While playing poker and low cards were on the flop..Lala says: "Hmm... Interesting..." nyee.

*shempre kailangan ko daw mag-diretsong Ingles kasi 'di maka-intindi yung mga ibang tao diyan.

Today, we woke up to my Papa screaming good morning over and over... at 7am. Of course, I got out of bed an hour later :P We had to be ready by 10am because we were going driving around Sydney just so we could get a feel of the whole area. Thanks to Tita Cora, Tita Joy, Uncle Anky and Tita Nidia for driving us around :)

We spent most of the day in the car, we went west, east then north. I absolutely loved the beach areas in the east...Bondi,etc. It's nice and laid back... people actually walk around barefoot. Parking is shit though. But Ate A still insisted that she wanted to stay in the city and her argument was pretty solid "Paano tayo gagapang pauwi?" ("How can we crawl home after drinking?") hahaha! Papa said just for that comment we have to stay with my uncle longer! (we love uncle anky so it's all gooood)

While we were walking around the east suburbs... I think at Watsons Bay, my Tita Nidia was walking with my mom and she was pointing out houses that had historical value to the council. When you buy these houses you can't really change the facade. While walking, they came across an old house with an open door and inside was a super super white old woman with long curly blondish white hair wearing all white flowing lounging clothes... and they both froze! They thought they saw a ghost! We were right behind them and Tita Nidia was all like "Is she moving?! Do you see her?!" hahaha! Sayang (*tsk), we should've pretended we couldn't see her.

Then our two elderly Titas (family friends) took us walking around Sydney Harbour Park and friggin there was a nude beach called LADY BAY. Hehe shempre (*of course) the boys wanted to check it out... Tantananaaaaa... puro matatandang bakla! (*they're all old gays!)...with saggy butts, beer bellies and all. heehee! My kuya felt violated just being near the area.

Eric and I were thinking about one of our common gay friends (I won't say who) and we made up this story about how he'll go down to Lady Bay, accidentally drop his keys and bend over hehehe. Ate made us stop...

We then moved to the north side... it was beautiful! A lot of the streets were tree-lined and there were places with fantastic views of the water. Apparently, old houses are more expensive because of the "historic value" they hold but really, why would you want to live in a place that smells like an old moldy baul (*chest) where several generations of people have lived and died?

They told us this story about an old senile man who lived by himself in an old house in a nice suburb... he used to go crazy when he saw women wearing red. He'd harrass them and scream at them that they shouldn't wear red because it's for prostitutes. Anyway, they didn't see him for a week and when they finally did check on him, they found him dead in the house. He had died a week ago! The house sold for $2.5M! Wouldn't it be creepy if you lived in that house and decided to wear red one day and have some spirit harrass you "hey why are you wearing red?!" ok... fine I have an over-active imagination of a 6 year old... BUT STILL!!!

We stopped by Chatswood mall to eat merienda. We were served by this gorgeous blonde girl at Mrs. Field's and being the Filo that I am... I told mom, sayang, she's so pretty why is she working here lang? Shempre, mommy got mad at me. I keep forgetting that in a lot of countries, it's ok to work anywhere. You can be a bartender and be in school or have two other jobs :) I wanna be a bartender! There's a weekend course for it (RSA). Should be cool... One shot for you...one shot for me ;P

Ate said she can bartend but I can't because there'll be a lot of boys and it won't be safe. Hello I'll just be behind the bar! Which made me think... damn if the bar is high then I'll be tiptoeing while asking people for their orders. Kita lang yung head ko (*you can only see my head peeping)... "So what's your poison boys?" Not a very glam set-up hahaha And heck would they let me in the bar in the first place? They card me anywhere I go! They get surprised when they see my birth date.

So all you girls who are planning to visit me... bring your license or a proper ID because we wouldn't want you to keep your passport with you and lose it when you get drunk :)

On a side note... please don't hate me... but I might go home December na (in time for Kuya Joel's wedding and I'll be staying 'til January). Just so we can get our dual citizenship quicker... I love you I love you don't be mad!

Well... actually, if I get too miserable here, I'll fly over one random weekend just to get hugs and play poker with you girls. I have a roundtrip ticket remember?

*mwah*

Here's something to cheer you girls up! Krista: *Ahsk me what time is it? (ay barok!)hahaha "it's haf pahst fouh." Ginny(i love you bestyluv): Can you say Can I have some tea?
