Successful people do not wait for things to happen... they make things happen.

A Week at Metro Manila

October 22, 2008

Last week I went to Metro Manila for Java training. The training lasted for 5 days which gave me six nights of getting acquainted with the Metro.

I took a 7:30 pm flight from Davao to Manila via Philippine Airlines. The flight takes one and a half hour. I checked at Prince Plaza 2 along Legaspi and Dela Rosa streets, Makati. When I arrived at the hotel, I was so tired that I didn’t think about of going out.

On the second night, I went to Glorieta looking for a barber shop and have a haircut. I happened to stumble upon Brunos Barber Shop at the third level of Glorieta.  I also went to SM Ayala to buy some stuff. Along the way I bought Xander a set of MatchBox.

On the third night, my friends from Cebu went to the SM Mall of Asia. We tried the 3D IMAX. It was a great experience seeing a huge 3D movie. We had dinner at the Mandarin Wok, their food taste good. We visited the board walk and listened to live performances.

On the fourth night, we went to our friends hotel at Cubao. After dinner we search the area for places to hang out.

On the fifth night, I came to meet with Jehzlau a co-DOST scholar and a very successful blogger. We attended an art exhibit held at Fully Booked at Bonifacio High Street. I met new friends and bloggers. After the event we hang out at Krispy Kreme BHS with new friends.

On the sixth night we took our course facilitator, Santosh Ashok, from Bangalore India for a night tour. We went to Glorieta to look some place for dinner but could not find any. One of my friend’s uncle was having an event at the Claw Daddy Restaurant along Bonifacio High Street and we decided to pay him a visit. Our effort was not wasted, as we were offered with a free dinner and drinks at the Claw Daddy. We had a great time exchanging cultures with our Indian friend. The food was very good.

I took an early 4:30 am flight back to Davao via Philippine Airlines. I still have a class in the afternoon. It was a great weekend; I met lots of new friends and got to visit different cool places.
