I'm here in Bangkok right now... After a 3 hour flight, I'm finally here.
It wasn't that much of a long journey. I was quite nervous at the airplane though. I was expecting my ears to explode, or hurt badly, or something. Well, that didn't happen.
It's fun so far...
I'm gonna go home by 23 August, or Thursday. I'll be at Manila by 6:30 pm, +8 GMT. Well, I'm not exactly expecting a welcoming committee...
Bad news... I'm only going to be given my 400 USD tomorrow.... Don't have it yet... All I have is about 300 pesos, which is essentially worthless... for now...
The 2000 prize money has become just 1500... and 1000 will be taken for the school... So, i only have 250 USD... damn... don't worry though, I won't forget to get all of you souvenirs. I'll also log on whenever I am able...
And, well... I'm happy right now... He's my friend again... He's given me another chance. I may screw up again. I can't promise that I won't. But it's going to be different this time... Same as before, but different.
Thank you guys, for being there for me.
Thank you for forgiving me.
Thank you for being my friend again.
Thank you for giving me a chance.
I'm dedicating this contest to you. I'll do my best.
