More funny stories from inexperience in a new place ...
Ding Dong, Who's There? [from Carrisse]
I remember my first few days here in Seattle. A UPS guy rang my doorbell and left. So when I opened the door there was nobody there. I got scared and thought that someone was trying to trick me so they could get inside. I called 911. Sus kakahiya nung dumating si (It was so embarrassing when he arrived-) Mr. Police Officer and saw the UPS package in front of our house! Di kasi tumingin sa ibaba no?! (Why didn't I look down?!)

Shampoo Do
When my sister was newly migrated in the US we had this phone conversation:
Me: O kamusta na kayo dyan? (How are you all doing?)
T: Ah okay lang (we're fine) blah blah blah ... I just don't like the shampoos here it will make my hair dry.
Me: What do you mean?
T: Well you can clearly see it on the label, it says from "Normal to Dry". (She was not joking)
Me: Jaja !! (Silly girl!)

Oh It's Drying Time Again ...
A 12 year old cute girl (das me nyehehe!) who spent her primary school days in the provinces was newly enrolled in a city high school. One day, her class visited the CCP Little Theater to watch a play. Intermission came and most of them went out to the loos (CRs). She was washing her hands in one of the sinks when the square contraptions attached to the walls caught her curiosity. After she's done, she went over and inspected them. There was a big button in front so she pressed it. The machine went - Whiiinnggggggg!! In a very very noisy way spewing out hot air! She tried to turn it off by pressing the button again and again but it won't stop. Finally heart pounding, eyes wide in terror she fled inside one of the cubicles. Only when it stopped (she was still shaking a little bit) did she come out again. And that's when she saw one of the ladies walk over press the button and rubbed her hands underneath. Huh! It was a hand drier afterall ! When her other classmates came in, feeling smug and smart she haughtily instructed them on how to use it. Hehehe!

Haha..eto kuwento ng nurse na pinsan ng hubby ko sa Germany. Di siya nakakaintindi nor speak German. First time din niya sa winter. She and her friend decided to buy some winter coats..siyempre no read no write sila. Pumasok sa isang shop at itinuro yung mga jackets..ayaw silang bentahan..di nila maintindihan kung bakit..yun pala drycleaners yung napasukan nila..hehe
funny mga kwento mo, manay, in a very endearing way :)
funny na ngayon yan but i'm sure it wasn't at the time it was happening. MAdalas mangyari sakin yan sa mga bagong lugar. Kaya nang mag abroad ako, ingat na ingat ako sa kilos ko. Wala pa naman akong ibang pilipinong kasama dahil puti ang host namin ng misis ko. Yun bang parang mga taga squatter na takot na takot makabasag ng kahit ano sa loob ng isang napakalaking bahay. hehe
Ting-aling: Hahaha! Pati anaks ko natawa dyan ... okay lang bang ikwento ko yan sa main blog (with credits to you of course)?
Sienna(wa): Hihihi! Kaw din chang funny ang mga kwento mo.
eto mana kwento ko, during our study in ROC (taiwan), we were invited to an exclusive dinner with the big bosses (officials of host country). in the dining table, there were lots of bowls already prepared na kung anu-anong nakalagay. My pinoy friend (dalawa lang kamng pinoy) saw one bowl containing what looked like a creamy soup, naturally he thought the first course of the meal was soup, hence he spoon-scooped and tasted it, wheeww "lasang sabon" he said, then the waiter came to us and said "Sir you need not taste it, its for washing your hands"
sa kung bakit naman nakalagay pa sa mesa yon eh, buti na lang hindi ako mahilig sa soup!
magandang araw ateng!
Cel, oo naman, ok lang.
Eto pa. Totoo talaga 'to. Me kaibigan ako na Bisaya. Kuwento niya noong una daw siyang pumunta dito sumakay siya ng Japan Airlines. Noong nagserve na daw ng pagkain, ang una niyang tinikman yung icing sa box. Medyo nainis pa daw siya at napakadamot daw ng hapon magserve ng icing. In short isinubo niya ng buo yung wasabi..hehe
tito rolly: Ay oo, nakakatakot kapag first timer siempre. Hindi mo alam kung anong ia-asal mo lalu na kung pupunta sa bahay ng mga puti. Iba-iba ang etiquette ng bawat tao.
bongK: Puede ko bang ilagay iyan sa main blog? Meron din akong alam na ganyan ang nangyari at hindi lang ininom tinanong pa yung host nung recipe ng hugas-kamay soup. hehehe!
ting-aling: Thank you! Dalawa na from you + bongK's pa. Anong nangyari sa wasabi guy? Naku super anghang pa naman yun.
Cecille, eto naman true to life story ko. Nang dumating ako dito, March 31..tail end ng winter at start ng spring..o di siempre pa, pakitang gilas ako sa tinuluyan ko para naman masabing may pakinabang sa akin. Nag boots ako at lumabas, nagwalis ng mga dahon at nagbunot ng mga tanim na patay na. Umiyak yung may-ari ng bahay pag-uwi niya..paano daw, pag winter naglalaglagan talaga yung dahon ng tanim at pagdating ng spring tutubo ulit yung dahon..at pinakapaborito daw niyang tanim yung binunot ko, ilang taon din daw niyang inalagaan yon..waa..matagal ko na siyang naregaluhan ng kapalit siempre..
