too much of a hum

i was humming and my colleague called my attention. she said it was bad because i was calling for the rains to come. well, it was summer, and the rainy season here. maybe too much rain will be bad. too much of anything is poisonous, isn’t it?

AJILTEJOE
i came to mongolia as a volunteer of vso (voluntary service overseas) which i have heard of during my visit to the UK. i have always wondered how it would be to work for a non-profit organization. it seemed joining the volunteer movement was an ideal escape from the many negative impressions associated with my profession. when the offer for mongolia came up, i readily accepted it. what mattered was the perfect matching of the job placement. i never thought i was going to like the place. later the cold weather and warm people grew on me that i always look forward to coming back everytime i was out of the country. i have come to appreciate the strong 'animal' flavor of the local dumpling and other meat dishes, the ubiquitous cyrillic signboards, the endless sight of the steppes in spring, the bright blue skies, and the repetitious 'san be nu' greetings. my list of mongolian stuff is getting longer everyday. i have had my share of bad experiences too, like being grabbed by a drunken man on my building stairway. but such only heightens my enjoyment of lessons learned in this land of the nomads. in times of sickness, i miss home and feel a certain loneliness. yet i seek or create opportunities to make my stay here as worthwhile as possible - do more work, visit other pinoys, go to a local bar or start a new hobby. mongolia is not bad, after all.
