The way I see things

Posted on by

Or at least the way I saw them yesterday afternoon.

My hike took me out to the valley where I encountered this flowering vine. Turns out it is called “kangkong” and is a vegetable used in some popular Filipino dishes.

From the Wikipedia link, this is an adobo dish made from kangkong.
And this is ensaladang. I’ve never personally eaten either of them.
Easter mountain as seen from the valley floor I was passing through.
These flowering bushes created a canopy over the trail that I found quite pleasing.
Back in the neighborhood at the conclusion of my hike, the sunrays seemed to be welcoming me home.
I wasn’t home for long though. Took a shower then headed out to the Arizona floating bar to catch the sunset.

I finished the night at Cheap Charlies watching the “two-week millionaires” (aka tourists) ringing the bell repeatedly at P1000 a pop. All the girls get a watered-down shot and the guys get to feel like big shots. More power to them. They appeared to be having fun and if they are buying lady drinks I don’t have to. It creates a different vibe in the bar I suppose, but I’m mostly just there for the beer anyway.

Everybody’s so different, I haven’t changed.

  1. Lots of beautiful pics, as always. The PI really does have its own charm. Now if only they could turn down the heat about 15 degrees Fahrenheit and reduce humidity by 25%…

  2. It’s actually quite pleasant this time of year. That’s what brings in the tourists I suppose. 87F right now with 56% humidity. A nice 15 mph breeze makes it feel even milder…
