- i went to california for one week to attend berkeley law’s admitted students events, obtain a visa for the philippines (something i should have done last december), and spend time with my family and friends. berkeley law helped subsidize the airfare…but soon, i will owe them thousands upon thousands of dollars.
- my future classmates are amazing =)
- in california, i ate of the following cuisines: afghani, pakistani, japanese, vietnamese, chinese, and italian/mediterranean.
- i arrived in the philippines at about 1:30 AM this morning. while waiting in line to get my passport stamped, i helped some chinese ladies with their arrival documents because they didn’t know english. they were very grateful and said “praise the Lord!”
-i was praying for an honest and safe taxi driver to take me from the airport at 2 in the morning to the Loos’ house, because i was carrying $1000 in cash for the livelihood project and an expensive camera. he got me to the Loo’s house safely, but pretended that he didn’t have change for my 1000 peso bill (a little over $20…the meter had read 370 pesos…about $8). i was too tired to negotiate.
- for the last three weeks, i haven’t slept in the same bed for more than two nights in a row.
- i realized i haven’t updated this since february…
- i’m really tired.
