Yesterday, on the phone:
A: I sent it. But, it's all kind of rushed, so if it doesn't look good, just edit it yourself.
D: That's ok. I'm sure it looks fine.
A: Nah, it was like Rush PP'd.
D: Nyahahahahahahahahahahaha. Ang panget pakinggan parang may rash yung pepe.
-----------------------------------------------
Yesterday, on the phone again:
D: Hey you.
Marc: Hi.
D: So, listen. Blahblahblah...
Marc: Uhhh... Who's this?
D: It's Dana. Ano ba? I'm using my mom's phone.
Marc: Who?
D: DANA. DDDAAANNNAAA. Danabelle. Danablonde. Ano ba? Is this Marc?
Marc: Yes, this is Marc.
D: Marc Anthony?
Marc: Yes.
D: Marc Anthony Guittap?
Marc: I think you've got the wrong number.
Blahahaha. Lichi.

Yesterday, at the fishmarket:
D: What's that?
Fish Monger: Lohb-ister. Lohb-ister.
Mami: Ok. How much for the "lohb-ister"?
LOL. Ang kulet.
Oh and yes, I really had to ask what it was... Ang liliit kasi eh... Parang ulang.
Oh diba? anliliit lang? Parang hipon lang.
Despite that though... It was mighty tasty... Mmmm.
My specialty... All gone... Almost. LOL.Darnit, I really need to get some wine. Someone please tell me where in Ajman can I get wine? How do I get there? Puhleeeaaazzzeee. Kthxbai.
-----------------------------------------------
Sooo... A new shop opened up in Ajman Fishmarket...
Would you like to take a guess at what that shop might be?
...
Just a wild wild guess.
It was an aquarium.

Well it IS a fish market... Why not right?
Am I weird for thinking that this is a little weird? "Fish for food" and "fish for friends" all in the same place. Hmmm...
Anyhoos... After, buying our "fish for food", I went over to the "fish for friends" store and looked around. I was surprised to see just how inexpensive they actually are.
...Of course, seeing as I have LITERALLY no money (Not even AED10, I kid you not.), I was just about to go out of the store, when this shady local guy looks me straight in the eye and says ---
Shady Local Guy: What? You want fish?
D: Uhhh... Yeah.
Shady Local Guy: *To store attendant* Psst. Give her fish. *To me* Which fish you want?
D: *Me thinking he was the owner* Uhmm... The small one? How much is it?
Shady Local Guy: No. That will die. Get big one.
D: Uhmm. Ok. *Points to a bigger one*. How much is it?
Shady Local Guy: Tsk. I give you BRESENT. How many you want?
D: Just one.
Shady Local Guy: No. Take three.

LOL. It turns out he wasn't the owner and he was just a guy buying stuff from there. But he did end up giving me four "fish for friends" as a BRESENT. Then he gave me his number verbally and said ---
Shady Local Guy: Call me about fish.
Ok uhmm scary. He seems like a nice guy... But if you've been living in Arab countries for as long as I have... You'd know why I'd be freaked out and untrusting.
Of course, I'll probably call him using a payphone just to say "Thank you."
LOL.
What? My nice side feels a little guilty.
"Somewhere... Beyond the sea... Someone is waiting for me..."

So tonight after choir practice, we might go get some fabric. :) Little Miss Wanty Wanter is going to D.I.Y. some Lens Huggies and Strap Jackets. :) Hihihi.
Yayyy!"Oh but I thought Little Miss Wanty Wanter's broke... What's with all this fabric buying?", you say. I say, "You forget that Little Miss Wanty Wanter has a mom that spoils her rotten. That's actually the whole reason behind Little Miss Wanty Wanter being who she is."
Don't you just hate Little Miss Wanty Wanter? Hahaha
-----------------------------------------------
Remember how I went to the Burj last week and the remote thingy got broken and stuff.

Well... Yesterday, a miracle happened (Hence, me calling Marc yesterday night). The thing just worked. Like out of the blue.

Ain't that just great? It's like an early Halloween miracle. Yayyy!!!
I know, I know... Mababaw ang kaligayahan ko. Ano naman ngayon? Hmpfsh.
LOL.
