19th of July 2008

We left Philippines last 19th of July at about 11am - PH time, arrived HK for our stop over and connecting flight to Heathrow Airport, that’s 12-15 hours flight I guess I lost my count, so freaking tired with all the turbulence, and HK children was so noisy, almost all of the passengers in economy class was grade school children probably ages  7-16 y old. We boarded Cathay Pacific. We arrived Heathrow earlier but because of the long runway and immigration people checking our papers we got out at about 9pm UK time. Dave - our taxi driver picked us up (I guess suki na ni Tania si Dave, hehe) 9pm in UK is still with sun it’s like 5pm-6pm PH time, and OMG it’s still so cold outside. We arrived home at about 10pm, and tool some pics! Will post the link later.

We slept at about 12mn after settling all our clothes, and tried our laptops for wifi access, hehe.

20th of July

It’s our monthsary date, 30th month so I greeted my bhe early in the morning coz I woke up at about 4am (UK time), had breakfast, lounge around the house, chat and play, then took a bath at about 9am coz we’re going out for grocery at Waitrose, it’s about 5 minutes walk from our house. We bought some food and important necessities, when we get home we’re so freaking hungry hehe so we ate beef lasagne and bread.

I texted Helena if we will pursue any plans for today, we’re going out, eat out and have some giggle. We love her company I used to think that she doesn’t like us bu it turned out she’s really nice, she brought a bottle of wine, and we gave her our presents.

We went out and ate at pizza express and she bought another bottle of wine, merlot, I guess this is the all time fave of ours every time we go to UK and eat out we always buy merlot, I guess we still have jet lag after 2 glasses of wine May and I we’re already tipsy! We went home and bade goodbye to Helena, and we opened our laptops have a few chats and went to sleep, we’ve go to go to work tomorrow.

Jean Marie Baillon (asst. credit manager for benelux) arrive today so that means we have a guy staying in our flat, he’s so nice he’s more like a father to us coz he has 2 girls of his own about our age so we’re more like daughters to him as well. After work Tania brought us to this nice cozy place called Royal Oaks. We ate roasted lamb in potatoes with red wine sauce yummy! We even drink 2 bottles of red wine, can’t remember the name but I guess it’s made in Portugal. When we went home I went straight to bed haha, hang over I guess.

We met Patch,our colleague and friend but left Emerson. It’s our first time to meet her and she’s nice. We went to this pub and the food was so nice I just finished one glass of wine but a bit dizzy maybe because the other day I still have wine on my body haha! She asked May and I if we have any plans for the next weekend coz she’s planning to invite us to her parents house. So we said Yes, we’ll just keep in touch if there’s any changes on our plans.
