I’m Coming Home!

Friday, October 20th, 2006

I’ll be flying out of Copenhagen this evening for a well-deserved vacation at home.  Will be spending a few days in Bangkok first with a friend and then it’s almost 3 weeks of relaxation in Manila!  Well it’s not exactly pure relaxation, as I have quite a few things planned.  Here’s a list of what I intend to do back home:

1.      Attend a friend’s wedding

2.      Go on an advanced diving course in Puerto Galera

3.      Get a massage

4.      Get a haircut

5.      Get a facial

6.      Go to the dentist

7.      Renew my RP driver’s license

8.      Get an international driver’s license

9.      Catch up with family and friends

10.  Go out every weekend (and maybe even on weekdays)

11.  Buy new clothes and shoes

12.  Have my tennis racket fixed (and play tennis!)

13.  Buy Purefoods Corned Beef and Sisig, Mang Tomas, Chippy, dried mango, canned laing, bagoong, banana catsup, Skyflakes, Century Tuna Hot and Spicy, etc. etc…. and ship them to Denmark

14.  Fix my bank disputes, get new ATM and credit cards

15.  Eat lechon

16.  Eat kaldereta

17.  Eat kare-kare

18.  Eat king crabs

19.  Eat tubs of shrimp and oysters

20.  Squeeze some exercise here and there to counter the insane number of calories I’ll be consuming….

Must.  Discipline.  Myself.  Must.  Resist.  Temptation.  Must….

For the third time skydiving was cancelled.  First time was because I lost my wallet and hence the money I was supposed to use to pay for it.  Second time it was because of plane engine problems.  This morning as I was biking to the station my colleague called me again and apologized that skydiving was again cancelled because of engine trouble.  Bummer.
Maybe the powers that be are telling me something?  Maybe I SHOULDN’T do it.  However, as I am a stubborn bastard I WILL jump.  At some point.  Soon.
