dear mom and dad,

the sun don' gone and left me! rain rain rain rain! we are upon the rainy season, so i've been told. it just poured BUCKETS this weekend. i took a cab to meet a friend, and the driver was so excited to flaunt the little bit of english and idioms that he knew. he smiles and says "It's rain cats-ah dogs-ah!" it sure was :)

so anyway, i miss the heat. my apt is surprisingly cooler than some of my colleagues. i think b/c my apt window faces the hallway on one end, and the inner courtyard on the other. i hardly use the air conditioning, actually, b/c the fan is enough. it's been nice.

work is fine, the air conditioning is usually on and it's freezing! i turn it down sometimes, but mostly just keep it cold, otherwise the kids get sleepy... from them working so hard, im sure, not that my class is boring.

i went to the movies with mayma last weekend, she said she'll never watch another horror movie with me again b/c i kept screaming. but heck, it was a HORROR movie! it was scary! what else could i do but scream? it was an american movie, 444, really crappy, dont bother looking for it.

hey, did you guys buy "Happy Feet" about the penguin? Mom, you would LOVE that movie, b/c the penguins sing all your favorite songs. i think you guys should watch the documentary "march of the penguins" first, and then happy feet, b/c then you'll know what the penguins are doing. anyway, momma, i saw the movie and was thinking about you the whole time, and a little glad i was watching it by myself and not with you, b/c with you i bet i wouldn't have been able to hear a thing; you would sing along the whole time, interjected with you telling me how you sang all those songs in the 70's. ~daughter.
