Back in Manila

This is the sight that greeted me in the airport -- after a week in Western Visayas. Nice.

Stars in SM Mall of Asia

I have always thought I'd see a lot of stars -- celebrities -- in Metro Manila's newest, most flamboyant mall but I was wrong. On my second ever (would you believe that?) visit during Christmas day, I see a clear section cut of Philippine demographics -- from the likes of Harrison Plaza-goers (around 70%) to the likes of The Podium-goers. SWS surveyors may have a field day here.
