Travel Planner

I got a new toy today. I call it my travel planner.

My dad and I went to my dentist today to schedule my wisdom tooth extraction (ouch!). The clinic is near UP so he decided we eat lunch at the shopping center (SC). We ate tapsilog and crispy tawilis at Rodic's. GHAD I SUPER MISSED RODIC'S. Exage talaga, totally love Rodic's! Then dad went for a haircut at the University Barber in front of YZA in SC. He's so old school, he likes it there. In fairness naman, where would he get a haircut in SM or Trinoma...sa Bench Fix? HAHA At his age, kamusta naman diba?

On our way to the car, I met an acquaintance who happens to be my happy crush before. Haha I immediately texted Fa to report. HAHA LOOONG STORY. But I just feel the need to mention it here. :)) Anyway, dad and I went to Berkeley Square to do some grocery shopping in preparation for my tooth operation. I got loads of Arce Dairy ice cream. Doc says that's the only thing I can eat while healing my operation. Before we went to the grocery though, dad and I went to this weird book store- weird in a good way. They sell what dad calls 'strange finds'. It's pretty kitschy- like little nail polish bottles for P10 each, or booklets on Chinese fables, or letter stencils that are 'so passe' and you'll probably not find in National Bookstore. Dad ended up buying 3 feng shui books, a Philippine map that he needs for work, and the stencils. I got 3 bottles of the cheap nail polish (which turned out to be unpretty as I have short nails) and of course, my travel planner.

Here it is!


This is acutally a Philippine map puzzle. With this, I'm leaving my destinations to destiny. How? Oh, I'll take down the pieces, divide it as Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Then randomly pick a puzzle piece and visit the province I end up getting. Nice noh? I like the idea of randomly picking the destination. I find it exciting! haha

I just found out I won't be coming with the whole company to Davao because of my tooth operation. That's okay with me because when they leave, I don't have work also. I'll need the days for 'me time'.

I hope it was a great long weekend for everyone! :)
