I've always been a late person, anyone who knows me knows that. I can never be on time for anything. That's what I'm known for, being late. One of the reasons I knew I was going to enjoy myself was because Filipinos are known for being late. But let me tell you, Filipinos run on their own clock. Not 10-15 late I mean 1-2 HOURS late. For almost everything...
Here's a story.
So last weekend, we were supposed to go to Bicol with other exchange students..but because the coordinator was LATE we couldn't go. Instead William and I organised a way to meet up with another Excahnge from Brasil, Vinny at his house 2.5 hours away. So that evening my host Tita and Tito said they were picking us up before 8 AM on Saturday but they came at 10AM. We were late.
Monday following that weekend we were to be picked up before 12PM but they didnt come until 4PM. While we were waiting, we ordred McDonalds which DELIVERS!!! And it took 1 hour..
This weekend while in MAnila we ordered pizza..it took 2 hours, we got it past Midnight and they wouldnt give it for free! Ahh, Filipino Time is Frustrating!
