jeep jeep jeep

i was just called the greatest disappearing act of the 21st century. oops? at least i'll be staying put for the next 8 months, but you know, i'd do it all again in a heart beat.

it's only been a few days, but already i sorely miss the philippines. playing spades to evade boredom during electrical brown outs, daily loss of running water, and using the same bucket of rain water plus ladle for the following purposes:

1) to bathe
2) to wash the dishes
3) to flush the toilet
4) as toilet paper - if you're feeling exceptionally daring

the best part about the trip was spending time with our relatives. i like hearing stories about how everyone was when they were younger. how my mom was a chemist for a paint company and got fired for helping to organize a labor union (that's how mama do), and how my aunt made my uncle lose his morals and leave the seminary. haha. i like hearing stories from before i was born about all the little cousins peeing into a water bottle and trying to sell it on the streets to dehydrated jeepney drivers.



good business idea. bad product.
