It's 12 weeks since I left my g/f in Manila, it's been tough emotionally over that time despite almost daily internet chat. Anyway, I'm counting down now, less than 10 days until my plane touches down in Manila.
We're going to spend a few days in Manila, then off to Tacloban for 4 days, Boracay for 9 days, before heading back to Manila for a couple of days prior to my return flight to Birmingham.
I'm getting very excited now.

Me too Englishman, this time next week I will be on my second leg of the journey to Phili. So excited to see my Mahal again
great time in borocay i had over the new year many good memories, soon be 12 weeks since i was there and like you talk and see each other every day , trying to sort out our fiancee visa at this moment , you have a great time
You have a great time too Steve.r, and I really hope that your plans work out for you
I didn't make it to Boracay last time SteveW. I ended up in Bohol and Alona instead. I've heard many good things about Boracay and looking forward to it. Good luck with your Fiancee Visa too. We will probably put in a Tourist Visa application when I get back to the UK. If it's declined, I'll just have to go back to the Phil's for a couple of weeks in July.
Take care when you are in manila, loads of hungry people there, they might grab your bread while your eating on the road
Have fun and enjoy holiday
Yeah, I saw lots of people inc small kids sleeping rough in shop doorways last time I was there in Jan. TBH I'm used to it having travelled to India many times in the last 15 years.Take care when you are in manila, loads of hungry people there, they might grab your bread while your eating on the road

Having said that, I've never experienced any problems with beggars on any of my travels. Sure I always get hassled for money by beggars, but they usually go away when I politely pretend that I only speak Icelandic
Have a great time Englishman. Im very jealous!. I won't be going there again until next March, it seems such a long way off.
Enjoy.
You WILL be, I'm sure ... Enjoy!
... and give them a "frosty" glance?Sure I always get hassled for money by beggars, but they usually go away when I politely pretend that I only speak Icelandic
Have a safe trip

This last week is dragging now, I just want to get on that plane and touch down in Manila. My taxi is picking me up at 5.00 AM on Friday morning, my flight to Amsterdam leaves BHX at 7.45 AM, a 4 hour wait in Schippol before the flight to Manila, which gets in at 8.45 AM local time on Sat 17th. Which also happens to be my girlfriends birthday.
What you got her for her birthday ??? We wanna knowwwww!!
Lucky you! Sounds like you have a great time planned with your girlfriend! Look forward to seeing any pics if you post any afterwards. Her Birthday is early the same as mine and the same day as a friend's of mine! Lol!
MeWhat you got her for her birthday ??? We wanna knowwwww!!
Another Blackberry because she lost the one I gave her when I went in January
Sure I'll post some pics when I get back, I might even post some when I'm there as I'm taking my laptop with me. You have a great birthday too SE Boy
Have a good time, getting quite jealous of all you people flying out in the next few days. Wish I was.

But I could be distracted by my hammock and cold san migs being served by my mahal.
Decisions one has to make in life lol lol.
Mmmmm, hard labour in 30+ deg's, or a hammock and cold San Mig's. Don't plan on finishing your house off just yet
