Sunday on the beach

The Corona Hash group from Angeles City did an outstation run here yesterday, and I was pleased to take part. I even did some of the trail, well, the part that ran through Alta Vista on the way to the Baloy Beach On-Home at Da’Kudos anyway. I did participate fully in the beer-drinking socializing and Hash circle rituals. A nice way to kill a few hours on a Sunday afternoon.

I was actually one of the first to arrive, so it was just me and my beer taking in the view.
A little rain on the horizon didn’t dampen any spirits.
Life’s a beach sometimes.
No one told this dog that sitting on the ice is a punishment, not a reward.
Circle up!
On the ice.

The Corona Hash rituals and songs are very similar to what we do here at the Subic Hash, so no surprises. Today is the SBH3 29th-anniversary run, and the Corona group will be there to participate in the festivities.

After the Hash, I was feeling a little hungry. Da’Kudos is the sister resort of Mango’s, so I asked about the pork chops I had been denied on Saturday. Yep, they were in stock.

The only difference is that Mango’s slaps a pineapple ring on top.

After dinner, I caught a trike back into Barretto and had him drop me off at Kamto.

Always nice to see the girls again (L-R, Heide, Rose, and Lydell.)
You can see a little more of them in this shot.

A few more beers, and it was past time for me to call it a night. But I wanted to make a quick visit to Outback to see my friend, Bhel. I was the only customer, and I felt sorry for the waitresses just sitting around looking forlorn. So, I rang the bell to buy everyone a drink. That’s always an indication that I’ve had too much to drink myself. Ah, well. It’s only money, and maybe it qualifies as an act of charity.

How do you put a price tag on smiles?

Finished my beer and headed back home for a good night’s sleep.

And here it is, Hash Monday. No rest of the weary, it seems. But then again, in the prophetic words of Tom Petty:

That’s from the song “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.” Although I guess it should be noted that Mr. Petty is now, in fact, dead and buried.

  1. A little dog on ice sounds like a Korean thing to do!

    In your “How do you put a price tag on smiles?” photo, the chick on the extreme right is a huge cutie (undoubtedly armed with a boyfriend), but I’m also gettin’ some nice vibes from the nerd-girl who’s second from the left, with the glasses and farthest from the camera.

  2. Yeah, the first girl you mention has a great personality…good humor, witty comebacks, and can hold up her end of a conversation. The “nerd girl” is brand new, and I don’t know much about her, but she seems sweet.
