I’m covered in throw up.

Yesterday we went down to Rosario and had apple mangos. I used to hate mangos in Canada, but oh my gosh, here they are amazing! They are so sweet and have an amazing taste! I ate a mango that was ripened on the tree. So delicious!
Mya had a baby massage by an 85 year old Grandma of Florence’s husband. She is the cutest little old lady! Mya absolutely loved it! She was smiling and enjoying the massage. I was going ride a water buffalo but it started to pour… Next time!
We went down to Amlang to see my Aunty Minda and it was raining. Man I didn’t know that it would still be hot even though it rained. It was +35C. So sticky hot!
Mya has bronchitis so she is quite sick and is throwing up lots of mucus and flem. I constantly go around with snot on my shirt and throw up. It’s just nuts. Mya threw up on me during the day and Brandon threw up on me at night. Nice, they are tag teaming me.
I went to the doctor for Mya. Let’s just say the Medicare system is not like Canada at all. We went to a pediatrician because my cousin Florence was taking her son, so I went along for Mya because she was having trouble breathing and coughing was really mucusy. So we go in and it’s a tiny room, that’s open to everyone and shared with the regular doctor. there was no privacy at all, so I kind of wonder what happens during a physical???!!! hmmm…. Well, so I got a couple of prescriptions for Mya. On our way out I noticed that there were 12 x-rays all in a row all lined up hanging on the rail.
We went to the pharmacy to pick up the medication and they just hand the mediation over the counter. It’s even diluted for you, it’s do it yourself. So I had to mix the meds. They just gave me a cup to give to Mya, not even one of those baby syringes. Amazing. Thankfully I had a Tylenol syringe thing that was brand new and not yet used so I’m using that. It’s just amazing here. It was funny because everywhere I go people stare at me. It can be quite unnerving sometimes. I feel like checking to see if I have a booger coming out of my nose or something… When I went to get to get the medicine I went with John Florence’s husband. Everyone was congratulating him and saying, “Way to go for marrying a beautiful white woman.” ha-ha… sooo funny! He kept telling people oh no no.. she’s just my sister in law. I laughed and told him thank goodness I’m just the sister in law because then he wouldn’t have to deal with my b*tchyness or my Darth Vader psycho side! lol
I was walking down the street an it was just packed with people! Every time I go to mall I feel like I am boxing day shopping cuz the malls are just packed! They have people selling pirated CD’s and DVD’s on the sidewalk. There is a little bakery every 5th store. It’s just amazing! Most of the vehicles that are here are run on diesel so the air can be filled with diesel smoke. Yuck. There’s a bluish haze in the sky sometimes. But it’s starting to rain everyday now. They are coming into rainy season. We have gotten a few gorgeous days of clear skies and you can see the South China Sea from Baguio.
I’m just hanging out, surfing the web and taking it easy now. Not to many big trips are planned now that my “white guapo(handsome)” husband has left. We are going for a facial today and do some shopping!
Well, I hope that it will be nice and warm cuz I’m use to summer weather now. Love you!
