It's warm here today. Everyone is showing off their skin so that they'll have a touch of the sun on them. Of course, even way back in the Philippines, I don't do that, so I went out with my RBR shirt.

Mom and I went to Swansea town and had a leisurely walk along its busy streets and under the sunny sky. What I like here in Swansea is that even though the sun is up there, casting its warm rays on every creature possible, the damp air never fails to make me feel cool. Unlike in the Philippines where the air makes my body sticky.

It was really different here, just take the bus stops for an instance. Well, I'm very satisfied with the discipline drivers have here. I can't help but compare them to the drivers in the Padre Faura (Ermita, Manila, Philippines)! There's no need to explain why. :)

Anyway, today is also my first time to top-up (LOAD) my 3mobile sim and that stupid vodaphone broadband. Why stupid, you ask. Because all I can do with that internet connection is to check my facebook, a little chat ... and that's it. BORING. Even loading up your sim card here is totally different. There's no autoload retailers, you have to buy vouchers (equivalent to cards but here, they are in receipts) or you have to pay in credit card. Oh, I really miss Philippines!

There's lots of stores here, too. and there are more stuff to choose from. i can't help but to think that those shoes i saw on a stall exactly looks like the one I saw in Divisoria the last time I bought my boots. Mom reckons those shoes came from Divisoria, too, and I would rather agree than to say otherwise.

Before we went to the bus stop going back home, I bought burger and fries at BurgerKing. Actually, i never had the chance to buy a Whooper back in the Philippines, so I tried it here and got myself so so so full.
