Yesterday may not have been perfect, but it was good enough for me. We began the day with a walk to the Subic marketplace, where Swan needed to replenish her candy supply for the upcoming Sunday Candy walk. Strolling on the National Highway is no fun, so to the extent we could, we detoured onto back streets to avoid the traffic. It added some distance, but we got to the market in just under eight kilometers.
I wasn’t feeling real motivated, and there were several times when I was tempted just to say “fuck this” and take a Jeepney instead. But when I saw this on the wall early in the hike, I answered affirmatively:
Back home after a 200 peso trike ride, and Swan made me chicken fajitas for lunch.
When beer o’clock arrived, I decided an evening at The Rite Spot was in order.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the big screen, including one about Japan’s capture of Manila in December 1941. Let’s hope history in the form of China doesn’t repeat itself. I had a good night’s sleep, and I woke to another fine day in paradise. Keep ’em coming!
Facebook reminded me that eight years ago I met a Korean lass named Eun Oke. We had some good times and some bad times, but in the end I grew tired of her drama. It was fun while it lasted. Mostly.
Reekay holds court in today’s YouTube video, sharing the stories of three foolish men who got fucked by Filipinas, and not in the good way. What was it Forrest Gump said? Stupid is as stupid does. I’ve had my share of fuckups and been scammed a couple of times, but not at this level.
And now for some humor:
Gonna do the SOB tonight. Had a nice time on today’s hike in Tibag. Tell you all about it tomorrow.
This gal was a couple of months younger than me
Gal? I see a masculine Spanish first name and a mustache. We lookin’ at the same picture? Am I missing a joke?
I don’t recall ever seeing a green ship before
A first for me, too.
And then darkness descended.
A beautiful series of shots, and a nice day of candy distribution followed by good eats. (Just put some sisig in a tortilla and call it a Filipino fajita!)

I noticed the same thing also. I actually also know a guy named Gerardo. I guess in the PI you never know. LOL
PS. The food looks good!!
Brian, yeah, I’m a dumb shit. When I look at those funeral posters, I focus on the birthdate. So, for some reason, Geraldo appeared female at first glance, and I never looked back. How I managed to post the photo and write a caption without noticing my mistake is mind-boggling.
Kev, no, you are not missing the joke. The joke is on me. I fucked up. I focused on the birthdate and not the gender. That’s dumb, even by my low standards.
Almost everything is better in a tortilla (and easier to eat)!
