Hey guys, I know I haven’t updated this blog for like, forever. Been busy with summer vacation and now I have work. But I’ll try to share more Manila goodness to you guys soon. Soon.  Or here’s an awesome idea: Do you have any cute, awesome stories about Manila? Any out-of-the-way places that you’d want to be featured here? Written anything about the city? Links? Photos?...
