My Travel Haul & Expenses of Philippines (2012)

Philippines might sounds like nothing to shop for but you will be shocked that there are plenty of shopping malls in Manila city itself. Although we didn't manage to visit of them, at least we did visit few of them such as SM Mall of Asia and even few malls which situated in Ayala Station. I had to admit that it's really hard for me to resist myself from shopping when I travel abroad but in the mean time, I did refrain myself from shopping too much cause I do have my own budget when comes to shopping.

And now let me reveal what did I bought when throughout my 7 days and 6 nights trip in Philippines:

#1: As usual, this is all my shopping and foods haul from Philippines.

#2: Food hauls - The dried mangoes were so delicious and yummy! Regret for bought so little.

Bought most of my food and snack from supermarket of SM Mall of Asia. 

#3: My travel collections: Keychains and fridge magnets 

Fridge magnets bought from different places - With the brand Kultura, its from SM Mall of Asia whereas those in pack bought from Quiapo Market Manila.

#3: My very first luggage tags collection - Bought from SM Mall of Asia as well

#4: Accessories - Earrings from Kultura, SM Mall of Asia and hair clips from The Landmark

#5: Philippines tote bag and toiletries bag from Kultura, SM Mall of Asia - The quality is worth every dollar we paid.

#6: I'm kinda fancy sling bags and bought both of these from The Landmark where both cost RM57

#7: Canvas flat shoe from night market. Just cost P100, approx to RM7. Freaking dirt cheap.

I even wore the white one throughout my trip to Hatyai, Thailand last month. 

#8: T-shirts and tops for my family including my uncle and Boyfie.

And the following is my sharing of the full details of my travel expenses that I spend throughout the 7 days and 6 nights trip around Philippines:

(The rate as at the time I changed; RM7.24 : P100)

NOTE:

1. The airfare didn't included the airport tax and it's compulsory to pay before depart. 
2. Initially, we travelled by hand-carry but unfortunately our umbrellas were strictly prohibited to be on board. Therefore, got no choice but being forced to check-in just for the sake of our umbrellas.
3. Stayed for 6 nights throughout our trip. For more information about this budget guesthouse, click HERE. 
4. Rate for a day is P3,500 - unlimited time per day and it's including the fuel and driver fee as well but excluded the parking and entrance fees.
5. This includes the admission fees, boat and horse ride. 
6. Most of my souvenirs and shopping haul are as above photos. Also including postcards and stamps which I bought and send to recipients in Philippines.
