wOW TODAY mAY 17TH i THINK..not sure..

I met a Mexican woman... YAYA... i was sooo excited cuz there are hardly any Latinos here.. shes from mexico city and came for the Indaba (a intnl convention for trade, etc.) there was also a polish guy...
Oh yes speaking of Latinos!! Like always.. hehe... I am mistaken for lotsa things... wherever I go people think I belong to that ethnicity or race...
like one guy calls me Miss. Brazilian!! (lol) Ya I ve gotten like Portugese buncha times.. Italian also.. and yes WHITE!!!! (can u believe it???) lol.. The first time I was shocked outta my mind.. This one old guy at a restaurant started speaking to me in Italian n i wa s like HUh.. He said arent u Italian?? I was like NO Indian... he was shocked so was his wife... then hes like indian.. italian same thing (LOL)... tht was interesting .. another time.. we were standing in line at Pick nnPay (grocery store like safeway).. n this Black Zulu lady started talking to my friend who is also Black Zulu.. n she was commenting on how parents spend too much money on lil kids by buyin em all these brand name shoes, etc.. i was like well yaa but u know parents wanna give their kids the best.. neways i didnt say much.. they went on n on... n the shes like u know in our culture, kids get spanked for behaving like this...n i was like whadya mean our culture.... (cuz i knew she thought iwas white or somethin) .. n i said whdya think i am?? like wha ethnicity?? shes like uuhhh White huh .. i was like no WAY... im indian.. oh she was shocked.. shes like u dont look like an indian.. u look italian .. ur built.. ur fair.. blah blah.. i was like LAFFIN (inside)..
yaa coupla indians thought iwas white n were shocked when i said i was indian (lol)...im like wasnt i speaking to u bout indian stuff the whole time??? but they r like yaa we thought ur a white person who likes indian stuff.. one girl said yaa i thought u were white n got tanned.. LOL..
lets see yaa some indians of course think spanish... and yes PORTUGESE.. (yaa i wanna be portugese)... hehe yaa i always wondered if some ancestor of mine was black or portugese.. cuz in Goa.. portugese settlers were widespread so maaaaaaaaaaaaybbbbbee???????
I really wanna know.... my cousin sushma thinks she mite be frm iraq or afghanistan..LOL.. like her forefathers.. hehe.. i definitely think i have some portugese or black in me.. (like ethiopian)..
ive gotten muslim a few times.. i donno.. oh ya some ppl thought i had black in me also..hmmm
This is interesting when i went to Goa (in Indian, predominantly Christian) this guy thought i was Christian.. hes like u dont look like a Hindu..lol.. Im like what r Hindus supposedta look like vs. Christians?? hmmm hehe...
Anyways back to now.....

i was supposedta study in the morning but went to Yasmin's to eat n ended up jus stayin till 1.30... forgot bout my class which starts at 1.15.. was late ( aww)... lol..
I dunno how time just flew by today.... 3-4 hours just felt like an hour or so... but iwas tired at the end.. i dunno how yasmin works straight from 10.30 thru 2... super woman..
im doin REALLY good in my classes here.. hope to keep it up.. got 23/25 in my intnl law written assignment... and like 92% in the class... which I think is surprising for the people here cuz 70-75% is an A and anywhere over it is for geniuses...
im no genius.. but when i tell ppl I scored in the 90th percentile.. they re shocked.. HMMMMM
i guess im still aiming for the 90s... im used to the US standards.. Otherwise I wouldn't be studying here at all.. (overachiever.. hmmmmmmm)....
Actually I should be studying rite now but I am here in the LAN (computer lab).. just doing TP (timepass).. which means i am just chilling...
n soon i will be going to Aerobics.... n then Ill get tired.. but I ll study for a coupla hrs... or less.. cuz I get tired n sleepy by 9.... so i stop... hehe..
Oh yaaa my friend Raj gave my Kheer (Indian rice pudding with dry fruits, etc.) and Pulao (rice w/ veggies etc). It was good.. ok for someone who doesn't cook... God is really takin care of me.. HEHE.. the other day my friend/ neighbor Alvina invited me to her room (she keeps inviting me ) For some reason she thinks I jus lock myself in my room (no i dont ).... she made chicken livers.. yummy... so ispent like hours there ... i gave her some dal n rice from yasmin's stall... she liked it.. oh yaa alvina is from Zimbabwe studyin in SA... shes very nice...
I was watching this show called Top Billing which is sorta like Amazing Vacation Homes on Home/Garden Channel in the US.. ok .. so they got to rich.famous SA ppl n show their homes/ redo their homes, etc.. quite nice... then i watched like 3/4th of Runaway Bride (which i neva watched before), n then Oprah's show on Pedophiles.. i was jus gonna leave halfway cuz I find it soo disturbing but i stayed... hmm DID U ALL KNOW ABOUT NAMBLA??? North American Man Boy Love Association.. OMG... weird stuff!!!!!!! u can actually register for $35.. damn!!!
The man from Dateline NBC caught a Rabbi.. yes a Rabbi trying to get with a younger boy... yuck... sooo BEWARE!!! WATCH OUT!!!!!!! my roomie last yr told me an indian doctor was caught.. he had a family (wife n kids).. so yes Monsoon Wedding is a good move to watch.. somewhere along these lines...
hmm ok wha else.....
oh yess.... I GET TONS OF COMPLIMENTS HERE... (Hmmm) sounds like im boasting... but maybe this is how SA ppl are... i ve gotten compliments on my skin... on my beauty (LOL)....LIKE guys n GIRLS.. lol.. no they are not lesbians.. but yaa interesting huh!!!!!!
maybe i talk to more ppl here than US.. i donno...
at the stall random ppl (i donno them) will jus tell me things when i serve food or when im comin out of the res guy/girls will give me compliments.. HMMMM (im NOT tryin to brag, just an observation.. i had to write bout this cuz its part of my routine now).......I think its hilarious.......im like hmm shld i believe em??? hehe..ANYWAYS..........
