MMMiii!

I have a friend at work. She lived in the UK for about 5 years and just came back a little over half a year ago and she’s really funny sometimes.

A couple of weeks ago, she was arguing with another workmate and their topic of argument? Shower.

Here in the Philippines, a Shower doesn’t necessarily mean, in Jesma’s words “You know, like rain?” More often, it would mean a half-bath. Usually, it’s skipping the shampooing part.

And then a bath doesn’t mean a soak in a tub. It means soaping and shampooing–That’s Philippine English for you!

Anyway, I have another friend, Yu, who used to correct me all the time whenever I said shower because our bathroom didn’t have a working shower. Or so I thought. I just was scared to try because I had visions of it spewing rust all over my face. Since in the Philippines, baths are mainly done by using a dipper (Tabo) and a big pail (balde), he tells me that I shouldn’t use the term “shower” instead use pail-and-dipper… or something like that.

Anyway, I found out that the shower doesn’t spew rust, although it spews water EVERYWHERE. It needs to be replaced. I’m planning to buy a showerhead so I can really use the shower properly. I’m not sure how much that will cost as well.

The bathroom is also small and will need some decent bathroom lighting, however it’s a really small bathroom and a round fluorescent light should be good enough, I think. Our bathroom isn’t really glamorous. In fact, the sink has a leak so we don’t use the sink at all. XD

Anyways… I’ll check out showerheads once I get my computer out from it’s coma.
