The Experience
Ninyo and I decided to go to the Ayala Triangle Gardens after our budget date at Go Greek. I got amazed with the number of lights I saw hanging in the trees! I think it is 50 times more than what I usually see in Eastwood Central Plaza. Too bad, we went there a day before the start of the lights and sounds show. But even without the sounds, we still had a great time.
There are a lot of things to do in the Ayala Triangle Gardens without spending a dime. The place is conducive for jogging because there are a lot of trees in the area, so it is easier to breathe. There are also park benches were you can sit, watch the lights and have quality time with your loved one.
The place is also a feast for photography enthusiasts. Ninyo practiced his photography skills with me as the subject (a more politically correct term for model, ehem) and the lights as background.
There are a lot of restaurants in the area in case you and your date gets hungry. You can see restaurants like Banapple (but be prepared to wait in line), Pho 24 (Ninyo said this is Vietnam's Jollibee), Kanin Club, Amici, and a lot more.
