Of course the Philippines is great. The wonderful smog and complete disregard for driving rules who can not love the city of Manila? Soon I will be heading to the famous rice terraces of the northern Philippines. I am not sure if there will be internet so I am not sure I can update the blog, will do if I can though. Thing have just been life as usual around here. The usual being that i get up around 12 lay around and have Lenie bring me breakfast get a nice cold glass of water and then shower around 2 then have Lenie bring me lunch then nap time then time to go do something productive like drink A San Mig Light in the Pool or get an hour back massage for 6 dollars or maybe go out with mike and socialize a bit. All of my current available options are a 9 out 10 on my kickass-o-meter.





Bone marrow stew. mmmm. It really was good but I could not eat the marrow out of the bone like everyone else did.


These fish are a not good but the Phillipinos love them. They taste terrible, they do not even clean them only deep fry them.



This is Lake Taal where we went wake boarding. Once again it reassured me that my professional wake boarding career is going no where since I could not even stand up.



Road Side corn. mmmmmm Nothing on this corn but it tasted like it was salted and buttered. could be the best corn I have ever had and at only 20 cents its hard to pass up.


Of course Mike tries to show us the best possible time. So the follow pics are from a party he took us to.


Yes they are Manly.


She does have a lot of chest hair, muscles and quite tall..

Mike, sure does know how to show a guy a good time. When he said we were going to a party he did not say that we were going to a drag queen party. Free booze and lots of laughs made it turn into a fun evening.



The other day we spent some where in the neighborhood of six hours in the pool. It was the first time I have been cold here. It was so enjoyable I never wanted to leave. It is usually so hot here that I wake up in a pool of my own sweat so it was nice change. Then our second trip to the pool was at two a.m. and the security guard came out because the pool was closed (Nothing was locked) but since this is Manilla and we are now Super Upper Class we get what we want and he kindly went away.

If anyone ever wants to know what their life would be like if you were a multimillionaire this is the place to test the water. Let me tell you the water is NICE. It is an effort to spend over 50 dollars here. a 30-60 min cab ride is around 3 dollars, a ice cold soda around 45 cents, a very elaborate dinner about 4 dollars, any dvd you want is 1 dollar, maid in the house 150.00 a month. 3rd world countries do have something to offer me. :)




Since there are ZERO rules and regulations here we partook in the gentleman's meeting on the Helipad. No doors are lock and no warning signs posted to get to this location. It is even more amazing in person.




This is a pic of Kyle on the left, myself, and mike on the right at lake Taal.


Thanks for all of the comments I enjoy reading them. I will try to post again asap.
