giddy

Bali, INDONESIA -- "girls gone wild: bali edition" is now on after months of email, bookings and such. jan, justine, claire and i are now waiting for the ten other girls joining us at our villa. ten girls! and yes, we're staying at a v-i-l-l-a. no couchsurfing, no backpacking, hardly any public transport-taking. jan and i are unaccustomed to all the luxury and perks of hanging with the high-rolling singapore girls. it's a nice change.

last night we went on a mission to see the seediest place we could find. the winner: the bounty discotheque. cage dancing,anyone?

more on justine's bali birthday blowout next time. happy birthday, ketuta!

bem-vinda!


Manila, PH -- welcome to las islas filipinas! especially to all the superstar OFWs (overseas filipino workers). jushtine was here for christmas and new year and jeetas was here just last week. my favorite commies, jordan and lemon, spent christmas day with us in alabang.

a few highlights:


1) dolphin-watching in bohol


2) indie film-watching in makati


3) ziplining in tagaytay, with taal volcano in the background (with mouths wide open for the cameras)


4) beer-swigging at the saguijo parking lot with ditas' long-lost frat brothers


5) stopping over in cebu just to take the supercat ferry to tagbilaran city (the alvin and the chipmunks movie wasn't so bad)


pseudobackpacking fun!



joy, jan and i will see you here in the islands soon…
