Laughter...Does It Get Any Better
You know I have always wanted to start a blog and share my life experiences and maybe even some of my infinite wisdom (oops...did I say wisdom). Well...some will say it is. Let me throw this against the wall and see if it sticks.
I am an American and I have been living in the Philippines for about four months now. The Filipino people are a very unique people, what we take for granted they cherish.
I have seen and had many very funny day to day experiences. Let me share with you what I have seen and observed over the past few months. I noticed this in my first day. Why...I don't know.
For instance...the men here do not grow much facial hair, but if they even have one single hair growing from their chin, they nurture it and grow it to it's fullest. I have seen men with one or two hairs on their chin that are six inches long. I think they must put moose on it because there is no way that it could be that straight on it's own. Then there is the other extreme. I had a boy who lives downstairs come up and ask me for a razor...for what I asked, and he said to shave. I said shave what... He wanted to shave that his whiskers off...I said geez...just pull them out, but he was adamant about shaving it, so I gave him a razor. He then asked for after shave lotion.
In my following pages I will share with you the funny, sad and serious experiences that I have come across.
But don't get me wrong...these people are a very loving and respectful. They respect their elders (yes, even me being from different country) very much as we should in the United States. I have never had so many doors opened for me or been called sir so many times.
Please post any comments...yes, good or bad. I would love to hear your comments or stories.
