Greetings from Phuket!

Hello everybody!! I miss you guys!! and tennis too =P
 
I was going to post something from Jakarta, but blogger was down at that time!! (annoying!!)
 
although the post is obsolete already, I'll still post it down here:
 
I just got here yesterday morning. We spent one night in Bangkok since the flight was on the next day. The terrible thing in Bangkok: we spent like half an hour looking for the hotel, which no taxi driver knows where it is -- it turns up to be a really tiny hotel close to the airport.
 
Here in Jakarta we're also staying in a hotel. It's a modest one, not expensive, and the exciting thing is, it's located near the pretty well known area ('Jalan Jaksa' -- translated as: 'Prosecutor Street') filled with backpackers' hotels, complete with the cheap bars and the ... 'women' =) . It's kind of ironic, since I don't think that prostitution is legal here (I'm not sure about this..).I got to eat lovely yummy tasty delicious spicy-hot Indonesian food for lunch and dinner yesterday. I want to take pictures of them, but my sister's digital camera wasn't working very well.Anyway.. I'm going to see my relatives today. Things will be pretty much just like that. I'm not even sure if I'll have time to see my old friends..Anybody wants anything from here? =)
 
Note for Gracia: You're coming here on the 15th, right? I'll still be here! So if you have time, maybe we can do something together for a day or so. I'll be leaving for Bangkok on the Saturday 17th morning.

back to today!!  my relatives were quite annoying at some point.  Basically, they didn't really share my excitement in going to college and taking up physics and/or math.  (that sentence might be an understatement).  but... I guess math and science are not really the thing.  they're more of the trade people.
 
I'm in phuket right now.  things are great!  I got those little braids yesterday, rode jetski today, and going to have dinner plus some shopping after this.  We're going to leave for Bangkok tomorrow morning and will stay there for 4 nights, I think.
 
I hope things are going great for you guys too!
 
Margieee:  is there any new mail from Mudd?
Tanii :   I'm not sure... but I think the school has told IB to mail the results to the university automatically, right?  (i mean.. we told the Mr. Knight and he told IB).  Hehehe... let us know how it's going with LSE!
Adhiraa:  how is tennis going??  I'll probably forgot everything i've learned by the time I get back to manila!
Grace:  Uh.. I wished we've met up in Jakarta...  Relatives are not the best thing in the world : P
