damn that was looong…

Yes folks, I have arrived in the Philippines save and sound! The flight was very nice; I’d recommend flying JAL on any long trips. They have funky head rests and arm rests where you could pick and watch your own movies independent of others around you. I saw The Greatest Game Ever Played (twice), Two for the Money and Corpse Bride.

I also believe that they (JAL) are obsessive compusive feeders. I think we were being fed something every hour. On the 5th hour of the flight, I had surrendered any hope of maintaining my current weight.

Last night’s temperature was 29 Celsius. Today the projected temperature is around 35-40. Yes, this is quite different from the 5-10 degrees I’m used to in Vancouver. So how am I coping to the change in climate? Two ways: (1) I’ve surrounded myself with two electric fans at any given point in time and at this moment, the airconditioner is running (take into account I’m writing this post at 7:10am). (2) I’ve also bought SPF 2000 lotion which is the same as buying an armored van to protect against pea shooters.

Pictures will be posted soon. At least until I can get this wireless router to work and upload pictures from directly infront of the airconditioner.

I've never been good at writing about me/site pages. It seems too much like self-promotion and being the stereotypical passive-agressive asian; I would rather walk around a crowd and into a train rather than interact with a bunch of people. I'm shy that way, which also contradicts this website that talks about me and my life. My friends and family would care to disagree though, since they've seen my crazy & loud side. More »
