Re-learning things...




So far two things I am forced to re-learn here:
1. Wash the dishes, the dutch way
2. Ride the bicycle along hi-way

I just learned that hot water is so precious here as clean drinking water is in Philippines. So in washing the dishes, the dutch people have special dish-washing liquid soap that doesn't require rinsing. Strange for me but I just followed what I had to do. Believe me, the dishes don't smell and they are indeed clean. I really had to set aside the filipino practice in this simple chore for a while.

Now regarding the second re-learning. We went back to stores again (i attached some pics our first stop was chocolate store) but this time I have to practice my biking skills. People here normally go around by bicycles. My sister told me I have to get used to riding the bike and familiarize myself with the directions so I can go by my self next time.

I know how to drive bicycle but not on a hi-way. I was praying that God would protect me while riding the bike. It was quite a challenge but by God's grace, we returned home safely. I didn't hurt myself nor hurt anyone along the bike lane.

The Lord is good each day.

Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa Facebook

Last Sunday I watched QTV's Ang Pinaka and couldn't help but laugh and agree with some or most of the reasons why people are 'pasaway' in FB. Honestly, I am pasaway sometimes too but really I'm amazed at how much Filipinos have embraced this social networking site and become part of their daily lives to the point that it become an addiction to some. So guys, here it is the Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa FB  10. The Sympathy Baiter - posting comments that are too emo, inviting attention to self 9. The Obscurist - posting too deep words, cryptic phrases words of wisdom comments 8. The Paparazzo - feeling photo journalist, posting photos without your permission and                                       tagging you without concern if the photo will cause you shame  7.

My First PUSO Day

I am 35, single  (technically)   who have been asked numerous times every February of my life this same generic and sometimes annoying question of what will I do on the 14th? Normally my answer would just be a smile but this year is different. I have an answer, we have an all-girls-sleep-over partey!!! Last Feb14 (on a Friday, Payday, Valentines), while the Metro is cursed with heavy traffic both on streets and in trains (ya! people-traffic), I stayed at home the whole day to prepare for the night. My housemates and I, invited our girl friends to have a Valentines party at home and we called it P.U.S.O. Don't ask me what the acronym mean because I keep forgetting, the S though stands for Singles. See my pang-elementary wall decor...We even have our Love wall... Anyway, the ladies started coming by 5pm. The program was simple: eat, have a game and movie marathon. We had dinner, talked, laughed and ate as much sweets as we wanted (imagine 10+ women talking and laughing...t
