Last Friday, Manila was under a Signal No. 2 Typhoon named Santi – but that didn’t stop us from going out. We braved strong torrential rains and bellowing winds to get to the newest gambling place in town – Solaire!

We didn’t really go there to gamble, we just wanted to check out the place. Hehe. First stop, food at the posh food court!

I liked the lights at the center of the food court!

Mandatory group photo…

…and mandatory food shot! I ordered Black Pepper Beef which was too good! Haha. I wanted more rice!

After eating, we explored the casino. We tried out the slot machines, roulette, dice game, and played a little Black Jack! I won 500 pesos from the slot machine. Yehey!

Since we couldn’t take photos inside the gambling area, we took them at the lobby.

The ladies under the chandelier!

I have to be in the photo too!

By the fountain…

…and the shining, shimmering, splendid centerpiece…on the ceiling.

We headed home at around 4 already, and it was still stormy outside. I got home at 6 in the morning after dropping everyone home.
