and the goodbyes begin
it's our last night here. clyde and j had to separate from us so they could spend some time with their relatives, and now that i think about it, i really wish they were with us on our last night here. anyway, we went to dinner for my auntie felisa's (ate julie's mom) birthday, and that begun our final goodbyes to everyone that we've been spending time with while we've been here. i didn't think it would make me this sad, but it really is. neneng had a good point and it's because you don't really know when you will be seeing all of them again, and that is sad. being here in the philippines has been rough because it is hard adjusting to the living conditions, but when you are there enjoying life in the states, it's hard to remember that there are people here that share your blood that love you and miss you. everyone keeps asking me when toto is coming here and that they really want to see him, and it's hard to give an answer as to why he's not here and when he plans on coming. i can only imagine what it has been like for neneng during her multiple trips when they were asking about both me AND toto.
anyway, today was a pretty laid back day and we didn't get up until 11am. most of our days here have begun at 7 or 8am, so we all relish when we got to sleep in. anyway, we went and had lunch at my uncle toming's house (my mom's oldest brother), which in pure uncle toming style was an entirely huge feast, then andy, neneng, and i went shopping at the mall... again. neneng and i got pedicures and i also got eyelash extensions put on... they are so fantastic! i'm not allowed to get them wet tonight, but i can't wait until i can put mascara on. she glued on 20 individual lashes onto each of my eyelids. with my eyelash extension and pedicure, my total was P1850, which comes out to less than $40. YIPPEE.
anyway, we all can't wait until we can go home and eat some american food. i'm ready for some in-n-out and every time neneng asks clyde what he wants to eat, no matter where we are, he tries to say he wants a carne asada burrito. yeah, we haven't come across none of that since we've been here.
oh, and we played thumbmaster the other night. good fun in tagaytay.
wowowee..........i love nang chit........redhorse!
oh, and "ging is queen!"
