Pay attention, class! March 22, 2010
Here are some lessons I have learned recently:
1. If there is Dr. Pepper in Manila it has so far eluded me. I am however, if anything, persistent so it won’t escape my clutches for long.
2. There is a taxi conspiracy. Everyday when I leave work, the one taxi that is empty at 5:15ish cruises by me right before I am in view. Oh yes, I can see it…but it cannot see me. It’s a cruel little game but I just expect it now. Right before I am to the main street…there it goes….everytime.
3. I need to be more careful in public transportation. While passing money from another passenger to the driver, I accidentally yanked out some hair of the lady beside me. I apologized. She said nothing. She was probably thinking “stupid white girl” Haha
4. “When in Rome” is a waste of 180 pesos
5. I’m still not a morning person.
6. Walking by pirated DVD stands almost everyday is seriously wearing on my will power
7. My Tagalog is not growing much but my desire to learn it is!
8. Manila. Still having a great time!
I always have to say Tagalog twice cuz the first time I say it I say “Tag-a-long” hahaha. Glad to hear you are having a great time!! And I have to admit, I succumbed to the pirated DVD culture several times.
