Manila in pictures
Things I learned about Tim while we were in Manila:
1) He actually likes shopping
2) He actually likes sight seeing
HE BOUGHT MORE STUFF THAN ME!!!! How can!
My status as a woman is threatened WTF.
But I like shopping for men’s clothes too so I thought it was very fun to pick things out for him, make him try them out and pat myself on the back when he looks nice in them.
And when we went touring historical sites he was more excited than I was and took full control of the camera.(as you will see later)
Group picture our first night!. That’s Eric and Jay on top, Jing far left, Joy (Jay’s wife), Pam (Eric’s), baby and the Joker wtf. Damn ugly ok me that night! Top dropping and can see up my skirt which is why I decided a pink crayon box was a much more suitable item to be attired in.
Next day. I liked my hair that day! It’s okay that Tim had to bend over nearly like a prison inmate getting the soap because who asked him to date a dwarf!
Our breakfast.
And then shopping. I tried to make him get this jeans on virtue of its name but he refused how unromantic! If I saw a piece of clothing with my name on it I would get it right away. (Audrey lingerie don’t count because they’re not very pretty)
And then we stumbled upon the shrine of Tim’s religion - Krispy Kremeism.
I’m an atheist wtf. Hahaha no la I’ve had loads of Krispy Kremes before and while they are delicious there is nothing spectacular about them but then again I don’t like sweet food anyway.
Tim: “ohmmmmm” (Hersheys flavored)
Um.. you know how tourists like to take pictures in temples and other places of worship? wtf.
Nirvana!
We saw this wooden sign that said We Love You Lolo!! I made Tim bend down and take a photo of it like a thief wtf.
I was ecstatic and kept going on about how Lolo was famous but then later I found out Lolo means grandfather in Tagalog wtf.
Then we drove over to Intramuros, which is the Old Manila. Quite a few slums along the way but I was fascinated by all all the houses and scenery we sped past (until I fell asleep that is wtf I guess moving vehicles and me are a potent combination *dejected)
This is Rambo the horse and Ichabod Crane the Headless Horseman HAHAHA good joke Aud. No his name is Teddy and he was a very nice and diligent tour guide!
This is Rambo’s shit bag.
This is us on the horse carriage and Tim is actually in extreme discomfort at the thought of slipping and falling into horse poop.
This is St Agustin, the oldest cathedral in Manila.
This is the courtyard of a Spanish house where rich Spanish families lived back in the day.
Streets of cobblestone.
This is me shouting “BABY TAKE A PICTURE OF ME AND RAMBO” then stepping back in fear when Rambo turns to look at me.
This is seconds before the spit war began.
This is Greenbelt 5 - a very classy and pretty mall.
This is breakfast the next day. Managed to wake up early enough for it cos Tim had a meeting.
This is Tim having bacon and butter and pancakes hello cholesterol!
This is me being chauffeured around like a taitai while people who actually work are at their meetings wtf.
This is finally getting to the Nuffnang office so I can be clingy again.
This is our lunch. Sorry I don’t like Filipino food that much:(
This is me going “Guess what baby! You have to work while I don’t!”
This is baby going crazy and eating 3 1/2 donuts in 10 minutes.
Food 9598393, Aud 0. *accepts fate
This is Bonifacio Street.
This is Confessions of a Shopaholic.
This is our dinner - steak and pasta. That’s Roanna, Paolo and Charles behind!
This is Jay, Eric and Tim at the Rockaoke. Jay and Eric are both the nicest and funniest people in the world! They’re very witty and I think they’ve known each other so long that whenever one makes a joke, the other adds on to it so seamlessly you can’t help bursting into laughter.
This is the song form to fill out at the Rockaoke we went to.
Damn stupid why are they laughing on the form hahahahaahahah everytime I look at this picture I start laughing too.
And my moment of fame/shame when I had to go up and sing Sixpence None the Richer’s Kiss Me.
WTF WHY IS THIS PICTURE SIDEWAYS It’s the right way up in my computer what!

hey aud,like you travel adventure with tim. I am wondering is manila good for shopping? or bangkok is much better? Thanks
March 19th, 2009 at 2:45 am
Aud,
Looks like you had fun in Manila.
You do not like Filipino food!!!
There is such a variety how could you not find something tasty.
Exclude Krispy Cremes, way to sweet. Here in the U.S.A. Dunkin Donutes and Tim Horton’s have better tasting fare.
Your outfits are adorable, and of course you are so so so cute!
Sigh…and I can only watch from afar!

It can be a bit nerve wracking to take on any new sport, but there is perhaps no athletic activity that intimidates beginners quite as much as skydiving. Since the majority of people who are interested in skydiving have never jumped out of a plane before, it makes plenty of sense that skydiving can cause even the most experienced and courageous athletes to come down with a sudden case of the jitters. The fact that many people find their first jump so difficult makes the initial fall all the more important. If your first skydiving experience is positive, you will feel more confident about your ability to learn skydiving technique. If you don’t enjoy your first jump for any reason, you are unlikely to try again. In some sense, the first jump can make or break a skydiver.
There are two common methods for taking on your very first dive: tandem jumping or accelerated free fall. In a tandem jump, you share a harness with an experienced skydiving instructor who has total control of the fall and landing. In an accelerated free fall, instructors help to guide you during your time in the air, but you are in your own harness, open your own parachute, and control your own landing. Each of these methods has some advantages and some disadvantages, and deciding which one is right for you depends largely on what you think your future as a skydiver will be.
Tandem jumping can be less frightening than an accelerated free fall, and many people opt to start out with a tandem jump in order to get a taste of what skydiving is like without having the responsibility of controlling any portion of their fall. Often, people who only plan to skydive once choose to take a tandem jump because it allows them to relax and enjoy the ride while their jumping partner worries about the altitude, the parachute, and the landing. This gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of skydiving while knowing that your safety is in very capable hands.
In an accelerated free fall, you exit the plane with two instructors, one on either side of you, who maintain a grip on your harness for the duration of the fall, controlling your speed, helping you improve your position, and assisting you with stability. When you reach four thousand feet above the ground, you open your own parachute and pilot yourself down to the landing target. An accelerated free fall costs more than a tandem jump because it requires two guides instead of one, but unlike the tandem jump it can count as the first leg of your training course towards eventual certification. This makes it a good option as a first jump for people who are serious about continuing with their skydiving training.
