I finally got around to collating the pictures of the cruise, and I’ll be uploading them shortly. Meanwhile, here are a few things I learned/ reaffirmed/ discovered while on The Cruise:
- One’s respect for any race goes down as the number of kids of that race present with you in the same room goes up.
- On board a ship comprised of people from 26 different countries, Japanese was surprisingly the language most pleasing to the ear.
- Getting up to sing in front of a room full of people may not be good for your image, but it’s good for the soul.
- Contrary to popular belief, Celine Dione’s To Love You More isn’t the most annoying song in the world.
- ABBA’s Chiquitita is.
- Next time you try and sing in front of strangers, don’t attempt to pull off a power ballad like Chicago’s Look Away.
- Most of the time, traveling with family is awesome.
- Sometimes it just plain sucks.
- Pack more shirts.
- I want an Elephant.
- Without any prior preparation, or even a script, a group of Filipinos can successfully entertain a room full of passengers who should be pissed at the delayed arrival back home, but are not.
- I now know that those Amazing Race contestants who get stranded in a foreign country with no idea when they can return home are well within their rights to cry their eyes out.
- Even when we’re not in the same country, Rach knows just what to say to make me feel better.
- You can never take too many pictures.
- Elevators are evil.
Next: Pictures! Without captions!
Also, If I haven’t stated this enough yet, Cruise Ships are awesome!
Elevators are evil? You knew that only NOW?
I think I’ve always known. But after an elevator killed my evil twin Manglador when we were but 12 years old, I thought it was just preventing the end of the world. I would later find out that it was I who it wanted to kill all along.
