We finished at Fabella on Thursday - Thank all of you for your prayers, the rest of our time there was basically more of the same. If God so calls on your heart, keep praying for those women and that hospital, even though I'm no longer there - He is!
Now I want to introduce you to my home - this little spot in northern Quezon City (Metro Manila). This will be our simple haven for the next 10ish months. I share this home with 3 roommates: Mia (fellow Albertan), Alex (Californian), and Sarah (Colorado-ian). But those are only my "official" roomies! We share our home with about 10 trillion ants, and some geckos. And also with some cockroaches, who tend to appear at shocking moments, like in the middle of the night! And as we have just discovered - a family of rats! Yes, over our heads, in our ceiling we seem to have a violent and noisy rat population that comes alive (and wakes us up), at night! It's kinda sick. But I have to rejoice - we may have ants, cockroaches, geckos, lizards, and rats, but we DON'T have spiders, and I rejoice!
The (constant) noise we enjoy around here includes the roar of as many bikes/tricys as our home has ants, neighbourhood volumed kareoke (a big favourite here), overhead planes, a nearby school sound system (think loudspeakers and crazy workouts/music!) and the barking of many dogs. Oh, and the rats!
Bedroom to 3 of us. Life is pretty simple.
Our little "patio", we keep our "ref" and our pots n pans outside.
The lane to our landlords garden and home.
Our neighbourhood.
Up to the main road.
