Cover Photo: cocoon lounge chair by the Manila Bay sunset 

Flight Layover: floor to ceiling aquarium at the Vancouver International Airport

First bite in Manila: local taho from a street vendor. Taho is made of silky tofu, caramel sweetener and mini tapioca pearls. Other food adventures will be given a separate post, just because I have way too many to share, hahaha!

Night Out: a walk by Bonifacio High Street. This place has been fully developed since the last time I visited. This outdoor space is filled with restaurants, bars & international retail stores.

Cute li'l cafe: although the milk tea craze has gone down a bit in the country, I can't resist dropping by Serenitea to grab a drink and chill in their adorable interior set up.

Hair Spa time: made sure I had time to pamper myself and my hair before this trip gets hectic

Balcony View: stayed at Sofitel Manila with some lush greenery, Manila Bay and the Makati Skyline as background. 

Mall Of Asia: time for some shopping at the 10th largest mall in the world!

Manila Bay: MOA is just a block away from the bay. With it's own MOA eye, the bay  also lines up a bunch of restaurants, amusement parks and other local attractions.

Dose of Sunshine: took advantage of the great weather and the beautiful pool area of the hotel. Being deprived of the heat and humidity back in Canada, I made the most out of this stay, getting my much needed vitamin D.
