Our last day in the Philippines was spent shopping and dining at SM Mall of Asia (MOA). The annual international fireworks competition was scheduled that night (France against Japan). However, due to the very focused attention we had on shopping, we totally forgot about heading out at 7PM to watch the event. Better luck next time to us!

We couldn't really say that we were done with our shopping-wish-lists but since it was already 10PM, we had no choice but to bid farewell to our favorite mall (until next year MOA!). While waiting for my dad's Pajero to pick us up, we decided to squat on the paved surface located only a few meters beside the Hypermarket. It was our first opportunity to really look at MOA's globe that night. It was actually cool! The ordinary looking giant globe in the morning turned into a very colorful sphere at night!

We waited for half an hour for the Pajero to arrive. The thirty-minute chitchat with a pretty view of the globe was worth it.

That's what I call --- simple pleasures of life!
