Once in a while...

Yes, I’m back, back to where I came from, not necessarily where I want to be (at this point it still is).  After a short stint in Singapore it only took a 3 hour plane ride to Manila International Airport  It was not that far compared to the 8 hour plane ride from Sydney to Changi International Airport.  Again I reiterate, I am not a fan of plane rides I fi  could drive from one to point to another I will.  Anyway, the timing of my arrival was, should I say, spot on it was on the 29th of January 2 days before New years eve.  We arrived around 10 pm so there was not much we could do as it was close to midnight already.  However, I manage to owe the local Sari-sari store a case of liquid gold (not oil bit San Miguel Beer), that is another story though.  Writing this, it is now the 3rd of January 2011 , happy new Year by the way, and so far I’ve managed to:

  Catch up with my old friends
  Celebrate again, one of the happiest New Year bash
  Ate a kilo of tender juicy hotdogs
  Ate 100 pesos worth of pandesal
  Ate Sansrival  from Goldilocks
  Ate Mocha rolls from Goldilocks
  Make tusok tusok fishballs
  Had lunch with my in laws in Cabalen
  Had weightless bacon for breakfast
  Drank coke on the smallest coke bottle you could imagine
  Gone back and forth everywhere on a motorbike
  Had six baluts so far
  Played billiards on a proper billiard table
  Played bowling
  Drove to the Domestic airport and back
  Met up with the Trinidads at Via Mare Shangrila
  Met up with the Villanuevas
  Met up with the Del Rosarios
  Ate at Chowking
  Ate at Jolibee

That was a long list isn’t it.  And it’s just the beginning.
