Hanging coffins

It's been a while since I've written. Truth is, once I got here I just sort of got settled into a routine. It was nice for a while after traveling straight for so many weeks. But now I'm starting to get antsy and want to move on. I've been working on the video for the hospital for the past few weeks. It's a definitely an ambitious project and I wouldn't be able to finish it during my stay. I've been editing using Studio Plus and got some more experience using Adobe Photoshop. The video is starting to take shape. The section I've been working on is about toxins in the environment, and their adverse effect on human health. I've become pretty interested in the topic. It's easy to be concerned about health when you're in the mountains away from the pollution the cities. All the fruit and vegetables are grown locally, and there's no fast food anywhere. I wish there was more to work on with the video. I was looking forward hearing some of the testimonials when they were shot filmed. But that's the way things go. In the Philippines it takes a long time to get anything done.

When I'm not editing I hike, there's a lot of trails around Sagada. It's getting cold here. At night it drops to about 10 C - nothing compared to what it is in Canada. Except there's no heating here so I'm never really warm. My favourite restaurant here is the Yogurt House, which is famous for its homemade yogurt. The owner jokes that I'm there everyday. I'm almost, but no quite.

Anyways soon I'll be moving on and discovering more of the Philippines, and then home. I'll keep you updated.
