Well, as most of u all know, I was in the Philippines this summer...and then some! Yeah, so I missed a WHOLE MONTH of school, and now i'm buried under a truckload of missed schoolwork, and might have to take Chemistry AND Physics at the same time my Senior year..but hey, it was worth it!! ;)

*All About My Worthwhile Vacation in the Philippines*

written:october 11,2003

I got to do lotsa pretty interesting things during my stay there. First I got to guest on Eat Bulaga, which is a noontime variety show that's on every freakin' day..if ur filipino, ud know what show i'm talkin' about.

Then i got to go to the Pent Magazine Launch, take note, this is PENT Magazine, which stands for Philippine Entertainment News Today, and NOT Penthouse..ok? Just wanna make that clear! This launch was hosted by a well-known filipino host named, Boy Abunda. There were lots of well-known government people there..but..like I cared! All I cared about was their cute showbiz guest Codie Moreno!!!  I also got to guest DJ at a local radio station, 99.5RT with Neil, "the massage boi"..that was A LOT of fun!! (Thanks Neil!!)

And of course, the NIGHTLIFE. No age limits, no parental guidance needed, and of course No CURFEW!! What is that? I know..it's great! We went to the hottest "GIMIK" spots around the Manila area. This would include: Makati's Greenbelt and Glorietta, where you will find, Nuvo, Magnum, and other bars or clubs. Also Malate, where u will find Suburbia, Adriatico Cafe, and other cool hahg-outs. Quezon Ave. where u will find my fave comic bar, KLOWNZ. And of course, the place where my DREAMS CAME TRUE..Ratsky's Tomas Morato, where i got to meet my hunky celeb crush, Diether Ocampo!!! His band BLOW had a gig there, and thanks to my friend Angie's connections, we got to chill with the whole band in the VIP Room...can we say one on one time with Diether!?!

Unfortunately my vacation had to end, but just when I thought the fun was over, I meet Carlos Morales, (he used to play Monching in the soap opera Recuerdo de Amor in the Philippines) a filipino actor, who i must say looks good on camera, but looks even better in person! So, that's about it...  Now do you understand why i said that this was all worth it?!? ;)
