Xmas in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur

Back from Narvacan!  It was great and overwhelming at times.
Boring and irritating at others.  
I’m a city girl at heart,
but I’m happy I went and looking forward to visiting in the future.
I should process and deconstruct this experience… but not now.
For Xmas I got a keychain and over 30 random bug bites.
Check out the pics.

Pictures from Xmas in the province!

I totally procrastinated an hours worth of work by downloading these pictures, so you better enjoy them.  
And I better get off Facebook and start working.
Back to the grind!

I should be out exploring the Philippines.

Instead of spending way too much time playing with the Photo Booth on my Mac.

We’re Sistas!

Are you talking shit?

Fuck you. No, fuck YOU!

Watch your back, bitch. You gonna get jumped.

Oh my god, why you are so scary?

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you.

I’m so ashamed. I didn’t mean to hurt you.

I forgive you, friend.

Let’s NEVER fight again!

I love you. You’re like my other half.

I’m such a geek.

Me: dad its krystal i have internet now
Dad: horay for you how you doing girl?
Me: gooooood im going to work this afternoon, and my cousins kim and maaan are here. they stayed with me this weekend
Dad: great keep you in company be sure to take care your self carefully be vigilant hope all things going swell
Me: i will be vigilant and careful – going to eat now, i love you!!!
Dad: we miss you so much and j.r. oke I love
Me: bye bye talk to u later!!
Dad: goodnight bona petit

Two reasons why I love my Dad:

1) “Be vigilant.”
I love it. Talking to my dad is like talking to a mid-century English man… Who has a deep Filipino accent.

2) His attempt at colloquialisms like, “swell” and “bon appetit.”
In one sentence the man sounds like Sherlock Holmes and in the next he sounds like Julia Child.

I can’t even imagine the amalgamated morass of pop culture and American multiculturalism that he has absorbed over his 30+ years in the American “melting pot.”

This morning on the phone, my Dad said to me, “As long as you are enjoying life and having fun we’re happy.” Then I hear my Mom exclaim, “Fun!?” before snatching the phone back and saying, “Your Dad is still asleep. He doesn’t know what he’s saying.”

We share a laugh about my artistic sloth. Nothing like moving out, living my own life, and doing what I want to strengthen the relationship I have my parents. I’m a lucky gal.
