These pictures are of the students attending chapel. This room is the same classroom that I teach my large first year class in - in a matter of minutes it gets transformed from a classroom to a 'chapel'. These yellow walls are the walls that Becky and Tara and Teresa? and ??? painted in 2002 - they still look GREAT! You'll have to ask them about Aga and his method of matching paint color for the walls.
I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7:30 AM until 10:30. Yes, you heard me correctly, I'm up and fresh and full of energy for 7:30 which means that my alarm goes off at 6:00 am . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and then I'm ready for a nap by 11:00 am!!!!! All you morning people can quit your bragging now about how early you get up every day. And all you insomniacs can quit your mumbling about how early you get up every night and don't go back to sleep. This is a card-carrying night-owl speaking who is proud of it!!! By 11:00 am, after teaching, I'm sure that I've sweat at least 5 lbs of fluid out of my body (and yes, to all you mothers out there, I am drinking plenty of water to replenish it.)
Did I mention that this morning I woke up at 5:00 am to obnoxious roosters crowing and someone sweeping the cement road outside my window? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I'm going to bed. Jeremy came into my room an hour ago at 7:30 pm and dropped off in a matter of seconds. I think I have to move him to his own bed and follow suit!
Goodnight!

so do you know any pilipino yet? how do you say hello? ( :
I'm assuming you mean Filipino! :) The local language is Cebuano or Visayas (Cebu is the city and island name and Visayas is like the province).
Since there is a lot of English in the country, everyone understands plain ole','Hello'. However, most greet each other with 'good morning' = 'maayong buntag' or 'good noon' = 'maayong udto' or 'good afternoon' = 'maayong hapon' or 'good evening' = 'maayong gabii'.
And if you want to hear pronunciations, you can listen to demos at the following website: http://cebuwebsite.tripod.com/adventure2.html
Yay! Someone else who understands being a complete nightowl!! I've had way too many people insinuate that I'm lazy because I prefer staying up late rather than getting up early. I can't help it! It's in my physical makeup!! Like now! It's 1:30am, and I'm wide awake!
heheehee... it brings a smile to see those yellow walls! What an experience that was... I'm so glad it still looks good, cuz I wouldn't wish it on anyone to do it again sometime soon :)
yea, a bit of Canadian sweat went into putting that paint on them there walls
