Guess who's in town!?

Yes that’s true, Miss Prudence from Taiwan jumped on the plane and flew to hang around with us!! I couldn’t believe my eyes, when the little girl from last summer who left Block Island with like 2 huge suitcases and 3 extra bags, arrived here with a smaller bag than I had when we went to Kuala Lumpur for a weekend! Where will she put everything she will shop from here?!

It has been SOOOO great to see Prudence! I mean she is an Asian, but I can actually understand everything that comes out of her mouth!! Why can’t they all speak like that!? Life would be so much easier that way…She will stay here for 5 days and the day after she leaves Milla comes here!! YIPPII!! I just wish Milla had come a day earlier, then we would have had a reunion of room 17, that consisted of 4 girls that shared their lives for a little while last summer in a place called Block Island…Oh dear, when we have talked about last summer, I have started to miss those times so much. It’s weird how you forget the bad parts so fast and only the good things stays in the back of your brains…

Couple of girls from our project group started today by picking up their suspended student cards from office. And why were they suspended? (is suspension of student card supposed to be a punishment? Are you kidding me, it just means that u can’t borrow school books from the library!!) Well these girls had been shameless teenagers, without any moral values and they had walked in the premises of our holy school with TOO SHORT SKIRTS!! Hello!! Everybody does that here. Every other girl that passes you has a short skirt and high heels…So what’s new? I guess some teacher had just had a bad day when he took the student cards away…

Now I know why stars never trust reporters. Reporters never tell the truth, they get the facts wrong or then they just totally hear what ever they want to hear during the interview. Mr. Wan Chang Chin who interviewed us for school magazine because of our tsunami experience, brought me today the brand new copy of the magazine with our story in it, and the picture I took of the “wave” was nicely in the front page. Well the headline was tragic She came, she saw, she fled!! Sounds like I would have been some kind of action hero in Sylvester Stallone’s new movie…. During the interview I told him 10 times that we stayed in Karon beach (Yes I spelled it to him and saw how he wrote it down to his notebook) where things weren’t that bad, and that it was the Patong beach that was totally destroyed!. I guess he thought that was too lame since he starts the report by telling how I was in Patong beach. But then on the other hand he didn’t want to believe in my ability to measure things cause he writes “…the water rushed up to her ankles even though she had ran 5 steps up a flight of stairs…” Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s a big difference between ankles and thighs, to where the water actually came up to. Then he is quoting me in big letters “It all happened so fast. Many what-ifs’ came to my mind.” Yeah, that does sounds the same than when I said that my head was totally empty and I didn’t have any time to think about anything!! Well what can I say, he will be a great journalist one day without a doubt! Maybe I should end this part by writing here my favourite part of the article: She lived to tell the tale. Well at least that’s true!
