anyway back to beautiful days! my birthday was
one of those. the sisters went out early and got 22 pieces of pan de sal and
taho!!!! malinamnam for sure. (that is a real word ps and it means delicious.
my life became complete the day i learned that.) then we opened my package!!!
it was very pink!! lolz
then we studied. and
did weekly planning. and got punted from a few appts. taught some munchkin
RC/LAs, actually, told them they were lame and we'll come back when they stop
being lame. came home and went to bed!

juuuust kidding! well,
all of that is very true. before we left for work the zone leader called (he
was in the office for some unknown reason) and they all sang happy birthday to
me! it was very sweet! then i came home and the other sisters had made a
beautiful spaghetti dinner and we played games and ate spaghetti and had a
party :) and they gave me all sorts of fun stuff. like! a jeepney shirt that
glows in the dark. awesome. and headbands and earrings that have a face on them
of some famous dude here... and a coin purse... lots of fun stuff! best part
was most def the super hero birthday poster :) it was a lovely day
other things that
happened this week........ our stove died and was started a perpetual shocking
fund for us every time we cooked..... we got a new one this morning :)
also...... this week
was family week! go philippines

first off. every day i
feel like i'm living the Truman show. for reals. cuz everything just happens
the same way every time!!! it used to be we walk out of the house and someone
would comment on how mimi needs to die... but then she died.... we're gonna
have to find new out of door conversations.....
People wake up crazy
early here! and every morning without fail you will see some crazy old grandma
sweeping up leaves on the road... leaves are obviously the absolute worst thing
you could have on the road in front of your house and an absolute disgrace. the
dog poop, (hopefully it's dog....) however, can stay.
Karaoke is all day erry
day. like for reals. and usually involves drinking.... luckily, however,
because people wake up so dang early, it usually doesn't go super late and we
can all sleep peacefully. until it starts again in the wee hours of the
morning!
Every morning people walk around selling
things that they carry with them till they sell them. sometimes this makes
sense and is actually quite genius. like when they are selling delicious
things, like taho. other times however, it just seems exhausting! like when
they are selling something quite large, like a couch.
Everyone yells at us,
after we walk by. not when we smile and say hi buuuut like two mins later when
we're way far away they yell at our backs, "hey! wash your name!!!"
or another favorite "where you going!" which could be interchanged
with "Where you from!" in tagalog these greeting make much more sense
and are frequently used..... these are children by the way, people speak
english quite well, once they've gone to school. my favorite thing ever though
is still when my companion tells me about our living frophet..... so great :)
Well that's all folks!
good morning! and in
case i don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
