effective law enforcement

D-I-S-C-I-P-L-I-N-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

learned a lot about life in 1 year that I would probably learn in the Phil in about 5-10 years.

respect, na kahit anong bihis mo, pantay ang treatment sayo

malayo sa in-laws (LOL! i have great in laws, btw, but still, it wouldn't hurt to live away fr. them diba?)

being able to survive without a maid, driver, gas boy and bus boys. Masyado tayong spoiled sa pinas. My boss who owns a big, national company drives his own car. Dun kahit manager ka lang, may driver ka pa. Sheesh.

Babaw pero:

Mas gusto ko hitsura ko dito kesa Pinas. Una, hindi ako madaling magmukhang haggard kasi walang pawis lol. Saka dito, 'di ako mataba! Wah! Sa Pinas, considered akong tabachingching eh. Ang papayat kasi ng mga tao.
