Well I run/climb the Mountains and trails but its always hard for me to go to any Mountains outside the metro but when I tried running @UP Academic Oval it was for me one of the most precious location here in Quezon City where you can run with fresh air, a dedicated lane for runners and cyclist, a friendly and affordable stores. If you wish to go on extreme running UP also has alot of trials that you can run in to :)

It is always a delight to spend some time in our condo unit at Eastwood City, either to meet friends or family for lunch or dinner, or just plain relax. The community is located in a busy and sprawling Metro-Manila area but once you are in Eastwood City you don't need to go far to enjoy all the amenities a major city has to offer. You have everything within reach at your leisure. You can walk to the shopping mall and shop until you drop, and to other boutique shops, dine at restaurants that offer different cuisine, watch a movie or a concert/show, relax in a coffee shop, spend some time in a book store, and many more. There are major banks, fast food restaurants, grocery stores and supermarkets within walking distance.

Contemporary art, culture and advocacy- excellent work by Marc Malto is highly commendable. The pieces appeal to people with deeper understanding of social, political, economic and spiritual values and beliefs. The collection should be shown in different parts of the Philippines. The curator should find sponsors to initiate this and inform the public.

There is a pool last time I was here. Not sure now. There was a construction for a manmade lake for boating?

This large circular park is a good place to go for a morning walk or jog or simply for stroll. It also has a museum at the center dedicated to the city's founder, Manuel L. Quezon.

After looking on Google maps, we decided to visit the Memorial because it had a "Tropical Garden" and "Botanical Garden". Don't be fooled...both are merchant areas selling plants. They are nice, but don't expect a walk-through garden area. The Memorial and Bell are just photo opportunities...not much in the way of educational and the QEX Museum doesn't exist...or at least nobdy who works there knows where it is, haha. The Food Court is actually very nice with a variety of options and was the high point of our visit...

Visited here for the first time and it was raining, most of the tables were wet because there were leaks on the roof.. There were a variety of food to choose from, and it's a good concept for a restaurant. We had carbonaras and pizzas and they were just average..

Mt.Carmel Church went though a couple years of renovation and it is now a bright and inviting place to hear mass. There are four propeller type fans to cool down parishioners replacing wall mounted electric fans and it seems to work wonders during hot and humid days.
10. Monasterio de Santa Clara

We went here after dropping by PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society). I was told that the chapel has been moved due to the road expansion, so the chapel that is currrently standing looks different from the ones in the older pictures. It is still a solemn place, you may attend the mass, pray and request the sisters to pray for your different concerns (the offering is typically a bag of eggs). When there is a mass , you can see the nuns attending the mass as well, but they are at the back in a separate area.
Pros:
- it's a quite place to attend mass.
- people are quite.
- it is not swamped with vendors.
- there is a lot of available parking space.
Cons
- if you are not from Quezon City, you might have a difficult time going here...
Tip:
1) if you'll use gps to find this place search using Monasterio de Santa Clara (and not Santa Clara Monastery)
