I am most certainly not feeling the love. no entries into my competition? Boo to you all.
You're lucky that I'm still posting photographic updates (new one yesterday)

I met with the Poblacion health workers yesterday - fantastic ladies. They're volunteers too, and so passionate and eager to help their community. I met with them to give them all the surveys with mistakes and weird data to redo.

For all my "I'm never ever riding on a motorbike" attitude prior to coming to the Philippines, I've got quite confident on the back of the bike. However, I'm back to being quite nervous again after our trip to Cawayan last week. Malcolm and I traveled up there to do more surveys. Cawayan is the most isolated and hard-to-get-to of our target villages. The road to get there is pretty bad on a good day, and on the day that we went it had been raining the night before. The bike slipped twice in the mud! It was horrible and scary.
