Philippines: Day 25

Had a little outing with my Aunties and cousins form my Dad's side. Kinda funny that they decided to have this after my Dad already left. But fun times nonetheless.





We went to this pretty new swim resort place which was pretty cool. Had this slide and a little waterfall that I did not get to take a picture of.







This is where we tried to fit as many people as we can into one jeepney.

Later that night my cousin took me along for the anniversary thing for his fraternity.
On the way home we ran into his friend "adobo" haha

then had to go back to get this guy

Be Right Back

Yesterday I woke up with my router broken. Meaning that I have no internet at home. But I guess that's okay cause I'll be in Chicago for the next few days to say hi to my auntie and cousin. Also this blogger app for my phone is pretty convenient. I will be back by either Thursday night or Friday afternoon. See you guys when I get back!

Philippines: Day 24

Woke up to more little kids playing with spiders.

Then my Uncle took me along to go find more tops and slingshots.
Along the way saw some vendors selling fireworks. The fireworks there have there are crazy! Just take a look at this one. Its called a "dynamite."!
and these little things are like the mega sized version of what we have here and super loud!


found some!
After that we went and watch some of the neighborhood guys play basketball. They dont have the luxury of having parks and gyms to play on so they almost always have to build their own baskets. They made a little joke about how this is real "streetball." I mean look at what they are playing on and on top of that, in slippers!

More isauw.

Then later that night went over my friend's house and his dog had puppies too.

Next thing you know both of them start taking a crap. haha

and this one is super long!

We got hungry so we went and grabbed some pigar-pigar. Out of the whole Philippines, you can only get this stuff in our city.
Ended the night with a shotgun. hahah

Philippines: Day 23

I was woken up by my cousin Jay letting me know that he just saw some guy selling spiders! If you didnt know, spider fighting was one of my favorite things when I was a little kid. So you can only imagine how excited I was to hear this. We left the boarding house right away and went to go look for some spiders and we did.

They were being sold for 5 pesos each, which is about 10 cents in US currency. So we bought some and fought them. I got this fight on video. Ill post it later.
After that we had some fun playing with some tops.




Then once school was out all the little kids got their spiders out and fought em too.



Look how happy that kid is.







Later that night my Uncle invited me and my cousins to drink at his place. Well more like drink our Grandpa's alcohol.

Meet my Uncle Eric and his gun.
He is a really good story teller and he can keep you entertained for hours. As you can see here.






Out of all the days I drank in the Philippines, I am embarrassed to say that this is the only night I was taken down.







Supposedly I woke up from sleeping on the table and we went and walked around where I threw up a few times on the street and also rode on a scooter home. I dont remember any of that. But from what I remember, that was a really fun night.
