The SAA Educational Tour started last October 25-29, 2009. I was part of Bus 4, the last (yet, the fastest) bus. We went all around Metro Manila.

October 25- Departure for Manila. OUr original bus wasn't cooling AT ALL. So we had to wait for a replacement bus. And we were off.

October 26- After 4 stops, we reached ASILO, and had a 2 hour rest ONLY. We then rushed to our first stops, SSC- Manila, Ocean Park, BSP, Manila Cathedral and Star City. I do not wish to go into details because this blogpost will be very long. I will just summarize it.

SSC- Great food.

Ocean Park- Bonding with Kim the whole time from Pancake House all the way to the boat.

BSP- Money, Money, Money.

Manila Cathedral- <3 wow.

Star City- ...

October 27- This day, we only had 3 places to go, because of the distance. From UN Ave, down in center Manila, we went all the way to the Womens' Correctional Institute in Mandaluyong. There, we got to bond with the inmates, who shared a lot of their stories. We also got to buy their own products. Truly, it was one highlight of the trip. Afterwards, we visited ABSCBN. Too bad there were few celebrities. Our tour was on the day of Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez' Wedding. After ABS, we went to Mall of Asia and waited until 8 for our Science Discovery Tour

October 28- We first went to Greenbelt 1 to watch Jack and the Beanstalk, sponsored by Repertory Philippines. All I can say is that I am a bit old for that. I then had lunch with Aze and Janno in Bubba Gump c/o the Beluans. :) Then we went to the awesome Ayala Museum. Srsly, I want the gold :)) Then we ended the day with Trinoma Shopping. :)

October 29- We left so early! :| And we went straight to St. Benedict's Spirituality Center in Tagaytay :) We went around the cool (literally) area,and was followed by St. Scho Westgrove, where I saw Patrice Bonifacio and Janinne Sy. Haha. It was followed by the Gardenia Tour, which was full of bread, before headed back to Legazpi

October 30- 3AM. SAA AT NIGHT <3

B. UN
I will skip the Bad news first. UN day was great. Too much to do, lots of nice costumes, lots of food/drinks. ;) And good exhibits. For our class, umm. The exhibits were meh. Last year's were better. But the highlight was the Night. AWESOME. It ended at 8pm
