almost home

(me and my trusty backpack - only 20 kilo's)& (the superferry terminal in dumaguete) whew -- what a month. i am almost home, finally after a month of traveling and living out of a backpack. all i want to do is go home, give my nanay my laundry, eat a plate full of rice and fish, and curl up on my plywood bed. home. no, seriously, that's all i want to do. i took another all night boat from cebu to iloilo, but this one only took 15 hours, and i actually slept on this boat - trans asia malaysia. we took the economy class, which meant that we slept under the boat in a sea of 100's of bunkbeds -- no sheets, no pillows -- just a plastic mat. our trip was cool though, we left at night -- so adam and i hung out on the bow of the boat for a few hours. there were illuminescents in the water, so as we cruised through the water, there were little sparkles everywhere -- it was really beautiful. we docked in iloilo at about 7am saturday morning, i wasn't quite ready to go home, i had some things to take care of in the city -- like this blog -- so i stayed in a pension last night and hung out with adam -- my buddy. so i have to go home and get back to work and reality sometime today. i got a phonecall last night from amanda(my roommate in orlando), who is in seatle right now. i love getting phone calls from the states - hint, hint. she just got engaged to jason yesterday. congrats. i love you.
