Here’s another one of my Manila trip blog posts. 🙂 As if my lunch date with my mom and merienda with the girls wasn’t enough, I went to meet my siblings and my dad after. Yup, I arrived in Manila around 10am and I only stepped foot in my house around midnight. Talk about making the most of my first day back. :p So here’s a recap of the last part of my day:

Our meeting place was Mega Mall coz my sister, aside from looming, is taking up skating. The newly renovated Mega Mall is wow. Very different from what I left it.

There was a cosplay convention as well and my other sister was participating in it. My brother and I tried to look for her, to no avail, so we ended up asking random people for photos instead. We were waiting for our dad but at the last minute, he changed the meeting point to Trinoma instead. Two hours of rain and traffic later, we were greeted by this welcome sight –

We had our dinner at Kimpura wherein we availed one of their tepanyaki sets. The reason being that the previous time we went, we ordered so much that my dad commented that we might as well have gone for the tepanyaki set. 
The set was well worth it!! You can’t really see it in the photos but there was a loooot of food. Green tea ice cream is alwaaaays the best ending to a japanese meal. 🙂
Afterwards, we went to watch Blended. Is it just me, but does Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore even age!? It’s like “Robbie and Julia” and “Henry and Lucy” all over again but I’m not complaining, I love that duo. 
Blended is definitely a nice family movie to watch just as long as your kids aren’t too young. It got a lot of laughs from my family and the entire Trinoma cinema (which has a pretty huge seating capacity). Perfect way to end our hodgepodge “blended” date that involved ice skating, cosplay, tepanyaki and two malls on almost the opposite sides of Edsa.
