WHY/HOW Philippines WHY/HOW!?!
why do your roaches have magical powers like super sonic speed flying technique and disappearing potion? how do you break an inch away from the car in front of you or beside you EVERYTIME effortlessly? why do you continue to build more malls? why doesn’t the gov’t invest in a more complex and efficient mrt/lrt line? why is there one national number for mcdo and not one number for emergencies? why is did they make a Pinoy holiday version of Black Eyed Peas’ “I’ve Got a Feeling” with the BEP chorus with different Christmas jingles as verses????
Philippines, let’s do this.
-visit rice terraces
-know and understand metro manila
-taal volcano
-snorkel and hike
-see Filipino monkey
-understand the school system
-island hop
-continue my addiction to the gym
-catch a mosquito biting me and flex and see if it really will burst
-go to hong kong for the weekend and go to DISNEYLAND!!
-buy a condo
-build a string of (portable) schools

As far as the things to do before the end of 2009…
I can help you with wear a gown somewhere and sky dive.
Skydiving is on my life to-do list.
As for the gown, everyday is our paradise. If one day wearing a gown will make you happy, then wear a gown! I will be right there with you! SF is full of interesting people. i’m pretty sure seeing someone in a gown on the street wont be the weirdest thing they witnessed that day.
My goal that I am constantly pursuing is finding my happiness. I have come to the understanding that my purpose in life is to find love and be happy. Cause honestly, there is nothing more wonderful than love 🙂
“-catch a mosquito biting me and flex and see if it really will burst”
Naw, that doesn’t happen. When I was getting eaten alive near San Miguel, Bulacan I tried it.
But when you smack them they splatter blood all over the place (nasty!).
