1st day proper in Philly

Well, I'm sitting downstairs at Ate Precy’s house in Makati and its just gone 6 AM local time. Im still struggling with the time difference I think and will do so for the next few days. The general hustle and bustle is gonna take some getting used to. I’m currently staying on the 3rd floor and my room has a balcony so when I woke up around 4 AM I thought I would see what the city was like when it was sleeping. How wrong I was, when I looked down at the street I saw 4 men sitting at a big wooden table chopping up what looked like meat, don't really wanna know what type of meat, and it was then I realised that there will always be something happening in these streets.

I spent most of yesterday afternoon just relaxing and trying to get used to the change in temperature. The heat itself has never really bothered me(it was 30 C btw), what actually hit me harder was the humidity which clocked in at an impressive 95%. Early afternoon came and the Filipino weather decided to roll out the welcome mat in it’s own unique way, sending rain down by the bucketload. I took a few pics to show you and also to test my N95’s camera to see if it could take photos like that with any quality. Let me know if the N95 is up to the task as I’m still in two minds about whether to buy a DSLR or not(I really want to but I think that's the tech geek in me trying to be heard ;P)

Im not too sure what the plan is for today but I think we may be heading over to Fontana in Clark and I’m quite excited about that. I’ve heard some great things about it so I should be taking more pics.

EDIT: Sorry about the pics being like this, the photo album was playing up. Once its fixed I’ll try to change it.

PS: not sure if this is even interesting in the slightest to anyone but I thought I would add it cause its quite a big thing for me:

My 1st beer in ages :)

I was only given the light version to help me ease back into being a Filipino. Please note that the lite version is still 5% lol.
