CHINA TOWN MANILA
My aunt asked me to go to Ongpin Jewelry Center to inquire about the prices of gold and compare it to our province's price. As a good nephew, I happily obliged her order, because I'm also curious about the place since the way my aunt shared Ongpin with me in the year 2018 had me amazed. She's a businesswoman you see, and every time she shares her business plans, she influences me to do the same, but I'm not that good as her.
I asked @nmore if she knows the place, and thankfully she was familiar with the area, I asked her again if she could come with me and she agreed. I'm so grateful to nmore for knowing everything! 😭
She also suggested we go to a good Chinese restaurant after, and as someone who likes Chinese food, I was down for it,
I didn't take pictures inside the jewelry shop though when we arrived at the location, since I feel like it was not allowed, and I wouldn't want to get in trouble by doing so, nmore inquired about the price for me and I informed my aunt after.
It was a quick inquiry though, so nmore and I walked, going to the Chinese restaurant she told me about,
this caught my attention since the words on those boards amused me, my mind just thinks of the friendship drug literally and finds ChawadiCup witty then the CHARME is like SEXME since Char in Bisaya is sometimes used to have sex 😂 pardon the dirty mind 😅
nmore ordered siomai, dumplings, and gulaman drinks, at first I thought 2 dollars for 4 siomai was expensive, I was thinking of a small siomai at that time, but when it got served, it was a big size siomai 😮 which was very worth it, It was delicious too! I already love the place! Arc arrived and we ordered more siomai and gulaman for her,
nmore wanted to go to Ho-land Hopia and Bakery to buy a gift for arcs family since she's visiting them, I think it was sweet of her to do that awww...😌
nmore gave us fortune cookies after, which reminds me of the Disney movie Freaky Friday, the characters there switched bodies after reading a fortune cookie.
If that movie were to happen in real life and I swapped bodies with @arcgspy had me thinking that time hahaha!
It also reminds me of HivePH blogging contest this may question no.1 about "switching lives with an hiver, who would it be and why?"
should I join the contest and say I'd change body with arc? hmm...🤔
I asked nmore if there was a place I could buy some shirts since the ones I brought with me are all used up. It was so hot in Manila that it made me sweat a lot and I had to change clothes like 2 times a day, laundry wasn't an option for me at that time.
MARUGAME UDON & TEMPURA
After buying my clothes, we had our dinner at Marugame Udon & Tempura in ayala mall circuit, I suggested eating at this Japanese restaurant because the foods are delicious and we don't have marugame in Mindanao, so let's say I'm making the most out of the place 😆
BACK AT THE HOTEL
After dinner ~ we went back to the hotel, arc, and nmore tasted the leche plan from ho-land, like trying out if it was delicious or not, I remember nmore wasn't satisfied with the taste.
That night we just bonded and talked at the hotel till Arc wanted to go home since she had an important appointment the next day, I had so much fun being with them that day ~ I hope it happens again! 😘 Thank you nmore and arc ~ 💞
