stoopid air tickets again..

ok, i'm taking jetstar asia back to singapore, on the 12th.. which means i'm skipping the first 4 days of school..

postponed my tiger airways tickets till infinite, then maybe i will go thailand for a short holiday.. bleahz.. i hate tiger airways for not stating that Clark IS NOT in manila.. damn..

arghh.. but anyway i'm now in the bacolod robinsons shopping centre using the internet in the internet cafe (with no food allowed).. finally i can use MSN to chat for a short while..

oh man.. i only have a few minutes left.. got to go!

stoopid air tickets..

arghh.. think i'm gonna have a big problem here.. oh no..

i wanted to extend my stay here, because tricia wanted me to visit some of the schools here, so i was actually planning to extend till maybe 7 january.. BUT THEN... ... tiger airways doesn't have the flight on that day.. the earliest available flight is actually on the 12th.. *eyes popping out* oh man.. actually i don't really mind, but school starts on the 9th.. you know i always have perfect attendence.. bleah..

and then they told me that Clark, where tiger airways depart from philippines, is not in manila.. what the hell?!? NOT IN MANILA?? then why did they put manila in the destination in the first place?? my god.. and it's gonna be a 4-hour bus ride from manila to clark.. damn..

how how how how how?!?!?!

ok, but anyway, christmas was just over, but here christmas doesn't end.. parties still going on, and people make merry.. and so i was again eating and eating and eating, drinking and drinking and drinking.. ok, not drinking to the extent that i got drunk.. i was still awake and conscious of what was going on..

oh.. and i fired a real gun! haha.. can you believe it? a real gun with real bullets!! haha.. of course i wasn't trying to kill someone or some chickens (to eliminate bird flu).. i just shot a few times at the door in the backyard of the mondia's house.. carloy (mr mondia) was asking, "do you really want to fire a REAL gun?" and i was like.. yeah (nodding my head).. hahah.. and then i went to see all the titos (uncles) playing war games with their toy guns (that cost a few thousand singapore dollars) filled with ceramic pellets.. and of course i played with these toy guns too.. hahah.. maybe more about the war games when i come back..

arghh.. back to troubling over the air tickets again.. damn.. now i start to hate tiger airways..

hello there!

ello there again! =) i'm in tricia's office again using the internet.. hahah.. they are going to have a christmas party later, so i'm here again as their guest.. haha..

update update.. hahha.. 2 days ago (tuesday) i travelled south down the island of Negros, to Negros Oriental, to Dumaguete City.. the journey took us (me, tricia, remia, bong and nonoy) about 4 hours.. i woke up at 5am u know.. travelled past alot of cities and mucipalities.. hahah.. yup.. we stayed at this Santa Monica Resort near the beach Makati.. and yeah, i went swimming... in the pool in the resort.. hahah.. of course we went around the heart of the city.. erm.. not a very good experience, because the traffic there was horrible.. so many tricycles (that look different from those in bago) and cars and people.. there was even traffic police to control the jam.. -_-

dinner by the coast (not the beach..) was a different experience.. =)

yup.. so that was my trip to Dumaguete City.. haha.. so now i can tell the rest of the group, i have been to other parts of Philippines, other than Bago City, Bacolod and Cebu.. wahhaha..

oh oh.. about the computers in the Bago City College.. i went there on monday, but the college was almost empty because it's now the school vacation, only Dr Ramos there waiting for my arrival.. and the computers were no longer in that room, they were shifted to another classroom somewhere last week of november, which is air-conditioned.. so Dr Ramos showed me the way, and when i entered the room, i got a shock..

bigger space, with... ... ...

new computer chairs and tables!!!

wahh.. isn't that good news? =) haha.. Dr Ramos told me that they still hold regular workshops (once a month) for the elementary school kids, and other these times, the room would be used by their own college students for their learning purposes.. make full use of the the computers.. =)

and i went to have a peek at the TLDC after visiting the college.. almost empty too, with tables and chairs in the dining room gone, beds gone too.. but there still remained a star that we bought during last christmas for the decoration.. hahah.. oh oh oh.. and the kitchen.. disappeared!!! hahah.. it was shifted to the area near the swimming complex.. haha.. so it really looked kinda empty behind the house..

oh man.. i miss the pavillion.. *sigh*

but TLDC has a new extension building, on the right of the TLDC development centre.. the Women and Children Crisis Centre.. =)

oh.. and i ate a whole lot of raw oysters yesterday for lunch.. and they were laughing at me, as if i've never seen so many oysters before.. haha..

and now the entire office know me.. hahah.. oh.. i finally get to see joseph!! i think he looks more handsome now.. wahaha.. with dyed hair and tanned skin.. woohoo~

ok, that's all for now i guess.. Ho Ho Ho~ Merry Christmas! =)

will be visiting the bago city college after lunch, to look at how the computers are doing.. but tricia told me that they are doing well, and they have workshops for the kids once every month.. glad to hear that..

christmas mood..

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

this may ring a tune to some (you guys know who you are =D) but this song is exceptionally special to me.. it brings back wonderful memories of us celebrating christmas in bago city last year..

listening to christmas songs right now.. i really don't know why i bought the christmas cds, subconciously i want to listen to christmas songs.. maybe somehow it will let me feel like i'm back in bago celebrating christmas with a bunch of wonderful friends..

sorry tricia and friends, for letting you guys worry about me.. rest assure that i will try my best to make my way back.. =) in such a way that i don't upset anyone of course.. =)

thanks to people who have been praying for me (i hope).. huijie, junbing, huiyan etc.. hugs to you people.. =)

back to me and my christmas songs..
