Today, Andrew, Kelsey, Sean, and I went with Andrew/Kelsey's family to a family farm out in the boonies. We played cards with the kids, ate ibos (rice rolls) and baye-baye (rice + sugar rolls), and climbed a silly steep hill. We also crashed a funeral gathering on the way home. I let Dart listen to some of my music, which he didn't like. I came home and immediately showered and took a nap. My nap was interrupted by another brownout. You see, when the power goes off here, you can't sleep anymore because your fan gets turned off. So, you wake up even though it's more quiet when the power goes out. I tried to take some pictures of the lightning storm that happened tonight, but failed. Just know that the sky outside my house was jacked up for about an hour tonight.
Another one of the PCTs here on Panay is going home to take care of some medical concerns. It's really sad to see so many people leave, but for most of them they either have no choice or made a mistake in thinking they could handle this job. I don't think I had fully prepared for being here, but I am enjoying the adjusting. I just wish my body would stop thinking sweating is such a great idea.
