i guess the pub is photogenic, too ;) it's a small, nice one. not everyhting is old here, you know :P and the reason we went there is that they serve beer (including SMB!) and vodka or rum mixed with anything you want for only £1.50 from 10 pm to 4 am :D we're all trying to scrimp here :P money is better spent on food.
when will we see each other, ha? ryanair is ruining their previous definition of cheap airfare, but i'm really wanting to see you and gay and whoever else is in England. I haven't been since 2005! I miss it.
hi cleo! yup, it's one of my favorites, though i haven't been in it. sort of like a combination of old and new. thanks for the good wishes :) hi to all island joe!
hey eric! how's the water there? waded into the river this afternoon, and it was like stepping on ice. i couldn't feel my feet after awhile :P this city is actually known to be a diving place. there's a dive shop in the old part of town. maybe if i work up enough courage, i'll try diving here (in a dry suit, of course) before i leave :P
ikaw. i definitely won't be able to go to the rest of europe until feb, because i only have a UK visa right now. even though spain and france are just a ferry ride away from plymouth huhuhu. christmas? gay's invited me to spend it with them. oh but you'll be in cebu, right? :P
haha. hay naku, super sakit ng paa ko ngayon every time i wear boots (i have three pairs right now). must be the effect of not wearing closed shoes for more than a decade. i don't know how to cope :P
ingredients: scones (cookies) in can from supermarket, clotted cream in plastic tub from supermarket, jam in jar, black tea with milk (of course). directions: smear jam and clotted cream on scones. bite. sip tea.
unfortunately, i don't think they sell clotted cream in the philippines. but hey, you never know what you'll find in manila ;)
8 and 9 June 2007. When editor Kristin Llerin asked me to write about Boljoon for the Cebu Yearbook, I asked, "Why ME?". I'd just written an article on it a few months before for the Lifestyle page (supposedly, it was what inspired the Yearbook editors to feature Boljoon in the yearbook), and I felt I had written all I had in me to write about Boljoon, after years of yearning for it. I'd explored all I wanted to. It was a closed book, as far as I was concerned. "Because you like to travel!" she said. Fine. It was MY Boljoon, after all, so I thought it might as well be me. When I got there on a Friday morning (the first weekend of the schoolyear, and I was already on another "vacation" :P) to interview some government officials, I discovered that there was an archeological dig going on in front of its historic church, and that there were actually still a couple of places I hadn't been to...which some of the locals hadn't even heard of, eit...
21 to 23 November 2008. After a horrendous week of coursework deadlines (gave a presentation on the 19th itself, stayed at the library till 5 a.m. that night to finish my chemistry paper due at noon the next day, woke up early on the 20th to proofread my paper, reprint and submit, then practice for another presentation at 1 pm), I finally got to properly celebrate the last year of my 20's on a tour of different villages along the English Jurassic coast (a UNESCO World Heritage site) in the county of Dorset. This year, though, I had the improbable (and ironic) surprise of actually having a classmate who's exactly my age. We found out we had the same birthday because we were groupmates for that presentation we had on our birthday :P So what's the probability of celebrating your birthday with someone exactly your age? Very small, I'm sure, and probably never again, so this was a rare gift. Because we both had all our November deadlines over last Thursday, we decided to do...
lost and found by Jeneen R. Garcia to be published (or maybe not) on 26 April 2008 I don’t have a mole on either foot to prove it, but I’ve been called gypsy, nomad, and other tribes of similar occupation too often to deny it. Instead of a caravan, I have my backpack with essential clothing, toiletries, and electronic gadgets to keep me covered wherever night may catch me. If I’m moving house, I tow along my suitcase of books and diving gear as well. I’m in the middle of yet another move to another city. In the last two years, I’ve lived no longer than five consecutive months in any single place--something I didn’t realize until THIS transit. I’ve shipped my stuff from one city to another so many times that packing up has become second nature; my suitcase is always on standby for quick departures. Relocating? It’s easy: post an ad in Friendster and other social networking sites saying you’re looking for a place to live in whatever city you’re headed ...
yup. you're definitely in britain now.
