Manila 2009 Day 1

Decided to spend a few days of my December break slacking and free-loading at Slug's brother's abode in Manila. Off we went on yet another short getaway!

We arrived at 11.30pm at the Budget Terminal to check in for our Cebu Pacific flight at 1.30am. A long queue was forming at the check-in counter and as time passed by we got increasingly puzzled at why the queue was not moving (even though there was staff manning the counter). Only at 1.00pm did it start to move and by the time we got onto the plane it was 1.45pm. Ironically we arrived 10 mins earlier than the arrival time estimated.

Slug's brother picked us up from the airport and we spent the morning hours sleeping. I thought Slug's brother would let us sleep way till dinnertime considering that we boarded a midnight flight, but no, he woke us up very promptly to have lunch, tea and dinner.

Slug and I started wondering if we could put up with such a strict fatherly care regime for the next few days.
