Manila Tour 2

This time, we kinda planned for it already. Last time, sobrang impromptu, but still great

Manila Zoo
This the first stop of the trip. I think, due to the quite recent typhoon, most the trees fell. Renovations are taking place and much of the animals are not on there proper places. Walang Giraffe tsaka Lion :(

This is the map of the place. It's quite confusing though hehe

We get to see "ze ippo"

Tiger :)

Orangutan

The Ostrich

The Eagle :)

The Eagle Owl

The Lion sleeps tonight... ay, kuting pala...

The Homo Sapiens at it's early development

The Gorrilla

After that, we walked along Adriatico street going to Remedios cirlce, then to Remedios street itself.

We saw a marching band practice. Fiesta dun :)

We ended up near the Rajah Soliman plaza, and the Malate Church

Malate Church
I can't help getting its picture. Turistang turista! hahaha

We had lunch in Shakey's. That time, grabe, kapuy and sleepy na but it was still early for the day.

Outside, the view was great so we decided to walk along Bay Walk.

From the Rajah Soliman plaza, to Bay Walk

Bantut ng Manila Bay... Pero maganda yung view

Shemps, I got a kiss! :) hihi :">

We got to meet Evelio Javier and Ninoy along the way

and enjoyed the view with them

There were kids taking a dip at the Manila Bay waters

We sat down a while sa swing with a shed along the walk. Dark clouds were looming
Then it rained for a while

We got to share the shed with Manong

and Mark... [labo hehe]

After the rain stopped, we continued walking along Roxas Blvd.

Roxas Blvd. Nahiya si Chi na mag-pose.
I was taking random pictures of it hehe

Then we arrived at Rizal park

The Rizal Monument
The Monument at a diffrent angle

Yes, it was quite chessy kasi 'Luneta Park'. But it was nice! There are alot of artsy stuff to see. Astig din :)

The length of the park.

While we were walking along Roxas, Manny's fight was on. We heard some shouts along the way. Sabi ko, "Tumumba siguro si Morales... Panalo na kaya si Manny?"
We passed by a small store with a TV in the park. It was showing the replay of the knock out, then came the awarding ceremonies.

At the heat of the afternoon, we tried going to the planetarium. When we got there, the tenants told us that they only have shows Tuesday to Saturdays :(
Sad... we should have noted their schedule when we searched the internet.

So, next stop was Quiapo.

Under the big waiting shed with out benches
No wonder inis si Chi. Joke... The batibots were nice though, but there was not enough shade.

We hopped in a jeep to Quiapo from there and hopped out at Quiapo Church.
Unfortunately I didn't get to take pictures of the place and Plaza Miranda. There are alot of interesting things to take pictures of, pero magulo.

In the wide screen TV, we got to see the 3 rounds of action between Manny and Erik. Go Manny! Nice fight Erik [Feeling Close! haha!] Friends daw sila eh after the fight.

Nothing much happened after. WE walked around Quiapo and Recto then made our way home. We took the LRT1 from Carriedo station to EDSA. Constantly, we peeked at the window to have a glimpse of the sunset. [Sorry Chi, I hadn't had time to got back Bay Walk to watch it]

After that, we got quite disoriented on how to get to Sucat from EDSA. We finally got to Roxas Blvd again and hopped in a jeep back to BF.

Our last glimpse of the sunset...
While in the jeep, along Roxas nearing the Coastal Mall.

Grabe! Kapuy after! lagkit pa namin hahaha! yak! pero it was fun! Thanks Chi :)
It was a great 1st year :)
