Singapore

Friday, Sept. 25th 2010:
                Today we flew to Singapore with Uncle Rich, who sat back in Economy with us… Lol. ;) It was a pretty quick flight and such a nice airline. We had fun. We got to drive on the wrong side of the road and it kind of FREAKED me out. Lol. Then we went to a SUPER BORING business dinner ;). Aunt Di and I ended the Dinner with a Giggle attack. We also had GREAT fun in the AMAZING swimming pool at the top of our hotel. Which, By the way,  is the most AMAZING hotel I have EVER stayed in!! So Beautiful!

                Today Aunt Di and I spent most of the Morning in the room getting ready and relaxing. Then we went and ate lunch at a cool Japanese restaurant where they cooked us an AMAZING 8 course meal right in front of us. Then we walked around the mall there and attended the first part of the race, but walked back alone because I didn’t feel well, so me and Aunt Di were Bums together in the room. Lol.

                Uncle Rich left for Denver early so, Aunt Di and I relaxed in the room again until Lunch then we ate lunch at a super fancy restaurant with the business peeps and had LITERALY 12 courses. I was almost ready to pop. Then Aunt Di and I walked to China Town and saw some cool shops where I bought the CUTEST dress. Then we went to the Race for a little while, but those business men ticked us off so we left. Lol.

                Today we ate Breakfast and flew home. The boys were excited to see us. Lol. I would be to, we are AWESOME!
Tuesday, Sept. 29th 2010
Today I cleaned out Aunt Di’s fridge. And Rodello’s son, Jerald, came over and we went to Jollibee and Dairy Queen. He is such a cute boy. Then I found this cool little station in the mall that as selling fans and embroidering names on them it was Amazing how quickly she did it. The lady was so talented.
                While Rodello and Di got Rodello’s Plane ticket to go home,  so he could visit his dad, I played Bubbles with Jerald. It made one Heck of a mess in the hall way of the mall… But, we had fun! He is such a cute little boy!

                Di went to the hospital to see why she was so sick. We thought that my mom had tried to call and it was the middle of the night in the US, so I got worried and called home and it had ended up that Di spelled my name wrong and so when I butt dialed her she thought that it was my dad… Lol. So, I ended up going home and Scaring the crap out of my mom in the middle of the night. Sorry mom.

Villa Escadaro!

Tuesday, Sept. 22nd 2010
                                Today we drove the car to Villa Escadaro; it is this cool resort place. (With a twist) Lol. We walked through an Old Catholic church that was made into a museum. It was cool to see all of the old artifacts from the past. We then took a Caribou ride to their lake. It was awesome, we got sang to the whole way… Lol. We then rode canoes on the lake. Aunt Di and I in one, Rodello in the other. We Raced… and we WON!! Are you surprised?? Two McNeill’s at their best. Lol. We then went and played in the pool. While INNOCENTLY playing around, I was approached (to put it lightly) by a white man and a Philippine woman that were enraged. The man claimed that Aunt Di and I were making un of the way he was rowing… He was a little sensitive.. Lol. I told him that I didn’t know what he was talking about and that I would never say such things about another person. Lets just say that he didn’t believe me.
The man, “Does it make you feel better making fun of another person?”
Me, Very confused, “Sorry? I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Don’t act so innocent, I can see right through your act honey.”
“Um, I really don’t have any idea what you are talking about…”
“ We heard you out on the lake making fun of the way we row, sorry that we are not as good at it as you are.”
“I would not say such things” by this time Rodello had the accusations under investigation…  Lol.
“Oh, Ok. So I am just the crazy white guy coming over here just to pick a FIGHT, because I have nothing better to do than to just waste my time on you people.”
“Excuse me??”  I had no idea what to do in this situation, but all was well, my protectors were all over the situation. While all I could do was stutter in bafflement Di pulled both of them aside and let them know what a great person I was and that it was all just a misunderstanding. (Ahh, shucks...) Lol. Seriously, do we have signs on our backs saying, “Please pick a fight with me?” Lol.
                After  we settled the giggles about the “crazy white guy” (his words not mine). We dried off and got to eat lunch at the bottom of a Beautiful waterfall. So Calm, and relaxing, I Could have stayed all day.
After our VERY eventful day and Aunt Di and Uncle Rich attended a business dinner, and Rodello and I walked over to the Mall and got dinner and I found some really awesome Jewelry for only $3 a piece. It was SUCH an AMAZING DAY!!
Wednesday, Sept. 23rd 2010:
                I rode the Motorcycle BY MYSELF to the mall with Rodello and Di on the other bike! It was great FUN!! Except for the part where I thought that I had lost Aunt Di and Rodello… Whoa that gave me a mini Heart attack. But all is well.  
Thurs. Sept. 24th 2010:
                Aunt Di had her trainer come and give me a Pilates session… Holy. I have never been more worked out in my LIFE. It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do!! I am thoroughly convinced that he WAS, in fact, trying to KILL ME!! Lol. The rest of the day I packed for SINGAPORE!!

Mabuhay Deseret


Holy! OK… Um.  Crazy the way time flies… where to start?
Sunday, Sept. 20th 2010
 Aunt Di was sick all day in bed with a fever. Uncle Rich and I took care of her… and watched movies and hung out. Aren’t we awesome nurses? Lol.

Mabuhay Deseret
We drove the bikes to Mabuhay Deseret, which is this cool place that the church set up, for kids that need major surgeries that can’t afford it. (I believe)  The kids come and stay while they get their operations and while they are recovering. Most of them come from far away Provinces so, the church set it up so that they can stay in a comfortable place while away from home. Some of the kids have been there for more than 3 months.  The ages of the kids I met were from 2 to 14. About 6 kids all together.
 I also got to drive the motorcycle home on the HIGHWAY! It was AWESOME. Except or the part where I had to switch Edison when we saw all of the police at the light… Lol.  Also, a man at the stop light got out of his car and stared yelling at us saying we scratched his car with our bikes... untrue. The best part was when we pulled over the side of the road and Rodello drug him out of the car by his neck and shoved him onto the side walk and asked him to show him where the damage was. There was none. Aunt Di says that lots of people drive around trying to get money out of people. Both Rodello and Edison were AWESOME!! Coolest thing I have ever seen. SERIOUSLY.. BEST.DAY.EVER. Also we went to Edison’s house and met his family and sang Karaoke. It was a blast! They are such a cute family, I am very glad I got to meet them.
