TGIF

Well it's Friday again, another weekend begins. We have had a few problems with the net in Manila, globe keep going down, most of yesterday and this morning I couldn't get online, that's the 2nd time this week. grrrh !!

Since returning from Tagaytay I have just mostly rested and am looking for my next trip out of Manila.

I had my haircut.... cost £1.50.... nice eh !! I found this really big mens hairdressers in Greenbelt, it has over 10 cutters and you can have a Head, neck and back massage at the same time. I will be there every month from now on.

I don't see much British TV when I'm over here but I did see 2 shows the other night, what I really noticed was how many times young people say " yah no wot ah meen", if they just said what they meant then obviously we will know what they mean !! Another word is "like" used so often out of context... we went to the cinema like.... like what !! I said like....this or that?????? Do you know what I mean.......yes I am an old foggy !!

I asked friends what is the emergency number to call if I need the police or ambulance, they didn't know if there was one or not, they then suggested that Makati where I live may have one but it may be different in each area.... so if that's true if I dial 911 or whatever it may be here in Makati, it will not work if I am in another area. So I asked what do they do and they said that they would call family or a friend !!! Nice one !!

I haven't been bitten by a mozzie in 3 weeks yet I see them flying around inside my condo !!! I don't understand that. Is my smell now that of a Filipino and that's why they leave me alone... another question is why is it that they only bite you below the knee. Can any bright teacher at St.Andys answer those questions..... a big blue tick for you if you can !!

3 more bombs exploded in the Phils, one here in Manila killing 3, the other 2 were further south killing 11.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend
