Day 2- May 8, 2013


This morning we scrimmaged a men’s team (I think they were a futsal team).  We beat them 6-4 I think it was.  After the scrimmage, we went to Jamba Juice, and then came back to the condos to change and shower.  A group of us needed to go to immigration because we still haven’t gotten our Philippine passports.  You’re supposed to wear jeans to go to immigration----so I put on jeans, and then was dying the rest of the day.  Jeans + the Philippines do not go well together.  Turns out, we never actually went inside the immigration office, so the jeans were pointless.  So that sucked.  Anyway, we all got our paperwork turned in and our passports are being processed!  Yay!  We had lunch at a pizza place while we were waiting for.  The pizza was actually pretty good and I got a mango chiller to drink (which is like a mango smoothie with tapioca balls—LOVE tapioca balls! Andi knows.  She loves them too).  I sent her a picture of my smoothie. 

This is the picture I sent to Andi :)

Once we were done at immigration, we went to training.  Our afternoon trainings are at a different venue than our morning ones.  Our morning trainings are on turf, and our afternoon ones are on grass.  Training was okay, but again it was very hot.  After training, I was REQUIRED to get a massage.  Needless to say, I wasn’t complaining about that.  But, our coach requires that everyone get a massage within the first couple days of getting here.  It was awesome.  He has massage beds at his house, and three masseuses came to give me and two other girls massages.  They lasted an hour and a half, and felt so great.  I fell asleep for the last 15 minutes (when she was massaging my head).  When the massage was over, we just went back to the condos to go to sleep.
