July 11, 2011

silly scripture of the week is Isaiah 34:7

well last week i had LBM for the first time. i guess it was the 7 up two liter that i drank. apparently 7 up is bad right now, they don't recal them if they're bad though. not here at least. so iwas in bed for a few days sitting close to the toilet. surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. it wasn't something that i would wish on anyone though. not even if there was a fire!

so one thing about the philippines is that there are random people welding everywhere. out in the middle of the street. Sister Tobias told me to go to an eye doctor about getting a check up on my eye (which had the retina detach because i got punched in the eye by a gorilla and i had it surgically reattached in high school) and to see if they have eye glasses that block the UVs but aren't sunglasses. i'll do that this week.

something cool that they do to show respect here is they "bless" you during handshakes. really, they just put their forehead to your hand while they are shaking it. i've been blessed a few times already but normally by either girls or kids. i've also done it back to them for fun. there was this one crazy guy (literally crazy) who blessed me, it was interesting.


well that's it for now. i have a few e-mails to write.
