But, where I am? Definitely blue sky.

    ah!
    the wide open spaces!

    there was this article decades ago, in the Readers' Digest.
    a frenchman was visiting the usa.
    and he was very surprised at the so much space that the usa had.

    Anyway, I just received mail/fedex from the US and when I opened the envelope, amoy na amoy ko US. It smelled so good so mali yung theory na dahil sa sabon sa balikbayan box because even paper has that smell.

    I remember when we were younger UF described to me when she first got to the US. She said she was so amazed because the colors are more vivid - the sky is more blue, the trees are more green and the air feels so fresh. For some reason mas masarap huminga sa US. I'd like to see if there's a science behind that (quality of air in US vs PH)
    Yun treatment na ginagamit sa mga damit ang naaamoy america

    when i came home from the states,
    "duktor, bakit ganito ang amoy nang damit ninyo?"
    all my clothes had been machine-washed-and-dried for several months...
    i couldn't get my finger on it, until finally, it dawned on me: it's the odor of dead skin cells!

    even today,
    one whiff and i know that the clothes someone is wearing, had been machine-washed-and-dried for some time.

    Some S&R stores smell different the first time you walk thru their doors.
    its similar to the smell of clothes from a luggage that came from the USA.

    I'm sure they are vaporizing US scented perfume.
