We awoke in the morning to a clear blue sky and headed downstairs for another amazing breakfast prepared by Ate (Aunty) Dinah. Shortly after, we took a short walk to Pastor Ely’s Church to visit the kindergarteners. Unbeknown to us was that we would be entertaining the children. We had nothing prepared or planned but...

This morning we were woken up at 6:00 am. We then had to pack up all our bags and get ready for the long trip to Sagay. After packing, we left the hotel to go to breakfast where we had rice, egg, sweet rolls and beef and onion. Once we had finished and said our... Continue Reading →
This morning we woke up bright and early as usual, much to my distaste, packed our bags and strapped them to the top of the bus. After breakfast we began the long 3 hour bus journey to Sagay – which I slept through. We arrived at lunch time to the place where we’ll be eating... Continue Reading →
Sharing a room with the reigning balut eating queen was interesting, but despite the odd aroma filling the room, I managed to get a good night sleep.

Today we all woke up mentally and physically drained due to the effects of Lugaw and working in the rice field. Everyone quickly cheered up once they saw the food Aunty Dinah served up for breakfast; however, this happiness would not last long once we figured out what we were all doing next. Once everyone...

This morning began with the usual early 6:00 start that marked the beginning of day 5! We loaded onto tricycles and rode to our ever-famous Casa Lim, where we had a breakfast of rice, sausages, egg and special sweet bread that is made of a local plant. In order to get to know one another... Continue Reading →
Day……… not actually too sure. We’re having such a good trip a couple of us have lost track of time! As you all know, yesterday was Lugaw Day (a time of hungry bellies and armpit sweat). This means that the moment we woke up we were REARING for some breaky. A short drive to Pastor... Continue Reading →
