Dinagat Island

June 22, 2009

This is one of the views of Dinagat Island. I was browsing my best friend’s photos at Friendster and found they had a family day at one of the beautiful beaches there.

I stole and posted this pic because I am missing Dinagat Island so much. I was one of those who were sent to do survey for this island. DPWH was going to construct roads and bridges there. I was glad to be a part of the team.

The colleague that I went there with is now the chief of Planning section. I wish to see the projects that they have done there. I wish I could go back there again. I wish I could take my family there and tell them “hey I was involved in the construction of this road and that road.” Hehehe. It is free to wish, right?

Dinagat Island is an island located northeast of Mindanao in the Philippines. Until December 2006, it was part of the province of Surigao del Norte. Almost all of the province of Dinagat Islands is located on it.(wikipedia)

Scenic Sunday

This is also an entry for:
Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA, Filipino: Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Diosdado Macapagal, Kapampangan: Sulapawang Internasyonal ning Diosdado Macapagal), also called Clark International Airport, is the main airport serving the immediate vicinity of the Clark Special Economic Zone and the province of Pampanga. It also serves as the landing point for Budget Airline called Air Asia.

It’s 3 hours accessible by bus (fare: 300 Pesos) from Manila, specifically from SM Mega Mall.

Had a chance to take Air Asia when I went back to the Philippines last month.

Mall of Asia (MoA) Philippines

March 2, 2009

My sister and I visited Mall of Asia after getting my passport because it was just nearby DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) office. It was soooo huge we didn’t see all of it.

I shopped a little… only 2 items bought, one for Schenker and one for Samantha. I have a very good control when it comes to shopping. *wink*

According to wikipedia.org, The ‘SM Mall of Asia’ (also known as MOA or MoA) is a shopping mall owned by SM Prime Holdings, the largest mall developer and owner in the Philippines. SM Mall of Asia is the 2nd largest shopping mall in the Philippines after SM City North Edsa. It has a land area of 14 hectares and has a gross floor area of an approximate 410,000 m². The mall is located at Bay City, Pasay City, Philippines just near the SM Central Business Park and the Manila Bay. The mall attracts a daily foot traffic of 200,000 people.
