OOG & only a month

3 comments

OOG.....  only on guam.  it's a phrase we guammies use when there are no other words/ explanations for some unique guam-ism we've encountered.
and i can't believe we have less than a month here on this island!  goes by so fast.....
& here is a typical OOG story....
so this weekend we went to the island cultural fair with some friends.  it was fun.  it was hot.  lena was crazy.  we had fun.  we saw some coconut crabs, lena played with some coconuts by a latte stone & then she rode a carabao.  only on guam right?  we ate some shaved ice, lena swung herself from a proa & the senator called her a chammorita & wrote down the secret meat marinade recipe for me.  we must be locals now!
we will miss this place!

you don't wanna put your finger anywhere near those guys

"ok, you bend back like this...."
