Greetings from the Republic of the Philippine Islands! It's 11AM over here in Cebu, and I'm alive and kickin'! :) My trip to the Philippines is going really well so far. I've been doing a lot of shopping, and a whollleee lot of family time. I'm staying wiht my aunt an uncle who have three girls, 7, 10, and 14. Haha, the littles ones are so cute, but they certainly are a handful sometimes. Not to mention all of my other little cousins. So what else have I been doing here that's noteworthy...  The first night I arrived we had a party in honor of my lolo and lola's (ie: grandpa and grandma) 65th aniversary. It seems that everytime I come home I meet more relatives that I never knew I had. There was this guy that performed in drag... he was so hilarious! I don't think my little cousins appreciated it though, :) haha, but that's okay. Let's see... I went ballroom dancing two nights at this place called Inner Circle, so much fun. It made me realize how much I miss ballroom. I wich I had my ballroom shoes though, the stupid shoes I wore the second night bruised my achilles on my right foot and it's been hurting for a few days. Um, I went to my aunt's beach house in Oslob, it's another town in Southern Cebu. It was really nice.. the weather wasn't too hot, and the water was perfect. Ah, that's the thing about the Philippines, not only is it hot, but it's sooooooo humid. I really think humid heat is the worst type of heat. Other than that, I've just been relaxing and going out. I went karaoking last night, saw a movie the night before that, and have just been catching up with all of my cousins... Later today I'm leaving for a resort called Shangri La, and I'm staying there until wednesday. I'm so excited! It's such a nice place... anyway, that's it for now, I've been on this computer for too long. Ta ta for now!
