I woke up this morning feeling sad, i'm going home today i thought to my self. "Mangadang umaga po Lily" said Nenita. "Good morning Nenita" i replied. "Today is my last day, i will miss you." i said "I know. It was so nice having you here." she said with a pleasant smile. I reached out to shake her hand put she pulled me closer and hugged me. "What will we do today?" i asked. "I thought we could take the bus out to town, it is your last day." she said grabbing an old brown coat. Cool i thought, shopping!! I grabbed my gray sweat shirt,  ran out the door, and hopped over the steps. Nenita ran after me, but i ran strait to the bus stop and waited for Nenita. The whole bus ride I looked out the window. Nenita and I did not really talk. We said at least 4 words to each other. I was sad that i had to go home late that night, but i was excited to go shopping. "Last stop, Bacolod City" Said the bus driver. "That's us" Nenita said hopping out of the seat. The bus driver had dark skin, a round belly, and a pleasant smile. He waved to me as i walked out of the bus, I waved back. Suddenly we were surrounded by monkey looking people dressed in bright colors like lime green and hot pink. They had big masks that had huge smiles on them. "The city of smiles" Nenita said. No wonder i thought to my self. Nenita pointed to a stand with colorful bags with beads and sparkles on them. I walked over, i held one of the bags in my hand. "It's very pretty" I said. I walked away and put it down. In the corner of my eye i saw a giant teekee statue with bright red lips, pink eyes, and Palm for the hair. "Look" I told Nenita pointing to the statue. She laughed. "Let's eat. There is a place on the side of the beach." "yeah, lets go." We walked to the beach until we came across a restaurant with no name. "It looks nice." I said walking on the steps. "How many?" a girl by the door said. "2" said Nenita. When we got to our table she handed us the menu's. "What is the best here?" i asked Nenita. "I like all the fish." I was not a huge fan of fish, but I am here to try news things, new adventures. "What would you like to order?" said the waiter. "Surpirise me!" i said feeling very nervous on what i would be getting. She brought out a blue fish, that looked burned.  i tasted it and it was good, when Nenita and i was done we walked out. "We have time to look at one more shop before the bus comes." I looked around, There was a shop that had bright masks like the people we saw earlier. "Here?" I asked hoping she would say yes. "Yes" she said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the shop. I walked up to the stand and picked up a bright pink mask with big feathers on it. "You get that to remind you of the time we had together." Nenita said. "That is a great idea." When we walked out of the shop, i stopped. "Nenita can you help me put it on?" I asked holding up the mask. "Of corse." She put the mask on my face and tied it in the back. "Thank you." They bus drove up next to the store. We hopped in and went back to Nenita's hut. "Good bye Nenita." I said packing the rest of my stuff. "Good bye Lily." A tear started to run down my face. "I had so much fun here. I will miss you and I will never forget my time with you." i said wiping my eyes. "Thank you for coming Lily, it was so fun." We hugged. I walked to the bus one more time and waved to Nenita, she waved back. The bus drove away and tears ran down my face. Good by Philippines, I will never forget you.
