Eye of MoA (as they call it) is this HUGE Ferris Wheel that they built by the San Miguel by the Bay walkway. Honestly, it looks dangerous since it's practically standing on unstable ground and Manila Bay is just under it... but for the sake of looking at the lights across the city, Pachig and I braved the heights and rode on one of the carts.
I'm not really scared of heights... but when you get to think of the fact that the only thing holding you up a hundred feet above the ground is a little cart bolted to a huge revolving thing... you'd get a bit weak on your knees too.
The view was worth the money you paid for the ride (150/person). However, since it was just Pachig and I and a single cart can accommodate up to 4 persons, we had to settle for sharing our cart with 2 strangers. Awkward of all awkward was the fact that those strangers was a couple. A very public display of affection(PDA) type of couple. I wanted to yell at them that they should have the decency to stop kissing each other's face off because they were sitting right across us and that they paid to see a view and not make out. But alas, I had to endure my 45-minute ride and pretend that they didn't exist.
P.S.: This was the evening of January 26, 2012. We came from Manila Ocean Park, thus, the same clothes I was wearing. It was an "adventure-packed" anniversary for us.
