Transit In Singapore: Harry's Bar

I had beer at this Harry's Bar branch beside a smoking room at Changi Airport's Terminal 2.
As far as I can remember, this bar always has many people dining and drinking - not only passengers, but even employees/staff at this airport. This time it was rather empty though. Oh well, it was 11PM.

Hmm, akala ko ba 'the airport that never sleeps'. Bakit nagsisipag-sara yung mga duty free shops and other stores around here? Ayan tuloy ang tahimik in this place just before midnight! Parang ayaw ko?!

Anyway, I came to have beer, so I had beer - kahit parang ako lang yata ang customer at this time!
At least there are big TV screens wherever I look. Other than that, I watched the crew moving around!

Among them, I was sure one girl was Pinay while a guy looked Pinoy kaso singkit so I was not sure!
When the girl served my first beer, I asked her things, and yun nga, Pinay sya, while there are 2 Pinoys.

Nakahanap din ng kausap kahit pasaglit-saglit lang si beauty! And I was given permission to bring my beer bottle (and glass) to the other side of the wall, which is a smoking room. Until I finished 4 bottles!

I joked that if they had SanMigLights, I could have finished more bottles..,
And she retorted with her own joke saying "ano yan, laklakan sa airport"? Thus, as usual, pag nagkita kita ang mga magkababayan, daldalan kwetutan, as if matagal nang magkakilala! Ganun talaga tayo!

As midnight struck, I said "makauwi na nga"! Our 2 kababayan Harry's Bar crews asked "saan sa inyo, sir"? I said "malayo pa, doon sa me E11"! All laughed! Maybe their non-Pinoy crews also understood?!

Ah, let's talk more about that E11 thing in my next story.

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

Pink Sisters, My Cebu Experience

Image
What place comes to mind when you hear the phrase "Pink Sisters"? Hmm, yes, Baguio, then Tagaytay - in that order, right?! But did you know there is also such a monastery in Cebu? Ah, well, not really Cebu City since it is already a few steps away from the boundary. It is in Mandaue City. Yep, that is the 'Adoration Convent of Divine Peace' - a monastery for nuns clad in pink habit, reason why its called 'pink-sisters' and I think you know all about that part, right?! Anyway, this convent (and chapel of course - that's my topic in the first place) sits in an urban neighborhood that is by the boundary of two barangays both named Banilad. Yep, Barangay Banilad, Cebu City and Barangay Banilad, Mandaue City! And that is along AS Fortuna Ave., - the famed strip where many notable restaurants and branches of virtually every bank in this country are located with or without ATMs! Oh yes, as of this writing, AS Fortuna has four hotels, two of them new - and am only
