Things I Have Learned From On Vacation (That Is, On The Pearl Of The Orient). 4:27 PM

o1. ‘On the way’ usually means ‘I’m almost done but I can’t be bothered to finish any quicker’.

o2. ‘Almost finished’ means half an hour more.

o3. Do NOT wear heels if you’re going to any huge ass malls like SM, MOA, Megamall etc.

o4. Always bring a hanky/bandana with you if you’re going to the city, lest you die of inhaling way too much dust and/or smoke because;

o5. The city is WAY too polluted for its own good.

o6. Riding the LRT is fun.

o7. Do sit at the end of the jeep; you get a quick getaway especially if there’s a holdup although.

o8. Contrary to the above, do NOT sit at the very end of the jeepney if it’s a long drive on a bumpy road, unless you want to suffer from mild nausea later on. Depends on what kinds of person you are, really, if are such who can take feeling queasy as a consequence, then please, do sit at the end.

o9. Riding the jeep is fun, especially when you get the wind in your face…except when it’s all polluted.

10. The Philippines is ASS HUGE. Yes, I know that now.

11. Filipinos will do anything to advertize their products, including spending millions just to show you their tiresome commercials at least 3 times at every commercial break (honestly, I think I can recite any Philippine brand’s commercial now if you ask due to LONG ads on TV).

12. More time is spent on commercial breaks rather than the show you’re inclined to be watching. For a one hour show, you only watch for half an hour and commercials take the other 40 minutes.

13. When sales ladies go up to you and ask what you want, never say ‘just looking around’. They give me dirty looks whenever I say that.

14. Having ubër cool cousins makes up for the cramped space.

15. ALWAYS hold on when riding the LRT, lest you fall flat on your face to your own embarrassment.

16. Billboards will guide your way home.

17. Beware of men with earphones plugged, clutching their bags and muttering incoherently while rocking back and forth :S

18. There is no point in watching TV shows since commercial breaks pop up in less than 5 minutes into said show.

19. The food is way better here.

20. Everything is different, the sky, the buildings, the people…the SMELL.

and

21. You WILL miss the place.

Home Nevertheless. Days Five && Six; Mainly The City. 11:42 PM

15th June.

these two'd fall asleep ANYWHERE. Including mall floors, sidewalks and shoe stores.

MOA?

They had these awesome drug/bomb sniffer dogs. I couldn't get it to face me though :


the rink at MOA, looks like shit here but it's awesome really. We were planning to go skate but then the Zamboni was out.

"..do you remember the way I held your hand under the lampost?"
-Fall Out Boy


seaside out there.

city skyline.



views outside the Cathederal.



sunset.


"..and all the streetlights shine like they were stars."
-Boys Like Girls

16th June.


lamposts; i like them.



8.30 am. sun's pretty bright. DU-UH.

WalterMart.


from behind the jeepney.


pretty in blue.


sidewalks of MOA.


..Paths was right about the guitars. Fricking expensive. There was this Fender/Squire one and it was like, 37 000 pesos. That's be about $1, 200 plus. And I saw this really awesome one, like the guitar Pat Stump used in the 'Take Over The Break's Over' vid, and cost just the same. So we couldn't get one T.T

Mom said those guitars were for like, people who actually make a living out of it. Geez. Ohh well, I suppose I can make do with Philippine made brands, at least their NOT fake or shit.

Forever Hold Your Peace In Pieces. 7:38 PM

The wedding was beautiful. Not like what I see in movies though, you know like, I do this and I do that, they even missed out the ‘Speak now or forever hold your peace’ bit. At least I think so. Kevin said I didn’t pay enough attention. Yeah right. All he did was fidget in the pews of the church (I was sitting next to him) and impatiently wait for the ‘You may kiss the bride’ part. That is SO Kevin-like.

The church they got married in was beautiful too, it looked much like a catherderal really. It was right next to the sea, and there were these huge wooden archways in the walls (it was pretty much open-aired) and all the salty sea air blew in. Refreshing really. Plus it was right next to the Mall of Asia. Which is huge beyond comparison by the way.

After the official wedding thing (it was my first, I’ve never really witnessed an actual wedding. I did once but it was a tiny wedding with not much people and I just happened to be there at that particular time, I didn’t even know who was getting maried), the reception was held in this huge hall thing. The best part was the dinner (finally), since the food was AWESOME. There were beef steaks, potatoes, tempura shrimp and all those.

The second best part was all the toasts and speeches. Karisma’s dad’s speech was really…touching. And her speech is return was even more touching. My mom cried. It was so damn touching, God. I mean come on, it’s a wedding, for heaven’s sake it’s like…wow. A bond forever. You guys get to spend the rest of your life together. FOREVER. Wow. And Kevin, the insensitive prick that he is, couldn’t see anything wow about it. Eh. Boys will boys and Kevin will be Kevin.

Karisma and Czar’s got somethin’ special, I can see that. Their marriage actally means something. Unlike others, whose wedding all ends in…divorce. I mean wow. What a WASTE. That’s what you get for not letting God guide you, ya hear? It’s a little weird for me though…it’s like, wow, she’s married. Already. I mean yeah, she’s 28 and she has the right but it’s kinda wow for me. We used to poke each other to death, okay, I used to poke her to death and we’d fool around at timesm she was so much like a teen and now she’s…married. Oh well, she deserves it (:

My apologies though, no photographs.

So how’s things back home? Do tell.

2:45 AM

Screw that, I’ve got it now. We’re on the way to MOA in a bit and then to K’s wedding. Awesome. Ooo, must remember to buy sampalokk for Aikks. Oh, we're leaving.

Home Nevertheless. Day Four; Photographs. 1:43 AM

WalMart's.

Autumn; our cousin's dog, crossbred shih tzu and lhasa apso (though honestly, I have NO idea what the latter is).


He's bloody hyper and humps on anything that moves, particularly my brother. Ooh, should've left that last one out.


he just WON'T pose.

the dog over at our place, my uncle's.


He's rather shy.

..on the garage walls.

iron wrought gates and powerlines.

under the lampost.


I'm not sure what they're called.


this pup is TOO damn cute for it's own good. Really.


on the sidewalks.

the late four o' clock sun.


neighbor's.

see the moon?


mine (:

powerlines, clouded sky.


ditto.


simply violet.



My cousin's lab, Yuko.


the Cheshire moon.


.. and a Japanese spitz, Yuki.


Philippine skyline?


for some reason, it looks like a heart. The tree, I mean.


as hard it is to believe, that's me. I know right. DUDE. About 8 years ago I guess (I DON'T even look like me).

the ability of a Slinky to kill boredom amazes me. Go Slinky.

Apparently, there isn't much light as much powerlines there are. How convenient.
