MANILA

[trig]

hello sisses. ask ko lang paano makarating ng binondo via public transpo lang. let's say quiapo church ang point of reference. anong sasakyang jeep, saan bababa etc. tia.

quiapo and binondo (ongpin) is very near. Just ask quiapo people. Its only around 1 kilometer. Just go to carriedo LRT station and then proceed to sta cruz church, and ongpin is just right there.

[kikay iska]

Finally, my friends will accompany me to Ongpin soon!  Been wanting to go there for years already. 

Would you have any route in the area so we can maximize a day tour in this place?  We plan to go food tripping and photoshoot.

Kain kayo sa Binondo, madami masasarap na kainan doon. Tapos labas kayo ng Ongpin sa tapat ng sta cruz church, sa gilid nun papuntang avenida, maraming mabibilhan na chinese charms and likes. Tapos sa right side naman is the mc arthur bridge to lawton. pagbaba ng tulay, andun na ang manila post office. malaking building yun. if ayaw nyo yun, diretso na lang kayo (if may car) then liko sa may tapat ng city hall. Papasok na kayo nun ng Intramuros. Enjoy the view. ewan ko lang if maganda pa rin


regarding sa nagtatanong sa malacanang, sa tapat lang ako ng gate 1. i do not think na open sya sa public not like noong panahon ni ramos. pero i do not know, i am not that certain na.

what is good in malacanang is running/jogging/ or brisk walking. minsan, from our house, lalakad ako sa malacanang area papuntang nagtahan then iinom lang sa 7-11 tapos lalakad ulit pauwi.

or minsan naman, jogging/running from our house, daan sa malacanang area, aakyat ng ayala bridge tapos diretso na sa luneta. pag sinipag, lalakad pabalik or sasakay na oublic transpo.

Guys, anong mairerecomend nyong mga bars and other lively places along Manila or kahit sa mga nearby cities na okay for foreigners? My colleagues from UK are visiting and I dnt know the places to recommend since am not a party animal hehe. They love to eat and not to forget drink as in tubig ang beer kasehodang katanghaliang tapat!

[miss resilient]

i suggest you go to intramuros... para may reflection of the old manila. you can see the famous churches dun (kung catholic kayo) like manila cathedral at san agustin church. May museum din sa loob ng san agustin, its a nice way to spend the day... im not sure lang if there's kalesa pa in intramuros... you can also try it while strolling. ingat lang sa pag park ng car nyo sa intramuros kasi mabilis mag-tow ng sasakyan dun.

exactly, sabay dalaw sa fort santiago (naroon din ang baluarte de san diego) puede ka rin mag kalesa para kunyari donya victoria ang LOL! atsaka yung rizal shrine para makita mo yung mga kagamitan ni rizal like his bed, his shoes, his other paraphernalias...naroon din ang original copy ng noli me tangere.

puede ka rin pumunta ng national museum and don't forget manila zoo! entrance fee is 20p if youre manilan 40 if not. di ko lang alam kung yan pa rin ang prize. puede ka rin dumalaw sa paco park...minsan may concert dun. makikita mo rin yung old paco church dun nai shoot yung movie noon na kasal ni geneva and raymart sa movie na anak ng pasig.

escolta is a good place as well, feeling mo nasa italy ka LOL. tsaka siyempre wag mo rin kalimutan ang binondo, lalo na chinese new yr ngayon....bisitahin ninyo yung wa ying..chinese dimsum and resto sarap ng foods doon..tsaka yung ramon lee...madalas venue yan ng binyagan. nakakabusog ang mga foods duon walang sinabi ang mga fastfood chains ngayon. 

post pa ko later

Hello mga sisses, need your help

Me and my friends will be going to Intramuros, commute lang. I used to go there with my family kaso with service/van. But this time me and my friends would like to experience "touring" the area na nagcocommute lang. pa help naman [textspeak!] are we gonna ride if we'll be coming from Rizal Shrine or MOA? we want to visit Fort Santiago again, and Manila Cathedral and some other places pa inside intramuros... can anyone help me want to ride and what are the other places to visit there? I've been reading some blogs but can't find what jeepney to ride from MOA or from Rizal shrine... Thanks in advance

[rasee16]

^sis, from Moa, take a jeep to Buendia then ride the LRT. Baba kayo sa Central Terminal. Then from there, linalakad nalang namin yun eh. Tatawid kayo ng underpass. But if you want, you can ride a pedicab.

From Rizal Park naman, take a jeep to Quiapo/Monumento/Sta. Cruz, kahit ano naman dadaan yan. Then baba kayo sa Manila City Hall. Then tawid kayo sa underpass.

Places you can visit there:
- San Agustin Church/ Museum (P80 entrance)
- Lights and Sound Museum along Sta. Lucia Street (P100 entrance)
- Casa Manila (P75 entrance)
- Manila Cathedral
- Fort Santiago (P75 entrance)
- Wow Philippines (I heard inayos na raw to uli, not sure)
- Lahat ng Baluarte especially Baluarte de San Diego (malapit lang sa lights and sound museum)
- Bahay Tsinoy Museum (along Anda Street)

Not quite sure if updated pa yung mga price na linagay ko ah, but just to give you an idea, linagay ko na rin.

Haay.. nakakamiss ang intramuros.. dun kasi ako nagdorm for about 5 years nung nagaaral pa ko sa Mapua.


Hope this helps..

^Thank you sis, may madali palang bababan kasi mag e-LRT nga kami from Monumento, bababa sana kami ng United Nations, uunahin na namin ang CENTRAL Terminal since walking distance lang pala dun.

Ihuhuli na nmin ang Rizal Park. kakayanin ko na to...
