A Week in Metro Manila in Pictures
This is what you get when you give a one week unlimited MRT/LRT flash pass in Manila to a camera wielding travel junkie:
Time to start posting again
After a seriously long time of inactivity in Ambot-ah, I’m back posting about my travels over the months. While I take some time to jot down my journals, you can view some my photos at my flickr account. Here’s a photo of me during my most recent visit (and very first trip abroad) to Hong Kong:

Fort Bonifacio Global City (Highrises, Market! Market!, High Street) Nightwalk
I was excited to go to Fort Bonifacio Global City (FBGC) for the first time. It’s one the newest and most expensive bloc in Manila. I was so shocked to see the level of development there in just a short span of time. I liked Market! Market! because I really did feel like it was a market not just a rip-off name for just another mall. High Street is O-K, the place looks really beautiful but it feels very synthetic there, I prefer the organic urban feeling I get in Makati.
Makati City – the Philippine’s Skyscrapercity
Back when I was in high school, I was a Sim City 4 addict. I used to spend my nights slaving over making the biggest city my measly computer can handle. There was of course the attempt of making a city that had a road layout of Iloilo City, at the time high quality road maps of Iloilo City was not available (Google Earth, I think wasn’t released yet or it didn’t have hi-res images of Iloilo City) so I started to look for road maps of other cities in the Philippines. One google search led to another and I ended up in Skyscrapercity.com. I visited the Philippine sub forum and searched through the threads.
