Today marks eight months into my Philippines life. More good than bad by a long shot. The sadness that permeated my existence in Korea the last couple of years has largely dissipated. I’ve had some friends let me down and it is disappointing that I’ve not found the love I crave, but otherwise I have no complaints.

Regular readers know I live a pretty simple existence here consisting largely of walking and drinking beer. You gotta go with your strengths, right?

I was feeling particularly motivated this morning so I hoofed it over to the old Navy base via the beach route.

It was my first time walking around the old base and I rather enjoyed it. Lots more to see there yet, so I’ll try and incorporate it into my walking routines. A bit of a pain in the ass to get to (almost an hour walk) but worth it. Might try and time it so I can enjoy some dining at one of the numerous Korean restaurants or maybe Texas Joe’s for some American BBQ. It’s good to have options.

My rent is paid in advance for the next twelve months, so I ain’t going anywhere else anytime soon. Just going to do my best to enjoy the ride and see what happens next.
