Ah, after visiting family and enduring the crap that is rural Philippines and such, I can now act as a tourist, rather than a "visiting native." After we left Matlang for Cebu, we went on another boat to Bohol, which is apparently a tourist spot...'cause I saw a lot of white people here, which is a good sign that awesomeness is located here!
FINALLY, we stay at a hotel. This is nice. WiFi Interweb (though not fast enough to download the House Season Finale), room service, cable TV, clean pools, clean bathrooms, air-conditioning...AND FOOD. Holy God, today after checking out the room, we went to eat here, and I had a nice, juicy steak..in fact, a steak and a half. Jesus, it was AWESOME. And tomorrow we go sight-seeing. See, now this is a real vacation.
Then after that, we go to Cebu, hopefully to go shopping. This is what I've been wanting all along! ...I just had to endure 2 weeks of phail.
But I'm still yearning to go back to Paris. I need to watch the finale of House Season 3, I need to check out Mario Party 8 (though I heard it sucks), and I need to go to Video Games Live! ...also, when I get home, I want a "welcome home" party thrown for me, and there's gonna be crap loads of American food. I'm talking Dominos Pizza, Braum's burgers, Taco Delite tacos (okay, not American, but close enough), and some not-weird-tasting Sprite. Also, some modern video games, m i rite? The people in Matlang hadn't even heard of Halo...or even Metroid! Craaazy.
So you guys get started on that party stuff. :D I'm not paying you, btw. I'm simply gracing you with my return. That's reason enough to party, rite?
