We just woke up. It is Saturday here, 8: 20 am (or 6:20 am Manila. It is 12 degrees now, was 4 degress last night and will be 21 degrees later. What a hectic 48 hours we had.

Thursday morning we went to mass in the morning. Squeezed in a session with my confessor, while my wife went to Megamall to buy pasalubong for the relatives. Next a quickie lunch with Lolo, then back home to pack for the 8:30 pm flight. Got to the airport 3 hours before the flight and caught our breath there.

We didn't get much sleep on the plane. Because of a 45-min departure delay, we almost missed our connecting flight at Sydney International for Brisbane. Marlene and Ray picked us up at the airport and brought us straightaway to our first lamb chop lunch.

After the meal, we drove to KR's comfortable (and commodious) house. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor along with the living room, kitchen and dining room are as well. Ryan's studio is on the ground floor next to the garage. They have a workout area as well for martial arts. KR has a lovely garden which Marlene tends to every week.

We took a walk after a short siesta then it was off to a nice Thai place for dinner with KR. Ryan had a gig that night so he missed out. Or we missed out since we were too stuffed to follow and watch the show.
