I don't understand but I haven't been bitten by a mozzie in months, I wonder why ??? I still see them flying around my condo so what are they feeding on ?? Do they still bite me but my body is used to them now so there is no swelling or itching ??? I don't know.... interesting !!!
I seen the hospital specialist yesterday again for my results, they were very good, the biopsy showed that nothing is malignant, he kept using the word beginning with "c", I even find it difficult to type it !!!
I was treated in the best hospital in the Philippines but as it is still a 3rd world country, it wasn't in very good condition. By that I mean the walls and ceilings could have done with a repaint, the floors could do with being replaced and the furniture looked as though it came from the war. I suppose though that the most important thing of all is the treatment, that was very good and obviously I am happy with the results.
Other than my appointment I didn't do very much yesterday ( Tuesday), I was supposed to go out for dinner with 2 friends last night but cried off as I preferred to stay at home. yes I am an old stick in the mud !!!!! Sometimes.... actually a lot of times... I just prefer my own company, it's strange as it isn't a family trait.
Well it's 8 am here in Manila and the sun is shining again, I have my aircon on as the temp is rising fast. I do think though that it is getting cooler as during the day when I am walking around I don't have that sudden need to find somewhere that has aircon to cool down, maybe I am getting used to it...... doubtful !!!
The only reason that I am up at this time is because I got a text at 6 am from a friend which woke me up, normally I turn my mobile off before I sleep to avoid that but last night I forgot obviously.
Texts......... Filipinos love them.... big time !!
Definition of a Filipino...................
some one that asks if you have eaten yet as an opening gambit.
someone that is constantly eating but never gets fat !!
Someone with a thumb that is attached to a mobile phone.... texting.
Someone that is always shopping in the mall but has no money.
Someone that when you shout at them for being incompetent says... yeeessssss siiirrrr and totally ignores what you just said.
Someone that when you say to them, you are totally wrong.... just smiles...... then says yeessss siirrrr !!! Still ignoring what you just said.
I could go on, the above is just tongue in cheek but is true.
Anyway time to go, I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday... as I will.

Hi Gerard, glad to hear you are okay.. is the food bothering your stomach.. I was over at Marthas on Sunday she was having a wee birthday party for a friend, the girl that was doing the catering was from the Phillipines, the food was really good, I was telling her you were over there for seven months she was asking why, what , and where, I must have sounded very knowledgeable about the Phillipines, we had a good conversation, when I said Tagalog and she said it (sounded very different....enjoy the good weather our weather is very cold, and snowy. Bye-Z-Bye Mary
Hi Mary, No the food is ok with my stomach, Martha has never visited my site please hit her over the head the next time you see her !!!
Yes Tagalog is pronounced Tag...aaaa....log !! They hold onto a lot of letters at times. like YeeSSSS Siiiiiiirr.
and you're welcuuuuuuummm.
Yes you are knowledgeable of the Phils, at least more than the ordinary Canadian, there you are learning things about another country simply by me being here !!
So it's cold and snowy in Toronto, you lucky so and so, I have to suffer sunshine every day which can only be put up with by drinking lots of fluids and ice cream etc. It's a tough life but I will struggle through ;-)
Hi Gerard,
Sorry I didnt answer your blog last night but I am soooooooo, sooooo busy with nothing in particular. Am just on my way out with a crowd of girls I worked with in 1991. We were made redundant and since then we go out every month to 6 wks, sometimes I miss a few because I have been on holiday or busy, but we soon catch up. Tonight is out Christmas dinner. Catch up with you later.
Glad your results were good.
Take care
LOL
