It was windy and drizzling this morning. I was actually awakened by the wooshing sound of the wind. If I am in the Philippine, I would think that there's typhoon. But today is just as usual as any "maambon" day.
Instead of walking to school, Vince and I took the bus. Takot kasi akong mabasa kami. Kahit na may water-repellant clothes, gum boots at raincoat pa. Never mind if the bus fare is $2.40 ($1.50 for me and $.90 for the young lass), what's more important is the we don't get wet. Ganyan ang mga Asians, takot mabasa (baka kasi dumami pag-nadampian ng tubig, hehehe). Bat ko nasabiang mga asian? Aba'y sila lang ang nakita kong nagpapayong. Yung ibang mga older kiwi kids, ni walang dalang jacket habang naglalakad sa ulan. Naka-sweatshirt at shorts lang. At hindi lang iisa ang nakita ko. Halos lahat ng nadaanan kong puting papasok sa Westlake (boy's school) ay ganon ang get-up.
Sa mga papunta pa lang dito, don't forget to bring raincoats and water-repellant pants for your kids. Yung gum boots, dito nyo na lang bilhin. Mas cute ang mga available dito. I got Vince a pair for $12. Spiderman pa yon.

Hi Jinkee!
Maganda daw dyan sa Westlake School, I e-mailed an inquiry about mid-year enrolment for my son pero nag-decline sila, baka daw 2007 pa.
Ingat sa ulan, madali tayong sipunin - ang mga pakeha yata matibay sa ulan, lalo na yung mga British dahil sanay sila sa wet & cold weather.
rgds,
