My eyes adored you | Long Time Gone

On my afternoon walk yesterday I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me.

Not much else newsworthy to report. The Taal volcano down south continues to spew its venom and there have been some local evacuations, but no residual impacts in my area. At least not yet. Oh, and Cheap Charlies has Zero in stock again. On the other hand, Alaska bar advised me that I drank their last Zero last night but that they’d get more soon. Promises, promises.

How about some photos from my walk this morning?

***The skies are blue. Except for the layer of smoke from people burning shit. It seems matches are always in stock…***

***As I pounded the pavement on the otherwise decrepit streets, I came upon a brief glimpse of beauty…***

***And right next door was this blooming beauty…***

***It seemed like these blossoms were there to remind me to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me.***

***And so I trudged on with an improved attitude.***

***I’ve seen a lot of things making their way down the National Highway, but this was a first. I guess when it’s time to visit the beach, you can always bring your own Nipa hut…***

***An unusually quiet stroll down Baloy Beach this morning.***

***I’m not sure what the Korean connection is with the Treasure Island dive shop, but the boat is named “Jin Woo” and it was proudly flying the taegeukgi…***

Did 16,000 steps, took a nap, had a tuna sandwich for lunch, and now I’m ready to do an afternoon hike.

And that’s about all there is. It’s enough for now.

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me
You couldn’t see how I adored you
So close, so close and yet so far away

“Nipa Hut” sounds like the Filipino answer to Pizza Hut.

Nipas are much more ubiquitous though. Food’s probably better too (Filipinos often set up a grill inside).

I thought Franki Valli was dead. Hell No! 85 years old and still on tour. I’ll bet he doesn’t even walk like you do. McCrarey, you’re still a puppy with many more miles and San Miguel Zero’s( if they keep em stocked) ahead of you. And more adventures for your adoring fans to consume. Bring it on young man. Peace Out!.

Thanks for the kind words, Soju. Yeah, I’m surprised Valli is still alive too. 20 more years for me to match him. We’ll see.
