And out of nowhere, a friend of mine sent me a message asking where in Texas I am after reading a post in Facebook. It was a happy surprise to find out that we were at the same place at the same time! So that meant only one thing - meet up! =)
She brought me to Hooters (woot woot!), which I have heard of before. I did not think though that I would get a chance to eat at this place. Like usual, the food serving was really huge that I could only consume half of it. At the end, we asked to have it packed. It was a surprise, and a new experience, to be given a pack where I can put the food I want to take out. In the Philippines, if you say you want the leftovers packed, they take it from the table and pack it from the kitchen. I see that it is different here.
Aside from this new experience, I am so glad to meet my friend whom I last saw in our last day of Spanish class about five years ago, just before she moved to the US. It is a happy coincidence that we were at the same time at the same place that we look at it as a blessing.
Yummy quesadillas! I do love Mexican food.
Later, my friend and I went to a mall and I realized that this American mall is big but spread out, unlike Philippine malls that have at least four to five stories. We were looking for my postcards but could not find one, even in the card shop. As we were walking along the hallway, a guy hailed us to ask if we want to have our hair fixed. Of course, because the two of us were not interested, we politely declined but this guy said, "Filipina, Filipina, let me do your hair." And I was like, this is the second time that these people has correctly identified me as Filipino. I guess I really do look like one, or they are just used to seeing Filipinos. In Norway, I was mistaken for a Latina and in Korea, I was once been mistaken as American. Hahaha. That was so funny!
P.S. Still trying to drink lots of fluid because of my colds!
