Tried another ATM machine and hey presto! Cash came out The wonders of modern technology!

    Seems the BDO bank is the bank that likes to say off..

    Today I am doing something new! Taking a good walk round Valencia!! Travelling here I got a bit of sunburn and the last 2 days I have been chesty and cought a cold! I think it is the heavy dust on these roads? Who knows.. But I am starting to feel better today.. So really the last few days has been spent between the mall and Rizza's family home.

    Getting used to the bucket and pale Almost seems second nature. But being a bit ill has meant I lost my appetite and I decided today to aid in my recovery I was in need of some comfort food! Namely Pizza Plus I am getting tired of Rice

    Those Roosters are clearly Evil and knew I was coming! Evil I tell ya, Evil...

    Well, we will see what this week brings....

    hahaha roosters my husband love it when its start cockering in the morning you gonna use to it if you stay there a bit longer, enjoy evry single moment of your mahal.
    all things are possible!

    Mayoon Guntagg..

    Ahh.. Bukidnon.. Where do I begin?

    So far the mosquitoes are eating me alive so much that my gracious hosts installed a mosquito net to the bed I am sleepig in, to allow me to sleep without providing food every night to the entire local mosquito population..

    We (myself and Rizza) decided to take everyone swimming at a local resort just outside of Valencia called "RR?", which is basically a mini theme park with a few pools for kids and live music. It is really a hotel resort like pontins and from what I could see of the place it would be a great place to take a family. Again, I was the only white person so everyone looked at me with a "huh!!" expression I am so used to now.. So I had a good time and spent the day trying to decipher the random words I recognize when I heard my name amidst the conversation.. All in all a good afternoon.

    I have also noticed what I think is an alien concept here in Valencia. Dog Food! Rizza's grandparents have two dogs, an older dog and a puppy. The puppy seems to be my best friend now as I am the only person who actually treats it to something other than scraps I got funny looks when I tried to feed the pup a fresh slice of ham not yet tainted by flies or half eaten... Seems I was in the wrong?!?! Ahh, well.. A good insight into how food is prioritized here in the Philipinnes.

    Last week in Mindanao this week, then back to Cebu by Saturday morning. I have decided that the Marriot is where I will spend my last few days in the Philippines, hot shower.. No Mosqutoes.. Good Food.. Need to re adjust before I go back to the UK or I might find myself standing in the shower with a bowl in hand... Ok.. Poor joke..

    Hopefully when we get back to Cebu I an get some photo's uploaded...

    So, has she captured your heart now?

    Are you smitten?

    Don't get too bored with rice - it will be a staple in your home when she joins you!

    A tabo appeared in our bathroom yesterday even though we have a shower (don't ask me)!

    Have fun there with your mahal
