Phillipines, here I come!

I can already tell I am a cross between my mom and dad. Like my dad, I love games, sleeping in, and cartoons. Like my mom, I like going to dance class at the gym, and swimming. The one thing they both gave me is the travel bug. This coming Saturday I will be on a plane to the Phillipines. I will be there until the 28th of September. It's been hard to work all week because my mind is already on vacation. I am already wondering what the beaches there will be like, what the food will taste like, what I am going to see-ect. I think my trip is coming at a good time though. It seems like I'm not working hard enough because I am still working on overcoming objections at work. At home, it seems like I am not cleaning or working out enough. If being an adult is a balancing act, then I am not doing a really good job. Plus, I have never really met my family up there. I met my grandparents on my moms side once when I was in elementary school. My mom said I used to never admit I was part filipino until I realized that anime and being asian was in. I think it's because I really didn't know much about the culture or what it meant. I would just see mom cooking lumpia or pansit and I would wonder why we couldn'teat what other kids where eating for dinner. On the other hand, I have lived with my grandparents on my dads side. I know my uncles and aunt, as well as other relatives. But that is because they live in the U.S. So, it's not quite as expensive to see them. At this point, we have gifts bought for everyone, and some of our clothes packed. Jenn O is going to make sure Silver gets her temptations fix while mom and I are away. Mom is in her we need to get everything cleaned up before we leave mode. The only thing I am wondering about is if I am going to be handle the eighteen hour plane ride. I hate sitting for long periods of time. But that's what sleeping and seasons of Supernatural and Magic Knights to watch are for. If I do anything wrong while I am abroad,I hope they realize I am just an American whose mom happended to be born there. I will share my misadventures here and on facebook. So stay tuned!
