In the mean time

To my friends who have been waiting for stories, all I've got is a summary of my future posts (if I find the time, that is).

**Coffee galore at Dome Cafe (Male Int'l. Airport). We ordered a frapp and an espresso only but the all filipino staff at the Dome Cafe gave us cheesecake, fries, chocolate cake, evian and more frapp and espresso than we can take. Why? They asked us to buy an alcohol for them....sinuhulan pala kami...hehehehe

**Engot na girl at the SIA check-in counter in Male Airport. We requested for a bassinet seat. She said okay. But we found out she gave it to our friends instead. Kaasar di ba? Good thing the plane wasn't full.

**Gagong immigration officer at NAIA. He took our customs declaration form and had the gall to deny it. We had to fill out another form again. We were dying to go out of the airport kse pagod na kami tapos aasarin pa kami. Hayyy....

**Mayabang na customs officer (girl) at NAIA. Kumulo dugo ko sa kanya...Grrrrrr. After we got our lugagges, we headed for the exit door. But of course we have to give the customs declaration form that we have filled out already. We thought it was in our passports but we found it was missing. Only the immigration officer could have taken it. Aba, ang mayabang na babae tinaasan ba kami ng boses at sabay sabi: "Hindi ko kasalanan yan! Tanungin nyo sya (referring to the immigration guy) baket nya kinuha yun. Kailangan ko yun (the form)" She kept on saying those which irritated me to high heavens kse pwede naman nyang sabihin in a nice way na :"Mag fill out nalang ulet kayo" Grabe, kakagigil. Sarap nyang suntukin. That was a very nice welcome from the supposedly "hospitable" filipinos.

**MOA, Serendra and Trinoma experience. All in one day!!! We had a very long day last Sunday. We started the day by hearing mass at a church near MOA. Then after lunch we headed to Serendra at The Fort. It was still hot so we decided to go to Trinoma. Grabe, palakihan at pagandahan na ng mall sa pinas :)

**Move to Malaysia is on hold. Something went wrong with Eric's contract. But hopefully things will turn out for the better.

**I've got four eyes now!!! We had an eye check up yesterday and I found out I have astigmatism and my vision is not that clear anymore. So I have to wear glasses now. Even Eric has to wear glasses especially if he's in front of a PC.

**EJ's love of carousel. While we were in MOA, EJ saw a carousel and wanted to go. Tawa kami ng tawa kase hinanap nya talaga ang entrance of the carousel. Grabe, nung nandun na sya ayaw na nya bumaba. He really cried when we took him out. We had to bribe him with a smiley balloon to stop him from crying. In the afternoon while we were in Trinoma, he again saw the carousel and wanted to go inside again!!

I've actually lots of stories but I couldn't find the energy to write about it. I'm sure once we've settled down, I'll blog about it.
