So I made a previous entry on Roy's stay here in Manila. Here's the compilation of the descriptions I included in the Facebook albums:
Date: August 17
Location: Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Philippines
Roy Moore went to Ateneo today!
Monse first met with him at the cafeteria for lunch. After our Ph104 class, Jess and I went to the cafeteria met him. Roy was able to meet some of my coursemates and friends.
At around 2:30, we left the cafteria for AMS room, where Monse's bags are. Reg joined us after as we went to BlueSkies outside to play Rockband, for 2 hours. It was my first time doing that so I had a lot of fun!
We were heading back to Ateneo at around 5, and found ourselves too late for the talk. I'll attend the last two talks to make up for my absence today.
Since papa was already in Ateneo, we decided to ride the way to TriNoma. I dropped off Reg, Monse and Roy there, where they had dinner.
Till next time Roy!
Date: August 30

Today, Monse and I met our British friend, Roy Moore. Roy's here for a charity. He's working for "The Mango Tree" which is like an orphanage in ways. This is his second time in the Philippines.
Original Plan: Ride the car until Montalban, go around Mango Tree, play pingpong or watch movie with the kids, or go to a mall.
What happened: After a series of conversations with Monse and Roy, it was decided to just meet in TriNoma at 11.
I arrived there quite early, and decided to stay in McDonald's to wait for them. While trying to study Th131 (yes, I am a nerd), a series of events happened:
1. A kid got lost/left behind and screamed so loud near the concierge
2. Siblings (aged 8 or below) shouted and fought behind me because of the toilet
3. A man went inside to ask a random person what time it is, with an angry aura.
These are things which we don't normally notice or take note of, but it just so happened that they grabbed my attention. Haha.
I decided to go up to the 2nd floor, to Starbucks specifically, where Roy met me. A few minutes later (and by that I mean 30 minutes. Haha!), Monse and her friend Meka arrived.
We had lunch at the foodcourt, and went to Red Mango for yogurt dessert.
Monse and Meka had to leave soon, so plans for Mango Tree were cancelled. Maybe next time.

Today, I met-up with my British friend Roy. Monse and Jess were also with us today. Today's Roy's last night here in the Philippines. He will be flying tomorrow to Singapore, staying there for a week or so before flying back to UK.
I was in TriNoma at 4 PM with my father. He stayed in Seattle's Best until I was done, as he was finish some drawings. I didn't expect to actually be out for long too, and didn't know what's planned for us.
I went to Food Choices and met Roy there. Roy treated me for some ice cream. Thanks man!
Jess soon arrived. After some time, we went to Cabalen to meet Monse and her family (- kuya and regine). Instead of eating there, we ended up eating at Gerry's Grill. Vegetarian Roy. Thank you to the Onglao family for the wonderful dinner!
At 7:15, I left Roy, Monse and Jess at Gerry's Grill as I had to meet papa. Before going home, we went to Tokyo Tokyo for papa to have dinner.
Roy, we'll see you in less than a year. Take care and be good. Haha.
We had fun during Roy's stay. See you again pal!
