Jesse's Visit (Second Half) - June 12-15, 2009

June 12, 2009 - Today was a rest day. Due to some car problems, Jess and I opted not to go with Monse and Jesse, and Monse's friends. But Jesse got sick, so they ended up not going out for the day.

June 13, 2009 - Avilon Zoo!

We went today to Avilon Montalban Zoo.

Papa, together with Abby, dropped me off at Shell-Commonwealth. We were there early so we went to QC Circle first. Jess, together with Jesse, her mom, dad ans sister Janey picked me up at around 2.

My sister gave me directions on going to Avilon Zoo, and so I was charged to be the navigator. On the way there, we got lost twice, once when we overshot Litex Road (as then we didn't no that we had to go through there) and ended up entering Fairview, and 2nd one when we overshot Montalban Highway, as there were no road signs.

The dirt road to Avilon Zoo was frustrating. It was really bad! Monse with her mom, dad, kuya Mark, brothers Nico, Mario and sister Eana arrived later on, a little after 4. We had a tour guide with us at the last minute and went around the zoo for almost 3 hours.

We saw live birds in snake cages, waiting to be eaten; albino cows; pink flamingos; chicken heads being fed to big fish; long necked emu and ostrich; monkeys; leopard and goats; tigers; and even cats (big and small).

Jess's dad dropped me off at Petron-Commonwealth.

Thank you to Jess's Family and Monse's Family for a fun trip!

June 14, 2009 - Photos of memorabilia for Jesse. I met Jesse and Monse at the entrance of the Valle Verde Country Club.

The last day I saw Jesse here in the Philippines, as he was scheduled to fly the day after, to Taiwan at 11:15 AM, flying with Cebu Pacific Air.

Till next time Jesse!
