Weird Sighting

The last time I saw squirrels was two years ago, in my aunt's backyard in Long Island. So imagine my surprise when I saw a couple of squirrels doing a High Live Wire Act in my sister's school this morning! I mean, you never see wild squirrels running around in this country, do you? Our driver thought it was a big rat. When I looked harder, I noticed it had a bushy tail, and it had a companion! They must be squirrels! Unless, of course, the local rats have evolved into much graceful and amusing creatures.

Hmmm..... It's really very weird. What will I expect next? Snow in this country? When will that ever happen. Hmmmm..... maybe there is a possibility that we'll be having a white Christmas after all!

No such luck. All 7,108 islands will be under water before snow hits this part of the world.

does your sis study in San agustin? I work in Dasma Vill and I did see squirrels here. I wondered where they came from and I found out that a homesick American imported them then set them loose when they went back to the States. The guard where I work says they live on the small coconuts that look like acorns and garbage. I usually see them only on cool early mornings. apparently there's a colony of them here.

She actually studies at Makati Hope Christian School. I was supposed to send you an email on this, but I don't have you address.
