1st week in manila

1 week in manila and everything's going fine. been eating so much think i'm going to put on some more weight when i'm back. try to refrain from eating so much but coz meals can be charged to company so there's no worry about the budget and i'll start to order alot.

went sightseeing in tagaytay to see the taal volcano. it was a lake within a volcano within a lake. wanted to walk up the volcano to save money instead of riding a horse. but in the end, took the horse as we do not know how to walk up. i have entrusted my life to a 2-yr old horse and a 12-year old guide. yes, the little girl is the one guiding my horse up and down the hills to the top. some roads were so steep and narrow that i felt that if the horse loses its footing, i wont make it back home.

it's a nice experience riding the horse but at the same time quite scary and torturous too. i saw many poor kids begging for money too which made me feel really fortunate to be born in singapore.

been eating so much that i can feel my pants being too tight. a pity there isn't any weighing scale in the room and i have a feeling i'll get a shock when i weigh myself back home. ok must eat less and exerise more when i reach home!
