Day 5: May 11, 2013

Today we had the morning off which felt really good.  Instead of our usual 6am practice, we were able to sleep in.  At 10am, we went to our coach’s house for breakfast.  His wife and mom are really good cooks, and breakfast was delicious.  We had eggs, rice, sausage, and tasino (which I’m not sure how to spell).  We pretty much had the whole day to relax and do whatever we wanted.  They had nail salon ladies come to their house, so a lot of girls got mani-pedi’s.  I got one, and it was only P375 which is less than $10.  We had hot dogs and pasta salad for lunch, and then had a game against another boy’s team at 4.  We played our coach’s son’s college team.  They were actually really good and beat us a lot to 0.  I don’t even know what the actual score was.  It’s good that we’re playing boys though, because it’s definitely making us play faster.  My Lolo and Lola (grandparents) and a lot of my cousins were able to come to the game.  Nicole, Trish, Roshni, Daniel, and JP all came.  Unfortunately, I was only able to talk to them for about 15 minutes after the game but it was so nice to see everybody!  I felt bad because they drove 3 hours just to talk to me for a short time, but they said they enjoyed watching me play so that was good!  They also brought me a Filipino phone, and some Filipino food J  My grandma made me lumpia and pansit.  Lumpia is my favorite, so I was really happy about that.  And I’m also really happy that I now have a Filipino phone so I can communicate with people much easier!

After our game, we went to eat at Giligan’s (shocking) and then came back to the condos.  When we were getting out of the vans back at the condos, I misstepped and fell really hard on the concrete.  I felt like such an idiot and I scratched up my leg pretty badly.  So, that was dumb of me… 

The result of my stupidity.

We also got our jerseys today!  That was exciting!
