quick update!

so, here I am back, back in NZ. Again I am too lazy to write in paragraph style, so bullet points it is!

Good things
* hot showers. aaahhhh, wonderful. And even more: water pouring from a spout above me instead of having to pour small containerfuls one by one. Never again shall I take hot showers for granted.
* food, glorious food! I ate well in the Philippines, but there was little variety. Rice for every lunch and dinner, and the same few vegetables over and over again. Now that I'm back I've immediately gone to the Korean mart down the road to get my tofu fix.
* Pippi! She has grown SO much. The people who house-swapped with my parents overfed all the animals, so Pippi has doubled in size.
* planning my next visit to Piko Wholefoods here in Chch. On my list so far: tempeh, carob buttons, and some amazing soy chocolate I found there last time.

Not so good things
* Brrr, it's winter.
* I have to find a job. =(
* I miss by Sugod family something fierce.
* what do you mean the beach is half an hour walk away?
* Finding it so easy to slot back in life in a developed country. It should be more difficult.

What else....
I'm going up to Welly in 2 weeks for a visit. Ana, Druinie, Caroline, Steven, Amanda, Kim, Becs, I can't wait to see you! Ana has already promised me Korean food, I can't wait.

Ryan Recruitment Agency tells me that while I am an advanced Microsoft Word user, my data entry skills are far below average. Whew! Thank goodness! I think I'd tear my hair out from boredom if I had to do data entry.
