Answer 2

I didn't do anything really. When did summer start? June 15 was the last day. When does it end? First day is August 29. Did you go on any vacations? Went to go see my best friend for two weeks, had the time of my life. Did you have a job? Nope. What was your daily schedule like? o Stay up until 4 am o Sleep until 9 am o Have breakfast o Sleep until around 1 or 2 pm o Take a shower o Watch documentaries, browse Tumblr until 4 am. Have you ever had to write an essay about how you spent your summer vacation like in the movies? Yeah, and it really sucks. I used to lie and make it seem like I actually had a life.

Answer 3

I dont know how you describe a perfect vacation in your point of view. I live in manila and for me the best way to spend my summer vacation is away from crowded manila. :D
You should be having fun under the sun, good conversations with friends on the shore, camp fires, food trips, island hopping, scuba diving etc.
There's a lot to do in manila actually but, people from manila are getting away from manila for summer vacation though.hehe. :D
But, you might want to try clubbing at night, bar hopping, Historical sights ( you can even go to corregidor island, its only a ferry ride from the CCP complex pier. A day tour costs around 1500-2000 pesos only)

have fun with ur summer vacation! :D

Answer 4

Well, make an overnight trip to Corregidor. Then another overnight trip to Banaue Rice Terraces. Then go to Baguio for another overnight stay. Till you can go farther to Laoag by plane to visit the Marcos Museum and to Vigan to find the Philippine culture. On your way home pass by Hundred Islands and stay there for a night or two.
Have a walk or jog at the University of the Philippines Campus. Take a bus going to Laguna Resorts. If you're bored, take a flight to Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Samar, Siquijor, Romblon, Iloilo, and Boracay, Aklan.
If you are still that super energetic, take a ferry on your way to Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Palawan and Bukidnon or Cotabato.
Have a nice trip in the Philippines! Oh, before anything else, bring a mosquito repellent so as not to suffer from Dengue.

Answer 5

Day tours from Manila will be cool. Try Tagaytay, Subic or Clark. City sites within Manila will be worth exploring, try Intramuros, Glorietta, Greenbelt, Eastwood, Greenhills and Cubao. Meeting up with other answerers in Yahoo!Answers Philippines might also prove interesting. Enjoy your stay.

Answer 6

For 15 days, i can recommend you to stay in Banaue for 3nts then Baguio 3nts then Laoag, Vigan and Pagudpud beach. Its all down north. From not so hot place to beach then back to Manila. Then to Tagaytay and beach resort to Batangas or Cavite. If you want up to Puerto Galera.

Answer 7

Boracay

Answer 8

to me, Manila is pretty crouded, it's better to go out in the country/province like Cebu, Bohol, etc.

Answer 9

Historical tours.

Answer 10

1.) Exercise: Enjoy the sea breeze & scenic view of the Manila Bay at the CCP Complex & the Baywalk along Roxas Boulevard. These have wide & well-paved jogging bicycle paths & ubiquitos park benches for rest. Bicycles can be rented for an hour for as low as PHP 20-50. Have a breakfast across the street at the ever-dependable Aristocrat (open 24 hours) right beside the Rajah Sulayman Plaza & the Malate Church.
2.) Go church-tripping: Take a tour of the oldest church in the city & gain some insights on living in the only Catholic nation in Asia.
3.) Look! Up in the Sky! : Basic telescopes perfect for stargazing are available at most toy stores & hobby shops. Watch the night sky from your backyard or atop your roof! For daytime skywatching, visit the National Musuem Planetarium located Rizal Park Complex on P. Burgos Street in Manila.
4.) Taste the world: Expand your palate by exposing them to different kinds of food. Go on culinary adventure by taking a trip to Binondo to try authentic Chines cuisine in the many teahouses along Ongpin street. For more adventure, drop by Bombay Canteen on Dela Costa street, Legazpi village, Makati for a taste of real Indian food at budget-friendly prices. And lastly, educate yourself on what it means to be uniquely Filipino by making "tusok-tusok" the fishballs & putting fear factor contestants to shame with sumptuous "balut or penoy".
5.) Have a Discovery Channel or National Geographic if you will. Soak up culture and history with a visit to the National Museum on Burgos Street or a calesa ride-----available in Chinatown & Intramuros.
6.) Movie Delight! Greenbelt 3 cinemas, Makati city. The GB3 experience starts at the lobby with huge European chandeliers evoking memories of moviegoing was a treasured event, not an everyday thing.
7.)The Spa: Bid adieu for an afternoon by pampering your body & relaxing your minds at The Spa, Lower Ground, Alabang, Muntinlupa.
8.) The Peninsula Manila, Ayala corner Makati Avenues, Makati City.
: For a quick getaway right in the heart of Metro Manila. You can spend lovely nights in hotel heaven. For dinner, try the grilled prime cuts at their signature restaurant, Old Manila, or the Asian fusion cuisine at Spices. Then you can have drinks at The Conservatory while listening to the blues.

To john r:
Take a chill pill before you make me barf.
My statement depends on the person if he/she goes for the budget to the extravagant. !-5 are very affordable while 6-8 are for those who wants to really pamper themselves even just once in a while & that depends if they really have the big budget for summer bonding. Try to read thoroughly but if you can't afford such things just go on chillin' in your crib and watch the tube.

To jojo j:
Obviously, He had already deleted his heinous answer coz he just realized that he's such a geek.
BTW, I can smell his pranks with his troll identities.
You know... It's amazing that you just appear out of the blue with capital letters right after he deleted his answer . Then to think I've checked your answers. This is the only Q you've answered today in Y/A Phils. Plus most of your best answers are from john r!
Isn't that obvious already! LMAO!
It is just some symptoms of being an attention deficit.
You even forgot to answer the asker's Q. (wink wink)
Duh! You can do better than that.
Him & his troll identities really gross me out the door. LMAO!
