It felt weird going back to Manila on my own. This is the place where I met Louie, where we finished college together, where we had our barkada, and where we fell in love most importantly.
We had so much history together that my heart ached whenever I chowed down those sizzling bulalo, balot, crispy pata, Andok's manok, Chicken Joy, etc. So I just drowned myself with a lot dalandan juice, mango shake, tamarind juice, San Mig Light just to forget the pain of being ocean's apart from my hubby and our two boys. And to kill time - I went to the salon, checked out Trinoma, Megamall, GB3, The Block, Serendra, Greenhills, Divi 168, Mall of Asia. But I just couldn't take going for a spa and lay in my own naked body without my hubby around (READ: I ran out of time!!!) .
That was a week long. And had he not persuaded me to come back home as soon as possible, I would have gotten stuck there. I'm glad he did!
Seriously babes, it was really NOT fun NOT having you with me all throughout my stay. Your humour and good company was sorely missed. (It was really difficult keeping together my passports, boarding pass, baggage claim number, e-ticket. And I had to take a deep breath everytime I would dare grab my luggage from the carousel. Thank God, there are still good souls out there who are ready to help a klutz lady like me.)
The good side of it, at least I would know where to take you the next time we fly to Manila with our boys. So get ready!
