There’s No Place Like Home

So, an obligatory vacation entry before I start writing of other things. Heh.

—

Got ourselves a brand spankin’ new camera before we left because our old camera was adopted by my sister-in-law. It was that or a new video card said ze husband. We got a nice package from Harvey Normal which included an extra SD card, extra battery, a tripod and a camera bag in addition to the kit. I was sweet-talking the sales guy to give us a UV filter for free but in return he said, we had to buy a digital frame / photo printer. Guess who are now also proud owners of a digital frame / photo printer?

Anyway, after three hours of pressure-filled ear (I think it has something to do with me sitting in the middle chair), we arrived in Manila. Proceeded to our old apartment in Makati to leave our stuff. Met with a bunch of our college friends in Gerry’s at Insular Life Building for some Pinoy food. ILU, sisig.

Why is it so f*n hot in Manila?

—

Visited my old office for a bit of QT with my crazy ex-colleagues.

—

Went back to the apartment to get some of our things before going to Los Baños since it was our friend C’s wedding the following day. Ate itlog ng pugo during the bus ride and C2 Apple. Hrhr. Checked in to the Splash Hotel. Room was kinda disappointing.

—

Met with my cousin P and his girlfriend A for lunch in grove. Went back to the hotel to prepare for the wedding. Massive traffic jam ensues because of the numerous fiestas. Had to ask the hotel for car service to bring us to the place without having to go through the jam.

C and L’s wedding <3

—

I miss my bestfriend L.

—

After wedding party with friends at LB Square then resort. Don’t remember much except me chatting with A about our orgmates. Haha.

—

Back to Makati then home to Pacita. I really missed my boys.

—

Dinner with friends at Bubba Gump. Then off to C and K’s condo to chat some more and to get our e-tickets. (of course I left the one I printed in Singapore). I have so much love for these guys.

—

Zamboanga adventure with in-laws and other relatives. My in-laws are great! Ate crabs almost the whole time that we stayed there. Did a bit of sightseeing and shopping for more pasalubong.

—

Went back home to Pacita for a bit more quality time with my family.

—

GPE2. Friends. Family. SF2. Tekken. Tequila slammer. <3

—

Shopping for things to bring back to Singapore.

Flight back.
