mabuhay ang macau...
mabuhay ang macau...hey guys! hola from macau! this is actually the first time i'm blogging from another country and i'm all giddy about it! hahaha... talk about cheap thrills! but you gotta give me some slack... mababaw talaga kaligayahan ko!
anyway, macau is a whole lot colder than i expected. in fact, despite being indoors in a pinoy-filled web cafe called "chinoy," and despite it having indoor heating, i'm still shivering from the cold! but it's all good. needless to say, i'm having a great time.
i'm actually here with my mom and my two aunts (i'm gonna be their slave for the next five days) but as for the moment, since the golden girls are all tired and probably snoring away in their comfy hotel beds, i'm exploring the city solo... and having an awesome time at it! gee... i feel like macgyver or something! heehee...
it's such a great experience and feeling to be out exploring a strange city, not knowing anyone and hence, not having anyone to tour you around and tell you where to go and all that. it gives me a rather strange thrill.
okay, okay, fine... it's not like i'm in casablanca, india, brazil or mexico. you know, those mysterious places where you can just be mugged at gunpoint at any street corner or killed without any logical reason whatsoever. heck, it's not even the philippines where you can get kidnapped (in certain places) or spat at anytime, anywhere. it's just macau... practically one of the safest places on the planet. but still.
the point is, i'm in a place i know nothing about, for the first time, alone, with nothing but pennies in my pocket and trying to make it around the city on my own. you gotta give me at least some credit here!
but seriously, it's a new feeling for me. and it's an experience i'm liking very much. for the longest time, i've been wanting to go out and do something like this... and now i'm actually doing it. a dream come true, you could say.
anyway, i can't stay that much longer. gotta check more of the city out. so to all my friends out there in the land of the dried mangoes, jeepnies and gloria macapagal-arroyo, i greet ya'll with the warmest "mabuhay!" i can give in this freezing place... and i expect you to holler back!
so for now... it's ciao!
ps - pics are sure to follow. keep posted.
