Our Eid al-Adha in the Philippines

Tuesday, August 21 2018 was holiday in the Philippines because of Eid al-adha. Eid al- adha in the Philippines one day faster than in Indonesia. Filipinos respect Moslems here. But we were so hard to find a mosque around our dormitory so we couldn't pray together here. We couldn't feel the euphoria of Eid-adha here but we were still grateful because we could eat rendang haha. My roommate, Chika brought rendang from Padang to The Philippines so we could eat it. Thank you Chika. Because that day was holiday, we didn't have classes. So we went to the supermarket with our filipino buddies as our tour guide.

Then we cooked together and washed our clothes. We have a mama in our dorm, she is Yeni from Gorontalo. We call her by mama because she always cook for us and we have a papa, he is 'Yo' from Thailand. We call him by papa yo because Yeni like to cook something for the boys who stay next to our dorm where papa yo stay with the boys there. Yeni is one of papa Yo's fans. In the dormitory, there are 4 units and each unit have 2 rooms. In my unit, there are Chika, Yani, Shepti, Inez, Yeni, Donna, Uni, Ina, and Tria. Btw, our unit is so noisy because we are so talkative but I love this unit. Unit 1 is the best, haha. At 08.00 pm we held a meeting with the thais and indonesians from other units to discuss about the performance that we would show for the opening ceremony of Sea Teacher Batch 6 in the Lingayen campus. We decided that Chika, Ari, and Suci from Indonesia would sing 4 songs and the thais, Papa yo and C would too.
