the asian connection

P.S.

masaya nga rin pala ko dahil my mom (who carried a valid but blank passport for probably a decade), is now officially a tourist in Kuala Lumpur..and staying in a classy five-star hotel at that. naks naman! she sounded so happy from her SMS's.

masaya din ako for another first-time traveler, monj, who recently went on a two-day trip to singapore. mukhang worth it naman ang two-day trip, hehe. sana matuloy ang siquijor ro-ro adventure, monj. i'm really looking forward to somekinduva getaway before the labor mills start grinding again...

last night as i was eating at benh than i got to share the same table with a japanese transient whose plane had just made a stopover in saigon. she's a student who'd flown in from australia and was on her way home to japan. japan! now that's some place i'd like to see, too. the locals near our table were gawking at her (ganun sila pag maputi at halatang foreigner), but she was just so nice. it would've made a cute Star Cinema movie concept if i had been a guy. or she had been. haha.

hay buhay. there are over a billion people out there whom i'd probably never get to meet in this lifetime. makes me wonder what i might have missed.
