Alibangbang

Alibangbang means butterfly.  I learned this word last week in class and heard it in a conversation this morning.  I don't know what the butterfly was doing, but at least I know it exists.
My mom still isn't feeling too well, so she actually had our neighbor come over and do my laundry for her.  Since I can't do it right myself.  I think our neighbor got atises in exchange for an hour of hard work.  Not quite a fair trade if you ask me.
I had lunch again at the Mosquito house and hung out with those childs again.  I can't remember much else from today except that Meg's house is real nice, I'm not ready for 8 hours of class tomorrow, and "The Hollows" by Why?

I also remember walking out of my room this morning on my way to the bathroom.  I remember this because something about my attitude toward animals and food has changed since I've been here.  The guy on the right there, who obviously doesn't belong in the picture, has a kids show on which animals and different science experiments are discussed.  When I walked out of my room this morning, he was on TV holding a big turtle in his hand.  My only thought was, "Oh, God, I hope he's not going to eat that."
The sunsets here are incredible.  The guy who I think walks the Governor's doberman said to me today "Maayong hapon" (Good afternoon) in a very upright way. The other day he said "Good morning" to Meg and me and she responded "Maayong aga" (good morning).  He said "Maayong aga! That's good!" in a very upright way.  I like the way this guy talks.  Oh, and the governor of Iloilo Province lives down the road from me.
Today Merikar brought the kids over because apparently her husband locked their car and house keys in the car.  Panoy made really ugly (cute) faces and my mom kept calling him law-ay (ugly).  He is adorable.
Speaking of ugly, our Hiligaynon manual has this picture to define ugly.

You wouldn't believe it; I just googled "ugly woman" and that's what came up.  Second entry.
