My bro is back from manila. He had to attend a course which lasted for almost a month before he can join the ship this time. He was complaining that he was bored most of the time because he find it very routine and all that. While he was there, he watched a lot of movies - Salt, Karate Kid, The Last Airbender and many more. He also had lots of sightseeing during the breaks. He said that he liked the place because of the shopping and the friendly people there. wow...shopping... he promised to bring me and the whole family, next time when he comes for holiday...wow...i can't wait... i am actually counting the days already... haha..so impatient!
