hello!! i'm currently visiting family in the philippines and am extremely happy(?) about it. it's not as bad as i thought it would be. the plane ride, however, was a nightmare... first of all the flight was 16 hours, and we had a long redirect to hong kong due to airspace closures in my home country. it was Horrible but once the ordeal was over, it was fine!!! currently i'm spending time with my cousins who i haven't seen in three years... i miss them so much!!! it's not really that hot (or as hot as i remember) and i'm just... chewing away.
my grandma's house has a lot of random animals just puttering about. some of them have been there for a while! there's a little dog named Knight (who isn't so little anymore) that i've known since he was a puppy in 2017!!! now he's really big and friendly, he loves napping and loves pets!!! he also likes bananas though he shouldn't be eating them. there are a bunch of little cats too- they're all so friendly! i wish i could bring them home with me.
we've also been eating quite a bit. i tried the mcdonalds regional variant (meh) and ate some philippines-only menu items from jollibee!!! i missed filipino spaghetti so much... although i would somewhat regularly consume it when i was living with my last roommate- she was a great cook!
anyway, that's it for now. i updated my photography portfolio and am planning to fix up other parts of my blog s l o w l y. big things(?) are coming!!!
