8 Random Facts With Special Focus on My Recent Move
1. I think airports are some of the most interesting places in the world. They're good places for people-watching. And in Manila, there were thousands of people to watch at the pick-up area. It is a loud and noisy and hot place.2. I met my roommate in the airport. We decided to be roommates there. Not really but it sounds pretty funny.
3. I have recently acquired a consortium of pets. A dog, two cats, multiple fish, and a couple of geckos that like the bugs in my house.
4. I LOVE the pool on campus. I will be spending many hours there. It was not there when I graduated. A new development that I'm in love with!
5. I had yummy food at a little place called Lemongrass. It might be an Asian replacement for Yes Thai but nothing will ever top Yes Thai.
6. I had my passport photo taken at a Filipino-style photo booth, ie. there was absolutely no notice that there was even a photo booth in the building. In fact, the guard at the door, in the same lobby, did not know that the ONLY other guy in the lobby was manning a photo booth. We had to wait for 5 minutes for the camera batteries to charge, then were led to the stairwell for the white background, picture taken, waited another few minutes for the picture to be processed on the printer. So fantastically random that it just made my day!7. I discovered that my cousin Kevin's 8-hour traffic direction class for surveyors was a waste. Kev, all you need to know is how to shoo people off of the road. On my way home tonight, a work crew was working directly in the center of the road. There were barriers around the workzone but one guy was sitting on a bit of concrete in front just swatting people to the sides. He was wearing no reflective material nor was he holding any "slow down" sign. Just sitting there, swatting cars.
8. I'm certain that all the alum friends that I have are jealous of the amazing "V" food that I get to eat. Today's fare was AMAZING cinnamon rolls, yummy fruit, rice, Filipino chopsuey, pancit incredibiliosa, lumpia (not banana - I'm going to find some of that tomorrow), and pork
barbeque. Too good!

Becca! I'm so proud of you for making it! Reading through your 8 random things makes me miss it there. Tell me everything. I'm really curious as to the teacher aspect of Faith now- never really thought about that before. :-) Please! Give my parents a hug and the French's!
1) Regarding the previous comment . . . I really hope "French's" is mustard. (sorry, was that totally inappropriate?!)
2) definitely keep the geckos . . . and the cats. Any enemy of bugs and rodents is a friend of ours!
blessings,
lorraine
Becca, you're right, this alum is definitely jealous of the V food! Make sure you really enjoy it for me. And the pool! Whatever will you do without having to walk to the White dorm anymore?
love you friend!
