sadly, it took losing 200 dollars to humble my ass. although I cant really afford to lose that amount at the end of my stay here in the Philippines, id like to imagine it happened for a reason. whoever has that saved-for-filipino-couture cash probably needs it more than me. if I hadn’t lost that money, I probably wouldn’t have ended up at some dive bar in quezon city overlooking the smog machine that is edsa. and had I not been at this bar, I wouldn’t have witnessed the best karaoke background video ever- a hot white girl in a bikini dancing in the middle of a group of masai warriors. though it is worth noting that for once, the girl in the video was actually hot, I also thought that in the whole bar im probably the only one who is watching this video and thinking, gosh, how I miss the Serengeti and those crazy Africans.
