A Few Things I’ve Learned from Immersion besides the Usual “We Take a Lot for Granted” and “Our Country is Squalorrific” Sentiments:
1) I am envious of Angel Locsin’s charisma.
2) I can last two days fever- or sore throat-free without a cigarette provided that I don’t have schoolwork.
3) That Jesus prayer every 3 o’clock in the afternoon still scares me to this day.
4) Sleeping beneath a kulambo puts me in a good mood, so I guess that every time I get into a hissy fit, someone should just throw gauze over me.
5) People will always laugh at me when I do the dishes. (This has been an issue of mine since forever. Apparently, there is something about the way I soap and wash utensils, I don’t know what, damn it, that is very wrong, and it makes whoever is watching me giggle with much condescension. WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT PLEASE TELL ME PLEASE BECAUSE I SWEAR THE FORKS ARE SQUEAKY CLEAN WHEN I’M DONE WITH THEM I SWEAR)
6) I cannot deliver a heartwarming speech.
