Back in Manila

Back sa wakas. After 19 hours of travel time, nakarating na din kme ni misis ng Pinas.
I told myself, finally, makakapagpahinga na kame. Makakatikim na ulit ako ng paghiga sa kama, after ng mahabang pag-upo sa eroplano.
Yun lang, ung mga in-laws ko, nung magsundo sa amin, sabi nila na matutulog sila sa Condo, kase plan nga pumunta the next day sa bahay namin sa Cavite. So instead na umuwi ulit sila sa kanila (Malanday, Valenzuela), they'll just spend the night sa condo. Kaso, maliit lang ang room dun, di kame kakasya. Kaya after dropping off our baggages sa condo, we went straight to Dasma, Cavite. So mga 12 midnight, nasa byahe kame.
Wala pang gamit sa bahay, at di pa tapos ang finishing ng interiors. So we had to take some things with us para matulugan namin. Comforter, bed sheets, floor pillows, dala namin lahat para may mahigaan kme. Buti na lang tapos na ilagay ung laminated floorings sa dalawang kwarto sa 2nd floor. Dun kame lahat nagsiksikan.
Too bad for me, wala ang comfort ng kama na inaasahan kong matitikman ko pagkatapos ng mahabang byahe na nakaupo ka lang matulog. Pero at least, masaya pa din dahil nakita namin ang development sa bahay namin. At first time ko makatulog sa bahay ko.

Manila here i come!

Hehehehehe... my last day in Austin. Bukas, we're leaving US thru Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. We'll do a brief stop at Narita in Tokyo, then we're back in Manila! Woohoo!!! O_o

Hehehehehe... anyway, it was fun being here. Again. Kahit na may konting "slip-ups" sa work, eh i managed to sneak out of them easily. Our counterparts here loves us being here, kase bawas talaga sa trabaho nila. And it's easier working face-to-face with them rather than communicating only through emails and occassional conference calls.

As usual, we dined out for the last time here before we leave. Lunch-out with our bosses and leads. Treat ng lolo joe ko :D. We had lunch sa McAlister Deli, famous for their sandwiches and salads.

I wonder what awaits us pagbalik namin sa condo sa Makati. Sana andun pa ang mga gamit namin. ^_^ And sana di gano naglipana ang mga "bestfriends" ko dun sa may sink area.

Buti na lang, holiday sa Monday sa Manila. At least makaka-"pahinga"(pahinga=time away from office, not "rest" o.o) kame ng konti before pumasok ulit sa opisina.

We're going to visit our house, pagbalik namin sa Pinas. We have no idea kung ano nangyari dun nitong may nagdaan na 2 bagyo. Baka binaha na ung second floor nun. Baka naubos na gamit dun. Baka nabasag na mga salamin ng bintana. O_o Wag naman sana.

Goodbye Austin... until we meet again. :D
Hello Manila... malapit na kitang muling makita. ^_^

Commentary...

• 'out of body' experience. I've never had that kind of experience. At least that's what i think. According to this article, this experience is "the sensation of being awake and seeing their own body from another location". That article also said that, kaya nilang i-simulate ung experience na yun. Pano kaya nila naiisip ung mga bagay na un? O_o
• Excuse me, I'd like to buy your B-52. So the title of the article goes. Marami akong pera, makabili nga ng B-52 Bomber. Ang cool nyang tingnan eh.
  
• When someone in your family dies, you grieve, you mourn and you bury them. Well, this man forgot the 'bury' part.

Local naman...

• This question, i want to hear the answers to. San nga ba napupunta pera ng gobyerno? Especially ung pork-barrel na yan. Pano ba gumagana un? Is it already allocated per recipient? Or is it 'for allocation' pa depending on who's planning to get their share? So if it is the first case, then the question is valid. If it is the second, then, well valid pa din ung question pero in a different context na. Basta isa yan sa mga tanong ng taongbayan na kailangang sagutin. ^_^
• May follow-up question ako dyan, kung nakuha man ng senator ung pork barrel nya, Where does the released pork barrel go? O_o
