Missing Good Friends
Today, while doing my laundry, I sat down to watch a fishing show on TV. Two men were on a boat in the sea and they were telling the viewers how to ‘fight the fish.’ I really didn’t understand what they were talking about, but I was just looking at the sea and ached to see it again. I am, after all, a true-blue island girl, having been born and raised in beautiful beautiful Cebu. Then, I turned to my roommate who is a born and bred mountain girl from Montana. I told her that I miss eating crabs, prawns, tahong, and fresh fish. She looked at me strangely and said that she doesn’t like seafood and rarely eats seafood.
My quest for seafood here in South Bend is so frustrating. Yesterday, I looked at the salmon in the grocery store, but it looked really unappetizing and yes, very expensive. I tried to buy those frozen shrimps, but they really don’t taste the same.
I guess I am just going through this phase again where I am starting to miss everything and everyone in the Philippines. I am posting pictures of some of the people and places I really really miss. Best friends and best places.
