(Eventful) Trip to Ermita

Usually my posts here are about a planned vacation: going to the beach, runaway to a tourist spot. But today would be different.

She and I went to PGH last April 13th to visit a close friend's mom.

We boarded a bus bound for Taft Avenue. [Bus drivers (most especially city bus drivers) are very notorious kaskaseros]. Well, accidents do happen and our bus hit another bus along the *(&^&^%**_^^$ SLEX, near the Sta. Rosa exit. The damage was minor (little dent on the body) but when the driver stepped on the brakes, the brakes gave way. So no choice- we had to change/transfer buses.

We managed to change buses and arrived at PGH without further unfortunate incident.

Added convenience: ATM's on the ground floor of PGH

Well, after being rejected as a blood donor twice in one day, we proceeded to Robinson's Place, just at the back of PGH. I haven't been here since Tatay was confined at PGH (2001?).

Robinson's appended it's next door neighbor, the Manila Midtown Hotel. This is how it looks like:



Going around the mall and analyzing the shop directory, we noticed this:





BEE CHENG HIANG. Singapore's bakwa. Yummy. Well, I remember it to be yummy. We didn't buy- mahal e. hehehe.
