let it snow.. let it snow... let it snow...

I read this article way back my college days and it never fails to make me laugh everytime i read this "diary". When i posted this article in my bobongpinoy group at Yahoo, i got mixed reactions from the members. Some just simply find it outwardly funny while most of them reacted in such a way that they even had to contemplate the Filipinos way of having misconceptions about living in the US. So guys read on... :-D

Dear Diary,
Am finally here in America for the first time. Very excited about the prospect of having a white xmas -- for a change. We're so sawa na with parols & puto bumbong.

Dear Diary,
My wife & I sat by the window all day, watching the snowflakes gently drifting down, covering the trees & the ground. Just like the xmas card my sister sent me. Oh, how beautiful! Nicer than the ash fall of Mt. Pinatubo. Tsk! tsk! kawawa naman ang mga noypi sa pinas, nagtsatsaga sa traffic at init.

Dear Diary,
Awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fabulous sight! IT TOOK MY BREATh away. I offered to shovel my sister's driveway. I had great fun! A snowplow came by & accidentally tossed the snow back onto our driveway. The snowplow driver waved. His cheery smile & plumo rosy cheeks reminded me of Santa Claus. I waved back at him. What a nice guy! I began shoveling the snow off my sister's driveway again. No problem.

Dear Diary,
Gosh! Five more inches of snow! Overnight, the temperature dropped to 5 degrees below zero. The snowplow came again & covered our driveway with compacted snow. I guess i'll have to shovel again. It's quite fun, though it's freezin cold out there. I might get frostbitten if i'm not careful. So i put on several layers of clothes. Hmmm...ang cute ko pala sa colorful attire ko. Teka, magkodakan na rin kaya kami.

Dear Diary,
The temperature went up a little this morning, turning the snow on the street into brownish-grey slush because of the dirt. Then at night, the temp plunged to below zero again & everything turned icy. Ang pula-pula na ng ilong ko. A tree limb snapped & fell on my sister's new car. Geez, what a hassle! More snow & ice predicted. SHo-shovel na naman ako?! Ah, l___e,sumasakit na ang likod ko! Whew!..how i miss Enteng my houseboy.

Dear Diary,
Weather reports predict more snow. Wind chill: 7 degrees! Nagli-leak na yung bubong ng utol ko. All the plumbing pipes are frozen. Ano ba yan! Wala pang katulong! Mukhang ako na naman ang gagawa! 'T___ i_a, ang hirap ng buhay ng walang maid. pag bumalik pa yung hayop na snowplow na yun,sasalubungin ko na sya ng pala at palakol!

Dear Diary,
Anak ng tinapa, ang ginaw! Inabangan ko yung snowplow, hinabol ko ng itak yung driver, pero nakatakas ang kupal. Hindi ko mahabol dahil ang sakit ng mga daliri, toes at likod ko, at lumalabo na ang paningin ko. Nabubulag na ata ako!
