in the Philippines for 17 hours and we've had about 7 meals
so this is what the philippines is like. going around and around and visiting people, and eating, and shopping, and resting, and eating, and resting, and sitting in traffic where it is insanely anxiety provoking. so far so good. we're out our really nice hotel and right now clyde is passed out in his room that he shares with j, neneng and julena are in their room perhaps sleeping, andy, ronald, and j are at TGI Fridays drinking and i'm here in our hotel lobby blogging. our hotel has wireless internet connection and it's fabulous. it's 10:30pm local time, but it's actually 6:30am. i think i'm adjusting fine to the time change, but j and clyde keep thinking about what time it is in the states and whether or not they would be typically sleeping. the flight was long as all hell and i sat next to j who kept whipping out his chili that he had bought at LAX and would only eat 2 bites then save the chili for later.
tomorrow is julena's birthday party at mcdonald's. it will be the 31st here, so i'm not sure what we're doing for new year's eve. i'm sure it will be low-key except for the canon that my cousin plans on firing off. yes, a canon.
we've already walked thru the mall. we had one mission and that was to change some of our dollars into pesos, so we didn't get to do any shopping. but boy, i saw what was in store for me and i'm EXCITED. i could've peed in my pants it was so fabulous. i can't wait to actually start the shopping. my cousin said to hold off from buying too much here in manila because we're going to go to a lot of places and see what kind of deals we can get there and if we still can't find something, we'll just buy it in manila before we leave to go back home.
the heat and humidity are pretty bad, but i know it could be a lot worse. my cousin actually says that it should be cooler than this in December, so lucky us. but it's trippy that people are wearing long sleeves and sweatshirts.
i'm in the hotel lobby on my laptop. i'm gonna go back to my room, but i hope andy and them come back soon so i don't have to stay in my room by myself for very long. that always weirds me out a little. we have free porn in our room, but that won't be very entertaining for me. i hope there's a good movie on HBO.
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! sorry i couldn't be there to throw my usual new years shindig, but i'm sure everyone will have fun nonetheless.
2006 HERE WE COME!!!
