S Finally Arrived

S finally arrived today. Boyfriend and I picked him up at the airport first hour of the day. It was a little bit of a hassle as NAIA proved to be not-so-disabled friendly place with not-so-helpful-staff which made it harder for BF to go to the arrival area. Finally, after almost half an hour of futile discussion with the airport staff, we decided that I leave BF at the departure while I go down and pick S up at the arrival.

Finally, we managed to get out of the airport and head home.

Boyfriend and I have been planned our activities for the next 21 days. We plan to stay here in the city  until the Holyweek is over. People usually take that time to go out of town and we wouldn't want to go with the rest of the crowd. Soon as everyone goes back, then we will go and take our turn of the sun, the sand, and the sea.

A few hours after midnight and a very little rest, S felt like exploring the Manila scene. Boyfriend and I are quick to suggest and took S to Malate. There were more people in Malate than we expected for a Holyweek night, not typical of Manila. Anyway, the night went on for some drinks and some good laugh. We then head home just a few minutes before the sun shine.

Still unable to sleep, S asked me for a morning walk around the city. We left  BF who is tired and asleep from the long evening, the stroll the city shorts and shirts, and a very big shades to cover our yet to rest and sleep eyes, which S calls a typical LA fashion. It was refreshing to see the usually busy city almost empty, and I mean really empty, with only a few restaurants open and devoid of the usual morning traffic rush.

It was very nice talking to S. We just talk about amost anything, from how Makati resembles Chicago more than Vegas, to Paris Hilton, to HIV programs in the US and the Philippines. Ideas flow freely in the vast Makati Sky, until we found ourselves starting to run out of escess energy and wear off. So off we head back home to call it a day.

This is (just) the start of our summer vacation with S.
