philippines or bust... but preferably the first option :o)

remember that opening scene in Home Alone where the mccallister family is in a complete frenzy running around the house the morning of their flight, desperately trying to get everything together up to the last minute?

this is current state of my household at the moment... of course, with the exception that our alarm clocks actually did go off when they were supposed to, and with the addition of a mother and a couple of aunts squeezing in last-minute dye-jobs and a full-blown breakfast production before we head off to the airport in just a few hours. meanwhile, daddy is continually making his rounds to the airport and back, dropping off box after box, luggage after luggage. yep, it's crazy around these parts, but the insanity of it all definitely raises the excitement factor in going.

a few hours spent on a couple of planes, and then it's 4 weeks of authentic filipino food and quality family reunions all around - all happening in the midst of tropical wonderment. even the fact that it's rainy season over there doesn't seem to phase me much :oP not really sure what to expect, as i'm leaving 70% of the itinerary to my family, but i'm hoping to get back into the habit of writing - the temporary lack of anything ontario-like and the predicted increase of ripe and green mango shake intake should be able to inspire some of my creative juices to flow... defintely looking forward to catching a few philippine sunsets by the beach too :o)

not really sure how often i'll be online in the next month, but i'll try to keep up with my adventures in the homeland as much as i can.

wish y'all were all coming with me!

until the next post, ciao for now! ;o)
