50-Foot Christmas Tree at SM Mall of Asia

As mentioned from my previous post, the Christmas holiday season in the Philippines officially kicks-off with all the major establishments providing the public fun-filled entertainment for the whole season.  One of these major events is the lighting (unveiling) of the 50-Foot Christmas Tree of the SM Mall of Asia which is located at the Main Mall Atrium.

The event happened on Sunday, November 11, 2012 and here’s sharing to you all the video of the unveiling.

  6. Seeing Christmas Trees lighted from major establishments or at home is such a strong indicator that Christmas is around the corner. We always visit MOA to take photos beside their big Christmas Tree when I was still in Pinas. Nice.

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm.

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” !
