Guitar TIME

Last night Caitlin and I went out to the movies and saw the new Harry Potter movie! I think it's called harry potter and the order of the phoneix. Anyways, it just opened up last night in theaters... I think it opened on the 11th in the States but I know in Ireland it's not opened yet. Caitlin and I met up with the Irish gals... the prepaid for our tickets a head of time and we met up with them and paid them back. Before hand we went to Domino pizza!! yes... believe or not there was a dominos pizza place right next to the movie theater! it was AMAZING!!!!!!! Because the place was air conditioned! Somehow I'm always mistaken here... usually it's as being Japanese but yesterday my name was Mr. Yuant, on my order for my pizza. I'm not sure how you get Yuant out of Tuan but Caitlin and I both thought it was halrious. "I kepted my ticket stub" It's a keeper. Well the movie was really good, just being in the movie theater is amazing and buying a white moco for ... 30 rps and sipping down a warm cup of coffee was great, although it's warm enough already. At the end of the movie I was extremely tired, I felt as if I was going in and out of dreams. It's horrible because both of us were just so dead tired by 10:30 and was dying to get back to the hotel and fall asleep. Actually, when we got to the hotel that was exactly what happened... brushed and fell dead asleep. I fell asleep half way into my rosary... yes yes, I've been procastinating my prayers again till night. I really shouldn't get into that habbit. Well, we both must have forgot to set ours alarms or slept through them... either way, it was a little pass 9 until I woke up and I woke caitlin and we agreed to take the morning off and work afternoon shift instead, since we're late already but both felt bad if we didn't make it to the shift today since tomorrow we're going to try to go to Nabo Jibon instead of Daya Dan. It was so nice to have all morning to relax and go by slow. We had breakfast at Tirupati and had some AMAZING banana pancake! It was freak'n stellar! I love bananan pancake! Today I also bought a guitar! I was trying to go as long as I can without one and seriously I was dying inside. I figured... I pay more on gas in half a week than I would on a guitar here... that i'd use for over a month and if i don't like it than I can always donate it to someone. Although I know the MC sisters have thousands of guitar... a few at mother house and 3 at daya dan that nobody uses but everybody donates so if i were to donate ... it think i'll just give it to a begger on the street so they can resell it... but as of now, i'm growing really fond of the guitar. I missed playing so much and as soon as I got back i just sat for an hour + playing away at the guitar and harmonica. It's great! It was a cheap little green guitar... looks like a Gibson ES hollowbody but plays like crap. Which doesn't bug me because it was 1200 rps with a guitar case, strap, picks, and a set of new strings. I didn't even bother barginning with the guy... impressive huh? Well, I arrived at Daya Dan today and Sr Capita noticed I wasn't here this morning. Seriously the sisters are so cute! They notice when I don't come, and count the days if I'm missing. They ask me when I leave when I'll be back. It's really great... so much love. Sr. Capita and Sr. Christalata... they're amazing! They're the main sisters I talk to at Daya Dan. Today was different because i was working an afternoon shift. the children needs to get out of bed and put into their seats for ... dinner. They wake up around 3:30 or so and by 4:30 they all have their dinner. I fed Bashker today and usually he has an amazing appetite but today he wasn't sallowing his solids so it made it a little harder and took a little longer. Caitlin fed little 4 yrs old Piya. I think Caitlin is growing extremely fond of Piya. She's such an adorable little girl, that has the most contagious smile, but then suddenly brust into tears. But yes yes... gotta love her; Lil' Piya. After dinner I helped the Massi mopped the floor and they laughed and were a little suprised because I was helping them. They thanked me afterwards and had the greatest smile on their face. Some of the children were put back to bed but many of them remained out in the main gathering area. We had balloons that one of the volunteers brought as a gift and blew up several of them. They children were so happy and the massi had so much fun themselves. The sisters were laughing and everyone was having a great time. Many of the balloon popped but to my suprise none of the children jumped or cried when a balloon popped but rather they laughed! It was total opposite from what I was use to in the states... at the sound of a popped balloon ... i usually hear a child cry not long after. But the children here were just sooo excited and intrigued by the texture and colors of the balloon. It was fun! I loved it. When the day was done we headed back to Sudder on the Metro and had dinner at JoJo's. I'm not sure if it's hitting the week or so and Caitlin's stomach is finally kicking in but today at dinner her stomach wasn't feeling so well.. and she had some plain rice. On the otherhand, I was the exact opposite, I finished a whole vegetables sizzler plate with steamed rice to myself! I was pretty impressive and i was happy I finally got my appetite back to do so. Well tomorrow we're going to try to make it to mass at Nabo Jibon and so I must head off and get some rest now if I'm going to get up in time to make the 40 minute bus ride to Nabo Jibon. Take care and God bless everyone!
