things that have kept me busy the whole month
tomorrow after church, my family and i will be going to manila to bring
my aunt and two cousins to the airport. they will be moving to the
states, where they will be staying for a very long time. boxes, packed.
despedida party, finished. teardrops, shed (although i probably still
have some more in store for the airport).
by tuesday night, i will no longer have any aunts or cousins in the country. this makes me feel very alone =(
i never thought of us as your typical filipino family. we don't have a huge wall hanging of running horses in our living room (decor which i've always found kinda icky), and for the most part we watch cable instead of channels 2 or 7. but then again, i guess in some ways we are. i mean, my whole extended family lives in the US. it's sad, and in some ways i think it can't be helped, but still, how filipino is that?

summer in la union isn't so bad, although i did originally plan to get a job as a starbucks barista. instead, i taught 10-12 year old kids at church for a week. so i got to practice my teaching skills and meet a lot of kids. and i got to meet people from church whom i didn't get to meet before because i was away the whole year.
after that, i took badminton lessons at this badminton place three minutes away from our house for two weeks. at badminton, i got to meet even more kids, and for once i was kinda glad that i looked younger than my age. hahaha. but it was fun, and i did learned a lot.
there. just wanted some reassurance that i spent the past month in a semi-productive way. ka-OC-han.

i love being home, but i kinda miss alone time. i guess it's because the whole house is so busy right now, but i can't even finish this journal entry without at least three different people bursting into the library and interrupting my solitude. arrggghhhh.
