Balikbayan Pen
AJ Jorge August 6th, 2007
Yep. Pen is back in the country since Saturday night (Aug 4). Her first complaint? The very hot weather they have in the Philippines. Ha! Compared to when she was in Sydney, it must have felt like hot knife through a butter. I told her, expect the same weather here in Singapore minus the smog and pollutions all over Manila. It’s generally a good weather here in Singapore. Yes, sometimes it’s hotter than Manila but the trees all over compensates for that plus the fact that there’s no smog here.
Pen and labmate Ali.

I’ve already mapped out our itinerary when she comes here on Wednesday. It’s a full packed itinerary that I wish we can survive. We also hope to meet some friends here (Marla and family & Nandy and family) if schedule permits.
It’s pretty cold here in Manila compared to the past few month’s weather. It’s been raining — hard.
Hay, when we visited Singapore, it wasn’t hot. I mean, “hot” is not the word to describe the weather. More like “maalinsangan.” Pero you’re right. It’s pretty much like the Philippines minus the smog and garbage and all.
I’m getting nostalgic. I miss Singapore. Haha.
Wishing Pen a safe trip going there today.
