Jaja and I were up by 7 AM and while getting ready for breakfast we also started packing up.
We had our breakfast once again at McDonald's,Cameron. The topic of conversation was Mau and Jana's adventure last night.
On their way back to the hotel, they got lost somewhere at Austin Road. Since they could not make heads or tails of the map and it was so late they were the only ones on the street,Jana decided to ask directions from a man who turned out to be drunk!
Since they got nowhere with the guy they continued walking until they saw some local policemen. Luckily, these were able to point them to the right direction and also did not ask for their passports because Jana did not have hers at the time.
The team decided they'd just finish the details of their planning session when they got back to Manila. So for the rest of the day each one decided to do their own thing and just return to the hotel sometime after 2 PM.
Jaja,who heard stories of the sale at Central wanted to go there but I managed to dissuade her, pointing out that getting there would already eat up time. She agreed to just do her last minute shopping around the area. Mau decided to join us,while Jana said she would go to the nearby museum and tour the place.
Sieg and Tina decided to just stay at the hotel. We were informed later that we had to transfer our baggage to 1509 because we had to vacate one of the rooms to make way for arriving guests.
Jaja, Mau and I went to the Giordano store along Nathan and I bought T-shirts for the boys and myself. Jaja wanted to take a look at the Bluestar shop so I left her and Mau, and went back to the hotel so I could help Sieg transfer our stuff to the other room.
Sometime later Jaja and Mau arrived saying they had found some bargains at a tiangge. But when she started looking for her purchases she realized she had left them in one of the shops so we hurried back to the place. Thankfully,it was still there.
At this point Jaja wasn't thinking of lunch anymore...just shopping! She asked Mau for the address of the ESPIRIT outlet which was supposedly nearby,and we set forth to look for it. We couldn't find it at first but they did see a Bossini store which they wanted to check out.
We found the Espirit store eventually so while the two looked for bargains I went to a nearby 7-11 and bought some food for our lunch which I intended to eat when we returned to the hotel.
Jaja got some things for herself and Tasha and from there we went back to the hotel. We brought our luggage to the lobby and waited for our van. Meanwhile, Jaja repacked our bags to accomodate her last minute purchases.
At around 2:45 PM
