Now where did i stop the last time...

Sunday...
We went to Stakili... a beach resort... Gosh there are millions of beach resorts here! We went in the hired jeepney, which is equivalent to the buses in Singapore, but without the bells and the exit... like a small covered truck... you yell 'stop' or rap on the roof if you wanna get down...
Sunrise is at about 5am so the sun at 9am is so 'cheerful'
Everyone went swimming except me and mama... I can't stand beaches... urgh... i'm always moody whenever I'm at the beach... don't really like sand and water... I guess its cuz i have a strong fire element in me...

Later we had lunch in the restaurant at the resort which was pretty good and then we just went back home for naps... which is all you can do when the weather's so hot...

Monday...
Philippine's independence day... not much fanfare though... just people selling flags... oh, you know, they sell stuff like cigarettes and drinks and snacks on the road just like that... I thought it was dangerous...
Anyway, we went to visit my grandfather's grave... it was my first time... didn't feel like crying but mummy pretty much bawled her eyes out... she misses lolo... Poor kids there look after the cemetary were half naked or really naked, we brought clothes and they could eat the food we brought for offerings after...
Then we went to the Taoist temple and took lots of pictures there... Mama, daddy and lola went and made wishes... we the kids just explored and took photos...
Shopping at SM shopping mall...Gosh, its at least 5 TMs! We ate halo halo and steamed rice... Halo halo is a dessert with coconut, yam, ice cream and the stuff you find in ice kachang la... what else... we went to the department store and looked at shoes... '
So fast... time to go home... cuz the mall closes at 9... it was so hard to get a taxi cuz of bloody traffic police... we had to walk to the jeepney stand to take the jeep and then take a taxi once it was convenient to do so...

Tuesday...
Mummy went to the dentist to fit her dentures... see what poor oral hygiene will do to you... she's had dentures since before i was born i think...Gosh... But we went on to Ayala, another shooping mall and ate at Jollibee's, which is more popular here than McD... they've got a better selection and service...
Woohoo, got a new pair of shoes and clothes...
Went back to the house and took a catnap... then went in the hired jeepney to lilo-an, for a party... its where my mother and her sister got their start in singing.... reunion for them and their bandmates... met lola roca... the mommy of all the singers... dancing and dancing again la...
