Oh, Manila.

Wow. I haven't blogged for more than a month now. I haven't blogged since I got back here in Manila. I guess I still have jet-lag. Well, not the actual jet-lag, which I had for about a week.. rather I'm basically still in denial that I'm back. Ugh. To help me get back on my feet, I decided to do this entry and list down what I missed when I was away. I will add items as I go along the way, until maybe when I have finally settled and decided to post another uninteresting blog entry. Lol.

Anyhoo.. I have good news though. I deleted my previous entry about my book to give way to this announcement: MY BOOK IS FINALLY GOING TO BE PUBLISHED THIS SUMMER!!! WOOHOO!!! I hope this is for real and will be on schedule. I will not say much info about it until its sure na sure na sure na.

Going back to the list of things I missed when I was away:

1) JUNK FOOD!!! I swear our junk food is way better and junkier than them Doritos and Lay's. I'm talking about Tortillos and Clover chips. Love it! I've been eating them since I got here.

2) Anilao with friends and beach trips in general. Summer's near and I can't wait to go to the beach. Can't wait for Anilao too, in two weeks! Beaches in Cali are just not the same.

3) Cheap haircuts, manicure and pedicure. To get a really nice haircut in the States, you gotta spend at least $80. Wow. And to get the ordinary manicure/pedicure, you gotta spend around $30-40. W-O-W. Not to mention the 15-20% tip.

Anything else?

I agree on all three things on your list! Junk food in Manila is way better!

I miss going to the beach... huhuhu. I guess that's what I miss the most.

Oh, and going to the salon and getting EVERYTHING done for under $70. The salon is always one of my first stops when I'm in Manila.

I miss the food and company of friends too.
