Typhoon Glenda makes landfall in Manila

Fierce wind and heavy rain from Typhoon Glenda has battered the Philippines.  My heart and prayers go out to fellow Filipinos, but I know that the strength, courage, perseverance, and resilience of them will again allow them to recover from yet another tragedy.

Since we could not go home, the Management booked us a hotel room just a few blocks from our office. No excuses for not going to work the following day. Grabe din! But overall, I'm very thankful we only got wet trying to get into the hotel and our loved ones and families are safe back home.

Where to?

Kanto Freestyle is the place to be.

Waiting in the long queue

Where
549 San Joaquin St., Brgy. Plainview, Mandaluyong

Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park

I was impressed with the exterior. It is so breathtaking- it gives me that Thailand feel (yes I’ve never been to Thailand). The restaurant is undeniably beautiful and the ambience is great. The staffs were very attentive and professional and provided excellent service. However,  I was not very happy with our meal. Dishes I tasted were not as bad as that, but at the end of the day there was nothing special about them.

Manila Bay Buffet dinner Cruise

We booked a dinner cruise. The dinner set up, view, service and foods are not, as the Ads would say, winning. Obviously, the experience wasn’t a pleasant one. It was an unexpected disappointment. 

It’s not worth the money to me.

We ended up at URBN and it was a blast!!

 

EGD Gives back

In relation to my previous post Accoustic Night for a Cause. Cribs Foundation was the chosen beneficiary.

We spent one Saturday volunteering. The foundation provides an alternative home environment for abandoned, surrendered and neglected children. The whole experience has made me much more grateful for everything I have and has made me realized the importance and the enjoyment of giving back.
