My kind of nothing

I had good intentions yesterday afternoon–thought about walking out to Baloy Beach or maybe going into town for a haircut. In the end, I just said, “fuck it”, and plopped my lazy ass down on my favorite stool at Mango’s and watched the world go by.

This is what it looked like.

Yeah, I’m easily entertained these days.

But what’s not to like?

I did get up for a bit between beers to adjust my view of the beach.

Looking to the right…
And to the left.

As you can see the tide was really low which changes up the perspective. Well, all that watching time go by made me hungry so I called my waitress over and ordered some dinner.

Pork chops, of course. I did get creative by ordering some coleslaw to accompany my standard mashed taters and steamed veggies.

Shortly thereafter I headed on home. Had a big bowl of rocky road ice cream and hit the hay a little before nine. That’s just how I roll these days.

Woke up to some good news:

Today’s exchange rate. It was recently as low as 47-something, so that’s a significant improvement (well, for someone who is dollar-centered like I am). I’ve always used 50php to the dollar as my rule of thumb when calculating the price of something in my head. And a plummeting dollar is what I fear most as brainless Joe systematically destroys the US economy.

I guess what is good for me dollar-wise means the money of hard-working Filipinos is worth less. Hey, I’m just along for the ride!

And in the category of no good deed goes unpunished, I offer you this:

Man, I hate when that happens.

A good long hike this morning, I’ll share that story tomorrow. Time for me to head out for some darts now.
