Im gonna keep this update brief, i'ce finally found some time to do this as i have about an hour and a half to kill, When Anna & I arrive Philippines weather was jus crap, it was cloudy, and jus started to piss down as soon as we went out! We arrived @ Clarke Airport in Pampanga.. secretly wanting my family to greet me but i knew it wernt gonna happen.. we boarded a bus that took us straight to SM Mega Mall in Metro Manila our journey lasted only 2 hours, the whole family was in that massive shopping mall.. it took us a whole hour to find each other! I was not impressed!
After William finding me, we met the rest of the clan in Jolibee, ewww
..
! Really who likes Jolibee? Anyways, After not catching any sleep the night before as we had to leave for the Airport at some ridiculous time in the morning, mum had decided that her shopping was not finished yet, after doing the spoilt-brat-im-bloody-tired-been-travelling-all day-tantram in the middle of the shopping mall, mum still carried on shopping! hehe! After about half an hour waitin on the shop floor layin on one of the leather sofa, mum came back and alas we left for Bulacan.I cant remember too much of what happened after we arrived, but i still and always will remember when William showed me the welcome home banner produced by our family in Phils, OH-MY-GOSH!! They couldve got a better picture of me for crying out loud!
The next day we went to visit the Ammen residence in Bulacan, what can i say.. uncle Allan got drunk and gave Anna and I the famous speeches, one of them titled "This is Pilipines" (innit Jen).. He introduced me to one of Jens friends, Popeye where he poured out too many glasses of Gin & pineapple juice, i thought not to waste such tasty drink and drank one of the glasses to empty it, but he kept filling them both up.. didnt have the heart to tell him.. HEEEELLLLOOOO... STOP IT.. IM GETTING PISSED NOW!
Sorry, kinda ran outta time again.
Mmmmm..
. need to get ready to catch our train to Singapore.. to be continued..Anna and I left Bulacan with my mum and brother on the wednesday, we checked into and guesthouse in Malate (Friendlys Guesthouse) the place was owned by a gay fili dude (Benji) that bleached or even stripped his skin to make him whiter! Vanity i tell ya! But nether-the-less he was cool. We met a few interesting people who stayed at the guesthouse, a long staying guest an arogant basterd actually, his name was Glen.. we got on well with him in the beginning, he told Anna & I interesting stories about his travelling days etc until we all went out around Malate and decided from then on he couldnt handle his liquer and jus didnt know when to shut the fuk up, from then on i decided to steer clear from him otherwise i knock him out! Another guy we met at the hostel was Lumar, (fili dude) i was yaking away to Benji and Lumer noticed by British accent, we asked where i was from.. cut a long story short it turns out that hes the brother of Mark's (my cuz) wife (mianne).. Small world huh! Another dude (cant remember his name.. i'l ask Anna in the morning) Austrian dude, had a fili girlfriend living with him in his room, funny story bout him, he told every1 (but me and his girl of course) that he liked me! So embrassing, I had Benji giggling at me! But funny thing is, is that apparently his chic liked another Austrian dude in the hostel.. i dont get it! If they dont fancy each other.. y the hell are they together!? Anyways, first time we met him.. he was smoking some wacky baccy outside our room (as theres a communal balcony) he didnt see us at first, but after Anna staring at him for a good 5mins he clocked and all i could do was laugh very loudly! Anna also thought to inform me that there were times when my stalker would come looking for me, come by our window etc! hehe!
The night that we arrived Me, Anna, William, my cousins - Vaneza, Argie and her hubby Sandy went out in Malate, we found a club Arkadia with live bands performing

! The first band (had a serious idiot in the band) was ok, but the other band performing K24/7 OH-MY-GOSH, were really good.. fell in love with them instantly.. Went home with such adrenaline and i declared to Anna that i wana be there groupy! haha!The next day, Anna & I forced ourselves to get up, went went with my mum, willy and aunty nene to Divisora (some massive and stinky market place) While mama shopped, us 3 kids went exploring, William wanted a T-shirt and made it a mission for Anna & I to find! Funny story to say about William is that everywhere he goes he has his rucksack and there only ONE item that in this large rucksack... BOG ROLL! Anna & I couldnt stop pissing ourselves laughing! We eventually saw a t-shirt that sed "Ipood" with a pic of a guy sitting on the toilet and headphones in his ears..! Ha!
