i.ph’s downtime has been longer than expected so i’m still typing these from a textpad. i normally work on saturday, but i have 2-day rest period this weekend as the apples are not yet ready to be picked (needless to say, i’m ever ready to pick them). the sky was so clear today that it was too different from the murky atmosphere yesterday. nothing really special today apart from having been to the center to use some internet because it is cheaper there at $3 an hour. then going back, passed by pack and save to get some condensed milk. kayo is leaving this coming tuesday and she was asking me about the yema. so, ‘cooked another one today.
one major comment i get from people reading this blog is that it is lengthy. i’m not trying to say things more than what is needed, but pardon me for the prolixity in any case. if you know me well, i am a really talkative person and since it’s a shame i can’t talk to everyone at the moment, i’m doing my storytellings here. 
tonight is party night at havelock north. i haven’t been there but i heard partying there is not bad. for practicality sake, we will be drinking a couple here in the hostel and then continue getting intoxicated in bars.
on other things, i am also proud to announce that i’ve finished reading the first decent read (i’ve been only reading lonely planet and rough guides in a while) i had since landing in new zealand, and it was J.R.R. Tolkien’s (the lord of the rings, the hobbit) “Children of Hurin”. i also watch films during free time (in case you are wondering what i do when i’m out of touch with the apples or grapes), and the most enjoyable film i had recently is “Amelie”, a french movie. it was so brilliant, with story line so simple yet the way it was presented is outstanding. i recommend watching this film if you could get a copy. my copy came from gokce (of turkey), a movie-buff/backpacker with a whole portable harddisk dedicated for his films. i copied several films from him, so that would be good to kill some lazy times.
that’s it for now, later!
