The University of the Philippines (UP) is home and alma mater to some of the country's best and brightest. It has been on the road to putting up new buildings and infrastructure in recent years due to newly found funding from the private sector. Shown in the picture is the UP Ampitheater, one of the more recent structures in the campus. The UP loop is a popular destination for joggers and bikers since half the road is dedicated to them. It is most popular especially on Sundays when the UP loop is totally closed off to motor vehicles.

I was truly impressed by its well manicured gardens and the serene atmosphere that it offers. The Poor Clares have always lived up to the ideals of simplicity and deep love of God. The prayerful ambience got me. I knelt and whispered my most fervent prayers.

If you just want to chill, hangout, and enjoy nature with your family and friends, Quezon Memorial Circle is a good place to go to. A lot of activities to do such as zumba, ballroom, boxing, food trip, bazaar shopping, plant buying or just simply appreciating nature and being at peace.

I caught a GRAB prebooked modern car from near GMA railway station at a weekday peak cost of P374. As there were no traffic jams at 0900 hours on a Thursday, in 25 minutes I was at the park. Entrance was P50. The aged in her 20s Filipina spoke excellent English. The park has a typical 1000 visitors on a weekend day but only 200 or so on most non-holiday weekdays. Bring water and a hat as even at 1000 hours it was humid and very warm. A lot of the park is in shade, but not all. I did not experience any mosquitoes but insect repellent may be another wise item to carry. I inspected the butterfly house at an extra cost of P60. There were about 30 flying of three species. In summer, from March, a larger aviary is opened. The park covers 73 hectares and has benefited hugely from thousands of trees and understorey planted since 2001. The forest trails were unsigned but terrific, with dense canopies. I saw some colourful birds including a yellow-bellied flycatcher. One really felt a million miles away from Metro Manila. There are two swimming pool complexes. The one that was open has about an eight lane, 50 metre pool that was very clean and looked inviting. Entrance was P80. There are refreshment kiosks with food prices as low as P15. A 330ml can of Coke was P40. The flower terraces have views of La Mesa dam. A lot of schoolchildren were visiting on this weekday and were noisy, but did not seem to walk into the forest. This is a great attraction. An oasis away from the traffic and congestion of the Metro Manila area. It is not open on Christmas Day and possibly not on Good Friday, but apart from that opens 363 days a year 0800 - 1700. Arriving early gives the best chance to see birds, particularly if one has binoculars. Some of the trees are 30 metres tall, at least. I walked to the bridge (where there was a friendly guard who spoke good English) and eventually found a tricycle to the Jollibee (and other restaurants) complex on Pearl Drive. The fare was P30. I then caught a taxi to my other Quezon City destination.

In the midst of furniture shops, you’ll find this resto tucked in the corner with cats in cages. People might think it’s a cat cafe, but it’s an Italian resto, an under-rated one if you ask me. More about why there are cats in cages. We ordered spaghetti aglio and vegetarian pizza. It was unexpectedly delicious. Price range is ok for the servings; and did I mention it was delicious. Oh and there was a German Shepherd dog on the couch, don’t worry its well secured he wouldn’t be able to get to you, just stay clear of the couch area. We have been told that these were rescued puspin ????(local cats) as rescued by the owner herself. So if you are an animal lover who also loves Italian food, this is a place to be. If you just love ????Italian food then it’s also a good place to dine.
