I thought I was done going to Manila since all my personal belongings have been packed and on its way to Texas. But with a week left I had to run a last minute errand in Makati. It has been raining a couple of days straight and traffic was bound to be a pain in the butt...and wouldn't you know it...it took 3 hrs!!!! to get there. Did some light browsing for any last minute items & lunch @ Thai Silk @ the Serenade. Then went by to say my final goodbye to Liza. Didn't take too long to get my appt done so decided to stopped by Greenhills to kill some time and wait out the heavy traffic. Thuyen & I just walked and browsed the many vendors there...esp for good quality pearls but of course they all say that lol. As we were trying to make a deal with our fav vendor I noticed on my right just next to us were these tall black guys looking at pearls & jewelry & wheeling & dealing. Kinda funny cuz I recognized one of them...Dominique Wilkins from the Atlanta Hawks way back in the 80's. Also spotted there were Tim Hardaway & Robert Horry but Kareem Abdul Jabbar was no where in sight. I was tempted to go and get an autograph just for the sake of having it but decided to give them some space. Plus I forgot my digicam in the car...just my luck but really who would've thunk these guys would be here hahaha. I mean I knew they were here in town to play in the NBA Asia Challenge but Greenhills!!??? But I guess if you ever are in Manila you have to at least get the Greenhills experience, celebrity or not;-)
