Night at SM Mall of Asia

As promised, I had here a separate post of the Mall of Asia (MOA), specifically that of the attraction beside the Manila Bay. Claimed as the largest mall in Asia, MOA provide a variety of leisure activities that will let you enjoy the beauty of nature as well as the magnificent man-made structures.

The mall's architectural design is of elongated circles. They took advantage of the wind contributed by the Manila Bay by creating a non-air conditioned building. It provides you the urge to visit the body of water as provided by their walk-way.














On the bridge, you'll be able to see a city-like view, with all the tall buildings and the vehicles. But once you get down, you'll be able to enjoy the "park-like" area provided for. They've got there an area that seem to serve as a sort of gym. Though it is only really meant for playing. They also got a number of restaurants and coffee shops that will attend to your cravings when you got tired of walking beside the bay. Lucky for us, we had spotted a Michael Jackson look alike in front of a bar. It is the statue-like person that got to move once you lay money on their cans. At the heart of the park is a fountain that somewhat provided cool air. I must say the view is spectacular.

Indeed, it is kinda far from my hometown. But it is worth the travel. Specially if there's pyrolympics :D

Harry Potter at IMAX 3D, SM Mall of Asia

I had an extended birthday celebration with my girl at SM Mall of Asia (MOA). She actually offered me to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at IMAX 3D. A couple of years ago, I had celebrated my birthday with her watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at IMAX 3D too. I am not that into Harry Potter, but knowing that she loves watching the movie moved me to be interested as well. The 3D experience is superb that you really have to marry it with a box office hit movie.

We arrived there around 2PM, so we had purchased the movie tickets for the 5PM show. With that we wander around at MOA first and take some pictures. But, I'll be having a separate post of the mall's sidewalks, so, stay tuned.

Here, we had a photo opp at the Harry Potter movie billboard(?). Thus, I made my pose.



In order to kill boredom of waiting for the movie to start, we take photos of MOA.


And here's my best picture, ha ha..


And, for the much awaited movie, I had my shot with my 3D glasses.



I must say that the PhP400 worth of IMAX Tickets is fair. As what I had stated in my post about Trinoma's Digital 3D Cinema, it is incomparable. IMAX let's you experience a film that allows you to feel somewhat really PART of the movie. A must try experience I should say.
