Intermittent umbrellaing

Day four of wind and rain with no end in sight. That didn’t stop the Wednesday Walkers, though. Well, at least not the three of us who showed up. Scott needed to pick up some items at the Waltermart store anyway, so we made that the starting and ending point of our 6.5K wet day street walk.

Let’s get started!
Scott and Troy, with umbrellas deployed.
Umbrellas furled now. It was a flat walk but still had lots of ups and downs.
At least they are honest about it.
It wasn’t just pissin’ down rain. I do believe in all my years of blogging, this is the first time I’ve exposed myself. Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
All the arrows say go this way. Philseco, here we come!
Streetside on Philseco Road
We’ll save that hill for another day.
A Purok is a neighborhood within a Barangay. A Barangay is a section of a city. In this case, Barangay Asinan Proper is part of Subic town. I’m not sure where Asinan Improper might be.
Faith flows like a river. Apparently.
That’s the smallest gas station I ever did see.
An angry sky.
What are they building here?
A new hospital, you say? I’ll believe it when I see it. (The construction site appeared to be abandoned)
A big fence at this cemetery. I understand people are dying to get in there. (sorry, I couldn’t resist the dad joke opportunity)
A different road through another neighborhood.
I found this to be a pleasant view. I like that little pavilion on the pond. Mosquitos probably do too.
We crossed this bridge we came to it.
Riverside living.
The Barangay Hall.
Umbrellas up!
And down again.
Yeah, it appears Mother Nature was fucking with us.
What a downpour looks like.
No jumping over this puddle.
And back at Waltermart.
The way it looked on MapMyWalk.

It was good to be out and about, but days of continuous rainfall gets old quick. It didn’t stop raining last night either, but that didn’t stop me–I had work to do:

Somebody had to feed those hungry gals at Hideaway. Last night they chowed down on roast chicken…
…and some beefy dish.
With brownies for dessert, of course.

I also rang the bell, which means buying all the girls a drink. Hey, I was feeling rich after all that money I saved by not going out on Tuesday!

Eat it up, ladies!
Mhel appears satisfied
I’m not sure if Joy is having an orgasm or getting ready to vomit.

Anyway, I hadn’t seen my friends at Whiskey Girl in a while, so I popped in there after completing my mission at Hideaway.

Nice to see you again, Jen and Kim.

And for the record, I’ve told all my bargirl friends that I’m now in a relationship. They all seem happy for me. Why wouldn’t they be? I’m still buying lady drinks, after all.

I did my nightcap at Snackbar.

I quenched the thirst of Jenn and Lydell before I made my way back home.

It was interesting to be back out on the town after taking a night off. I guess I’m transitioning to a new way of life, but I don’t expect I’ll be letting go of the old one completely. It’s been said that variety is the spice of life, so maybe it’s time I get seasoned. And tonight, I’ll again join Swan for dinner at her/our place. And beers on the patio!

I’m a lucky man.

  1. I hadn’t seen Troy’s beard in a while. It’s become quite lush. He’s really going for that dwarf-warrior look. Give that man a battle axe!

    Those first bowls of food, the roast chicken… I stared at those bowls for a bit and thought they looked like ice cream.

    Too bad about all the rain, but I’m sure it builds character.
