LAX…so far

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Okay its lunch break so i have like time to spare….its not like people here actually take lunch breaks..everybody is so busy….but well i figured if i dont take a break i won’t function anymore…

lack of sleep, lack of coffee (never liked brewed kasi), lack of shopping hahahaha!

okay so, i’ve been here in LA for a week now… grabe i cannot believe its only been a week, seems longer than that already! but so far, all i’ve seen is the airport, the LA Convention Center, the office and the house…well, that and chinatown where we had dimsum for breakfast! but it was a good place, food really tasted good….

it’s funny coz we weren’t given the chance to be "jetlagged" at all! hehehe. we have so many groceries when we got here, so many meats and poultries and fishes sa ref but we barely opened the ref at home! no time to just stay at home and cook. grapes, milk, cheese rolls and castanas are our constant companion the past few days..

last Saturday and SUnday was the Fil - Ame Exhibit, the main reason why we’re here actually…it went well.. grabe, pinoys are so hard to deal with talaga, irregardless of where they are…some became too proud pa nga just because they are here already…but what can i do di ba? after the exhibits we just go home to tired to move and slepy for we haven’t adjusted to the time yet…but i am having a blast! kahit pagod pagod..Sunday nite, last day of the exhibit, my relatives ( papa side) went there, it was fun parang mini reunion na din. they picked me up, couldnt decide if we were having sushi or chinese or Filipino food… until finally decided to go to Tito Pepe’s house and order Thai instead. good thining. more relaxed and rest for me! and i got to call the Philippines!!!!

this week we’ll stay at the office lang, yesterday was a long day! but it was good pa din.. i got to talk to my kuya alvin and man, i can’t wait for august to end so i can go to chicago and have my 2 weeks vacation na!!!! i miss my cousins their and grabe, they’ve been calling me nonstop as if im not gonna go there. i still don’t have a local number here but hopefully later today i can get one already. it costs so much sa roaming! ( guys forgive me if im talking nonstop, ive been infront of the computer for the longest time and i really just want to talk people here are so busy bawal ang tsismisan!)

but i’m not complaining… i just really can’t wait to go on vacation. and my Gosh, i don’t know what will happen sa Pinas but it sure doesn’t look good from here…. i pray all will end well… im sure it will….

i miss my sisters! nothing beats going home and having some girls to talk to who are a bit close my age…going home and being able to watch tv and just lounge around… for the first time in my life, i understand and believed how some people say that they’ve been in that country for years and yet haven’t seen what’s out there… i;m actually experiencing that now… although i met a lot of Filipino’s here, and they say they still want it here coz everybody is equal… no matter the title or the position they call each other by the first name. unlike sa atin, "titles" are very important…yeah they do have a point….

during the time that i had to visit clients sa Filipino areas, a lot of Pinoys there are really nice. they don’t know me, but soonest they find  out i just got here they invite you for lunch, dinner or whatever. sabik din sila sa kapwa pinoy eh, maski sabihin mong parang Manila na sa LA coz everywhere you go puro pinoy makikita mo, iba pa din pag galing sa atin… but they are nice. during the exhibit we had to stay at tita’s friends house coz its nearer the convention center and they are really nice. grabe the hospitality of pinoys talaga, nothing compares to that.

anyways, i need to go back to work now… hopefully ill be able to upload pictures soon. just really dont have the time. naks, busy girl hahahaha!

its funny even up to now you never stop to amaze me. carry on lang dear. good luck!

i miss my girls!
