Life with the Locals
... every time one of us flinched or when Borrick's wife would cover her face whenever the music would start building up. After Borrick originally told me about never having seen a movie at the cinema, it inspired me to start a new thing that a future volunteer hopefully continues: movie nights at the base. Of my 3 weeks there, we were able to successfully see about six: Ice Age, the Avengers, Batman Begins, Ip Man, Underworld, and American Pie (don't ask). Not too bad I ...

A Proper Entry

So we notice a lot of time when ordering food 'ok!' they say, but then something will happen like milk in the lactose intolerant person's desert. Fortunately I have made some awesome Filipino friends, so they are often around to communicate in Binisaya or if ...
