BUT she has to take another bus to clark airport sejauh 2 jam perjalanan...matai. klu nek bus is only RM30 or 350peso but the Victory Liner bus only stops at Dau which is located 20 minutes from Clark Airport...nah mcm tu boss? So advised Lyn to take the taxi which will arrive straight in Clark but will cost her about RM150 (2000pesos)...woah pa bulih buat nek ja lah lyn..



Ok selesai psl Lyn...so left only me, dik, 4d n clever going to Baguio..kami pula sambung nek bus Victory Liner sejauh 6 jam ya tuan2 dan puan2..kerja d dlm bus adalah tidur smpi mata pun jadi mata lembu (tidur mata lembu), tingu dvd ckit2, becerita, ketawa2, bekhayal, tidur lagi.. kira sgt relax dan sihat la.. tp punyalah lapar dan haus...baru teda beli air dan hanya akan stop dalam jam yg ke-4..adoii..so after 4 hours kami berenti di sebuah tmpt yg kira orait dan sgt beli air dan mknan...nah tebeli aku belacan pilipin...kena alergic ahh gatal2 bdn ini..mula2 ingatkan sbb te-sting jellyfish masa mandi di puerto...jadi mula2 sa kasi biar seja kegatalan ini...aiiii.

Very convenient. After dinner, we didn't do much just back to the mansion and TV a little bit then rest zzzz......

3rd Day

sa ngantuk sudah ba ni tp mcm best pula mo recapture the memories...so continue writing la. Ok sleep at 4am last nite...but still bangun awal iaitu jam 7am..mcm starring la kan, sentiasa manang. Manila zoo was our first destination today...just to kill the time until 12pm which were the time to meet with amor and ichu in gil puyat station. We're heading to puerto galera today. Basically this is what you have to do to reach puerto from manila..see if i still remember the route..

In Manila - go to Gil Puyat LRT station to take the bus to Batangas. The fare is about RM11 or 147 peso / pax. You can just get on the bus and pay the fare later..

Batangas - the bus will stop in Pier Port where you take the boat to Puerto

Pier Port - RM23 or about 300peso / pax for return boat ticket Pier-Puerto-Pier. Then plus RM4 or 50peso for Environmental Fee and another 80c or 10peso for port tax.

After 1 hour or 1 1/2 hour, we reached Puerto..wow thing! many gorgeous ppl and lots of bars and restaurant...ada juga lynne's restaurant ahh..punyalah..


Nah pa lagi...ada restoran ba c kawan d philippines..

So the 1st mission is to a place to stay...with this many ppl one can only hope. But we are so blessed to find a very fine place to stay, and the nicer thing is it's a fully furnished house with 2 bedrooms, a living room with TV, hi-fi, fridge, 1 bathroom and a kitchen. And the nicest thing is it's only for 1500peso or RM115. Very convenient although it is located quite far from the beach about 15 minutes walk compared to those guesthouse overlooking the beach. Owh 4D and clever are coming today to join us! so 7 of us stayed here.. We only got to the beach at about 9pm.. cos in philippines the party starts at about 10 - 11 pm till morning... so dinner dulu la bos. Kita mo dinner tmpt c lyn tp ada lg tmpt yg lebeh ummpphh..apa la ko lyn tia pandai kasi happening tmpt sendiri... maka selepas 1 1/2 jam acara makan..acara minum lagi bermula..punya men sadap minuman local dia yg dinamakan mindoros ling and rumumbai... basically:

mindoros ling: thanduay rhum + guava jus
rumumbai: thanduay rhum + coklat (jadi taste nya mcm baileys ahhhh)


Yg diangkat tu rumumbai dan yg di ground mindoros ling... ni rumumbai sadap tp kin mabuk brabis ahhh..abis otot2 badanku tidak berfungsi dgn baik slps itu...bsuk pagi byk luka ah kaki sbb tdk brapa stable masa bejln... the fun part was it rained and we were the last one standing on the beach...smua urg sudah berlari masuk pg bars n kami masih duduk2 ah smbl minum..then mandiiiiiiii!! terjun laut lpas tu.. oh man there are so many stories to tell..so many fun parts.. but i leave that for verbal chat later.. oya kamu mo tingu mcm mana rupa balut? nah gmbr..


Balut adalah anak ayam (itik ka?) yg baru mo jadi tp tidak dijadikan dgn merebusnya.. enda kin gali juga ba, rupa dia ja tu yg kin gali. rasa dia mcm daging ayam juga...tp mlm tu sa temkn bhgn paruh jadi keras ahh...lynne mkn part yg lain, dia blang sedap masarap!

Ok time to go home..i think we got home at about 3am and ujan kuat ahh..best mo tidur zzzz.....

2nd Day

Wow wow...punya men siok tidur, and bangun awal juga ah jam 8am gitu. Started the day with bfast at a stall near Koko's nest downstairs. Sa masi lagi rasa ganjil everytime bfast d cni sbb mkn nasi mcm mkn lunch la kan. That was definitely a brunch in early morning. Okay, masa tuk membeli sesuatu tuk kengkawan d sabah...maka pigi la baclaran, dengan menaiki jeepney yg hanya berharga 7.50peso. I think i went to this place for 3 times already...maka acara membeli belah pun bermula. After baclaran, we went to quiapo. I want to bring c adik n lynne pigi tingu tu black nazarene but wow wee punya lah ramai org hari ni. I asked my friend why cos i dont remember seeing this so many ppl like this before. It was friday n every first friday is a quaipo day so there will be a mass...and walla i tell you the crowd is enormous! Anyway, we bought what we wanted, DVDssss hehe.. ok pulang rumah dulu lah, rehat2 dulu. 5.00pm.

Tonite, had dinner with Amor and Ichu at Koko's Nest..am so glad to see them again. Called Grace in Oman so that she can talk with amor and ichu..and she is so happy too of being able to speak to them.. so we chatted about puerto galera, one of the famous beaches in philippines. We are going there tmrw!! yeah! So after dinner, we had a walk around malate area and headed home cos i'm pretty tired...

So i thought i wanted to sleep early tonite to be ready for tmrw's trip to puerto. But, it was tempting to bring dik and lyn to any bars in malate...lyn was interested in the mr. lady bar... and whoaaa! it was really interesting performance and ppl they have there... i really enjoyed the dance and comedy performances..there was one performance by Dyna, it was really thick bold
performance with a strong message saying 'i am what i am and to hell with everybody else'... really solid. I like it. We also met with Nina, Annie, Lian (lovely woman) and not forgetting Ms. Jullia... yes how can anyone forget Jullia..the gorgeous one. You can never tell that she was a he before.. these women are all talented, i like to hang out and talk to them. They will entertain you with their talents and their life story but it doesnt come cheap, you have to pay to sit with them. I dont mind. At one angle, i admire them for they have the balls (well) to live their dreams and I wont argue with them in terms of religion. Anyway we had a great nite, we were entertained and satisfied... ai mcm lain...


From left, Jullia, at the back is Misha, red dress is Nina, then Dyna, Lian..then my friends Lyn n Mandy whom i called dik...

Manila 2008

1st May - 1st Day - wow wow thing! today is the big day for manila again, i am sooooo excited. I love manila so much...why? because i love san mig light, the acoustic bands and it's the country where my heart lies.. Anyway, this time i'm travelling with 4d, lyn and mandy. Tp punyalah, our flight was delayed from 2.20 pigi 4.20pm..bangaaass. Jaddey sempat lagi pigi mkn sasau saunyuk fan d tg. aru nehh...

ok it's 620pm, sampai di clark airport.owhhh a new look of the airport, lebih cerah interiornya..dulu gelap mcm haunted mansion. seperti besa, naik philtranco bus to manila, the bus normally takes about 2-3 hours to reach manila depending on the traffic. You can either stop in sm megamall or pasay philtranco bus station in pasay city. 4d stopped in megamall to meet with his friend meanwhile the 3 of us stopped in pasay city. Since we are staying in malate, so it's closer from pasay. Sampai2 seja, ada suda urang meng-offer tuk panggil taxi tuk kami ahh.. he did that in order to get some tips on the effort. It's common in manila, normally the public will not give cause who asks for it?? but those who wants to give, 5 or 10 pesos is good enough..it's about 40c to 80c. Errr... we didnt give him any..

20 minutes later, we arrived in malate...mmmm...i like it! it's 10pm so the area is just about to start pumping. Mcm besa juga, kami tinggal di Friendly's guesthouse jua...sbb convenient, cheaper and it's in the heart of malate. For a big room good for 4 persons, it's only about 1500pesos = RM115. Check the guesthouse at www.friendlysguesthouse.com, you can see the interior, the view n of course the room rate. Some people say, malate is not all it takes in manila, i know that. But i like to stay in a convenient place where food,drinks, banks, entertainment, transportation etc are closer...so guys u might want to consider malate. It's good for backpackers! It's close to Robinson's Mall too...

Ok telah lapar..maka turun jalan2 ke bawah dan lepak for dinner in one of the bars.. they played MYMP songs!! dan mlm ni telah encounter ramai jenis orang yg melakukan byk jenis biznes spt membuat tatu henna, which i got 4 myself an eagle and grace's name on my forearm. Ada jua yg menjual ular yg baru ditangkap, sgt panjang ular itu..mlm ini jua ramai dwarfs yg berjalan2 sambil meminta duit dr public, menjual sigup dan menjual gula2...tidak ketinggalan juga seorang perempuan yg bersuara nyaring ala2 kucing ya...tekejut beruk hehe..

nah..san mig light la ni tau.. sedap! we stayed til 2am and we headed back to our room...

zzzz...
