Phillipines- Day 9&10

I am not getting spoiled here am I? Yesterday after breakfast, I got a manicure and pedicure. First my family had a lady come over to th the house to clip and fix our nails. Then my Aunt Evee put nail art on me. Then, I got a haircut. My hair is still straight because they flatironed my hair while I at the salon. Then everyone in my family had a discussion after dinner over some things that need to be taken care of before mom went back to the states. Today we went to the river where I got so wade in the water, and mom said she remembers when her dad used to take everyone there when she was younger. Then we went back to my Aunt Evee's store. We got some more souvenirs for us, and for some people back home. Later on in the evening, after dinner most of our relatives came over to say good bye to me, mom and Linda since it is our last day in Daet. Tomorrow Linda, mom, and I will be traveling back to Manila, and will be staying there until Friday when we have to go back to our states. It just occurred to me at this time next week I will be back in Texas working, or pretending to work- however you look at it. I am a little sad my time here is starting to come to an end. I have to admit I wasn't sure how I would feel at this point. On the plane ride here I was more wondering how it was going to go. The only thing I really wish I could change are my allergies. I always had to make sure I took clariton and had tissues on hand. But, despite that it's turned out to be a really cool trip so far.
