im in philippines now :):)

[\\\\ToNy////]

this was my first ever flight but i loved it, but wish i had a window seat and my knees and legs ache,
Im here with a filipina friend that i used to work with and his wife, ive been chatting to his sister online for over a year and in person she is so sweet, i lover her very much,
Im in a place called nueva ecija,this place is amazeing,the buildings the cars the people and the animals,
Buts vary warm here 32 this week but i know it was 38c last week,i know i will strugle at 38c, even in my room with the aircon on at night its 28c, took my thermometer into the main livingroom where theres no aircon 33c,just some fans to move the hat air about,
They are feeding me all the time until a cant eat no more, just chewing and chewing the meat and strugling to swalow anymore hehe but that good because im so skinny, im trying to drink as much as i can,
Well i hope to stay here for 1 month if i can get a visa for after 21days, not sure what i need yet though,anyone know what documents ect ill need to get an extension visa?
been in the mall and theres so much cool stuff there, i just buy a smart buddy simcard for 75peso i think it was, and we visited there family on the farm,can be tireing blessing everyone hehe, and they all came to the house im staying at to eat foods,
i feel so good here, not lonely anymore, i get upset when i think about going back to uk, i want to stay here with my love, will break my heart when i have to leave her, i want to live here oneday if i can learn to cope with the heat,but that will be 10 years away maybe,been raining here on the evenings and can see the lightning in the distance,
I need to secretly learn how to speak tagalog
Hope all is ok there in uk.......

What you doing awake so early? Cockerels wake you Good to hear your enjoying it Tony I wish I could tell you that you'll get used to heat, but I know guys been here years and still can't climatize. Try not to think about saying your goodbyes to your gf yet, just enjoy

I just got my extension visa. You'll need to find the nearest immigration office, and turn up with 2 photocopies of your passport, one with your pic and one with entry stamp. I paid 3050pesos and that gave me an extra 38 days. I didnt realise that the first time you extend its only 38. Thought it would be 59. 21+38=59.

Enjoy dude

[malditako]

Hello Tony,
Good to hear you got there ok, enjoy all the new experences you will have, when I was there I just tried to wear a hat in the midday period.
Will look forward to hearing more from you.

Perhaps the time of your life..
Any cultural confusion? Welcome to the club!!

[Sim11UK]

Good to hear you are there Tony & in good spirits. Sounds like you've taken to it, no problem.
We all struggle with the heat, even the Filipino's.

Keep us posted, as we're all interested. Keep smiling.

[liane]

Glad to know that you arrived safe and enjoying your stay in Nueva Ecija

You could have your visa extension in Clarkfield Pampanga, not too far from where you are. It will cost you about Php3,030.

Enjoy your holidays and be safe.

[pennybarry]

Wow! I am pleased you're enjoying.

It took me a week to adjust my body clock so I wish you can adjust it very soon.

Sooner or later, you'll get used to cocks "taktalaok"

[KeithD]

Sooner or later, you'll get used to cocks....

I'm not even going to say anything

[pennybarry]

[pennybarry]

Took me awhile to find it. its the little star down below.

... I expect MOST of us regulars/long-standing members are wondering the same thing, Penn ... I had three gold bars ... but I think Keith, Ginapeterb [Pete] and Joe are the only holders of those "coveted awards" under the new system!!!

The dark green pips are followed by light green pips, which are then followed by gold pips. When the limit these can display is reached, the (prefix) display of stars begins - starting with the bronze stars, then silver stars and finally gold Stars. If your reputation is zero then the neutral grey pip is displayed. Negative reputations are displayed in a similar manner using light and dark red pips and red stars - however, there is only one star level for negative reputation.

[Arthur Little]

... all "ship-shape" again! Many thanks.
