Day 3 of PH Vacation. Errands

By Celine -
This post is first of my PH vacation series:


This is the 4th blog post of my Philippine vacation last February and it's describing our 3rd day back in Manila. It's Monday, February 18. Because jet lag is real, we were already awake at 5:00 in the morning. The agenda for the day is quite boring.

  1. Go to Tita Mimi (our seamstress and designer) in Muntinlupa
  2. Go to Pioneer to get the property title of the condominium.
  3. Go to Ortigas to withdraw money from our stocks account.

Good morning!

Tita Mimi is referred to us by Ms. Myna and she lived all the way in Muntinlupa which will be a challenge to go to. At 5 in the morning, I told Jomar, we should rent a car to go there. He said, sure. I sent Ms. Myna and Hester of QSR to see if we can book a car for the same day and I would totally understand if we can't because it's the same day - you just don't do that.

While waiting for a response, we had to meet Jossel and Rose near their workplace to get JT's baptismal certificate. The four of us had breakfast in McDonald's.


Because Hester is an angel, she was able to get us a car. Now, we're waiting for the car at McDonald's while enjoying or Shake Shake Fries.

Tita Mimi

We went to Muntinlupa and Tita Mimi is one of the most glamorous people I've met. I wore my gown and they tried to figure out alteration and what she's going to do. We also scheduled to go back on Wednesday with Nanay, my maid-of-honor, and bridesmaids.

Pioneer

After that, we went to Robinsons Pioneer Center to have our 2x2 picture taken which is a requirement by Manila Cathedral and made photocopies of all our documents. We also had lunch at KFC. The gravy is so yummy. I went back to the gravy station so many times.


I went to the condo admin office and they had no idea about the title (which is annoying). They told me to go to the main office in Robinsons Galleria.

Ortigas

We went to our broker in Ortigas to get some money because we really didn't have any coming to the Philippines. Then, off to Robinsons Galleria to get the condo title. It took around 30 minutes and we decided to have snacks in the grocery - I had turon and boiled corn. So yummy! Jomar even purchased buko juice.


We had dinner with Mitch at Kenny Rogers. I only had side dish sampler because of diet. But had an ice cream sandwich at Dairy Queen.

Such a long day but we completed our goals for the day and I am happy.

Last October 2013, I was able to visit the City of Naga and below is my food trip in CamSur. Casa Moderna Freshly baked bread on a huge brick oven and some Pancit for snacks on a lazy afternoon. That's how I enjoyed the soft pastry and meaty Pancit in Casa Moderna. Currently, they have five branches all in Naga City. Be sure to visit at least one of them. Meaty Palabok

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's

Food Trip near La Salle Taft: Exile on Main Street

+Joshua  has been raving that we try this restaurant along Leon Guinto Street, walking distance from De La Salle University-Manila. Last August 16 (Saturday), we (+Jomar, +Wayne, and Mitch) gave it a shot. We went there a little before 6:00 PM, and thankfully, we arrived at that time! There's a board games night (every Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM) organized by a group of people so the place could get noisy and crowded during Saturday evening. According to Josh and his friend, it's not usually like that. The Service The service is okay. The waiter who served us didn't smile at all. He also looked tired and impatient. At first, I was a bit disappointed by that, but I just told myself that it's okay. I mean, I could imagine how tired he might be running around getting and serving orders from all the people inside such a small place! Still, the service could have been better. The Food What it lacked on service, it compensates with the yummy food.  +Wayne  h
