On Becoming Filipina in 10 months...

Islands=27 So now that I'm spending about 10 months in the Philippines, I'll be living the Manila life, reconnecting with my extended family and hopefully learning my Tagalog. I'll also be tallying how many times people ask me if I have a boyfriend and how times they tell me I'm fat. McFattie: 14 McSingle: 22

just met my "roommate"

This morning, the water was still being funky. I turn on the faucet and it spurts. I had to take another bucket shower. While I was doing so, I caught a 6-legged peeping tom. One of those supersized post-apocalyptic-nuclear-holocaust-surviving 2 inch roaches. After screaming bloody murder for a few seconds, I realized that there was no help to be found. I managed to maim the bugger with a toilet bowl brush. Then I continued my bucketshower.

That must have been a strange moment realizing you were screaming for nobody.. Maybe kind of like when toddlers discover they're having a fit in an empty room, that sudden awareness of a new independence.

Then you go find the toilet brush.
