It's Sunday and it's my day off so I'll go malling (hehehe… sounds familiar?)

Next to watching korean/chinese/filipino telenovelas the next favorite Filipino pasttime is malling. It's actually a national sport that should be introduced into the next Olympics, we'll snatch a gold for sure if it will be included… nyahahaha. Besides the usual historical sites, boring art galleries and night life, malls are actually the new tourist destinations. You just have to realize how many malls we have now just in Metro Manila.

Ok, so back to my malling adventure. So for family day we decided to visit this new mall as a short activity, mom has to buy some gift for a golden anniversary wedding which they will be attending at 4pm. This sunday has an unusual bad sunday traffic so we got there around 230pm (so we've got only about 1hour of malling left). Once you get to the vicinity of the mall you'd see lot of cars anywhere… along side the roads, parking lots, parking spaces and literally anywhere surrounding the mall. So if you have that many cars… expect the number of people who are in that place… and I'd say literally swarming in that place. It's like suddenly the Mall of Asia is the most dense place in the country for the day. But the mall is like this giant behemoth… ready to take in as many people as it can. It's big and spacious.

According to Wiki (key: SM Mall Of Asia), SM Mall of Asia is now considered as the third largest mall in the world behind the Edmonton Mall of Canada and Golden Resource Mall of China. It boasts of an Olympic size skating rink and the much awaited IMax Theater which is one of the biggest cinema in the world… take that!

After buying the wedding gift, we have to scram out of the place so mom and my sis could go to their wedding itinerary. I went to the gym in Robinson's Place Manila and will have to go back again to Mall Of Asia for another itinerary… hehehe… see my next blog entry for this.
