Manila





Packed and ready for another trip to Venice, as i rocked up to work, i find my flight changed and im heading to Manila, Philippines. All excited as i hadn’t been there before and to be honest i was only in Venice days earlier, so ready to start a new adventure!


I experienced my first day in Monsoonal weather, and damn the sky can rain! I have never seen so much heavy rain let alone the amount of water, besides looking at the ocean – duh!
The people are so beautiful in the Philippines, tiny frames with big glowing smiles. I think they are such beautiful people, with their perfect little features and gorgeous black hair! It was amusing for myself, as i admired their beauty when they were equally amazed at my eyes, as they were not used to seeing blue eyes...

Due to the weather, my time in Manila was experienced inside and let me tell u, they love their shopping in Manila, and cheap dvd’s, and not the burnt crappy ones either! – I was stoked as i added a few to my collection – like one of my fav’s – Domino of course!

I bought a few more neck scarfs which brings me to an interesting point! Are u aware that the world experienced a fashion of big neck scarfs some countries even 3 yrs ago? Well oz missed this one, or it just never took off. So 3 yrs behind, i am getting into the so called new look in my eyes, but outdated in other places i go! Oh well, its all about the strut!!!

On the Friday night most of the crew went clubbing, yep fun times and much tequila in one of the biggest clubs in Manila called the Embassy! Had the best night but the dj, hmmm it was one of those ones whom do an awesome work-up then just leave u hanging!!! What the???

Ok this is the foul part! On the flight home half way through the service BAM! Straight to the lav, with a glamorous dose of food poisoning – damn prawns! I have never been so ill, so quickly it was horrible! I then spent the next 7 hrs in the flight deck! I even managed to power chuck in the flight deck – missed the captain thank-god, but how incredibly embarrassing! But if that would ever happen to anyone, it would defiantly be me! There we go again, too much information!!! But by the time i got home i was even worse... i thought i was dying and all i wanted was my Mum!

Favourite Purchase:

New handbag, not girly at all, plastic bright blue, with one side covered in a brick style pattern in blue, purple, green and white. Different i know, but i think it will look funky, all u need is the sunnies and lip gloss remember – and ur ready to go!

Favourite Event:

Finally lying in my own bed, after the horrific flight home! I want my Mum she says again, and some lemonade!

Ahhh chooky ... guess we didn't emphasise this part of travel as much as we should have. Well, you know now. Maybe a good addition to your handbag would be 2 corks (hehehehehe) .... sorry .... (hehehehehe) .... I mean it this time :-). You'll get over it, and be a bit wiser too. Maybe you and the Gabster can share stories .... I understand she was trying to emulate your performance last week.
