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

Thanksgiving

This is I think my first thanksgiving away from home. Surprisingly, I spent it with mostly white people, definitely a first for me. I was invited to one of the fulbright student's house and got a chance to meet some other fulbrighters. They're all pretty cool. sorry for the lack of pictures, most of them are on my facebook and for some reason my account is not cooperating with me. Anyway, we did a potluck and I made stuffing from scratch. Let me just say I didn't realize you needed an oven for it when I volunteered. I had my first experience with an oven that needed to be lit with a match. I was quite afraid that I would blow myself up, but somehow it was successful and my vegetarian stuffing was pretty yummy. During dinner, we all gave thanks to this and that but i think everyone was just mostly thankful that we were able to have thanksgiving together instead of letting the holiday slip by.

Although there were a couple of accidents involving broken glass, we still made most of the evening. After one injured party was escorted to the ER (he's fine) we all made our way to the bar to end the evening.
