Thank G*D i dont live with Mom around now, she’d go apeshit if she seen my room looking like this!!!! HAHA! Just think Mommy, this is the kind of stuff that would HAVE to be at home for a couple weeks when I get there! Still want me home? (just joking, I know you do )

Anyways, I’m back from the 3 week trip in Cebu, Manila, Boracay Philippines and also up northern Thailand, I got a new camera (testing it now) and new little travel laptop (the little black thing in the middle of the desk called an Asus EEE PC, it’s cute), hope I dont look too much like a geek

Love ya’s

Bye bye Philippines and hello Thailand! FYI for the family, I’m heading back to Bangkok tonight at the 10pm Cebu Pacific Air flight, so I will be calling everyone VERY soon

Love ya’s!

I’m now here in Cebu Philippines and enjoyed an awesome time during their yearly Sinulog festival, the festival, parade, shows, and parties combined involve approx 1 million people crowding in the streets, watching the bands, etc etc, we of course are drinking our ice cold San Mig Lights hehe, having a blast! Then afterwards we hitup Pump nightclub til 6am. Great time, great fest as always!

.
.

Club Pump had a really badass party during Holy Week at Budyong Beach Resort in Bantayan Island Philippines. It was on the beach, mostly only locals, filipinos attend. This was a badass party, with live bands, swimming, hot bikini girls contests (and guys contests too haha).

BUT!!! The downside that ruined the entire fun of it was that the little cottage rooms were fully booked, so we had to rent our tent, which was VERY hot, could NOT sleep it was so hot, and had to wait in line for the shower, or to use the toilet (toilets had no seats by the way). So that was semi disasterous!

Next year will be 100x’s better when we get ourselves little cottage on the beach with personal bathroom and showers.

But anyways…….

..

Nothing much to do so headed over to Ferdinand Magellan’s Cross here in Lapu-Lapu Cebu, Philippines. This marks the site where Magellan was reportedly killed.

Not too exciting but still, it’s something hehe, part of history.

Tonight departing Bangkok -> Manila, Philippines! See you there!

Here is my upcoming travel schedule for the next couple months, gonna be a hectic time again, oh nooooooooo!!!

Manny (Pac-man) Pacquiao defeated Erik Morales in their 3rd match together! Manny whooped his ass in only 3 freaking rounds!!!! What a letdown for the Mexicanos!!!

Me being Mexican myself, and watching the fight from the Philippines made it extra special for me, too bad it didnt turnout different. Good thing i didnt go to the betting place like I had planned to, i would’ve lost a lot of pesos betting on Morales

Pacman is unstoppable!!!!!

November 7th, a day which will live in infamy! It’s my birthday, and I party’d too hard! I think I may have drunk too many San Miguels beers and too many shots of Sambuca, and too many shots of Jagermeister!!!!!!

LOL

edit: real pics from my real birthday party are coming soon

I won 20,000 big ones last night from the Waterfront Casino here in Cebu City, Philippines!!!

Went and blew a ton last night at Cafe Havana & Sunflower, but i still have a couple left over. WOOHOO!!!!

EDIT: ok ok ok, some of you figured me out, I only won 20k PESOS!!!! hahaha! ($1USD = 50Pesos lol)

.
.

I’m on my way to Thailand and I am taking a 1 night rest / stop here in Manila Philippines, I hadn’t had a clue that a HUGE typhoon had hit here and blacked out a LOT of the city so there was a rush of residents checking into the hotels, so since I had no reservations (I just planned on winging it as usual) There was NO available rooms in the few hotels I usually stay at. ONLY room the Royal Bellagio had available for me was their famous “Chevy Room” lol, man it sucks but kinda neat at the same time.

.

Was leaving a festival 2 nights ago in Danao City, Philippines and we heard a LOUD screaming, of pain. We slowed down right as we were passing an alley and seen and heard the pig getting his head sliced off right in public with a little tiny kitchen knife sized knife. F*CKED UP! I love animals and I love the Philippines but still pisses me off that shit like this still happens.

Then on my way to the office today we were driving directly behind a trike which had a pig with a large slice down the stomache, dead, riding right in the open, I do have pictures of this that I will post when we get internet back at our office.

I hate that I love animals!

UPDATE: the pics are from the next day, we were driving and right in front of us was the trike with a dead sliced open pig, right on the main road!

..
..

We decided to get front row seats at the annual Miss Danao City, Philippines pageant on Sunday September 17th. They had a special feature guest, a guy well known from Manila named Carlos Aquino, the girls went CRAZY when he came out!!!

But anyways, the girls were very pretty, and most were very intelligent also! There were 14 contestants total and the pic above is me with the winner and the 4 runners up.

Hope you like the pics!

..
