Talking

My cebuana friend and I were walking in one of the busy streets of Al-khobar one night kasi nga hilig namin mag-shopping. Nung mag-salah na o prayer time biglang may humintong police car at sinigawan kami ng muttawa ng, "Madam, cover your hair!" Nagulat kami. Kasi pinays naman do not cover their hair sa Khobar. Buti na lang nilapitan kami ng asawa ng cebuana friend ko. So ayun, na-realize ng mga Saudi na pinay pala kami. Uhm? (Take note: pareho kasi kami ng cebuana friend ko na malaking babae, parang Araba ba. Tapos, I really look like one sabi nga ng iba. hehehe)

My most embarassing experience here was during my first summer here..

It's really too hot, and i opened my umbrella (which is very usual in the Philippines) while walking. Everybody was looking at me, and I wonder why. Then one of the taxi driver shouted at me, "Where's the rain!?". Oopppsss, they are not using umbrellas here during summer hehe.

Minsan nadala ako ng emosyon sa kantang 'TO LOVE U MORE'
May birit yun na: OOOOOOOOH! I'm the one who wants 2 luv u mooooore....eeeowk!!!

Napapiyok ako sabay bukas ng elevator....NAKUPO!
Tawanan ang mga Taiwanese sa loob!
