After more than three months in Michigan, I finally met a
Filipino!
My husband and I were in the Food Hall of the mall trying to
decide where to eat when a lady greeted me with a cheerful voice. She asked me
if I am also from the Philippines and we just could not hide our excitement
realizing we’re ‘magkababayan’.
My husband was so elated as well that I finally got to meet a fellow Filipino.

| I think she gave me a lot more than what she should.:) |
Her name is Marissa and she met her husband in U.S. military
base in Subic. The American lady who works with her told us that Marissa has
many Filipino friends who always visit her at work. My husband told me that
Filipinos have this warm and jolly personality like her. He mentioned our
friend, Sir JB who always makes him laugh. I needed to remind him that I’m a
lot more serious than most Filipinos. :D
Anyways, I’m
glad to know that I have many ‘kababayan’ here.
What’s more surprising? When my husband told Marissa that we got married in
Indonesia, she said that she has a coworker who is an Indonesian. Before long,
two Filipinos, an Indonesian, and two Americans were happily (and noisily)
chatting in the Food Court!
The best discovery? They also have my favorite pancit!
