the best Lingo ever!

Day 13 23/5/2010


The day we all had been waiting for since we arrived at the village. IT WAS OUR OFF DAY!

FREE SUNDAY from our usual routine of doing construction. Breakfast was scheduled to start at 0730 which was AWESOMEEE. I think everyone was pretty happy about this. Haah.

However, Michelle and I decided to wake up early still @ 0430 to help Tita Nancy and Tito Robinson make doughnuts. Ever since we arrived, we were excited to help them out with their doughnut making session and today was the day we were free to try out our doughnut making skills. I felt pretty dazed initially as both of us were still in our sleeping mode but soon it became fun as we tried to master Tito’s amazing skills of shaping the doughnuts. Even tita couldn’t master the skill! Yet we were attempting to outdo tito. Too ambitious I would admit but tito was generous enough to teach us and allowing us to shape most of the doughnuts. Honestly, I thought our standard was not even close to his since our shapes were either too fat or too thin or just plain weird. HAHAHAAHAH. Tito is practically a professional baker having about 10 yrs experience while we are just noobs at doughnut making.




We bought 20 pesos worth of doughnuts(1 peso per doughnut) from them for our team and we felt accomplished with our handmade doughnuts! P/S: I really think that selling doughnuts is a lucrative business for them since they are the only shop that does them and we saw neighbours buying 15 to 20 at 1 go. What a way to start our day, especially a FREE DAY!!!

Felt so excited to go shopping for our host family and finally back to a familiar civilization that was with aircon and wireless and starbucks. HAHA. Let’s get ready for the race against time to finish shopping, developing photos, surfing the net and enjoying aircon....cheers to all! I thought it was a good day to take a breather and explore the mall....
