That’s my Facebook profile picture. See, I can smile. Until some bitch stabs me in the heart and takes it away from me.
For my morning walk, I went the opposite direction on the National Highway towards Olongapo City. It’s a bit dangerous in the face of oncoming Friday traffic, but I was feeling suicidal brave. Made it to the Kalakayan gate of the old Navy base, then turned around walked back to Barretto on the beach.
That’s the Navy base on the other side of the river.The beginning of the beach portion of my hike.I got a chuckle when I discovered I was walking part of the trail the Manila Hashers did on Sunday. They named several of the “bitches” along the way. All in derogatory terms of course…This beach had been trashed by a long-ago storm. It wasn’t particularly stinky though.It’s been quite a while since I’ve done this beach walk. Those fookin’ rocks haven’t gotten any easier to climb over though…Not as long as yesterday’s jaunt, but still a good walk.
I know, I know. You are asking yourself “does this guy do anything besides walk?” Why, yes. Yes, I do! Last night I went out on a little lonely bar crawl. Even visited a new (to me) place called Captain’s Arms. Turns out the manager there is the ex-girlfriend of one of our Hashers. She gave me a warm welcome which was nice.
The view from the upper level of Captain’s Arms is quite nice. In addition to watching the cars pass by, you can watch the sun go down over the bay. Beers are cold too.You can also see the mountains out back. And last night they were on fire. Burning down that thatch grass I reckon to make life easier on us Hashers. The bar also featured this shrine which seems to have most of the bases covered. I asked the Gods if I might meet a good woman tonight and apparently I haven’t got a prayer.
So, in addition to Captain’s Arms, I visited Out Back, Cheap Charlies, and finished up at Queen Victoria. Went home with my brain sufficiently numbed to enjoy a peaceful sleep.
Buddy and Lucky were excited to see me! Okay, truthfully I took this photo on my way out. They both do go crazy when I get home.
What else besides walking and drinking? Well, I found this grammatical question somewhat interesting:
Useful information to know, although I don’t give a fuck since I’m no longer working.
It seems lately I’ve been finishing my daily post here with a funny meme take on politics. How about this:
It’s for the common good after all…
Alright, time to do some afternoon steps. What about tonight? Well, a big thank you to Kevin Kim for providing me a useful tool in making that decision:
Looks like I have some beer in my future!

It’s definitely “for fuck’s sake,” just as it’s “for God’s sake.” There’s some singular/plural wiggle room, but it’s the “sake” that can change, not the “fuck” or the “God.” No one seriously says “for fucks’ sake” or “for gods’ sake,” unless they live in the polytheistic world of Battlestar Galactica. But people who speak a certain dialect do say “for God’s sakes.” That’s an acceptable change.
Great pics of crystal-clear water! I didn’t realize the water at the beach could be that clear.
Well, for goodness sakes, I didn’t expect such a clear fucking answer. Thanks!
You know, people rag on Subic Bay being polluted. But it’s mostly litter near where the rivers enter the bay. The water quality is really not bad. I’ve noticed lately even from the floating bars you can peer deep into the water and see some big ass fish.
Now that’s a Smile deserving of a little Louis Armstrong:
“When Your Smilin’
WhenYour Smilin’
The Whole World, it Smiles With You
When Your Laughin’
John, When Your Laughin
Well , The Sun Comes Shining Through”.
With regard to Buddy, Yeah he’s looking sad when you leave but I’m telling you, once the door closes, the stereo gets cranked up, the liquor cabinet gets raided and the Bitches are headed over. Peace Out!

HaHa! So you are saying Buddy is a party animal?
