Price Checks

June 26, 2007

Today me and Amier, my distributor here is scheduled to have a meeting with his hotel manager friend who is Manager of Melia Bali Villas and Spa Resort, this is a very luxurious hotel and most popular among the hotels in Nusa Dua, it is managed by Sol Melia a Spanish brand as Aris said. I presented to him our product and he is interested, hopefully I can have the answer within the week. Aris Also mentioned that Banana boat doesn’t have any agreement or contract with their hotel, only simple papers like sales invoice, official receipt and delivery receipt, but it’s on a consignment basis. He also said we have a chance to get in to their hotel because our price is competitive and very reasonable.

After here Amier and I went to The BALE, a luxury hotel also in Nusa Duaisa . She is one of the staff’s of Amier in his former work also in hotel business. She said they really need a sunblock in their hotel coz most of their rooms has their own swimming pool, I wonder how beautiful it is??? Anyway, she said as of now, they are using their own sunblock, they are getting sunblock from a local factory here in Bali, they get it in a bigger containers like 1 liter bottle, here’s what they do, they order from this factory the sunblock and they just refill the smaller bottles that they have inside of each of their rooms. But the name of it is under their hotels. She said some of the hotels in Nusa Dua also do that, they have their own essential kits in each rooms like, lotions, shampoo, oils, toothpaste etc… she said if we can provide them with bigger containers it’s a deal. I also suggested that if we agree on that deal, if we can provide at least a small sticker or logo for the bottles that they will use, she said for the first months maybe no because they will have to know if there will be positive effect to their customers, I wonder if we can do this? I think it’s possible, less expense on our end coz we don’t need to use bottles, just the ingredients to ship here… what do you think boss??

After here Amier took me to my motorbike and went home, he drives with his car me on my motorbike.. after that I had dinner and slept..

Beach Hut's First Bali Sales Despite My Bali Belly!

June 27, 2006

Today, I’m having “Bali Belly” this is when your stomach gets upset, but I have to go out, me and Amier has to meet some one from Circle K head office, I’m really excited now coz I’m feeling something positive is going to happen today.. and finally we met the key person from our prospect, she’s the one in charge of ordering and placing products on their stores. The good news is, they agreed to have a deal with us! They also like to place our airtoo booth in their stores for added promotion. They really like the airtoo promotion. I suggested if we can place the airtoo booth on their branch just few steps away from Kuta and she said its ok. What a great feeling I have today, even my distributor is so happy when he hear that they are closing deals with us, just imagine, 45 branches in Bali, and still growing, 91 branches all in all in Indonesia as of the moment, there are also branches in Japan and United States. Who’s not gonna be happy with that?? she only said we just have to give them the final pricelist so they can place the order right away. After this me and Amier walks out of their office with a great smile on our face. He’s really happy with the developments of Beach Hut.

After the meeting me and Amier separated, he will go back to his office and I have to do some reporting to my office in Philippines to my Boss Dennis and Mara, I really can’t help myself to tell my Boss, I can’t wait to go on line so I decided to text her about the good news. And I’m happy coz she’s happy too with the developments here in Bali.

After doing some reporting in the internet I went back home, still experiencing the “Bali Belly” maybe this is from too much curry sauce or spices, hehehe… my stomach is still not adjusted to the foods here I guess, but I’m fine no worries, I’ll take my sleep now but before going to sleep I’m gonna thank God for this great blessing that He gave me and Beach Hut. God is really GOOD!!!! Thank you….

Sunset, quicksilver, etc.

Today me and Arta is going to a surfing competition composed of Japanese and Australian surfers, this is my first time to witness an event like this and I tell you I’m very excited. When we arrived its already in the semi final stage, we arrived just in time coz we can witness the finals… I took pictures also of the finalists… from the shore you can see the surfers battling and breaking waves, it was really cool watching this events, it made me interested in going to surfing too, looks like it’s an exciting and thrilling sport. The waves here are not that high coz the tide is already lowering as the clock ticks away, the Japanese in red shirt won this event. Also amazing in these beach is the sand, as you can see on the picture with the Beach hut lotion, the sand is black, but what’s nice is they are sparkling, like someone threw diamonds on the beach..

After here we went to Jimbaran Beach, this beach is like Puerto Galera and Boracay where the restaurants are along the shore, you can have a very romantic dinner here. Foods here are mostly seafoods, at last I can taste other food now aside from curry’s hehehe. Arta has a meeting with his organization here, Rotaract Club of Bali Sanur, he said he will introduce me also to the other members of this club because maybe they can help me also with my product. Luckily one of the members here is working in Quick Silver, a surf shop here in Bali. I talked to her and explained about the product, she said she will help me and refer me to their purchasing officer as well as her friends who works in other surf shops, another friend of Arta, is working in the Duty Free Shop here in Bali, he also said he will help me there. I’m really lucky to have known Arta here in Bali. I’ve chosen the right persons on the right place at the right time. I hope it’s always like this in every journey that I will make with Beach Hut.

They also said this is where you can see the beautiful sunset of Bali, so I took some pictures of the sunset here.. it’s beautiful isn’t? but for me there’s no more perfect than the sunset in Manila Bay… after here we went home, so tired and I have to take a sleep, no day off here… hehehe…

June 22, 2006

Good afternoon people, you can see my lunch is fried tofu, hotdog and rice, I just cooked those in the house, the rice I bought it outside. After having lunch I fixed my things and go to the internet shop to report to Mara about what’s happening here, while chatting with Mara I also had the chance to see my parents and chat with them on line, I got quite sad coz I missed them, this is the 1st time I’ve seen them, I cried for a while, nakakalungkot talaga malayo sa kanila but I know sa umpisa lang ito, anyway 2 months is only for while, my dad said wag nalang ako titingin sa calendar para malibang ako, after hours of doing internet I went home to take a rest, Arta, my friend asked me if I wanted to join him in going to their temple to watch people pray and dance for their God’s, I said yes but we have to eat dinner first, I’m already starving, before going out, Arta pulled 2 pieces of sarong for me to use and wear coz I can’t enter their temple if I have no sarong, you can see on the pictures, Arta said bagay pala sakin ang sarong mukha daw akong Balinese talaga, then we went to have dinner, we went to a small “carinderia” where they serves only java food, I ordered fried chicken skin and intestines and some of the spicy shredded chicken meat, its really spicy, naanghangan talaga ako dito. After dinner we went to the temple which Arta is talking about, its about 30 minutes motorbike, quite far from the house, when we arrived I saw many people carrying offerings on their heads and hands, they really pray a lot. By the way their religion is Hinduism, most of the Balinese are Hindus, almost 100%, You can see in the picture, people praying, some have dance show which they offer to their God’s, I’ve witnessed also something like exorcism, Arta said it’s a “trans” The spirit of their God takes over the body of someone there and when the spirit is already on that body he can stab himself with a small sword without any blood or pain, kinilabutan talaga ako dito coz you can hear them shout very loud, nakakatakot kasi baka sakin pumasok yung spirit, mahirap ata yun, di ako marunong mag bahasa and ayoko saksakin sarili ko, hehehe.. Kahit sino daw kasing nandun pwedeng pasukan. Scary isn’t it? We also watched women playing gongs and men doing puppet show with characters of their God’s they’re just using real flame, no special effects. I also ate 4 pcs “sate” grilled pork, bbq for short. When were going back to the motorbike I asked Arta if I can have pictures with the Balinese women who are walking on our side, he asked them and they agreed to have a picture with me, they even wipe the oil on their faces, they really like to have a picture with a foreigner Arta said. After this we went back home and when we arrived at my house Arta decided to go home also coz its already late and he is sleepy already. I’m sleepy too that’s why this is all for now folks, see you again tomorrow, Have a goodnight…

Competitors,competitors

June 21, 2006

Good morning people, I just finished my food, I had coffee, noodle soup and something like siomai with crab meat insid , I didn’t like the taste of the covering so I just ate the crab meat inside. After eating I drank some medicines coz I still have some fever, and off to go to Kuta, luckily I didn’t get lost, I just put in mind the directions that my friend Arta told me, I went to Legian road, one of the shopping streets in Kuta. I entered “Rip Curl” its a surf shop with 4 branches in Bali, their main office is in Australia, their branches in Bali are all franchises. I took some pictures of Hawaiian tropic and Banana boat stands, Rip curl also has their own brand of sunblock. I talked to their shop manager named Corah Sinulingga, I presented our product profile as well as our company profile, she’s interested with our product but she wants to have a 30% from the retail price, coz this is what the company is getting from Banana boat and Hawaiian tropic products. She has an agent in Banana boat but based in Java, she also have a distributor on Hawaiian tropic but based in Jakarta. I tried to fish if she can refer it to me but she wont talk. I got her calling card and I gave her mine, she will still talk to her superior about my proposal and I will visit her shop again the soonest possible time. After Rip curl I entered Surfer Girl and Quicksilver they also have the Banana boat stand here, I’m trying to talk to the supervisor or manager but she’s outside, I’ll get back to these stores again. Then I went to Billabong shop, its also a surf shop, the manager is in their other shop so the woman just gave me the number so I can call him, they only got Banana boat as sunblock. I also entered Matahari, a department store in Kuta square, they only have Estee Lauder as their sunblock. I also took pictures of Kuta square where you can find some signature stores, you can see in the picture with big black curtain, that is one of the bomb site, there are 2 bomb sites here, I’m just praying that no bomb will explode while I’m here, I asked Arta who are the people who planted the bomb and for what reason, he said people from Java and Jakarta because they don’t like white people to go to Bali, like Australians, Americans, Germans etc.. many people died here during the blast he also added. Then I went to circle K, near Kuta beach, it’s a convenience store with more or less 40 branches in Bali only, I asked the person there where is the main office she said its in Nusa Dua, another part of Bali, around 45 minutes motorbike from Kuta, she also gave me the number so I can call before I go there, this is a great prospect, they only have Nivea and some Banana boat sunblocks here. Then I went to the beach looking for people who uses sunblocks, most of them uses tanning lotions and sprays, maybe they really like to get tanned. Took some pictures also of the crowd, there are people playing soccer, here in Bali they really like soccer so much specially the FIFA WORLD CUP is on going, even the women watch it. Took also pictures of Pizza Hut, Hard Rock Café and Hard Rock Hotel. Then I sat down on the beach for a while to take some rest, there’s this man who’s offering henna tattoo, sobrang kulit, he even thought me as an Indonesian from java. When I said no, lalong nangulit kasi nalaman nyang foreigner ako. But when I ignored everything he says he just walked away. After few minutes I went to the parking to get my motorbike, I only paid 500 rupiah, that’s P 2.976 in our money, its cheap right. Going back home is a quite difficult coz I have to use different route, sometimes I got confused of the statues that are on the roads, I thought that’s the road going back then its not, after asking to local people and almost 1 hour on the road I finally arrived home. While resting Arta texted me that he’s going to the house, after few minutes he arrived, he brought a cd which has the list of distributors, importers, manufacturers suppliers, agents and other services in Bali, he said it can help me in looking what I need in Bali. I started browsing the cd content when my other friend who I met in the internet also suddenly texted if he can come to the house, I texted him in the afternoon informing him that I’m in bali already, luckily he lives about 5 minutes from my house. His name is Made Amier, he owns the PADI Serumpun tourist and travel agency here in Denpasar, Bali. Then he came with his brother, I introduce him to Arta, they told me I’m a wise person coz even I’m still in the Philippines I already got friends here in Bali, I just said I’m not wise, I’m just being pro active. Hehehe.. I told him my purpose here in Bali and maybe he can help me also. I showed him the company profile, the product, the posters, and explained to him the sales kit and also the advantages of being a distributor and what a distributor needs to do with the product, He said he is interested in being a distributor, he also have a friend who works in Circle K and holds a high position, I told him to set an appointment with her so that I can explain further about our product. I said if we can penetrate Circle K it’s very good, coz you will have our product in all of its product, and most of the branches of Circle K is situated near the beach, they have the Dreamland beach, Sanur beach, Legian beach, Kuta beach, Nusa dua beach. These are all tourist spots, he also knows people in different hotels in Bali. I think he is a good prospect as a distributor. Specially he’s here in Bali, he said some of the distributors are in Java and Jakarta. It will be difficult if our distributor will still come to those places, lots of work and time consuming. After long talks, they left the house, its around 11 pm and me and Arta have not taken dinner yet, we went out to find a place to eat, we went to a small store around 10 minutes from the house, Arta ordered fried bean cake and rice and I ordered fried chicken and rice they call it here “Ayam Goreng Lalapan” it’s a home made fried chicken with hot chili sauce, we used our hands to eat here coz Arta said that’s what they normally do in this store. After dinner we went back to the house and Arta went home coz its almost 12am and he still have work tomorrow. I opened the laptop again to browse on the cd which Arta gave me it has 60,000 list of companies and 10,000 list of e mail address, I feel sleepy and its almost 1:30 am I guess I need to sleep now. I listed some of the possible importers already I’ll just have to talk to them or check on their website tomorrow. Goodnight people.

Sick Lonely Boy

June 20, 2006


Good morning people, I just woke up, its 8:30am and I have fever, I didn’t sleep well because I cough a lot, di tumalab ang biogesic and tempra forte, I can’t move very well masakit kasu kasuan ko. Mahirap pala magkasakit ng nag iisa ka, nakakalungkot lalo, pero I need to be strong. This is my job, and I love my job. I’ll just make a soup, I bought instant noodle soup, parang lucky me..


Good afternoon people, here I am still in the house, its cold outside and I still have fever, ano ba to, ngayon pa nilagnat kung kelan malayo at nag iisa, I have to go out because I will send pictures to Mam Mara. I just came from the internet café, ang bagal ng internet connection sa café na un, I have to make the other pictures to a smaller size para mapabilis ang pag attach sa e-mail. Here I am still have fever, I’m sorry boss dennis, di ko ginusto magkasakit, ginagawa ko naman paraan para gumaling ako, may dala naman akong gamot.


Good evening people, I just had dinner, I bought 1 leg chicken curry and 1 leg chicken cooked in soy bean sauce, parang adobo, as usual maanghang ulit, I bought it near my house, its funny, kasi yung tindera wala maintindihan sa sinasabi ko, I ended up using sign language to her, para tuloy kaming pipi na dalawa, after dinner I took some medicines, now I’m taking a rest, I really need to get well tomorrow, bukas hahatawin ko na ang Kuta. Goodnight people.

My First Skype and YM Conference

June 19, 2006

It is still raining outside, I feel cold and having some coughs, it’s a good thing I brought some medicines with me. Bawal magkasakit dito ako lang mag isa.. anyway, I’ll still have to go out because I have to find an internet café that may allow to use laptops, after hours of looking I decided to ask my friend Arta to help me, because some of the people who operates the café don’t understand what I’m saying, its past 12 noon so I texted Arta to meet me in the house so we can have lunch and help me look for an internet café.

LUNCHTIME

Arta took me to a local restaurant just a 10 minute motorbike from the house, it’s a small restaurant but there are many locals pouring in to eat, some are from office, some looks like messengers. Parang pares pares sa atin. Most of the foods here are from chicken meat, but all are spicy, I had 1 chicken leg, chicken gizzard and some vegetables and fanta strawberry for my drinks, Arta didn’t order because he ate lunch in his office before he met me. After eating lunch we took off and look for an internet shop and at last they allowed me to use my laptop.

INTERNET WITH MARA, BRIAN, ARDEN & DENNIS

First time to have longer chats with my superiors, disappointing lang because we weren’t able to talk using the skype and yahoo messenger, only through conference chat. But its ok, I guess next time we can talk to each other too. At least they know that I’m still alive and kicking, hehehe… after some new instructions and reporting I was feeling hungry, outside the café is a small food stall, I ordered “nasi goreng” I thought its made of rice so I ordered, but when it was served to me its made of vegetables, and eggs, plus grilled beef meat, the taste is good with little spice on it, you know I’m getting used to eating spicy food, baka hanapin ko ito pag uwi ko ng Pilipinas, hehehe… while eating, my friend Arta arrived, because I texted him that if he has free time he can meet me there. after Im done with my food we proceeded to a nearby minimart to buy some coffee, cookies and cup noodles, I didn’t know that Arta brought a mini electric stove for me until we got home, he said I will need that to boil water for my coffee. He’s really kind to me. I’m happy that I got a friend like him here. After putting my foods in place he said he has to go home because he is needed in their house.

11:00 PM I don’t know what to do, I’m having fever, I took tempra forte and biogesic already, I don’t know why I have fever maybe because I got wet during the time I’m looking for an internet café, and inuubo nako this morning, I’ll just take a rest now, I really don’t feel good. I hope mawala na ito tomorrow, Goodnight

Exploring Sanur Beach

Third Day, June 18, 2006

June 18, 2006BreakfastI had fried egg, sunny side up and fried rice, some fresh fruits , coffee and banana shake.The fried rice is good, parang yang chaw rice ng hap chan, yung banana shake lang di masyado masarap, di ko alam kung anong klaseng banana ginamit nila, gusto ko kasi matikman lahat e, ayan kahit di masarap ininum, hehehe.. after breakfast I returned to my room to take a bath and fix my things because Arta and his friend is gonna fetch me.12:00 PMArta and friend Jeephy arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Jeephy also has his own motorbike, so we put my other bag at the back of Jeephy’s bike and I rode at the back of Arta. It’s a long drive to the house which I rented but the good thing here is that the roads here are smooth, pure asphalt kaya makinis, bihira lang yung lubak. Before going to the house we stopped by at a bank to exchange some of my dollars, Arta said it is the safest place to exchange money, they even exchange Philippine peso here, mababa nga lang ang rate, after this we went to the house, after fixing everything in the house I suggested we have to eat lunch.its past 2pm already I’m starving already.Arta and Jeephy brought me to a restaurant who serves suckling pig, parang package sya pag umorder ka, may fried pork blood, intestine, 1 stick sate and vegetables, suckling pig tastes like lechon, ganung ganun, malambot sya un nga lang wala silang sarsa ni mang tomas, hehehe.. the crew here are friendly, I even had a chance to have a picture with them. After eating we went to a nearby mall to have a glimpse of it, it’s a small mall, its a Sunday so most of the people here are kids and their parents, after few minutes, Arta said that Sanur beach is just a few minutes away from where we at so I said lets go there so we can see the difference of it from Kuta beach.Here we are at the Sanur beach, it’s a simple beach but it has longer shoreline than Kuta, but most of the people here are locals, no surfers because the water is shallow. But it is windy here, some foreigners go here in the afternoon to sun bath. There are many vendors here selling different foods, I tasted the “Sate” or grilled pork, spring roll, they call it here lumpia also, fried tofu, they call it here tahu, all tastes good but its all spiced up. We also met some Balinese women here, her name is Dora and I forgot her sister’s name, what an interesting name. hahaha… anyway, they are friendly but shy.. Arta said that it is the traits of Balinese women, they are really quiet and shy specially with foreigners. After spending the cool wind of Sanur beach its time to go cause its starting to rain, we go now to Kuta to rent motorbike for me, because staring tomorrow Arta is going to his office, no one will accompany me to go around Kuta. On our way to Kuta we stopped by at a restaurant to have some picture with Balinese waitress standing in front of their restaurant, they’re nice some one even told me “I’ll wait for you here” I wonder why she said that, hehehe…after getting the motorbike , they accompanied me to my house in Sanur, I gave them samples of Beach hut lotion so they can put it on their back packs, by the way I gave Arta 1 piece of 180 ml clear spray, I told him he can use it and make some test spray with his officemates. When we got home, we rested for a while, chat for a moment, they are having fun being with me because they can practice their English, Arta said he learned English language from television shows and English books, they have English subject in high school also. They supposed to go home but they decided to sleep in my room because its raining and its already late, they slept on the floor, they used the blanket on the floor because the floor is cold. Neither one of them want to sleep on the bed. That’s all for today.. wait for my blog again tomorrow, goodnight people.

Meeting my Friend Arta on my 2nd Day

June 17, 20068:00 am, breakfast at Balisani padma, I had omelet, breads, coffee, watermelon shake and bacon na parang ginawang chicharon sa lutong, ok sana sya pero matigas, inubos ko pa din, sayang e. they have many guests here, Australians, Malaysians and Chinese, the front desk officer told me that almost 70% of their rooms are occupied.Lunch timeI’m having lunch at Mcdonalds near Kuta beach, this is the place where I’ll meet my friend here, his name is Arta, he is from Sanur, Denpasar. After having lunch, I went to see the Kuta beach, because Arta will be late, its sand is quite white, there are many Australians here, surfing, sun bathing and eating Indonesian foods. There are many surfing teachers also, they said in 30 minutes you can learn how to stand on the surf board. The are also women offering massage on the beach and henna tattoo, parang nasa Puerto Galera lang ako, kaibahan lang walang nag tatagalog ditto and also surfers, heheI took pictures also of the surfers and some Australians who are sun bathing in the sand, exciting, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng puti na naka topless sa beach… hehehe…Meeting ArtaFinally I met Arta in Mcdonalds, he looks like a Filipino, taller and quite darker than me, we had a little chat, explained to him what are my purpose in going here, he told me about his background also, he’ the youngest of them, he has 3 sisters, all are married, he is still single, he just broke up with his girlfriend, pero sa tingin ko hindi naman sya bading, marunong naman ako umamoy ng bading, hehehe… after some chats, we rode on his motorbike, he helped me find a house to stay, we looked in Kuta area, but some are fully booked, and some are expensive, more than my budget, so we decided to look outside Kuta area, I told him its better to look a rentable place near his place so that in case I will need help it wont be a problem, it’s a good thing he agreed with me, bait no? we went to Denpasar, he said he has a friend there who knows rentable places, iba dito, right hand drive and pag drive, and sobrang dami ng motorbikes, yun kasi pinaka maddaling means of transportation, I asked him if ever I ride a Microlet (small bus) what will I tell the driver where I’m going, he just said, better rent a motorbike, because the bus and Microlet here are only used by locals, the drivers don’t know how to speak English, they will just say Ok! Ok! To you, pretending they understand what you said but actually they didn’t understand you, He also said I might get lost and fooled by the drivers on my fare because I’m a foreigner. I asked him to find me a motorbike that is cheap, and to bargain on the price since I will rate it in a per month basis. It’s a good thing he is kind and honest to me. After 1 ½ hours of looking for a place to stay, we finally found a place, it is a 10-15 motorbike ride from his house, 30-35 minutes motorbike ride to Kuta area.It’s a good place, quiet and peaceful, the owner said that most of her guests are foreigners, Germans, Koreans, Chinese, United Colors of Benetton ba ito??? Most of them are working here, I haven’s seen anyone of them sana mababait, Hehehe.. pero ok yun sakin kasi kung mga local kasama ko dito di kami magkakaintindihan, yung owner nga di marunong mag english buti kasama ko si Arta, translator ko sa kanya, hehehe.Dinner timeWe had dinner here in “Nik Mat” a local carinderia, Nik Mat means to get satisfied, other foreigners also eat here, because they said the food is good. This is one of the cheapest in kuta area, alam kasi ni Arta I need to budget my expenses, by the way, Arta is a vegetarian, dun lang kami di magkasundo sa pagkain, kc ako kinakain ko kahit ano,I had chicken with some spices on it and 1 stick of grilled pork, bbq sa atin but here they call it ”sate” and beef soup, for drink I had this sweet tea in a small bottle, masarap yung chicken sate and beef soup yun nga lang pag inum ko ng sweet tea may ibang lasa, parang may extract ng bulaklak ng sampaguita, inubos ko pa din kasi sayang naman. After dinner Arta accompanied me to the hotel where I’m staying, tomorrow he will fetch me together with his friend to transfer to Sanur, the place where we got a rentable room.Now I’m here in my room at Balisani Padma, I had a tiring day so I will sleep na.. Goodnight people…

Because I’m in the middle of 2 Asian women, on my left is from Jakarta, she has a filipino husband, on my right is like an old maid, I think she’s Chinese, I didn’t talk to her coz I’m afraid she might have the wrong impression of me.Singapore lines has great entertainment for its passengers..Every back of the headrest has a tv monitor, around 6.5-7 inches wide.What’s funny about this, is that I don’t know how to turn it on, specially the controls on my left arm rest. It came to a point that a crew approached me and asked why I called for helped. I said I dint call her, I suddenly realized that a while back I was pressing all the buttons on the controller a while back, hahaha, That’s what caught her attention..Back to the t.v. and controller thing, you know what I did to operate that stuff?I waited my seatmate to open hers so I can copy whatever she’s doing, hahahaha..The FOODFood tastes good and also its served hot, I had bihon, muhlach’s ensaymada, coffee, fruits for dessert and orange juice also.Singapore AirportIts amazing, where can you find an airport with free amenities?

Medyo mabilis din sya kaya when I stepped sa dulo na medyo nasubsob ako, buti nalang wala ako kasunod, airline crews are also friendly and accommodative. Sexy pa ng mga stewardess… hehehehe…FoodThe food is ok, sa dami ng choices di ko alam kakainin ko, they have Mcdonalds, Burger King, of course nag scout ako ng heavy and cheap, meron ng mga ganun sa pinas, so I ended up eating chicken curry with beansprouts and kangkong…The curry is ok, bago sa panlasa ko kc sobrang anghang, sa manila iba ang curry, ditto may spices pa na kahalo di ko ma explain ang lasa pero masarap sya it costed me 7.05 singaporian dollar, di nako bumili ng drinks coz may baon akong 1 liter na water hehehe, tipid tipid talaga…Denpasar airportDisappointed ako here, first, ang tagal ng pila sa immigration, nagpabalik balik ako coz may form palang pipirmahan pa, then wen the time im getting my baggage sa carousel may kumuhang porter, I thought kaya nya kinuha kc he wanted to help me, after nun he is asking me to give him a dollar, as in galit pa sya, of course di ko binigyan sabi ko ako nalang magtutulak ng cart ko.. sira ulo ba sya.. pinoy ata to, wais…Balisani padma hotelIt took me about 25 min to get here, mabait naman yung sumalubong sakin, very acomodative.. taga java sya, Joey is his name, kwento sya about bali and java ng konti…he’s asking if I wanted to have a simple tour sa bali syempre alam ko may bayad to pero di naman ako umoo..
