There is nothing more bomb than rekindling your middle school love for boy bands. This experience in Manila coupled with thousands of screaming teenagers who knew every single word was priceless.

Apparently genies are Filipino and they DON’T ride bicycles…except this one.

Snoop Dogg’s “Young, Wild and Free” was on play back when C called a Filipino nun’s cell phone today. Oh, Ate nun…did you make the wrong decision?

“So what we get drunk?

So what we smoke weed?

We’re just having fun

We don’t care who sees

So what we go out?

That’s how its supposed to be

Living YOUNG and WILD and FREE.”

Cowboy hats? Sun-stache? Party favors? …coming to your street today.

C came back to her office in Manila to a beautifully shiny desk, to compliment her love for Chipotle and her shining personality.

C gets pulled over on her scooter for going backward down a one-way street (normal). Cop has taken her license and threatened to give her a violation. She starts to bargain with him to give her a warning because it’s Valentine’s Day. After much negotiation and him still insisting on a violation, he asks “but we’re still friends right?” C says, “we can’t be friends if you give me a violation.” He grins widely showing his missing teeth, talks to his other officer buddy, while still directing traffic during rush hour and finally agrees…”Ok ma’am, it’s Valentine’s Day so no violation. Are we still friends?” C smiles and says, “of course, Happy Valentine’s Day Sir!”.

Paper hats to keep the rain off are obviously thebomb.com.ph.  Particularly when they appear in philharmonic performances in the park in the Philippines.  Phew.

Three girls (much like those pictured above) pull up to a stop light. Police officer walks over to ask why the driver is not wearing a helmet. As she pulls out her driver’s license, her roommates pull up in a car, get out and ask the officer, “Sir, is there anything wrong?” The officer starts to explain how no one should ever be driving on a scooter without a helmet. The driver’s roommate quickly explains, “Officer you shouldn’t give her a ticket…she is being selfless by giving the others protection.” Police man agrees and lets the three go on their merry way.
