We are now in Xiamen

We left Shanghai at 730am. We are now at the Mandarin grand ballroom of the Yeohwa Hotel in Xiamen waiting for the arrival of President Noynoy.
We arrived in two planes. Security is very tight, each and every bag and person are searched from head to toe. I felt violated after the female security ran her hands on the whole stretch of my legs. I am wearing a short dress. It was completely unnecessary because what could I possibly hide beneath my skin and inside my skinny legs?

Joaquin Co, President of Watercare International. He brought his Ipad with hundreds of pictures of his big time and celebrity clients such as Lea Salonga, Lucio Tan, Korina Sanchez, etc. He sells water filter for the whole house. Even the water from the kitchen, labahan and shower are filtered and become mineral water. So one can drink while taking the shower???
