previous day's entry Tues, April 16, 2002 next day's entry
It's 32 degrees Celsius...what is it in America's term?  All I know is that the weather here feels muggy and approx 89-93 degrees.  "Motherfish" Grace held "Daughterfish" Sue's hand to get to the mall.  I feel like the frog in this video game, Frogger.  The objective of the game was for the frog to dodge cars.  At the mall, Grace and I had a P209 lunch.  I owe Grace $2.00 for lunch.  We walked around the mall and everything was cheap!  For a person who doesn't shop much and constantly looking for good bargains, this was paradise to me.  I ended up buying 3 tank tops for P600.

This day was also my first experience of insulting the piso where I presented Wowo P240 for the Boracay trip (6 days at a hotel resort), but Wowo wouldn't accept it.  Some of the fast food joints that they have here are McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Wendy's, and Seattle's Best Coffee(KFC).  The menus are slightly different from America's menu.  In the Philippines, KFC serves spaghetti and rice with their chicken.  Also the portion size are a lot smaller...maybe that's why they're so skinny.  Later Wowo came by and picked us up to go to Grace's best friend, Sophia's, house.  While Wowo, Grace, and Sophie chatted away in Tagalog, I played with the pups (1 week old) and snapped a picture of a tri-bike.  They're a manual form of taxi.  Afterwards, Wowo, Grace, and I went to Greenhills to do more shopping...saw a guy peeing in the street which I soon learn that it's normal here.  Grace's Imelda Marcos shoe hunt came out of her where she kept on insisting that she wears a size 6 shoe, but every shoe that she picked up was too small for her feet.  As for me, I was on the pearl hunt, but was getting burnt out from shopping.  I guess that I've gotten out of shape in doing it.  Afterwards, we went to the movie, ShowTime, starring Eddie Murphy and Robert DeNiro.  It was an interesting process on how they purchase movie tickets.  The customer gets to see the avail seats on the screen prior to purchasing the ticket.  I didn't know that they were that advance...what happened to the PDA's and digital cameras?!?!?!

Mari:  I didn't see anything.
