12-15 December 2014 Manila Birthday Trip

Wew.. Travel in group for the first time with siblings, his fam, and friend.

This time is with my siblings but too bad my parents dint join us, it would be perfect to have them as his family were in the group too.

We bought our flight ticket at very cheap price which is about rm120 per person, and booked transportation service which my sister found in Trip Advisor.

Oh, and we stuck in the airport for few hours as we touchdown cause my little brother was "arrested" for being underage (under 16years old) and travel without parents and being fine for about few hundred ringgit. Suck rule!

Our 1st meal once touch down city of MANILA

City Tour around Manila

Beautiful Church

Hightlight of the trip !! Villa Escudero 

Awesome, we were riding with bull

Awesome lunch with man made waterfall

Shoooopppinggg at Centra World Manila

Back to hotel by Jeep!! No more taxi from 168 Mall. Bare in mind that 168Mall is a wholesale mall and not convenient to travel in evening cause of the massive jam and the crowd was too scary as if you cant even walk and enjoy the night market. 

Overall it was a nice trip, although it is not really about celebrating my birthday, but thankful that i have this moment with different people to travel with, cant wait to travel with complete family member including the in law!! ^^
