Day 9 of PH Vacation. Last Day

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


It's our last day in Manila! Our luggage was packed and ready for our flight that night.

Mass in Manila Cathedral

Breakfast in Chowking

Before leaving the Philippines and because it's Sunday, we have to go to Mass. We attended the 8:30 am Mass in Manila Cathedral.

An hour before Mass, we had lunch for breakfast at Chowking.

After Mass, we saw a taho vendor. Of course, I had to have taho again while waiting for our Grab Car.

We're back at Robinson's Place - Otis. My dad is waiting for us at Starbucks and we spent a good hour just exchanging stories about how the week went.

Lunch in Tokyo Tokyo

Then, we decided to have lunch at Tokyo Tokyo. I miss the Chicken Karaage and Beef Misono and wishes there were more!

NAIA Terminal 1

We were at NAIA at 1:00 PM waiting for the check-in counter to open. I was on the phone with mom just catching up. We got checked in, paid the terminal fee, and off to security.

After that, we were roaming around and checking the handful of shops available. I saw hopia and just had to buy some (even if it was ridiculously expensive). We decided to spend 1-2 hours in one of the coffee shops (not Starbucks) eating corned beef pandesal.

An hour before the flight, we walked near our gate and was munching on the Sour and Cream Lays. Boarding!

Bye Manila! See you in June for another busy week.

How much does a wedding in Manila Cathedral cost?

Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1.

Food Trip: Press Cafe

Press Cafe is a restaurant inside the posh Power Plant Mall. It is near Fully Booked and the Cinemas. Around three weeks ago,  +Chelle ,  +Mitch ,  +Wayne ,  +Jomar , and I decided to watch the Filipino movie Starting Over Again starring Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga at the Power Plant Mall. Before the movie, we had dinner at Press Cafe. It was a bit expensive, but I was hungry and would want to eat before the movie. I had the Cheesy Eggplant which was cheesy and yummy. Though, half-way through it, I want to stop eating since the appetite is gone. Wayne had burgers while Mama Chelle had pasta and Mitch had steak with potatoes. Jomar had chicken with rice. My Cheesy Eggplant on top. Wayne's burger on the lower left. Jomar's chicken on the lower right. The food is good, but the price is a bit on the mid-range. You would need at a minimum Php 200.00 for a decent meal.
