Greetings Earthlings. A rainy day here in the lovely Philippines. That’s newsworthy only because we actually had a solid week of glorious sunshine. I’d convinced myself that rainy season had ended early. Oh well, this too shall pass!

In the Facebook memories feature I was reminded of this photo taken three years ago:

Shocking to see just how fat I truly was. Well, that’s married life for you I guess…

Just for shits and giggles I posed for a similar shot yesterday:

I’m not the man I used to be, that’s for sure. Heh, I guess that’s the difference between being married and single…

As you can see in the photo above, my Buddy was in a playful mood. He loves to gnaw on stuff, like my shoes. He usually does it when I’m not wearing them though. I’ve been giving him a combination of tough love and chew toys to save my shoes. He’s pretty smart, he’ll figure it out soon. I hope.

Buddy says “that’s not funny!”

And last but certainly not least, a very Happy Birthday to my first born daughter, Renee Bonnie.

Hard to believe she is 43 now. Especially given the fact that her father is only 30. Yes, that is how I self identify. Don’t be an ageism bigot!

If the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes
If the rain comes

Can you hear me
That when it rains and shines
It’s just a state of mind
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
