On Becoming Filipina in 10 months...

Islands=27 So now that I'm spending about 10 months in the Philippines, I'll be living the Manila life, reconnecting with my extended family and hopefully learning my Tagalog. I'll also be tallying how many times people ask me if I have a boyfriend and how times they tell me I'm fat. McFattie: 14 McSingle: 22

New godson pictures

Ate Liza, Kuya Dane and Kuya Ojit helped me move out of my Manila apartment.  Damn I'll miss the view from my bedroom window.  We went to Tarlak to visit Kuya Ojit's new baby Romulo Edd ("Redd") and I'm apparently one of the godmothers (yay!!)

Last days in Manila

I guess it all had to come to an end.  Here are the last few pictures and moments in Manila. 

Cheri and I doing dinner at Aruba. Kinda pricey but i liked the ambiance.  Looked like a nice place for a date.  We were looking across the window and discovered this cute little restaurant on a side street with romantic little lights.  Too bad i found it on the last couple nights I was there.
