Monday 27th July 2008 10pm

Today is Monday, I arrived in Manila at 9am after an uneventful journey, was through customs and into my hotel within the hour.

My hotel is in the red light district of Makati but it is a really nice high end hotel, the good thing is that its cheap because of the area.

It's really ok here especially as I am here for only 3 nights. The only hassle is being constantly approached by sellers of viagra and everything else that they think that you will buy from them.

The girls dont come out til late and they are not aggressive at all, mostly I dont see them as I am in my room early evening.

I leave to go to Mindanao on Wednesday morning, I have 62 shirts for the family that I know there. I am also going to Davao to meet Mindanao Bob, he has asked me before to call him for a meet, he is doing a seminar on Saturday 9th so I thought I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

I hope the weather in the UK is still as good as it was before I left, surprisingly over here it has been raining with winds as we had a typhoon but it was no big deal at all.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Hi Gerard,
Glad you arrived safely. Sorry I txt you so late but I only received your txt and thought I should answer it straight away.

Dont you be walking out in the red light area late at night, some of those females will pick you up, cos your a rich white guy.

Hope they like all the shirts, no doubt they will try them on while you are there.

The weather here has been too warm and muggy, it was 30 degrees in London, we are never happy. We moan when its raining and moan when its too hot, theres no pleasing some people.

Enjoy Mindanao and hope all goes well.

Take care

Your loving sis

Hi Anne, first to comment again, no problem re the text but I was asleep.
I wont be the first rich white guy that the girls here have seen so no worries. They can only pick me up if I agree !!! they wont drag me into a room to have sex with me... honest.

I only gave the shirts yesterday as they were for a family here in Mindanao.... they are all very pleased... the whole extended family will have a share.

Yes I understand re the weather we are never happy, we want it to be about 70* no higher or lower.

Hi Helen, don't you get cocky about using the internet now like an old pro.
Yes I was really happy to get rid of that bag containing 62 shirts. I had to carry it with me everywhere and I was also charged £25 extra for the flight from Manila to Mindanao because of it.. Luckily it wasn't from heathrow to Manila as that would have been too expensive... but alls well that ends well.
