Its been 5 days since I got home. So, yes I AM BACK.
I apologize for not calling or texting since the time I arrived. For those who know me, I don't use my phone like a normal person. My phone can be low in battery for weeks and I wouldn't care. I have to change that habit since I have to communicate and shit like that in college. Bagong buhay.
There are 3 boxes in my room right now. I'm packing. My closet is empty except for a few clothes and my shoes have been cut down to 6 pairs. I'm stalling to pack up my books. I'll be so sad when I go through my high school stuff. I'll be bring my English manual and a few lp's with me tho. I'm sure they will be of help in college. I only have a few weeks to spare thats why I need to pack right away.
Okay haha that just made me laugh. I NEED TO PACK RIGHT AWAY. Haha. I need to pack. I need to pack. Im packing. Im packing my clothes. Im packing my shoes and I'm waiting to pack my books. Shit, that kinda sounds scary. HAHA. I just love pinoy humor. Dont you?
Anyways, I still have alot of packing to do. Please excuse me now.
Packing,
Nica
Trivia: Did you know that Jesse Mcartney co-wrote Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis? How unlikely.

Visa ni Lolo
The story below is a true story taken from The Philippines Star written by Boo Chanco. I read it as an email not so long ago. Its a good read. Enjoy!
A 70-year old 'lolo' from the province was accompanied by a grandson to the US Embassy in Manila
for his VISA interview.
The lolo spoke not a word of English so the grandson translated for him. The Consul told the young
man to ask his grandfather why he wanted to go to the States.
"Bakit daw ho ninyo gustong pumunta sa Amerika?" The grandson translated.
"Sabihin mo gusto kong makita yung mga anak ko doon."
"He said he wants to see his children there."
Fair enough, that's what the lolo's application indicated.
The Consul had another question. "Ask him why does he have to go there? Why can't his children just
come and visit him here?"
The grandson translated this in Tagalog.
Lolo replied: "Sabihin mo kasi dito pinanganak yung mga anak ko.
Nakita na nila ang Pilipinas. Gusto ko namang makita ang Amerika bago ako mamatay."
(Translation: "Tell him, my children were born here. They've seen the
Philippines already. I just want to see America before I die.")
The HEARTLESS Consul was unimpressed as he declared, devoid of any emotion, that he was rejecting
the visa application "because the applicant was unable to speak any word of English."
"Reject daw yung visa ninyo kasi hindi daw kayo marunong mag-Ingles."
The lolo was equally unimpressed. "Sabihin mo ito sa kanya at huwag na huwag mong papalitan ang
sasabihin ko:
"Putang ina niya, bakit siya nandidito eh hindi naman siya marunong mag
Tagalog! ?"
Translated, "He said: You son of a bitch, how come you are here... you do not know how to speak in
Tagalog!?"
Taken aback, sense of humor still intact, the consul relented and approved lolo's visa application
in pronto.
Go LoLo...Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!!
