Philippines ....

The last time I went to Phils was when I was about 12 years old, to be honest with you it somewhat freaked me out! Why you ask? because it was a complete culture shock to me, so different to what I was used to. KFC served with rice? Rats grow as big as cats? People eat fertilized duck eggs? Do I really wanna be here? - I wanted to go home so badly!

I look back now and think about the perceptions I had about Philippines when I was child it makes me smile each time I think about it. Going over there when your a lot older is much different because this is where the appreciation, filo pride and the like kicks in (yet there are still some filo things that grr me lolz), I swear even for that short period of time I kinda felt ... ahmm ... Filo :)

The day I flew in I waited for the sun to rise and took this shot of the skyline, the sun rises really early over here in Phils. I didn't have any close family around me that day or for a few days so some good friends were left to answer my truck load of questions lolz, thanks guys for putting up with that :)

As soon as I saw that sun rise, I thought .... I kinda like it hear :) .... wonder if I can live here for a bit?

To be continued ..... wait for the post on the day trip to Antipolo and Tanay .....
