Yesterday, we left the house about 11:30 to go to St. Lukes clinic and then meet with Wayne and Maria at their Hotel... we got to St. Lukes clinic and Nora was in and out quickly then began the trip to Makati/Pasig to get to the hotel of Maria and Wayne. Two Jeepney rides and a lot of exhaust smoke later we finally arrived.
Nora and I looked for them, but couldn't locate them so Nora Text'd Maria where are you and they had gone to the 'Hard Rock café' in Makati and said that they would be back in about 1 1/2 hrs. We decided to walk down to McDonald's and grab a snack as we thought we would be going to dinner with them. I tell you something, Pasig is very crowded area and the temperatures were soaring, close to 100˚ and so very crowded.
After we lunched a little at McDonald's, we Text'd them again and they said they were back at the hotel. We walked back and eventually found them. Maria looked good and Wayne has dropped 25lbs. I also found out that he got fired by Cascade Express because of an attitude but knowing Wayne, they probably deserved whatever attitude he gave them... He has a lot of money in the bank so is going to take a sabbatical from work for about 6 months and do some of the things he and Maria have always wanted to do.
We got to meet Marias daughter, from Hong Kong and her son Reuben who they have been trying to get to the States for 6 years now... both really nice people and I was quite pleased to make their acquaintence.
Nora and Maria stayed outside and chatted for most of the time we were with them, Wayne and I went into their hotel room which thankfully had A/C.
Maria bought a 14 passenger Jeepney, I belive a '94 vintage but obviously well kept by the owner... that is what they will travel to San Felipe in when they left. We visited with them for about an hour and a half then they loaded up the Jeepney and we said good bye and each went their own ways, Nora and I back to Marilao and Wayne, Maria, daughter, son and driver on their way South to Bicol.
We took the train back to Manila and then walked to the bus depot where we waited for an AC bus to take us home. We rode the bus into Divine and got off to buy some stuff for dinner, I decided to buy two broasted chickens as Nora didn't feel like cooking. From there, we went home, spent a quiet night and tried to get some sleep.
We woke this morning to people outside our bedroom window chatting and having a good time... 6:30 in the freaking morning... why they chose that location to chatter so early is beyond me. It will be another scorching day today but it is Nora's last day at St. Lukes clinic this week so that is good.
I received a email from RemitHome that 'money has been sent' so it will arrive here this afternoon.
••• RemitHome arrived about 4:30 with the money I transferred from my bank for Nora...
Hope you enjoyed the pictures Sis. Have a great day !!!
