Farming and Jewelling!!!

I had a horrible day yesterday... I just made one dumb mistake after another, carelessly, and then had rotten luck... or whatever it is...

I got home at 12am on the dot. I walked in, went to the mailbox, and had received an awesome letter from my Filipino family. My host brother is getting married, and they invited me to "come home" to celebrate. I may just!!! My host mother also told me that the organic farm is going awesome, and that each of the kids have their own plot of land to grow veggies on. They harvest every 48 days. It made me cry. They also did their "4th Annual" Recycled Christmas Lantern Competition!!! This is something that I came up with, to help the kids learn how to better use the things that they usually throw away. My host mom says, "We call it the Caty Christmas Lantern Competition!" Except not to the director... HA! He's not so crazy about me. It's ok.

Also... I've been working at getting better at Jungle Jewels (BeJewelled) for months now... and I won this morning!!!

I feel like this is a stellar beginning to the week!!!

Really, what more can you ask for? Farming is therapeutic, and environmentally responsible and educational. If only Mr. Buko Ng Ulo was here for this day (Mr. Coconut Head... my dear puppet and counterpart...) He was integral part of the kids becoming Mga Kaibigan ng Mundo (Friends of the Planet)!!! I wish I could see the farm, now-a-days.

The only thing wrong here... I still struggle to recycle as I should... Shame on me...

    Actually... I just took my energy color, test... I'm pretty green. I'm much greener than most Americans, without really much effort. My biggest downfall is that I have to drive so much for work. I'm at the B level, though. Go to http://www.asimpleswitch.com/b2c/home to find out how what your color is! ;-)
