After paying Delta over six hundred dollars for a one way ticket to SFO, I didn’t want to pay them a dollar more. I refused to rent an ear phone for two bucks and another $6 or $8 to watch a movie.
I also didn’t order food. I just had peanuts, tiny pretzels and iced water.
The five and a half-hour flight to SFO was comfortable. There was no passenger in the middle seat kaya walang kauntugan ng braso.
It was too cold inside the plane, I must have made 8 trips to the toilet. pero napansin ko, bakit ako lang ang nawi-wee-wee? Yung iba naman, never na tumayo. I was very popular, they were all looking at me after my fourth trip. Siguro takang-taka sila.
Bigla kong na-miss yung mga anay sa bahay namin.
Parang kinain ng anay itong horse.
My luggage was already on the conveyor as soon as I arrived at the baggage claim area.
Oyen left me her Burberry, Blueberry, Blackberry.
It took me a while to figure out how to make a call. I called my sister for my sundo.
In 10 minutes, my brother in law, Bong, arrived.
Napa sabak agad sa byahe itong si Victorinox. Hello, you’re now in Cali, my second home.
Tataba na naman ako dito. Aileen prepared Bangus sisig.
She has perfected the Binangonan dish “pinugutan”.
Pinugutan kasi yung hipon na maliliit, tinatanggal ang ulo, tapos dinidikdik para yung katas ihahalo mo rin dun sa sabaw pampalasa. That makes the soup orangey. Pero there’s no small shrimps here in America, malalaki lang.
Meron pa kaming halo-halo
Washing dishes is America’s version of manicure. Makes my nails very clean.
They have four dogs. This is Twinkle’s sister.
Couldn’t help but miss my parents every time I stepped into this shower. My father prepared baths for my mother in this bathroom. My father mixed the water — hot and cold, to get the perfect lukewarm temperature my mom wanted. Hindi sa shower, kundi sa timba. At nakaupo ang mama pag naliligo na de-tabo.
