Hi! Como esta? (my seatmate said it's actually colloquially pronounced "coomoo-sta" here)
Just arrived in Manila, and wanted to drop a little quickie note to tell everyone we're all safe and sound
(Sorry about the pic - didn't have time to google for a nice pic nor do any editing on it. And thanks to Sephy's tutoring, I was able to get this together in a jiff, using a template I have).
We arrived over an hour ago, and I just got through baggage claim, customs inspection and airport security. For some reason, I didn't have much trouble getting through - guess it pays to carry less, and to surrender your electronics without question (I just handed over my valise without waiting to be asked, and they just looked through it cursorily and handed it back). At least I think that's it. Lotsa people smiling. Some were even waving at me.
Anyway, as pre-arranged, I took out the celphone they gave me back home, got the card they gave me, popped out the sim, plugged it into the phone and speed-dialed my colleagues. I told em I would be waiting in the lounge for them.
So here I am. Surfing a bit (they got free wifi), draining whatever charge that's left in the battery and saying hi. Am pretty rested as I slept on the plane (twenty-four hours in a plane - not recommended, I tell ya) though it's only 7PM in my head.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and that I'll be posting something soon, after we've settled in the condo and had a bit of rest. (Just read everyone's comments - thanks, Faraway, Belle, Kristina, Annette, Abby, Stan. And, yes, Aunt Andrea, I'll try n have fun :-)

She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.

Love, Andrea Lena
Andrea, being Filipina
Andrea, being Filipina myself, your use of Filipino phrases in your comments on this blog makes me smile.

Like the photo of what I guess is the airport and that clip art. Will you bring back any chocolate?
