It’s nice when something old is new again, like when the floating bar comes back after its seasonal hiatus. And the same old, same old can be sweet as well, like doing the weekly Decay Dance. That was my Saturday in a nutshell. We’ll let the photos from the day tell most of the story:






When it was time to head to the floating bar, neighbors Jeff and Davina wanted to come along. Fine, you drive! Some other friends met us there shortly after our arrival.



Granted, that’s not the view I come for these days.









More dancin’ in the dark:
All good things must pass. The neighbors departed for a family dinner gathering, and Swan and I headed ashore for some food at Treasure Island.



Here’s to hoping it never gets old.
Back to the September 2015 LTG archives. Maybe it’s the pot calling the meat roast, but this post offers a nice juxtaposition of what a day in my life looked like ten years ago versus now. It’s all good.
Eight years ago, my walks were a little more chilling than they are now.

Speaking of distant memories, today’s YouTube tells the story of how the Philippines got its name. Never watched this vlogger before, but he does a nice job. I need to go back and watch the other parts of his history of the Philippines.
Here I go again:



So, bright and early in the morning, we begin our trek to Siargao Island. Riding with Jeff and Davina to Angeles City, where we’ll catch a bus to Manila. We’ll spend the night in Makati before flying out Tuesday morning. I’m not sure where blogging will fit into my travel itinerary, so don’t worry if you don’t see a regularly scheduled post. I’ll blog when and if I can, and when I do, it’s all gonna be about new stuff I’ve never seen or done before. Looking forward to it!
Hmm, there is something distracting about this photo…
Must be those big, tubby white guys. I’m off-white, but I’d fit right in.
There, I fixed it.
i.e., distractions removed?
Granted, that’s not the view I come for these days.
Yes, I’m sure. Which is how it ended up on the blog.
Enjoy your trip to Siargao!
“When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.”
-Charles Bukowski
Life sucks a hell of a lot more for some than others. I never felt bad for drinking to get through life. If I needed to get blackout to cope, that’s on life, because life wants to be an evil spy less bitch. That’s not on me.
Turbo, Bukowski is my hero! Both of us are former postal workers and shared a love of bar life.
Kevin, now, now. I said it’s not the view I come for, I didn’t say I don’t appreciate a pleasant surprise now and then.
Congratulations. It’s the rare man who can confess to being pleasantly surprised by tubby, shirtless white guys.
Kevin, I do think you read more into that photo than I intended. 🙂
