Sha,
 
Hi me again. Just got back from the house in Waipahu and BOY!
 
What the hell happened? There's like hundreds of people living there now. I was sitting in the living room and watching TV with Lyka and all of a sudden this lady and kid walk into our kitchen carrying five bags of groceries. I was like "uh..."
 
I didn't know if I was to introduce myself or call the police. I mean they weren't stealing anything, and they were loading our fridge with ACTUAL food! I couldn't chase them out. Eventually she introduced herself and the little boy stared at me like I was some freak. Her name was Dulce. Later I found out the boy's name was Bryan. All that time his ass was in the living room with me muttering things to himself like a psychiatric patient.
 
About an hour later, little psychotic boy still sitting on the living room floor, this haole lady walks past me and joins me.
 
She goes, "so you work in a fanancial office, is that what you told me before?"
 
I was like "um....no."
 
Haole lady goes, "oh it wasn't you that was telling me?"
 
Sunshine goes, "um..I don't think we've been introduced."
 
She looks at me for a moment. Like a minute or something and says, "OH! I thought you were the woman living in the other room!" meaning Dulce.
 
What the fuck?? Do all of us FILIPINO women look alike or something? Hell no. I look nothing like that other woman thank you very much! AGH!
 
Well, from then on it was rather uncomfortable. She embarassed herself and frankly I thought she was pretty ignorant for not being able to tell me and Dulce apart. She tried to make small talk and I tried to find every excuse to leave the living room and do SOMETHING (i.e. wash my hands like an obsessive compulsive, use the bathroom like I had a bladder problem, and talk to Lyka in baby talk like the white woman was not sitting right across from me). Mind you, Bryan is there too, and he brought out all 20+ Power Rangers and starts making farting noises with his armpits! When was mom or dad going to come home to save me??
 
Eventually, mom comes home. Then dad. Then Auntie Gloria comes over with Glenn. Then uncle Alex. Uncle Polly and Autie Alma. I saw Jemaima downstairs (when did she get back?). Dulce was in the living room too. Auntie Bebs. I mean EVERYONE WAS UP THERE! Where did all these people come from. And whadayaknow. Glenn is clutching the double cassette TITANIC in his hand saying "Manang Sunshine! I get Titanic!" Oh GAHD. So you can guess what happens next. They stick the thing in the VCR and it starts rolling. Mom goes "oh I watch this before."
Bryan says, "I saw it too." Glenn saying "thats my Titanic Auntie!" Bryan continues to make farting noises with his armpits. Uncle Alex and dad start drinking it up and Auntie Gloria is making pancit in the kitchen.
 
We went from a practically deserted home to a 3-star no-tell motel.
 
But I digress.
 
Lyka's STOMACH IS HUMAANGOUS! I MEAN LIKE A WATERMELON!! Her nipples are bigger than mine!!! She looks like she's going to pop like a baloon soon. But she doesn't look as sickly as she did before. You know like the day you left? She is just HUGE! I wish I had money to send her to a vet.
 
Things are going I guess. That play I went to last night (the shakesperean type one) was pretty good. I was really impressed at our local talent. But I think maybe ONE of them would be good BROADWAY THEATER material. Kudos to my Theater 101 TA.
 
I picked up the comp from [Rz] and called Eric but he wasn't home. If you talk to him anytime soon tell him the computer is at mom's house and waiting. You need the disks for it because I told [Rz] to erase the Hard Drive so you have to re-install everything. I'll give you my CD. I'll pass it on to Eric. Its better than those 1.4 MB diskettes.
 
I got Haydee's email address. Write her and ask her for her phone number so you guys can hook up when you get to NY. I think she really needs a familiar face right now. I was thinking you can introduce her to Ate Genie and the family. She's a good friend Sha, and she has no relatives or friends(that I know of) there. I think she should adopt Ate Genie as her foster cousin or something. Haydee's going to be alone for XMAS the poor thing. SO CALL HER!!!
 
Her email address is:
 
[Insert address here]
 
Weird address eh?
Okay. I go now.
 
Love,
Sunshine

"Acting is Believing" by TA Kleist was actually really good. It was pretty impressive. Great talent is rather attractive. Blake Kushi who played Genesus....was.....hmm...a rather attractive Asian man. I'll leave it at that.....no....I'll leave it at this: he is a very yummy man (not fagasious either....heh).

WTF is up with all my journal bookmarks? None of them are updating.

Back to the Ragtime phase. The boy and I ran around K-mart looking for blank audio tapes last night. It's not worth installing a CD player into the white ranger. It would be like putting an engagement ring on an 80 year old, STD ridden, whore. So I have a copy of the full OBC recording of Ragtime on tape in my car now. I need to perfect singing along with Brian Stokes and Audrey McDonald while sitting in traffic. I've perfected RENT, and when I sing along to OUT TONIGHT it looks like I'm lipping it because I sound just like Ruben Vega (really! I'm not kidding, laugh and I'll feed your inards to my pregnant dog). Then again fellow rush hour drivers look at me strangely or just point and laugh. Imagine belting out operatic high notes in the carpool lane. I've done that too. God bless public radio.
