If you’ve been reading the blog for quite some time (hugs your way) you may know that it has been my tradition to go away for my birthday. Sadly I was unable to properly plan anything for this year so as a compromise; I decided to have a me-day in Manila instead. This is not a packed a itinerary. It’s one of those chill-er ones. You know when you go off to an adventure and you say “I need a vacation from my vacation”? This is the vacation you need after.
Do you know how much I love this place? If it were walking distance from my house I would be here several times in a week. That would mean bad news for my waistline since I’ve been trying to eat better but it is a worthy temptation and reward on a cheat day.
Summer is one of the best times to hang out at rooftop bars/restaurants because there is a low chance of rain. It may be haaaaawt but hopefully you go on a windy day to curb the humidity.
I’ve associated the Old Swiss Inn Restaurant with special occasions. As a kid our family would celebrate a birthday or my parent’s wedding anniversary there. As an adult, my foodie barkada and I had our annual Christmas reunion there not too long ago.
I seem to be on a mini-UAAP campus tour. From visiting the museum in UST, attending the photo walk in UP Diliman, I'm back in the Katipunan area to check out Ateneo's Arete.
Ever want to go on a quick vacation and do nothing? That’s exactly what I sought out for my birthday last year and was thrilled to get just that. It was such a HAPPY birthday indeed!
