We were very sick. Michael and I are recovering from a ridiculously horrible stomach virus. We got sick the Sunday we came back from Manila, and it stuck with us for about one whole week, and then we finally went to a doctor on Sunday, to make sure it wasn’t something more serious. We are in recovery and would say about 90% there.
Things have been going well. I have switched work to try and experience something new, and I love it. We make lots of different things, like shirts for students, etc. I work with a variety of different people, from all over the Asian world; Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, and of course Philippines. It is nice to hear all their stories how they got here, and what their experiences have been.
Michael continues to work at Pagasa, and they are expecting a TV crew sometime in the next few days to do a segment on the Social Center there. After a few months of going without a haircut or shaving, “we” (and I mean “I”) decided that it would be a good idea for him to get one to be somewhat presentable. Unfortunately this backfired just a tad. Michael going back to the place we had gone once before, and were happy with the results, (50 pesos/1 dollar for a cut) just asked for the same haircut. Turns out that the barber didn’t quite remember what that meant, and just decided to take it all off. With a razor! Lucky for Michael he has a nicely shaped head, and is handsome as ever. And the cameras postponed for a future date.
We also went on a little field trip with Pagasa to…”SPLASH MOUNTAIN”! (This for me was a dream come true, for years I have been asking my Dad to take me to Splash Mountain, and I finally made it.) It was a nice place, lots of different pools, and slides, and we had a great time!
As our time is getting closer to an end, we are trying to live the present moment completely and fully, although it is a little tough as we are excited to see everyone again, and time passes so quickly with our days packed full.
We miss you all.
