Before we left the house this afternoon to run errands, John asked me to bring the camera. I asked "What for? We're just going to the store." John decided to take the scenic route to Toys R' Us, which kind of annoyed me but we weren't in a rush so I went along with it. When we got there, a bunch of secret service folks were walking around, and John said it must be a senator shopping. When we turned the corner, it wasn't a senator at all. It was the President of the Philippines! John asked the bodyguard if we could take a picture, and he said quietly under his breath, without looking at John, "Wait til she turns around and ask her." So that's exactly what he did. John had the balls to go up to the President. He shook her hand and introduced her to Hana, and The President shook Hana's little hand. He introduced me and I put her hand to my forehead, the only way I felt I could show her a sign of respect. The President was waiting for her flight at SFO, which was delayed, so the First Family decided to go shopping. What a lucky day.
