Phil- Am Day

Here we are once again. Week 13 is now over with, and I am still as surprised as I always am at how fast this internship has been going. I can't believe it's been 3 months since i've arrived here in the Philippines, but even weirder is the fact that I leave in less then 1 month.

As the previous couple weeks, nothing really exciting has happened this past week. On Monday we had a Barbeque at the headquarters to celebrate Philippine- America Friendship Day, Filipinos call it “Phil-Am Day” for short. But us Americans call it the 4th of July (our countries birthday for my friends not American). We had burgers and hotdogs, potato salad, deviled eggs, can't remember the last time I had a deviled egg, and beans for the Americans there, which were only 4, but we still made 30+ of both, and had fried fish and rice for the Filipinos that were there, though some did have burgers and hotdogs. And then for dessert, we had walnut brownies and chocolate chunk brownies with vanilla frosting on top. Needless to say, they were very good.

There really isn't anything new regarding the kids. Nothing really exciting happened this past week, no had bleach accidentally thrown in their eye this past like we did a couple weeks ago. Now that the kids are in school, the chances that an accident occurs is dramatically reduced, thankfully. But that also means that my weeks have been insanely boring.

Well, that's it for now. As I said, nothing exciting happened this past week. We shall meet again next week!

With the wind,

Mark

P.S. Can't believe I only have 3 weeks left!!
