Shoo Bee Doo

It's hard to describe how I feel. I would love to come to this blog and be able to write all the interesting things that happen in my day, but some how when I come to write, things don't sound interesting any more. How can I make interesting things like, we went for a walk in the park tonight and saw a huge slug. So I took a picture. I suppose if i were a writer I could have made that a very interesting story. But you see my problem?
Maybe i could tell you that we took our Chinese liaison/friend Maggie to our usual restaurant for dinner. It's funny, cause she first took me to this place, and now we eat there almost every day. The food is cheap and good. Those poor waitresses, though. I feel so bad for them. The other foreign teachers give them such a hard time, and they are so picky and get upset if they their order is not right... I figure it's better to be flexible and eat what you get then expect them to understand what you want when you don't speak the language. Anyway, we took Maggie to eat. We have such fun with her. She is so sweet and friendly and a good sport. She puts up with all the crazy foreigners. I don't envy her job at all. Foreigners complain so much and expect you to give them royal treatment. Sometimes I am so embarrassed by their behavior. So arrogant and unkind. I have no others to hang out with, yet I don't want to be associated with their behavior. A student told me just today that I am the only foreign teacher that responded to her since school started. She has wanted to talk and get to know us, but has been ignored by the others. I hope I can be a testimony in this way.
They say another typhoon is on the way. The sky is so eerie right before a storm.
Peace be to all of you, and shout out a happy B-day to my big bro Steve (today!), Lil' Sis Eva, AND my Pappy. Love you guys!
