5 months

i can't believe i have been living in the philippines for 5 months already!!! i can't believe how fast the time goes. this has been a very slack sort of week. we are so close to our pst2, which is the second part of our technical training. we are split up according to sector, i am business and youth -- so my training will be in cavite, 40-50 km outside of manila.(the capital) there should be around 40 volunteers in my training group, and most of them from other areas -- so should be a good time. it will also be nice to get away and just hang out with other american's for 2 weeks. this weekend everyone is starting to travel and visit other people -- so i have been in the city all weekend with other pcv's who have come down to visit. it's so great to see everyone. i am in the city now, waiting for adam and jeremy -- we are gonna stay here tonight and then tomorrow going to guimaras to show them around and go to the beach. i am flying up to manila a few days early to hang out. i haven't seen the volunteers from other regions since we first arrived in the philippines -- 5 months ago. it will be like meeting everyone all over again. it should be good times, but i don't think i will get much email time -- so i'll try to keep this updated as much as possible. hope to talk to everyone soon.
