nestled.

I just got back from a three-day-long trip to the mountains. A friend of my dad was going up there to check up on the villages hit by the landslide and visit churches, and he took my dad and I with him. 

We drove up to Baguio the first day, then drove up the side of the mountain to Benguet. It’s best not to think about landslides while you are doing this. It is also best not to think about the foot-wide space between your tire and a drop down the side of a cliff.

We drove to a tiny village in the fog and spent the night in a tiny hotel on the top of a mountain with no heat and where the waiters and staff (including the security guard) were also the ethnic dancers. That was the coldest night I have ever experienced. Ever. I mean, Manila never really gets cold, so we were quite unprepared.

The next day we visited an old airstrip and drove up to Sagada, where we went into a cave and visited some old tribal burial places.

I’ll post a detailed account on my blogspot. There were a lot of strange experiences, like a chicken falling out of the air, the nastiest siopao ever, and pancakes at 7,400 feet. There were also rusted gates, sheep, and looking down at little villages tucked into valleys, and a river and sunsets.

Also, people kept giving me coffee, and I can safely say that I have used some of the worst bathrooms ever. 

Ever.

Check out this handmade ring designed to look like a Polaroid photograph. You can insert any photo/graphic and make this ring uniquely yours. Chrismas present, yes?

Want want want.

The mouse that lives in the piano came out and nibbled on my toe.

Strange.

I wrote your name on my wrist, just to see how it looked there

because you wrote my name on yours.

It didn’t look right, not on mine. But I don’t doubt that there will be someone someday who will write your name on her wrist and it will all fit together.

When it rains, it pours.

Mom’s electric mixer broke down this week, as did the washing machine and the computer.

So I spent the entire morning hand-lettering the gift tags on the cupcakes she is making (and hand-mixing), because she told me to. Me. This is a 50th wedding anniversary! I’m sure Ponso and Lety would never have allowed it had they known some kid was tracing around a cup and then cutting out wonky circles, and then writing their names in a very cramped manner. (I don’t know what is up with my body. Maybe I have scurvy. Or some other equally dreadful disease.)

Ugh.

Scurvy? What. I don’t even know the symptoms of scurvy.

It just popped into my head.

Plus I like saying it, if I’m not thinking of the poor sailors.
