Whatever's on my mind

I went out with my Korean friend, David, today. We were gonna watch Italian movies.. I thought there was a mini film festival going on.. but apparently, it ended last Friday. Ah well. So we watched 500 Days of Summer. I enjoyed it even though I've already watched it twice. Hehe well, I don't LOVE the movie.. I just enjoy it a lot.

Afterward, we just walked around and ended up having coffee (and a doughnut for me). Then we just talked and talked. It's not that easy to communicate though. He's not that good at English. Also, it's not just that.. it's the cultural ideas that go with the language.. those are difficult to explain. Well, I still enjoyed it. We met near the university and had lunch in KFC and then took two trains to the mall. I love going around (Metro) Manila with someone who doesn't know it well. I was pointing out where all my previous houses were in the city while we were in the train. Anyway, tomorrow, I am taking him to an Indian / Pakistani grocery near the university. It's actually the best one we have here. They have so many things -- Limca, Thumbs-up, plain lassi, many different kinds of mithai (Indian sweets), samosa, Amul rose milk.. and lots of other spices and Indian / Pakistani (I'm trying to be politically correct here, haha. The grocery is owned by a Pakistani but most of the customers are Indian, so yeah). Haha I am so excited! I can't wait to see the look on his face. Hopefully he likes some of it.. Indian food is so different from Korean food and many people don't appreciate it. We are gonna walk there. No taxis, jeepneys. It's not a very pretty area but it's part of the adventure, right?

Okay. I have to stop babbling on and on and do my accounting work. :)
