Holy Crap it's a Bat

Well I had something happen to me today that was a first. I was heading to Davao at like 5 a.m. to visit Br. Dan and we were driving along the road, then all of a sudden something flies in the vehicle and hits the top of my chest below my neck. I told Prince, our driver, something just hit me. We waited a second, then he turned on the lights and it was a bat, I was like holy crap it's a bat. I started to pick my feet up, I placed them on the dashboard, out of pure shock. It then hopped on the seat and flew to the back of the vehicle, I was going to hop out and open the back door, but then it flew back to the front, where I was able to kick it out of the vehicle. Man was it exciting and funny. If only I had my camera. The fun of the Philippines you never really know what is going to happen. I wonder if I could be Batman now.

Well went back into Davao as I said to check up on Br. Dan. Br. Dan's health has improved tremendously. The dengue is under control as well as his pneumonia. The doctor said that once his blood pressure gets back to normal, she is going to release him. I know that makes him happy. It was good to see his color back to normal.

Today was Br. Roger's birthday. I really thanked Br. Roger today for always willing to take me to somewhere new here in the Philippines to help increase my experience here. He even talked to his brother about taking me to a gun range to shoot a bit. Since we were in Davao all day, we got back this afternoon a couple of hours before his birthday fiesta began. It was nice to have so many of his friends here with us to share in this moment. He even asked me to lead the prayer for the blessing of the food. And of course we had videoke, why wouldn't we. Unfortunately the song selection wasn't that great, but I made it through though not the best. I have been inside now for almost an hour and they are still out there singing videoke.

I am hoping that tomorrow my schedule will go back to normal, hopefully Br. Dan will be released. I need some me time and hopefully I can make time for that tomorrow, which I should because exams start tomorrow for students here.
