Aileen’s Blog

I’ve got a few minutes left in my hour, back here again at the internet place (I was emailing instructors & then emailing classmates to try & get notes since I’m missing some classes for this trip), so I’d just like to share that I have gained four (4) pounds in the last week and a half.  And I’m pretty sure it’s all in my stomach.  That seems like a lot for such a short period of time, right?  It’s fiesta here, plus my grandmother wants to take us visiting all over the island so people can meet my son, so we literally are eating almost a full meal every few hours, almost every day since we got here.  Everywhere we go they’ve prepared food for us, and apparently whether you just ate at the last place or not, you suck it up and eat.  Plus it’s really really good food, so it sure ain’t *painful* to just run about eating here and there all day long… puttin’ on a belly… ah, vacation :-D.

Hey all– the little one and I have been in the Philippines since the end of March, it’s beautiful and I love it here and all that stuff you say when you go from a chilly Bay Area spring to a sweltering summer in the tropics… but oh my gosh it’s just so *h o t*…

It seems like I can’t check my messages for some reason at this internet cafe, but I’m glad I can get into the blog just to let you guys know that I’m not ignoring y’all. :-)  I’ll be back in the States mid-April and will put up pictures once I get caught back up in school, get the little one re-settled into his routine, etc…
