Cheep chip.

Today I co-taught with Ma'am Berboso at ICNHS.  Since it was a lesson on speech, I felt like my being there was actually beneficial!  I basically read tongue twisters and poems out loud and pronounced word pairs like "peel-pill" to help them recognize the difference between vowel sounds.  The funniest part about our lesson was that my teacher sang the chorus of "Billionaire" with a strong Western Visayan accent to emphasize how important it is to know your vowels!!!!!!!!!  I didn't know much about IPA before today, so it was kind of embarrassing to have to tell my co-teacher that I didn't know the difference between /I/ and /i/ .  It's fun to learn things about English that you have to teach to teenagers.  
We went to SM today to try to practice our dialogues about buying tickets for travel.  We went to 3 different travel agencies in the mall, but either there were too many people, they didn't handle international flights, or their online ticketing didn't work.  I was going to ask how much a ticket to Palawan would be but didn't really get to practice much.  We watched some of a dance competition and ate french fries and drank Coke, courtesy of our trainers.  It would have been an awesome day if I hadn't had a headache the whole time.  Also, I saw an old white man at the mall.
As promised, here is a picture of the frog that came into our house last night.  

And yes, that's a normal-sized plug.

Patricia came over today.  She still isn't talking to me, but she does freely roaming into my room periodically to see what I'm doing.  When I said good evening to her, she ran away.  Of course.
Also, shoutouts to two people who did cool things for me yesterday:  Andy, who set up a proxy connection for me so that I can watch trashy American TV shows while I sit in my jungle hut for the next 2 years.  If I could just get it to work.  And Patrick, who is in the National Guard in Afghanistan right now and has updated me on how things are going.  And I guess the Internet deserves some praise, since without it I would have little to no contact with the important people in my life right now.  Maybe one more for the cornbread I had after dinner.
