gelo and i were just back from iloilo. saturday afternoon we sporadically decided that we visit iloilo. we boarded ocean jet, got ourselves a room at midtown hotel, bought stuff (that i might need to bring to my next trip) at robinson's, had lunch at sbarro's cuz it's the only decent place we could find at the mall and they don't have a franchise in bacolod. :) we checked their sm city & did very little shopping, i scored me an aqua blue stretch denim hoodie from kamiseta. :) we checked smallville, had dinner at bigby's(shrimp/crab pasta and chicken-filling and really good), met one of gelo's gal pals who lives there and ended up meeting the kewlest new people who reminded me of chinese school boys and girls. i'm allergic to vodka. found that out while in olio that night. i turned beet red and was scratching the itch from my leg and wrists..gelo had a crush on one of the gals..natatawa talaga ako.. he looks like a little boy who kept glancing sideways and telling me about the girl.. ssssssheeesh competition.. :)

sunday morning, at robinson's, gelo had another tattoo done.. i hope this would be his last.. i hate to think that he might get sick becuz of these tattoos.. and man, it did bleed big time, plus it looked like a hematoma(spellcheck) with a huge face.. then we had brunch at afrique's, the place looked neat and sooo americana-castillan era, however, it smelled funky i almost wanted to throw up their pizza that tasted like condensed milk.. then we headed to the port for bacolod. we had at least two hours to do nothing, we thought to spend the idle time at coffee break in robinson's place, then finally, boarded at around a quarter past 4pm.

am glad we're back in bacolod. but, overall, iloilo is a quaint tiny happy place to be in.

friday, i've been down with fever. that's why i am working today, on a sunday to cover what i missed. again, everything is surreal, all the trips are making me realize how i should experience the travel account hands on this way i'd have better understanding of the job that i will have in the next 12 months.. anyway, i still hate terminals(ports/pier/bus stations/airport terminals), they're a sad lonely place to be in, and i hate having to hold my pee in whilst in transit.. why am i borne with a bad bladder?

we will have 3 hours in seoul, south korea on the 5th. and half a day in honolulu, hawaii.. excited. :)

--

spending the new year with gelo's family. but, will show up for  work still.
