It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sunday 30th May 2004! Day one of this trek shall we call it. Hmmm. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure when I will be able to BLOG this so I will just keep each entry dated and BLOG the minute I get a chance. Anyways\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6after a very emotional goodbye at the airport, I boarded the plane puffy eyed and almost inconsolable\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6that moment I kept saying that I hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t reached because I was numb, well let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just say I reached that point at the airport. Blubbering mess I was, I was.<\/p>\n<p>Arghhhh!!! I miss my broadband! Well Kuya\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s broadband. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Tuesday (I think), 1st June 2004. I still haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been able to log on to check my e-mail and BLOG. Not that I have been writing much. My bad! I hope everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s well. <\/p>\n<p>It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been a good few days. After getting picked up at the airport by the whole Arambulo clan, including my cute inaanak (godchild) Gelo. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sooo cute. Anyways, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m drifting off the point\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6like I had one\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6After dinner we headed over to my other Aunt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house in Quezon City where I saw all my Oconer cousins. My Ate Alma and Kuya Lon were also there with my other gorgeous godchild Angel. At, she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s soooo cute! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like looking back at old photos. Lilo! Except she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tall and skinny. <\/p>\n<p>I digress again. Sunday was spent in the Van. Literally. You gotta love the traffic around here. We were stuck in the car for about a total of 5-6 hours. No exaggeration.  At the end we turned back around and headed home. By the time we got home, Gelo, who has been sussing me out since my arrival finally gave in and decided I was a new playmate. So by Sunday night he was following me around. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been playing ever since. <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I spent most of it with Art. We headed for Manila at 4:30am. In sheer hope that we beat the traffic, unfortunately there was yet another accident blocking the roads. So Finally at 7ish we were having breakfast and McDonalds. In nothing less than my GYM clothes. Most of you would remember what that look would entail. Hey! To my defense we were supposed to go from one house to another where I was to resume my sleep. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good thing I actually changed out of my pyjamas. Not that I really cared, I mean like who was going to see me.  After breakfast my cousin Art dropped Ems and I off at hers and Mela\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s condo apartment, where we found Mela fast asleep. After exchanging pleasantries, we both passed out again. Late morning Art came to pick me up. We went to Makati Med to drop stuff off and say hi to Tita Rory and Tita Glo. From there we headed for Alabang Town Centre\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.big big big big mall. We had lunch at Fridays. YUM YUM! Then while Art checked into work for about an hour I went out on a mission to work on Mer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s invite. When that was done Art played hooky for the rest of the day and we watched a movie. We ended up watching \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The day after tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which was alright. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a ride home without a trip to Starbucks and major traffic. It took us more than 2 hours to get home. Which was okay, Art and I had a blast in the car. He made me laugh so hard. <\/p>\n<p>Today we have plans on visiting Duty Free after lunch. From there we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to watch \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcAll my life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 with Aga Mulach! I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll tell you all about it Banans! Hopefully the traffic won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be so bad. Sitting in a car for long periods of time has become somewhat an acquired taste.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here the thought of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going home after this\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is SLOWLY sinking in. I mean WOW. This is where I say my goodbyes. After this trip, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be going to another country, where I know no one. YIKES! However, in saying that, I am still looking forward to it. The adventure it holds. <\/p>\n<p>Oh well. I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it for me for the time being. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s frustrating to be in front of a PC and not be able to surf, or check my e-mail. Regards to all. Take care! Peace out! Nanu nanu! <\/p>\n<p>PS\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Big Hugs and Kisses to my Inaanaks, Miss Cheeky Aleissa and Ashlee Rose! Mwahhhh!!! Ninang misses you!   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all!!! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sunday 30th May 2004! Day one of this trek shall we call it. Hmmm.
