Confessions of a Boracay virgin
From Sommerset Makati I was picked up by my driver tatay ko. I asked him drive me first to Jollibee. Kasi the morning after I got in to Manila I ate breakfast at Jollibee pweee ang fanget ng lasa! So nagbaka-sakali ako this time baka masarap na kako, but sadly fanget pa din ang lasa…
Di ko sya type, di ko nga maubos eh - malamang kung masarap yan, walang pics diba? Hehehe…
NAIA Terminal 3, Angggg ganda. Feel na feel ko na talagang maunlad na maunlad na ang Felepens!
At air conditioned sya! Kaya naman sila Kuya eh prenteng-prente dito!

Ortigas-Makati-Los Banos-Makati-Libis-Makati *Nakakalokang routa!*
Hindi po ako barker!
Last May 21st after checking out at Shangri-La EDSA about 8am [Pucha, di pa man din check-out time noh!] Me and my dad went to our ancestral house to drop off and get some stuff to bring into Los Banos, Laguna [Reunion-reunionan with my dads relathieves...] I really don’t want to go, Curacha here want some rest too! Dahil I made some commitments already on the night of 21st noh! It was set up already 2 months before I left the US. But my fathermother insisted that we go!!! Baka naman daw sabihin ‘were so isnob sa personal.’ Diba nga kasi nag rent sila ng private pool… Puta hindi ko man lang na enjoy! Kasi nga I have to leave early. I was begging them not to make it the 21st of May, I asked them to make it a day before May 21 - eh
On the way to the JAM bus station… *Oh no, Curacha will take public transportation?* I loveeee the smell of Kalentong market hehehe - agang trapik!
It was a good thing that I was far away from Makati (The night before.) Kaya naman Curacha here ay medyo nakapahinga ng konti! I wasn’t really feeling good, dahil pagod-puyat-hang over-over sex at kung ano ano pa…
Lamayan Street. Sta.Ana, Manila. Ano ba lahat ng tao naka motorbike! *Maniningil ng pautang?*
So there we was sitting and hoping there would be no traffic sa skyway na talaga namang pinagkagastahan ng milyones ng mamayang Pilipino lol.
Bawal ang 1-2-3!
It was a bit congested in Alabang, but after that it was okay…
We gots in Los Banos proper in about an hour?
And still have to take another jeepney ride to go to pansol.
And then just before we say ‘Boss sa tabi lang’ the rain poured… Ekkkkkk, baka dumali ako!
There was our ride! Just one tix away, anjan agad!
I just said HI and Bye to my dad relathieves… As in we have to leave asap din no, to avoid traffic.
Actually I told my dad that he can stay there with his relathieves and no need to sama to me sa pagbalik ng Manila. He doesn’t want to. I insist, kasi naman noh baka atakihin sa puso sa sobrang pagod yong matanda lol.
Just after having lunch sa pansol and having a little bit kwento, we went back to Manila. But I am not leaving Laguna without pasalubong for my peeps in the US. So there I was buying and making tawad sa Colettes pasalubong. *Panis na by the time paguwi ko sa Jameirika! Kasi naman I did extend my stay for another week diba? Bitin eh!*
Ohhhhh crabs! But ekkkk I must contain myself, for later in the evening I know that we’ll have seafood.
I was like a bubble head all the way from Laguna back to Manila… Tulog ang lola at walang paki kung mukang bubble head sa loob ng bus. I know right, talagang jontok na jontok ako and somebody wants to sit beside me in Bicutan *Nakakaistorbo! Daming bakanteng upuan, ako pa tatabihan? Leche!* Ako nga ng lumifat HMFTTTT *Suplada mode*
Derechong Sommerset Olympia na ako. (It was alright, masyadong secluded! Heheh, nadidiliman ako - nasisikipan ako sa view sa bintana pucha!)
I was in a little bit rush it was almost 6pm and I still have to pick up her royalness ka-chuvahan sa Valero St. where he was staying… Dahil nga we have to be in Libis at 7pm to meet the royal bloggers for the pers tym. *May kotse ba ako at ako pa pi-pick up sa kanya? Hahaha pinik-up ko sya ng taxi!!!* At sabay kaming pumunta sa Libis dala-dala ang aming mga relief goods na pasalubong. Hahaha…
It was like a 3 hours drive from Makati Ave to Valero St. in Makati too mind y’all - all the way to Libis syet ang traffic and whenever I looked at our cabs meter
eh kinakabahan ako!!! *Naloloka ako kaka-convert kung magkano yon sa Dinars lol* Puta kada at kambyo ata ni manong eh nadadagagan ang babayaran namin lol… And you know I am running out of peso let alone Dinars! Binigyan pa namin ng tipanyang 150php ang mama dahil sobrang traffic tapos malalaman namin na from Makati to Libis kahit gaano ka-traffic eh mga 150php lang the most na babayadan mo! Puta ka manong napaka mandurugas mong hudas ka! Ang tanda-tanda mo na nadudugas ka pang walaghiya ka!
Pinas adventure (Part 3)
Hays sighs… Sorry to update after a week! *Your Ate is busy! Hardly working, este working hard “daw”*
While I was checked in Dusit Thani (I never enjoyed my 5 star accommodation, not their not so 5 star! But I was always out GrrrrRRrrrrRR!!!) my ride picked me up around 11pm para daw mag Malate, saan? Sa Library! *Pootah di pa man din nagiinit ang bangkay sa hotel, ayan may lakad na.* Wala talagang pahinga si Curacha while summering in Pinas!
I was picked up at the lobby and as soon as I sat my brother asked me… O asan na ang back pack mo? Tangina! Hahahaha, kasi nga diba kahit saan pumunta lola eh nakasukbit ang back pack sa likod ko. Eh yon ang brief sa akin ni Doring - wag kang tatanga-tanga, bantayan mo lagi mga gamit mo! Kaya naman ako, ayun laging yakap ang bag ko. Hehehehe…
So there we was, at The Library!
It’s not your usual library, I tell yah! This library are full of trannies and the like hahaha! It is indeed the nosiest library I have been to!!!
It is a comedy bar/restaurant and karaoke in one. O diba?
Pinas adventure (Part 2)
I stayed at Intercontinental Hotel and in Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City during my first 4 days in Pinas. It was all good! Walang ifis at daga hehehe… Both Intercon and Dusit hotels have great location in the crowded Makati business area. (Points of interest: Greenbelt, Ayala, Glorietta — etc…)
Both hotels have shower in a tub with hot water running 24/7 *Footah, kalokohan naman siguro kung wala no?* granite countertop and was well stocked with clean towels and bath necessities.
Intercon and Dusit has almost the same features in my hotel room, A flat screen TV, WI-FI access for a minimal fee, a mini-bar *Whoa! This I likey-likey!* and a safe.
My room in both hotels was indeed very clean and just sufficiently large for 2 people. There were no noise. I slept quite well during my jetlag/lasenga moments!
Compliments of the hotel? Ano kayang hotel? Hmmmm… Bribe?
Walang araw na hindi ako lasing sa Manila…
Ako na nga nasuko! *Young really started drinking in a very early age! As in early, para bang may nakadikit na akong bote ng beer, pagkapanganak pa lang sa akin lol!*
70 degrees and rising!
Oh my geez, last week for 4 consecutive days we experienced a bit of summer here sa aming lovely mansion chateu de ChuvaChienes downnnn south - yet it’s not even officially spring noh! [Oh well, that is a day or two of having 10 inches of snow!] Ang weather ditech eh napaka unpredictable at talaga namang extremes arg.
Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon at weekend pa ay talagang hindi ko pinalalagpas, so I woke up really early (Hehehe, sa weekend hindi ako mahirap/tamad bumangon. Ewan ko ba!) *Nakatunganga sa pintuan ni ChuvaChienes* Inaantay ko syang magising para ayain maglakwatsa, sus sa ganda ng panahon noh?!@$%# Sayang ang araw, minsan lang ang ganyan kainit. *Alam nyo naman lola nyo, sabik na sabik na magsuot ng shorty-shorts no!*
Rocky steps
I am standing in the front steps of Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. (The steps is also known as the “Rocky steps” it’s where the movie Rocky was filmed.)
It overlooks - the City Hall, Comcast building (The tallest building in Philadelphia.) Benjamin Franklin Parkway (Street that displays flags of different countries every.) and the Logan Square
Keep the FAITH!
Wat Mongkoltepmunee (pronounced as Mong-kon-TAPE-mu-nee)
The only Thai shrine in the United States built as a near-replica of the well-known Wat Benjamabophit in Bangkok, Thailand
This Thai Temple in the heart of bustling Bensalem, PA — yards away from the traffic backups, gas stations, grocery stores, Applebee’s and Walgreen’s on Street Road.
Wat Mongkoltepmunee was named for the late Phra Mongkhon Thepmuni, a famous abbot who headed Wat Paknam, an ancient temple in Thailand.
Rodin
The Rodin Museum was the gift of movie theater magnate Jules Mastbaum (American, 1872–1926) to the city of Philadelphia. Mastbaum began collecting works by Rodin in 1923 with the intent of founding a museum to enrich the lives of his fellow citizens.
Just three years later, he had assembled the largest collection of Rodin’s works outside Paris, including bronze castings, plaster studies, drawings, prints, letters, and books. In 1926, Mastbaum commissioned French architects Paul Cret and Jacques Gréber to design the Museum building and gardens. Unfortunately, the collector did not live to see his dream realized, but his widow honored his commitment to the city, and the Museum was inaugurated on November 29, 1929.
The Rodin Museum located in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - is the largest that contains collection of sculptor Auguste Rodin’s works outside of Paris.
The Gates of Hell - it depicts a scene from “The Inferno” Hmmm, Obviously! Lols… See Paolo? Who tries to reach Francesca, who seems to be slipping away…
More then meets the EYE!
This is from the Nathan Sawaya collection… Truly it’s a the art of the brick!
If you look at this image from afar, it’ll look like this…
Brick Freak: Nathan Sawaya
Most artists use glass, paint, charcoal. Some uses wood and metal.
But for Nathan Sawaya.
He chooses his medium to be LEGO.
