Wow! Has it already been a week since I last wrote in here?!! I guess times flies when you're fighting for it! :)It's definitely been one of those weeks... Tomorrow is my A&P exam, so if ya think of it please pray it will go well! :P
This weekend was All Saints Day-a very busy holiday here! But they really have their own twist to how they celebrate it. Starting yesterday (Saturday) the graveyards get decorated with flowers, balloons etc, and everyone flocks to the cemeteries and spends all weekend (including the night) holding a big festival there with their dead. It's definitely a different way of having All Saints Day!! Yet it brings out two very integrated parts of the Filipino culture. Firstly their love to celebrate and hold festivals, and secondly their concept of death- a very normal part of life!
Well, I've been sitting here now for a few minutes trying to think of what else I could write that would be of any interest....Sorry, nothing is coming to mind. So I guess I'll just sign off and catch you another time! Just to let you know I'm still alive and doing well! Thank you to all who keep me posted!! =)
Thinking about you all...
And quoting my dear brother Ben,
"Cheers!" :)
p.s. Time doesn't change here, so now I'm 13 hours ahead

Hi Sarah - Just got caught up on your last 2 posts! I will pray for you for your exam! I was just sick to think of the ants but just remember that John the Baptist ate bugs (locusts - whaich are even more disgusting than ants) and they do have a lot of protein! Oh the stories you will have to tell people for the rest of your life!! Love harriett
