Busy, busy months. Had an exciting trip down Zamboanga City right after my May birthday to retrace my roots, visit dead relatives and do some bargain hunting in a barter center for formal batik malong. Returned to Manila with an awesome bang and amusing family high-drama, involving unhinging certain relative(s) sanity by an innocuous photo which may have trigged a massive load of guilt-trip on their part, and became essentially a way of thumbing my nose at their shenanigans. Mudslinging from their part ensued over the INTARWEBZ, which became a LOL-tastic source of comedy here in the capital among other family members.
(Ooh, they might be reading! Please Google "unhinged", "innocuous" and "shenanigan", if you must!)
(And, why did I derive much amusement about the whole thing? Because I wasn't the one who got embarrassed nor forcibly ejected from the hotel by hotel security and MILITARY PERSONNEL, for starters.)
Busy, busy months before and after the adventure. Wrapped up summer class (taught senior undergrads/Chem majors), began a new semester (teaching Science and Society, if for only a few months), running to and fro government/diplomatic offices to arrange my travel documents (yay, to Belgium!), among other things.
Just a short post for tonight. Am sharing the results of a Jane Austen quiz:
