My Own Holiday

Holiday in Manila

I went for a holiday with no husband and no kids, last February in Manila. I went there with my sister, Beth and few girlfriends of mine. We stayed in the best area, Greenbelt Makati, thanks to our friend Ate Noemi for organising that and her family and friends looked after us during our stay. I met up with my old friends in high school and had a little reunion at Gerry's Grill, Greenbelt Makati. And also visited my Dad's graveyard at Holy Cross in Novaliches, met up with my two half brothers and their family and all the merienda and dinners with had. The shopping we've done, shop till you drop, the bargains. I'm glad that we did stop over in HongKong for two nights, on the way back to Sydney. Still three weeks it wasn't enough at all, a lot of things/places I didn't see, eat all my old time favourites, spend more time with friends/relos, etc. Next time, I will bring Kevin and the kids and this time we'll go around places that I haven't been, eg Baguio, Tagaytay and go back to my Mum's hometown in Bicol (first and last time I was there when I was only 5 years old). For sure I have to cut down my shopping time, concentrate on other things.
