nakakaloka... spanish ang dashboard ng blogger.. heehee...spanish actually yung language ng buong pc at internet dito..malamang.the title of this entry is `quìero`..meaning `want`in the first person subjective.parang i want.ganun.hmmm...last sunday, we went to this mall here to eat lunch. sa mcdo pa nga e...hehehe.. kakaiba yung hamburgers nila dito.malalaki e. at yung burger patty nila made of real cow meat.kaya super busog ka kahit isang burger lang kainin mo.then we ate icecream. helado in spanish. silent h yan a... bsta anything na may h dito silent..icecreams here are soooooooooo good.as in.i`m so nervous to go to school next week...golly.of course, my teachers and my classmates will be speaking in spanish...now, how would i be able to understand them?and, afs philippines requires me to acquire at least a B...tall order?not so tall but it will be difficult since the lessons will be discussed in spanish...if spanish is written, it`s not that big of a problem for me.but the problem is that when it is spoken.people here speaks fast.and i can`t understand them most of the time.`no one can blame me for being so nervous and everything..btw, they use uniforms here, too.i was shocked because i didn`t know that.their uniforms are very similar to japanese uniforms..very similar but NOT identical.my host sisters`uniforms are a white polo shirt with dark-colored tie, short skirt, cute socks that bunch down, and black shoes.i really like the socks...what i dislike is the skirt.it is too short for my liking but what can i do...??i don`t know about my uniform because i will be going to a different school...hopefully, the skirts are longer...hah! i wish.anyway, people here are really fond of teas...they don`t like juice so much.and they also have rice here.just different from the rice back there...rice here can be eaten without anything else because it is already really tasty..then, they put some mayo and cheese on top of the rice and voila!hehehe...yummy...there`s no curfew here. kids can go trotting at night and no one will mind.last night, about 11pm, my host sisters and i walked around the block...and i saw several things along the way.there`s this car with a couple making out inside...there`s this man walking his dog... (at night.. yeah.)there`s this couple walking... (just walking. hehe.)hmm... kissing is their way of greeting here.you say `hola`then give a kiss on the cheek to greet anyone.kisses are abundant.not on the mouth, though. only on the cheeks.girl to girl, boy to boy, girl to boy...a kiss on the cheek here is similar to our `hello`back there.btw, high school musical is also famous here.rihanna, justin timberlake, black eyed peas, etc... they are all famous here.the movie `the incredibles`, i was shocked to watch it because it was in spanish.everything is in spanish here.total spanish immersion, as i say.luckily, spanish doesn`t mess up with one`s english, unlike japanese.japanese language messes up with one`s ability to speak good english.yeah.another thing, people here loves to eat bread and crackers...and they also sleep really late.about 12 to 2 in the morning. and that`s during weekdays, mind you...then, they sleep in the afternoon after coming home from school...i remember something that señor pablo told me.`we don`t have a sense of time`yeah. that`s what he said...and that is true.now, i believe that the filipinos obtained our so-called filipino time from our spanish heritage...one example, my two sisters are going to go back to school for their gymnastics in physical education at 3:30pm...it`s already 4 and they`re still here at home...yeah...btw, my hostmom made me smell a little leaf last night..she told me that it was òregano`i told here that oregano back in the philippines is large and rounded and succulent..you know what, when you go somewhere wherein things aren`t like what you were used to, don`t think of it as better or worse...it is just different.it`s not actually the place that makes a place worthwhile...it`s the people living in the place...so till here..btw, ciao is not spanish. sorry. i was wrong.it should be chao... then you kiss again on the cheek of whoever you`re saying byebye to...so, chao!
