on friends and my fascination with skyscrapers......

I said it. I made an article about the frustrating exploit of my friend married to an Irish man in search of a house in the Philippines. To put closure to the story, they decided to go back to Ireland empty handed. And so before flying back they invited us for a drink. Drinking San Mig light in broad daylight? what about that? hehe

So glad I got the chance to see them though before leaving as Damien and  I never run out of topics of discussions. He is fun to talk to. Very opinionated like me, but never insistent on his views. At one point, he complained about their hotel in P. Burgos so he invited us go upstairs just to see it ourselves. Really far from the promotional pictures on the web I guess. If there's one thing a little nice though, it's the view from the balcony. lol

And with this I hope I could soon buy a camera so as to pursue my passion for taking photos of skyscrapers.

I can't also wait for their next holiday here. Hope lotsa things will be more diffrent that time. A new ptresident and perhaps, as Damien hopes, a new law on foreign land ownership. We'll I really hope so Damien, there have been many attempts to amend the constitution in the past but to no avail. Filipinos are just not emotionally ready to make changes. Not yet.

Teresa, Damien and Jen back in the hotel....

One thing for sure, your next travel here will be a blast as I personally offered my services as a planner and guide for your out of town  trips. And I will not allow jen to object. hehe. You will definitely get more sun and tan here next time. For now it's goodbye and see you soon......
