Just got back from Argentina yesterday! It was really really amazing -- the weather, the music, the FOOD. And of course I got the best souvenir one can ever ask for: a tan!

Anyways, going there made me really appreciate being a Filipino -- say whatever you want to say, but we have the best of all worlds. They say we sing like black people, but we're also conservative like Asians, and passionate like Latinos. Plus, the last week I have been able to utilize whatever Spanish I had in my system. It honestly felt fantastic.

Also, being able to have steak and red wine 5 times over a span of 48 hours is amazing. For each meal, I had tenderloin, t-bone, rib-eye... every cut imaginable, and yet they were all good and reasonably priced, Argentina being a major exporter of beef. And the Malbec wines that are of domestic origin complimented the beef well. It got so bad that I had to pay 15USD to use the gym at the hotel, because I knew that if I didn't do it, my arteries are going to suffer.

Sadly, I'm back at work today on a Saturday because the trip put a dent on my savings plan -- my whole body's still sore from traveling, walking the entire city of Buenos Aires, as well as playing volleyball and soccer under the scorching sun in Argentina. Good times.

All in all, it was a fantastic trip. I wish I wasn't stuck at work so I can post some pictures, but I'm probably going to do that on Facebook instead, so be on the lookout. I wish every body is having the time of their lives where ever they are, living every single day like it's their last because my limbs and ribs are aching, and I feel older and older each day.

Think about that, and I'm 22 turning 23... I'm sure you're not too far away from that.
