City of Dreams Manila - Timeless Thursdays 27

It makes me so much at awe whenever I look at these pictures from 5 years ago with me having lots of hair! HAHA I started to have my hair declining in the past couple of years. It still gets longer but on a very slower pace but it's too thin that I just want to buzz it off again because it looks too thin and my scalp is already showing. But I'm not saying this because I feel depressed about my hair, it's just that I felt like a completely different person now without lots of it haha.

Here is a simple weekend I celebrated with my friends' family when they went on a Casino trip in Manila. I did not play but I had an amazing time seeing City of Dreams with my high school pals.

Located at a 6.2 hectare area of the Entertainment City of Aseana Avenue, Paranñaque City is City of Dreams Manila, the first and only Philippine franchise of this multinational luxury resort and casino complex.

Lea, R-Jay and Myrcel are par of my Circle of friends. We have been classmates since Kindergarten up until High School. So we are literally like brothers and sisters and we stuck together up until now.

Right after all the games and the winnings, the fun just never stops and sent us all the way to Army Navy at Blue Bay Walk in Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City. It was so much happiness and fun! I can't wait for our next Casino trip with this family.

    1. Oh Amy, that is very nice to hear! I am very happy that you both have Filipino and Chinese ancestry because I myself is a quarter Chinese since my Grandpa is from Fujian, China hence my surname Que :)

      Oh please do visit Manila (after COVID of course) Please stay at the paradise of NZ for now. I would give up all my money just to be there to be honest and breathe fresh and safe air without a mask!

  3. Dearest Stevenson, sorry, you made me laugh!
    My (other) Brother shaves his head since ages as... "it shows".
    Thin hair all my life, Nieces as well. Alas. Things could be worse!

    Friends and family are MUCH more to the heart than hair. And you have that!
    Aaaaand all the places you´ve been to! You all look so happy, it´s a joy to see!

    :-) "Peace, Bro!" Thank you again for a big, big smile!

    P.S. Lille Corinna is still stuck somewhere... poor wee one, hope she´s OK.
    Now let me dig and find something to join you here!

    1. Ah! I guess it's my German genes that give me my thin hair! Ha! But you are right, it can only get worse right?

      Awwwww you are very much right on that dear Iris! Sending you hugs from the cooling Philippines to my dear sister in Braunschweig!

  7. You look like you are having lots of fun! I do like your short cut in the blog photo now too, so I wouldn't even worry about your hair-smile. I missed last week because we were having our Thanksgiving weekend. That's what my post is about, so you can see how busy I was--and how much fun I had even though we are in these covid times. Hope you are well and happy December!

  9. What a great trip, and warm memories to recall and share here Stevenson. Thank you, it is an enjoyable post. The thinning hair reflects the awesome brain power underneath that is overheating your scalp ;)
    Stay safe
    Blessings

  10. Hi Stevenson, by coincidence I'm posting about our trip to the Philippines in December 2018 as it will be my daughter's 2nd wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks and she married in the island of Panglao.
    You all look like you had lots of fun :)

  13. How endearing and beautiful those meetings are, how good it is to meet and share experiences, the hair thing, you do not worry, law of life, those happen to all of us, to me now almost white and the hairdresser still tells me that best white that is not transparent, that is, nothing.
    Happy weekend.
    Best regards.

  18. Boa tarde meu querido amigo. Fico feliz que você aproveitou bastante essa viagem.

  19. That was quite a crowd. You must have had to take a bus to fit all of you. We have gone to casinos for the food which can be reasonable and good, but so far never to play any "games." Missed the link party again this week. I must keep on a schedule. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions I seem to get behind on all my tasks at home.

  20. My balding brother-in-law always says it's proof of manhood, because men who have a lot of testosterone go bald :)
    It must have been a very successful day. It is true that I do not like casinos, but going out with friends for fun is something else :) It's nice that you create such a harmonious package. Friends are a real treasure!
