Weekend Market Hopping - Centris & Mercato

Last weekend, I got the chance to visit two weekend markets with the help of friends from CS Manila. Like everyone else, I was also interested to check out these new places and find out what stuff I can discover!

Centris is actually found very near the Quezon Ave MRT Station making it really accessible for commuters like me. It has a big selection of food and fresh produce from all over the Philippines. I really wish to go back. I can't list all the stuff I found there so my suggestion is just check it out for yourself on the weekend you are next available.

Bohol Trip Post-Accounting

I know, this trip has gone a little too over especially with our food trip and pasalubong. But since it doesn't happen too often anyway, I'm still happy that I've been to Bohol at last and shared that experience with my sister.

So for those interested to know how much you can shell out with a 3D/2N Trip, then check it out.

Old Manila Walks

The team is planning to have a tour and try the Old Manila Walks this coming Sunday (thanks to Pam) to get around Manila and try other stuff. Hopefully it will push through. I don't get to have this much opportunity to go to these places so I'd be really happy!

While going through the website http://www.oldmanilawalks.com/ and with my crazy googling of travel-related stuff, I was eventually brought to the youtube vid of Anthony Bourdain who featured Philippines and the Old Manila Walks as well...it's so cool! Ginutom ako sa mga pagkain na na-feature...so I'm so hoping talaga matuloy to! I was also reading all the comments about Philippines and our food...most are good, some are crappy...but yeah, it's their opinion!!! But I still want to do the Old Manila Walks! hehe
