    Mod Mr Pete gets ready to go back in Country !

    Its that time of year, here we go here we go here we go back to Bataan, or is it Bacolod City !"


    Well folks I guess its that time of year, nearing the end of yet another summer term in the Essex area, the kids will be off in 2 weeks time, 11 days and a wake up, and its off on a big giant bird that will take us back to the land of smiles, sexy young babae, (p.s. the girls should be more mahal now the pound has dropped over last 6 months), sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cannot pay.....hindi ako kabayad, wala akong qwuarta hehehehehe

    But seriously, if you can be, comon guys support me here, what will this year be like, the ususal bullilit box with 50 tonnes of Cadburys chocolates has already gone ahead by snail ship cargo, and all our purchases for the garden and house, we have sent enough Pasalubong to sink a ship.

    What else can I think in the last 2 weeks, before we make this annual pilgrimage to the Mecca of the Philippines.

    What have I forgot now, Doctors visit to make sure jabs are up to date, and extra meds for the 4 weeks I am there, dentist treatment, oh yes already had the dreaded root canal, new clothes, shorts, and trainers, for the hot weather, plenty of spends, been saving for quite a while, well the list is endless.

    Its only a few days to go and a wake up, and then its toddling off down to Heathrow for the long 12 hours to Hong Kong, I wonder if Cebu Pacific air will do their usual and charge us for excess baggage again, I wonder if the Manila taxi driver will try and sing his sob story about how things are, and request an extra 100 pesos for taking us downtown to the Shangrila, but then again, who cares about 100 pesos when you are hot and tired, and just want a shower and a dressed crab dinner in the mall.

    Yes its all coming back to me now, have I forgotten just how hot it is when one arrives at NAIA 3. no matter how many times, and this must be number 15 !!

    its damn hot, real hot, hot hot hot, I can tell you man its hot hot hot.

    Pilipinas here we come, for better for worse, we are off once more, and its only a few days to go....

    I sure am, but then again depends on what you consider rich, money has no interest for me, never has and never will, I feel rich when I found out I lost over a stone at weight watchers, I felt rich when my BP shot down from 195/90 to 145/60, these kinds of things make me so happy.

    Rich, is to have a woman who adores you, and never stops telling you they love you....thats rich...di ba ?

    true very true, although my girl does tell me, I marry for love yes that is true, but also, I marry to be taken care of, which girl does not want to be taken care of, this is ok, but for better for worse aaaaahay ! I did not come to UK for worse, well worse is ok, but not for me....just ensure its better hubby !

    Hence we British man are reminded that marriage vows are sacred, that is for better or for worse, but just a friendly shot across the bows that we must ensure its for the better...or there will be lots of

    AAAAAAAHAY !

    have a great break Pete,

    we are just trying to decide if we should go to the USA to see friends and pacquios mayweather fight some time early next year or go home to our place in Palawan with a week in Hong Kong with old friends there. Every time I hear of some couple heading back to the Phils I want to get on the next plane and go diving, eat mangos, drink San Miguel and chilled Buko.
    Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy

    if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!

    You cannot imagine how much I envy you at the moment.

    I want to take Jet for a holiday back to Cebu to visit her family, but again this year it is a no-no...

    We will have to make do with a trip to Lampton Park instead...

    Maybe next year.

    We wish you both a safe and enjoyable trip.
