As I sit sweating in front of the computer, all I can say is that there's not much more I can take of this extreme Philippino sun exposure. I've seriously gotten so tan since we've arrived in Cebu. Before, visitors would say, "Excuse me mam, how much is this?" Now they say something like, "EXCUSE ME MAM, magkano ito?! While I stand there, completely oblivious. I AM NOW PERPETUALLY TAN.
Anyway, today was my off day and I went out with some friends from my K-group family! I had such a fun time even though I was exhausted from last night. There ended up being almost 5,000 visitors yesterday, 11,000 euros made, and no sleep for Shift 1 until 1AM. We worked 12 hours straight yesterday - NUTS.
SO CONTINUING, I fished for my first time today! Much waiting, yanking, screaming, and laughter ensued in my time at D'Pond. I'll post pictures sometime maybe. I've officially decided, after this experience, that I can probably never go fishing again unless it was life or death. Ugh, I just imagine if it was a hook going through my upper lip and the silent screaming they're probably doing.
Sicknasty!... Plus, I only caught midget fish that got thrown back into the water anyway :(
It was these two, middle-aged women, named Jane and ____ (DANG YOU SHORT TERM MEMORY + CURFEW) that took us around all day. They're both Chinese and missionaries in Cebu, Philippines. We were treated to Sunburst Fried Chicken and then taken to swim at one of their fellow church member's houses. All in all, such a relaxing day. THANK GOODNESS.
OKAY for those of you who have had no idea WHAT in the world I've been talking about or WHERE in the world I am, I'll brief-update cha soon!
