No, Really, I Am an American

Before I explain about the title, I have decided I am a bitch. This isn’t moving up or down from my usual “ass hole” it may be a strictly while I’m in the Philippines thing.

Here’s the deal: I am a bitch. I can’t help but think about my last post about the Philippines and think how…arrogant (?) I sound. I realize that it’s just different culture and some such…but I still think I’m being a jack ass.

Remember how I was referring to pretentious things. We moved from the apartelle to the frickin’ country club. Back to the “important family” thing. Everyone is…subservient. Sure, we do that in the States to a degree, but this just feels different. Weird even.

The room in the country club hotel is super swank. Pretty. Clean. American. I feel like an East Coast person a little. My dad is going to golf tomorrow.

I went horseback riding in the morning. Tiger was a runner. He certainly had his own agenda and it mostly involved eating grass. My guide kept urging me to take Tiger into a gallop and I would for a spell, but then I felt back cuz I think Tiger preferred to just amble his way about. I kept calling Tiger “puppy” because he reminded me a little bit of Lucy for some reason.

I thought of Amanda and my beloved sister today at lunch when we went to a place called “Eve’s Garden” — everything was organic. It tasted awesome. Certainly an experience.

About the title — last night while I was watching TV I couldn’t help but smile and laugh out loud when I saw commercials for the following TV shows: Tru Calling (which I admit, I did check out — they are totally still on Season 1), Angel: The Series (they’re on Season 5), Point Pleasant (a Marti Noxon show I didn’t get a chance to check out when it was on in the States. Point of interest — it replaced Tru Calling for a spell and then was replaced again by the show it once took the place of), and the BEST of all Joe Shmoe 2 (the contestant turned actress chick was just offered the script). Hilarious. (smacks Grant)

That’s all for now. It’s Wednesday here. Maybe a week left to go.
