiting us at the airport, and then we went to check in our hotel at first. After checking in our hotel, we went to Robinson Mall. Its a very big shopping mall. And we shop happily at there, because I bought a lot of things hahaha. I just feel so speechless because after we paid the bill for my dress at the counter, we go out from Robinson Department Store, and while we are going out, its just still on the way going out because my shoes is havent out to the exist, my heels broke? Shitttttt. It was just a picture from google because I leaved my shoes at the hotel. Well, so I can just walk around the Robinson Mall to look for a new pair of slipper. We used about 20 minutes maybe, and finally I get a pair of new shoes at Adidas and I love it very much. Thanks God!
And then after having dinner at food court of Robinson Mall, we went to night market. What I think before I reach Manila is, Manila's night market is surely a super dangerous place and I dont actually wish to go there. But the event is arranged by tour guide so we may just go there for awhile. So when the driver asked about how long do we want to stay at the night market, we used to answer one hour. Too bad, because I actually feel maybe I need more time to stay at there. Items sell in the night market is really really cheap! You may not believe in its quality as its price is just so cheap. But I think actually its acceptable. I bought 2 watches at there, because one of them is half apple shape, like the Apple slogan of Iphone. Hahahha and I love the color, its turquoise color heheh. Even the two watches maybe do not have very long life, maybe just a few months but I still like it lalalalala. Ahhhh after the night market, we have our supper at Jollibee. Goodnight!
28th May , Wednesday
Its the second day in Manila. And today is the starting of my semester break, officially holiday! Happy holiday everyone! I start my day with taking breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The breakfast is still okay, and the orange juice is very very sour. I didnt taste it but everyone comment about its very sour. So, after breakfast, we go to 168 shopping mall, 999 shopping mall and Lucky China Town. So sad because I have not enough time to shop around Lucky China Town. And I do not have enough time to shop finish 168 shopping malls because we only able to finish building 2 and we do not have time for building 1. But I bought quite a lot stuffs at there, still happy! After the 168 shopping malls, we go to 999 shopping mall as planned. The clothes at there is also quite cheap heheh.
I actually almost crashed by car outside the 168 shopping mall when we walk to 168 shopping mall to meet our driver from 999 shopping mall. The road is so busy, cars everywhere and a lot of people like the chinese quote people mountain people sea. The distance between me and the white color van is just maximum 3cm. I even can see that my hair is flying towards the car's window. My hair is at the window. Shittttttt. My parents is walking behind me and they get shocked and run towards me. Of course they ask me are you okay at first, but after I say I am okay, they scold non stop made me feel annoying. But well, I know, they love me. So, sorry because made you two worried about me, im sorry dad and mom.
Baaaaaa after that we go to visit around San Sebastian Church and Malate Church and we visit around Manila city by transport. Its the horse car! Hahhahah I just translate it from chinese because I dont know what it actually named. And then we visit around the Intramuros, we are really surprised because there is so big. And then we have our lunch. At Manila, pig is everywhere. After having lunch, we went to Mall of Asia. There is very very very big and we are really really tired. Of course we do not have enough energy to shop all of the shops there hahahah. I saw pancaragam there, their performance is so wonderful wow. Goodnight!
29th May , Thursday
Today we wake up a bit late, alarm set 8.00am but we wake up around 7.45am, because my cousin's parents come to our room in the morning. So we quickly wake up and prepare to have our breakfast at ground floor of hotel. Breakfast is still okay, and the orange juice is still sour. Today, Manila is raining heavily. We proceed to Tagaytay and visit the People's Park. And we went to Tierra de Maria. And I made a wish there. Truly wish that my wishes may comes true.
We have our lunch at Chic-Boy. The slogan is so cool hahahaha. And the we go to Starbucks which beside the Chic-Boy. The Starbucks cashier spelled wrong my name, theres always my friends spell my name wrongly but this is the first time my name spelled as Xylvia. But he is still able to pronouns my name correctly hmmm. And there have such wonderful view, so my mood is very good hahaha. Then we check in at the Vacation House. And then we went to nearby Robinson Supermarket. We bought some tin foods and popcorn. In Manila, even instant noodles's flavor is also pork. Hahahhaa the first time to try pork instant noodle and its not bad. I dislike dinner today because I feel its so abnormal. Guess what? We had little duck as dinner! But I didnt taste it of course. Oh my goshhhhh. My tongue not suit with Philippines's food. Well, the vacation house's bed is not really as comfortable as hotel's bed we overnight yesterday. Because we are unable to sleep well hais. Goodnight!
it looks cool but it is not tasty actually.
30th May , Friday
We feel very grateful about the vacation house provided us breakfast! Because yesterday we all still very headache about what do we eat today morning. Even the breakfast is simple, but we do appreciate. And I feel the breakfast is not bad heheh. Too bad they only provide Nescafe and Milo is not provided. In Manila, almost every morning I miss my home because I dont have Milo here. After breakfast, we went to Taal Volcano. We need to go by boat and after the boat we ride the horse because we do not have interest to climb up to the top of the volcano.
After the Taal Volcano, we bring all our stuff and back to Manila from Tagaytay. On the way, we stop over the Market Market. We bought some dry mangoes there. There is dry papaya and dry pineapple too but we didnt try. There is a mini food court. I had a cup of Orange Shake with 69 peso. The orange shake is super wonderful and I miss it so much! After enjoying cool drinks, we go to Makati Ayala Center. And then we check in to our hotel at Manila again. I slept with my parents tonight because my backbone is so painful after riding the horse. My body full of plasters. Goodnight!
31 May , Saturday
Enjoy the breakfast provided by hotel again. Used some time to tidy up myself before going to lobby, because my backbone is still painful like im OKU hais. Well, we visit the shoes museum today. And we have the chance to see the biggest shoes in the world. It is the world's largest pair of shoes which certified by the GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS in 2002! It measures 529 centimeters long and 237 centimeters width and was completed within 77 days. It is currently kept at the Shoe Gallery of Marikina Riverbanks.
here is the largest shoes in the world!
After the shoesssss, we go to Greenhills. We are really tired as we shopping almost everyday. So we just simply shop around. And I still able to bought a long sleeve shirt without trying. Hahahah because we are lack of time hmmm. Today is the last day, tour guide arranged us to go St. Francis Square after Greenhills but we rejected. We requested to go back to Robinson Mall again, to buy some stuffs as we are going back Kota Kinabalu tomorrow! We eat our dinner very early tonight. And then we back hotel early to pack our luggage. Before we sleep, we have Mc Donald tonight. I realized that fast food here is always have spaghetti combo hmmmm. After Mc Donald and chit chatting with cousins and brother, we rest early tonight because we are going to wake up at 5am tomorrow. Goodnight!
01 June , Sunday
Good morning! Wake up super early in the morning! Rushing to airport. Who knows? Traffic jam! Because of road blocks for cross-country competition. Run run run everyone run! Heheheh. The driver comfort my mommy, ask her not to worry because we all realize she is really nervous. He keep looking for short cut so we can reach the airport without late and he promise us to reach the airport at 6:37am and he managed to do that! Woohoo. And we are managed to stand at the first person in the long queue. We waited for a long time before we are allowed to go in. We do not miss the flight! Feeling great because I dont really wish to stay two more days at Manila. Just because im really tired of travelling 6 days and 5 nights here. But actually, I dont feel mad to stay if we really missed the flight because my friend told me the Luncheon meat's brand yesterday night when we are already in hotel. Of course we do not have chance to buy it. But nevermind, we appreciate what we bought. While we are waiting aeroplane, I start to think back how do my house look like, staying in Manila for so many days, I actually forget how do my house look like. But, I do really miss my messy bed, every night when I sleep.
Its almost 11 am and Thanks God because we reach Kota Kinabalu safely! So we have our lunch with cousin's family because my Uncle come to airport and fetch us to my home. Home sweet home! Finally I can eat normal food, taking shower happily, washing my hair properly, drying hair with normal hair dryer and sleep comfortably, and online with my Samsung Tab! 306 messages from Wechat and 5 messages from LINE and 5 messages Facebook pm and 3 short message service (SMS) but all of the sms are advertisement huh. After taking lunch, everyone enjoying their short nap but I online and play Candy Crush non stop, until 5pm in the evening then I have my short nap.
