Hung out with basically the entire waitstaff of my parents complex last night. Bunch of kids moved here together from Baguio and they all work and live together. Parents mentioned to one of them I was learning Tagalog so they invited me to come hang out with them. Last night was a birthday celebration for one of the waitresses and her hot little brother (I was still the youngest, but they were all mid-twenties). They made a whole bunch of 'western' food, pasta salad, barbaque chicken, curry, and 'spaghetti'. Y'all put spam in that? Next time anyone wants spaghetti, let me know and I will put these italian skills to work, but don't eat spam. They bought a birthday cake from some chinese bakery. China doesn't really like sweet things and they are no good at making cakes, but it was pretty, we all made fun of china for a bit. Anyway it was lots of fun, good kids they made me speak in Tagalog the whole night. They took a lot of pictures so I will put some up when they are sent to me. These kids are all on Friendster they tell me, which I kind of am regretful to have an account with, I thought I deleted it once, but at least maybe it will be a good way to keep in contact with them. Its ironic that after going crazy from not having anyone to talk to in China, a few days before I leave I make a bunch of friends. Some of them will be back in the Philippines when I hope to be there next year, others might still be working at my parents complex when I go to China next. Well Shanghai is having a tropical downpour, and I actually love it when this happens so I might go for a little walk. See you all later.
