N,please dont forget group pasalubong when your coming back to the UK,remember the old adage,its better to give than receive
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Yeah it's a really subtle difference, I was in a Tapas bar in Liverpool with my sister when she came down from Scotland to visit the other month and they served Gambas al Ajillo (it is a Spanish dish after all) but it was just not the same.You're welcome sis

With only 7 days to go the butterflies in the tummy are giving me a rollercoaster ride of their own (Or maybe that was the huuuuuuge chinese buffet lunch I had today with Tita Hara - arah)..
But today I think I made a wise choice and popped by the Natwest and handed over £700 and ordered travel money for the Philippines! I got it at 72.6836 PHP to the £
But, with a loss of sterling I have 55,500 pesos and over a fiver change in the bank to buy me a burger on my return to the UK..
Didn't quite manage to save as much as I had planned, but it only has to last 16 days and then I get paid again. So, I should do fine
Here's to the next 148 hours till I board my flight

Good luck hehe don't get too excited hahaha. Oh man I'd like to go home now too!!
Hey Northerner!...not long to go now.
Really, don't worry, you'll be fine...It's always stressful a few days before you go, as there are things to sort out...You're always thinking, have I got this, have I remembered that?
Everything falls into place, the day you leave. Just close the door & go!
You're going on a great adventure...Life is for living!...There is nothing like that first trip...I'm still out here, on "active service", got just under 2 weeks left to go, of my 2 months stay.
Seriously though, I'm sure you'll both have a GRRREAT!!! time...Just be prepared for the heat...It's too mainit (hot)...innit.
P.S. I hope you like rice.
It looks like spider crabs here Tawi.Not CRABS

Yep, I certainly agree with Somebody.
Few words of advice: Don't let them know that you have so much money with you as they (friends, family & others) will expect you to pay everything. Just be vigilant at all times.
Yeah dont set the bar to high many have gone out there acted Johny the rich metizo and wondered why people think they are made of money

Very true, I guess, it's colonial mentality thing. When Filipinos see white people they assume that they are all rich. Sad though.
