Ayala Triangle Festival of Lights

During Christmas season, Ayala Triangle Gardens continue to amaze people with its Festival of Lights. Located within the Makati Central Business District, the spectacular light show could be witnessed at the trial garden in Ayala Avenue. For 2022, it will run for the whole month of December until the 8th of January 2023. It will be a 20-minute light and sound show which will run every hour from 6pm to 10pm. The light exhibition is accompanied by festive Christmas songs. It was my frist time seeing the show and I can say that it’s really worth the experience. Indeed, a must see if you happen to visit Makati CBD.

ATG: A Beauty Hiding in Plain Sight!

Oftentimes, we look too far that we don't even realize that we get to overlook those that are right in front of us. Having lived at the heart of Makati's Central Business District for the most part of my adult life, the place has gone too familiar, that I seldom get to give those that are literally in my immediate environment the usual appreciation they deserve. Maybe I simply do not express it as open as I should, but I thrived in this City for certain charm I see and feel being here. Ayala Triangle Garden, in particular, may just be one big piece of green space in the middle of the towering forest of stones and glass, has always been witness to my walk home after long hours of work. It has since been developed and transformed to be more commercial with the additions of new buildings and restaurants, but remains the breathing space for many, including me. The Acacia trees which has been standing in the park, has provided shades and comfort on those hot summer days, when living in the city seems unbearable. Ayala Triangle Garden is a quick escape from the monotony of Makati life. I sometime think how would a visit Singapore's Gardens compare. Well, let's make it a Wishlist! #2023travelwish

Understanding Philippine History!🇵🇭

#timetotravel This museum is one of the best in the Philippines. There are a lot of collections and ancient Filipino atrificats here that are really well dispayed and well presented. To be honest, this is more than your standard museum, it's just well thought out, every section and every exhibit is amazingly done. We spent almost I guess two hours or more here, we just forgot the time because we were really hooked. It is really worth re-visiting after the last one which was maybe 15 years ago. Ticket Price: Around 500. Nearest Subway Station: MRT Ayala Avenue. Enjoy your visit ! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #museum #culture #heritage #philippines

Metro Manila is big, dense, and crazy. Just when you have just started exploring, you get lost in the crowd🤯, choke on the pollution, or drown in her nagging. But, there is so much to see in many of its corners. 👀Many of these can be explored on your own.🛵🚋🚌👣 1. If Manila had a soul, you’d find it hiding inside any ancient structure in INTRAMUROS.🧱 2. every major city in the world has a Chinatown. In Manila it is BINONDO.🇨🇳 3. Ayala Museum 🔝 4.RIZAL PARK ✅ 5. Explore the National Museum #philippines #philippinestrip #manila #whattodo #hashtags #exploresgtogether #explore

A bit modern Spanish flavor in Makati

A Charming Park in Makati!🇵🇭

#timetotravel Greenbelt Park is such a relaxing place to visit especially after shopping and strolling around Makati City. It is cool due to the trees that surround the park, there are many benches that you could sit on and just eat your snacks. I really do appreciate that they really put an effort to make a park in the middle of a financial city. This park is also famous of its little catholic chapel where locals go to. If you are around the area and your accommodation is in Makati then don't miss this one. ! It is just right by Greenbelt Mall. Address: Makati Ave, Makati, Metro Manila

Singapore is the land of food. Stroll along the streets, markets and hawker centers to find authentic delicacies from around the world. Here in the Philippines, Nanyang cuisine offers a unique taste of Asian Singapore fusion dishes made with quality ingredients.
