My very quick vacation break (Part 2)

Posted by jepoyzter under Random Post

The first time I come back was way back in May 2007, I had a total of 9 days vacation + 1 extension. I already dont know how to fix my schedule. Meet up with friend, dine out with family friends, “lakwatsa” with cousins. What more this time? 5 days??

So the third day, I went out with my past Taiwan gang, Michelle and Joyce. Since Michelle is leaving for US, we planned to go out with our hard to contact friend Joyce. Who is now teaching Chinese language to her tutors. Good thing, Michelle can drive me to Las Pinas first to visit my grandma and fix my cousin’s computer (no luck with fixing the computer). Oh I missed my grandma, both my grandma. I grew up with, while my parents work abroad. So I can’t missed an opportunity to spend time with them. My grandma cook for me my favorite dish, and even had me a take out for me to bring to Taiwan. I told her that I’ll bring her here for vacation. She haven’t been to anywhere outside Metro Manila, or should I say out of the house for years now. She had difficulty in walking, and I pray she could recover her strength just like she can before.

So after I had my delicious lunch, I have to meet up with Joyce at her house where Michelle is spending her boredom hahaha. We decided to go to Tagaytay, requested by me just to buy “Buko Tart”, and “Chicharon”. The three of us didnt know how to get there. All I knew is we have to take the South Express Way and theres an exit which will lead us to Tagaytay. The driver, Michelle, and Joyce from the south both also have no idea which exit to take. So we asked Joyce’s bro for direction over the phone. He says that we have to find San Pedro exit. So we took his advice, and went on. After so many exits past by, and we’re near the end of the express way. We didn’t find any San Pedro exit till were already toll gate. We asked for direction and said that we should have taken Santa Rosa exit which is two exits away before the toll gate. Hay…. eventually we reached our destination. I have to buy lots of coconut tart’s, so Michelle wont get mad after making her drive in insanity hahahaha.

So after that, we drove back to Manila and went to Serendra. A commercial and residential area in Bonifacio Global City. This placed is just newly opened this year and already attracting lots of people. You have to drive by car to get here since theres no passenger utility vehicle passes by. But you can take a jeep to Market Market, and walk to Serendra.

We had early dinner at Italiannis and window shopped at some boutiques near by. We also check out Fully Booked, a four floor bookstore at Bonifacio High Street. Its like Eslite Bookstore here in Taiwan. After that we call it a day, and went home.
