Thinking about it, one concern I had when I landed at NAIA was 'Would I recognise my g/f at the airport?' . I'd met her 3 months before in Singapore, and although we saw each other most days on Skype, I was slightly concerned that when I had cleared Customs I would be greeted by a crowd of thousands of 5 foot nothing Filipina's, all with dark hair and eyes..etc, and I didn't want the embarrasment of looking my g/f straight in the face and not recognising her.
Fortunately, a 6 foot 1 white Anglo Saxon sticks out of the crowd like a sore thumb, so she saw me a long time before I saw her and managed to negotiate her way to the front of the queue to meet me.

Mine is 5ft 6" no problem in a crowd

Haha, likewise, my current Filipina is about 5ft6 so I don't have that problem anymore either

My first time to Manila I arrived a day and a half before my mahal, who was coming in from Singapore to Clark. I got outside the doors of the airport and asked the guard how much I would pay to go in a taxi to Makati to the hotel. I found a taxi, agreed on a price (several years in Saudi, you get used to getting the price first) and off we went. All the way the taxi driver was asking me if I wanted to go see sexy girls I got to the hotel and booked in, then had a walk around Makati. I sat outside at a bar having a beer and two beautiful girls came over from the other side of the road and started asking questions, I think they wanted me to take them back to my hotel, but that wasn't going to happen, I was too tired, and I wouldn't anyway.
The next day I got a taxi to the GreenBelt Mall and wandered around for what seemed like hours. There are just seas of beautiful dark haired and dark eyed girls all wanting to help you when ever you stop to look at anything in the shops, I was quite flattered to have so much attention. I walked half way back to the hotel, then got a taxi. Ihad a call from Charie telling me she was not far away, so I waited in the hotel lobby for a while, then wandered outside just waiting. Then, a car,taxi pulled up outside the hotel and out jumped Charie. I ran to her and bent down to hug her, I had forgotten just how small she is, we hugged so tight and couldn't believe we were together again. From then on she was my guide and translator and I was safe.
