Summer 2008 Getaway

Summer it is and it doesn't fail to remind us under the sweltering heat. But you know what that means...time for my getaway!!!!

Didn't go far this year, though, my friends and I sought escape at a nearby beach resort in Batangas. Well it's relatively near from Manila at less than 3 hours of travel...that's if you know where you're going.


We got lost. Not once. Not twice. But thrice!!! How can one get lost thrice? We have no excuse, we just followed a vague map and a, as we realized later, super summarized driving direction. We wasted a lot of time that we reached our destination way after sundown. I can sea the ocean waving like one giant black monster. It was a different story the next day.

I can't post my photos like I did the past years as I believe Flickr has decided to halt its free service. I'm not even sure if my photos are still there. I'll have a check later. If I can I'll post my new ones for my three readers to see :p

I'm Baaaackkkk!!!!

Hopefully I can get back to my regular blogging mode hehe. How long has it been...7 months? I hope the 3 people reading this blog is still around and well :p

So how did the universe do in my absence? One thing that surprised me, though, is I opened Byte Me months later and I have a PR 2 ranking! Geeeezzzzssshhh. Beforeback I update this daily and I stayed at 0. I leave it to rot and I get PR 2???? Yeah, pretty accurate algorithm Google...

Stuff that made my last seven months interesting:

• Went back to Boracay in September. I have to say the island is more likeable during off-peak when posers are off partying somewhere warmer. I found a new endearment for the place.

• Went back to Baguio in January. Boy it was cold. freezing cold! My fingers were numb and moving even a inch can be a pain. Adding to my misery we stayed at this inn with no heater!!! Waaaahhhhh!!!

• Team Manila was favorite to win Amazing Race Asia 2 but in the end they proved...lacking :( But I still love them :p

• John Stewart hosting the Oscars again was a blast.

• Shihab Rattansi left CNN moving on to Al Jazeera English :( My weekend news watching will never be the same.

• There's this scandalous blog going around trashing the Manila high society Gucci Gang. Meaty meaty!

• It's summer again and I'm off to my annual getaway in a week :D

• I'm off to Bangkok the week after. Not for pleasure but pure work. I don't have shopping money :(

• There's a buzz that U2 might be dropping by during their next tour. Weeeeeee!!!!
  

Life remains an uncertainty and my manic depressive alter ego persists. But today is a sunny day :) Who knows what this day brings. Ciao!
