Inspired from a conversation I had with Leah yesterday

Things I've gotten used to (or are getting use to) here that might be considered...strange...when I return:

• -Say “in a while” instead of “in a minute”
• -Continue walking through metal detectors although it has gone off
• -Carry toilet paper in my purse
  -Run onto elevators so they dont close and cut me in half, and then press the open and close button on every single floor
  -Order brown sugar with my coffee
  -Wash my dishes then use boiled water to sanitize them
  -Order rice with every meal (including dessert)
  -Start every sentence with "actually"
  -Communicate through text messages with businesses and bosses
  -Ask the bagboy at the grocery store to carry my bags home
  -Hold my hand up when walking in front of cars so they'll (hopefully?) slow down
  -Ask for the bill at a restaurant by making a square with my fingers (still not very good at that)
  -Go to the mall for anything I might need (groceries, dry cleaning, pay bills, office supplies, etc.)
  -Carry around a cloth to put over my mouth in case the pollution is bad
  -Communicate with my eyebrows
  -Crave mango at all hours of the day
  -Create my own traffic lanes and honk all the time while driving (if I'm still allowed to drive when I get back)
  -Buy a horn for my car that sounds like a police officer's car
  -If Boyz II Men come to my wedding, put their hand on my forehead as a sign of respect
  -Speak taglish (tagalog and english)...ok not as likely for that to happen
