hello, i'm back. i've been putting off blogging about my vacation because i haven't had the chance to download my phone pics. however, i realized that i've been doing more "show" than "tell" on my last few posts. and that is a scary sign that doreen's former pet (oy, hindi ako nagbubuhat ng sariling bangko; marami kaming mga fernandez pets) is perilously close to death by creative starvation.

another thing is, i figured i should just write about something as it pops up in my memory. i nearly went insane backdating my puerto galera posts and trying to keep them in chronological order.

there's actually a lot more to write about singapore this time around. and nyah-hah-hah, i'm not going to give singapore any credit for it AT ALL. i'm chalking it up to two things: getting up early and not snacking. oh and over 200SGD worth of shopping vouchers. hehe. kidding aside, singapore's still not my favorite place in the world, but i guess there's something to be said about traveling with someone whose company you enjoy immensely.

upcoming posts will include thoughts on: positively perplexing singapore trends, the woodsman (starring my ever lovey kevin bacon), my five-hour rainforest hike, prophetic dreams about the perfect foundation, a culinary journey through lah-lah land, getting bumped up to business class AND MORE!

so stay tuned, ok? yes sir jojo, i'm talking to you. :-)
