Booked a night at the Holiday Inn Galleria while Manila was taking a beating from a low pressure area. The sun did not show up, and the view from the 18th floor was a wee bit depressing. I took a hot bath, turned the TV on, and plastered myself in the plush bed. It felt awesome.
It was the break that I needed. Thanks darling E!
The hotel was alright, still felt a bit dated amidst the renovations. The corridors looked creepy, and I was able to hear conversations of people outside. Aside from the bed, the large windows and the big space, I did not fancy everything else. They should really consider changing their color template... just saying.
I loved how small I felt in the middle of this king-sized bed.
What I didn't love were the colors of the carpet, the upholstery and the drapes. Ang schwanget.
Not a pillow user here, but I appreciate the detail.
The usual 32-inch LCD atop the old wooden chest.
And I just had to have a posterity shot. =p
A day before this, I spotted a tempting deal at another group-buying site. It was for a signature Spa Oceana Treatment at the Suriya Spa which was just a cab ride away from the hotel. Reading "you will leave feeling like a princess and goddess combined" had me sold and thought it was perfect while I wait for my man - so we bought it. Unfortunately, it came out to be a big disappointment. As someone who's so used to getting kneaded hard, their machine did nothing to me. I was hoping it was similar to the Aqua Massage machine my sister used in Vegas but it wasn't. I literally just had a scrub and a tub bath and that was it. Sayang!
I went back to the hotel passed by Domino's Pizza in Silver City. It brought me childhood memories of gorging a whole pie all by myself so at midnight, I called for delivery! (sucks that I had to go down the lobby to pick up my food! pfft!)
Yes, all for me! Haha!
10" Extravagganza ( I only had a slice! )
This used to be my favorite, and honestly, I don't remember how it tasted before!
(I did not even finish half of it!)
My sister's doorbell woke me from a blissful languor the following morning and she joined me for breakfast.
Halloo sisturrr!
Carbs, sodium and fat! Whatta way to start the day!
Ok, my pretentious attempt to eating healthy!
I kept looking at these hardworking construction workers the whole time I was having breakfast.
The sister and I went back to my room and dozed the remaining time off.
We super loved the bed, she almost took the soft blanket with her home! Lol!
