Greek & Stuff

CA -- I was checking out the farmers' market near our place. I suddenly thought of Ditas when I saw this goodlooking Greek guy (at least he looked like one.. and besides, he was selling olives and stuff). Here's how the conversation went:

Me: "Ditas!"
Ditas: "Ano? San ka?"
Me:"Farmers' Market. Alam mo ba yon?"
Ditas: "Ako sa Hopkins, o ano?"
Me: "Sosyal!"

The rest of the conversation was not much because apparently, several eyes were on her. Probably because she's new there, or perhaps as I usually tell her, "nai-insecure kasi ang ganda mo daw," as we both laugh. I wonder how she spent her birthday. Did you get the flowers??

My family and I were back home last month but we didn't stay that long. But it was enough, at least for me, to catch up with my family, relax a bit and go to a few places I haven't been to. I went to Cav, I definitely enjoyed wine- tasting but I think I appreciated it more because I was in good company. We went to Anvaya Cove and it's definitely a place I will look forward to visiting when I get back. I'll post pictures soon.

hot fun in the summertime

Bali, INDONESIA-- or memories of bali, indonesia. it's almost noon here in manila and i'm home on a thursday. everyone is still in pajamas. as the only catholic nation in asia we're observing holy week (my mom is fasting from texting and making calls).

i know justine/ketuta was down with something last week (not a resurfacing inca virus, i hope) and she hasn’t seen any of the photos from my camera(s). here’s a little reminder of how, just a month ago, we were baking under the sun in our little piece of heaven called villa jerami.

the photo’s actually from another resort but you get the (pun pun pun) picture. great times filled with tasty nasi goreng, lovely museums, tipsy tourists singing ‘sex on fire’ with the local band, and yummy bintan beer and mojitos (bubbly for the birthday girl). plus a costa rican dude who invited himself to our all-girls party at ku de ta (to quote nimal, “there has been a security breach!”). note that it was a group of 15 girls with (mostly) big personalities. ballsy guy.
