BACK FROM MANILA
Sunday, June 14, 2009
it blooms for you @1:38 PM

hey people. i'm finally back from manila.
read my tone: FINALLY.
the experience is really bad and
i guess that's the reason why
singapore dont encourage people to visit there.
this is the worst trip i ever been to.
nothing nice to see, nothing nice to eat,
the service sucks to hell, the air and water are polluted.
IN A NUT SHELL... nothing is good.

DAY 1:
as they all say that airport is the best gauge for
the country's development and
standard of the country's tourism industry.
from what i see and experience it's bad.
the custom officer(CO) is super rude to us.
she's very picky abt the particular form.
there's this part that requires me to fill 'place of stay'
which i can write the address/town/city
so i wrote the city's name: MANILA
CO: please be specific. MANILA is a very big place.
where are you staying?
ME:i dont know where we will be staying...
(coz it's a city tour! dude)
CO: how can you not know? sorry.
can you go to the side to fill up? NEXT!
okay... apparently i'm not the only one,
some japanese guys also kena the same thing too.
(their situation is even worse,
coz they dont speak english)
as for my sis who queued at other lane,
she manage to get pass very quickly
despite writing the same stuff.
anyway the air is freaking polluted
thanks to the jeepney car there.
btw they dont have road etiquette.
they honked every now and then.
they dont follow traffic light rules too.
they continue driving even when the light turns red.
WTF.
the hotel is !@#$%^&*(. it's a scam!
98% different from their webpage.
suck. their room is darn scary.
one of their beds has bed bugs. eeee...
the whole cities seem to live in the 60s/70s.
visited PHILIPPINE GENERAL HOSPITAL and
UNIVERSITIES OF the PHILIPPINES.
the buildings dont really suggest what they are meant for.
went to their shopping mall ROBINSON.
not much thing. imitations everywhere
and we had our lunch in a buffet restaurant.
the food is cheap but they suck to hell.
we went back hotel to wash up and guess what.
the water is alkaline and light yellowish brown colour.
eeee... so you can imagine how bad the water quality is.
the air is so dry and my skin starts to peel like crazy...
dinner at some unknown restaurant again.
the dinner sucks like hell. it's all seafood and
the seafood have all gone bad before it is cooked.
you can taste the fishy-stinky smell.
the only goood thing is their performance and ambiance.

DAY 2:
breakfast buffet in he hotel. one work: SUCK!
no yogurt, no sausage, no ham and no warm water,
no tea. even the waffle looks like pancake. HORRIBLE.
we went for historical tour ard the city. not much fun.
got to see some pony/horse carriage.
went to TAYGAYTAY to see the biggest volcano in the lake.
lunch at restaurant that is located on a mt near the volcano.
it's the best restaurant throughout the trip.
went to the biggest mall in asia (called: MALL OF ASIA)
it's like another vivocity. just that it's 3 times bigger.
didnt buy anything coz nothing suits me. sian.
buy clothings for meimei.
settle dinner in a western food restaurant.
food is really cheap but horrible as well.
cabbed back to hotel. the driver scare us to death.
there's some miscommunication. we said 'PEARL'
but he kept pronouncing as 'PALM'. WTF.

DAY 3:
breakfast in hotel too. thanks to dad.
i have yogurt for breakfast! YIPPEE.
continue city tour and went to this waterfall place.
we took a boat ride there. okay it's more like a kayak.
there's some people on the river trying to sell drinks to us.
we dont want to buy but the drink seller still throw 2 bottles
of drink onto the boat and claim that those are for the boatmen.
damn her. that's like forcing us to buy.
their river is freaking polluted and so is the waterfall.
yet my parents said that the water is so clear and clean.
liar liar.... okay. wash up at the waterboat club.
the water in the toilet smell like shit, you can smell the sulphur.
it's horrible. lunch. just like any other meals provided.
seafood meal. eeee... didnt even drink the seafood soup.
visited chinatown and their chinese mausoleum.
i have to admit that the mausoleum is grand and magnificent.
there are many big houses with toilets, kitchens and mahjong table
with big coffins inside. rushed to MALL OF ASIA.
the taxi driver conned us. damn you. go die.
last minute shopping for clothes and for dinner.
fast food for dinner inside the hotel room.

DAY 4 (LAST DAY):
breakfast again. haha. went down alone first
coz sis is taking her time to dress up.
the waitress is making life difficult for me.
('sorry madam, i will like to remind you
the dress code for breakfast: no flip-flops, no shorts)
excuse me, they are not flip-flops!
they are expensive sandals from NEWURBANMALES!
one pair of sandals cost you more than 1 day of your wage!
get that into your dog face.
went up to hotel room to look for sis and went down together.
apparently the waitress doesnt dare to pick on us anymore.
now it's time to revenge! haha.
we piled the plates in a very unstable way high up.
we purposely throw the honey on the carpeted floor
and use tissue paper to smudge it all over to create a mess.
but there's an angmoh woman watching us,
so we just make our way out asap.
in the afternoon we took the plane home.

IN ALL,
we had seafood soup for every provided meal by the agency.
we had problems going back to the hotel
every time from MALL OF ASIA.
we are always haunted by some ghost(beggars)
on our way back to hotel.(they keep knocking on the car's door)
