last day

haven't blogged the past few days because i was either shopping or sleeping. nonevents, since that's what i have been doing since i got here. tuesday was fun though, my father picked me up in four seasons and we went to his house in daly city. faye and francia brought me to the mall in serramonte and we got some kickass blingbling namebelts. after shopping, we stayed in the house and watched elektra together, me and my father's second family. i didn't feel like an outsider, they we're all warm and welcomey. my brother picked me up half past midnight.

that's about it, most days were spent for last minute shopping, making sure that all of the bilins are taken cared of. oh and kuya jr was kind enough to drive me to rache's place this morning and he treated us to breakfast at marie callender's.

haha. boo boo. we were talking in tagalog about the salad bar and how unattractive the arrangement was, like everything was thrown into a short stretch of broccoli grass. all snide comments within the earshot of the mexican waiter who was fixing the salad bar. much to our suprise he came to our table halfway through the meal and asked us how the food was, in tagalog! apparently he can speak and understand a bit (more like a lot) of tagalog because he also works in a magnolia factory and most of the employees there speak tagalog. he then went on talking about filipino food, pambobola, and of course, women. he was nice, really, and i appreciate the effort to make friends and practice his tagalog although he didn't know when to stop. hehehe. that would make you think twice now before opening your mouth and bashing stuff just because you think they won't understand. :p

.

6 more hours before our plane leaves for home. i must say this is also home, with my mom and my brother around. and probably, this is where i'll be in half a year. but right now, i'm excited (and just plain exhausted) and i can't wait to get back to my sunny yellow room in antipolo.

i guess this will be the end of starfishoutofwater, since i will be reunited with my sea again very soon. thank you pinole (and you for reading), it's been fun.

i might visit soon, wicked's coming in august. hasta luego.
