Greetings from Payatas!

I am in Payatas. It is where the garbage dump is located in Manila, and I am staying with Flor, and Jireh, Rapha, Lando, Josie, Julius, Evelyn, Hannah, and many others. Jireh and Rapha are helping me write this blog. Jireh is eleven and Rapha is nine. They are very, very cute. Mariel is fourteen, and she is joining us in this writing. And now Hannah who is eight is joing us too. She is a great singer. By the way, Jireh is as tall as my grandson Braxton!

We live at Sto.Niño St.Payatas A in Quezon City. Quezon City is in the area where Manila is found. We are happy in our home sweet homes. We have a garden where plants are grown using hydroponics. We have three goats and two rabbits. We also have lots of fish and three dogs. We also have two cats and lots of rats. Ha Ha. We also have cockroaches that can fly. There are also mosquitoes that bite us every morning so Zeus has a mosquito net.

Our church is Christ Servant Community Church. They teach us the word of God. We are happy to praise God. We all like to sing. Our favorite songs are Faith and Hossana.

We all like to juggle, and we would like to learn how to play the flute.

We like to play games on the computer. Y8, miniclip are two games we like to play.

When Rapha grows up she wants to be a missionary like her father Rolando. Our church anniversary is near. On August 31 the church will be six years old. Hannah wants to be an artist. She likes to draw. Mariel wants to be an engineer. She wants to build a big hotel. Jireh wants to be a nurse.

Chicken Joy is what we all like best. We like to go to Jollibee. Our favorite movies are Narnia, Titanic, and Deep Blue Sea, and Little Mermaid.

Jireh remembers that when she was one year old she got sick, and the doctor put all my body on dextrose. Her life was fifty fifty.

Rapha remembers New Year when we were playing with trumpets and making lots of noise. She also remembers having spaghetti on Christmas.

We liked playing lots of games like badmitton.

Mariel also remembers New Years best. She likes the beautiful fire works with many colors. We would look up in the sky and see them.

Hannah remembers being very happy on her birthday. My father gave me a gift of a walking doll.

Rapha remembers going on a trip to Bontoc in Visayas, and my father taught me how to swim. Rapha only knows Tagalog and English though.

Jireh knows Illocano, English, Tagalog, Bisayan, Korean and Japanese. We have a book of Japanese, and we had Korean visitors in our school.

Ate Flor knows eight languages.We will have to go because we have homework to go over with Tito Zeus and Edgar.
