TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES AYALA TRIANGLE

My Personal Experience: I went to Ayala Triangle this year November 20, 2013, together with my job hunting buddy. We went first to pass resume at The Peninsula Manila and some restaurants around Ayala Avenue. We went to Ayala Triangle to sit down and rest after exhausting day we decided to pose along with the vibrant ambience and cool shade.















Ayala Triangle
The Ayala Triangle Gardens is Makati’s Central Park, an urban oasis at the heart of the central business district. In addition to landscaped park grounds, there is a row of one-of-a-kind restaurants that offer fresh, new dining concepts with al fresco seating.

My Movie Review: The movie is a blast, nice start with humongous spiders, bumpy ride at river is the best and gigantic dragon that is full of fury. The Hobbit has been my year-end movie, last year with An Unexpected Journey, this year with The Desolation Of Smaug and looking forward next year. Big improvement from the first one, I almost fell asleep on the middle part last year but now I'm wide awake I didn't missed any of their big adventures!!!
My Favorite Lines: "Come now! Don't be shy. Step into the light!" "If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together." "It never ceases to amaze me, the courage of Hobbits..."

My Movie Review: The movie is short in delivery, it has a nice concept but didn't push the envelope and limited ending. The message is good, about unconditional family whose father tries to figure out his purpose in life and children wants sense of belongingness to their father but it lacks spice and variation. I want it to have more complication so when the problem was solved, the feeling would be great but it chooses to be simple and safety.
My Favorite Term: Starbuck

Starbuck means 'astronaut'. It is of English origin and is generally used for both boys and girls. It is pronounced Star-buck and is made up of two syllables and eight letters.
