The way I scene it

Here is some of what I saw yesterday captured in pixels. And oh, until just now, I never knew that “pixels” comes from “picture elements.” It’s great to have a learning experience at my age!

I decided to throw caution to the wind and do the My Bitch for my Sunday solo stroll. I wore my special shirt, and it must have worked; not one person I encountered asked me for money. (it reads: I’m not your Goddamn ATM)
Leaving the ‘hood
Where the My Bitch trail begins (or ends).
Through the woods
I was suddenly reminded of something my father used to exclaim: If that don’t frost your balls!
Laundry day in the creek bed. I sweetened their experience with some cookies.
My path turned rocky
Nature’s stairsteps
She waited patiently for me to reach the top of the hill, knowing what I had in my backpack. She was carrying that big bucket of water from the creek home with her.
A grassy spell
As lovely as a poem

Hello down there on Rizal Extension! See you soon!
Burn it down! Burn it all down!

Nice to see you again, Easter Mountain
MJ’s place. She’s the mountain mama widow I’ve supported for the past couple of years.
Goodbye, My Bitch; hello, Rizal Extension
The squeeze is on!
It doesn’t look that bad to me.
My walk ends here with a pulled pork sandwich to go.
Do you see what I did there? Six kilometers with a 100-meter elevation gain.

As I recounted in yesterday’s post, I spent my afternoon coming to terms with Swan on the new relationship status we’ve entered. I’m excited about discovering what lies ahead for us.

It being Sunday, I had a feeding to attend to at Hideaway Bar. The girls changed things up this week by mainly ordering finger foods. No rice involved; that’s a first!

Joy wanted to try a chili cheese dog.

I paid a visit to Cheap Charlies and The Green Room on my way home. Let me check the numbers from yesterday.

  • Lady drinks: 2310 pesos
  • Food: 2250 pesos
  • Beer: 990 pesos
  • Tips: 950 pesos

Hmm. I think being in a relationship is going to wind up saving me money!

I had coffee this morning with Swan at her my our place, or soon to be anyway. We are taking baby steps as we move forward, and I’m fine with that.

Coffee on the living room balcony. I foresee some beer-drinking up there in the days ahead as well.

I did discuss my weekly feedings at Hideaway with Swan, and she said she had no objections to that sort of thing. As far as I’m concerned, Swan is welcome to join me there and participate in the fun. I’m going to have to let Joy know about my new relationship status so she won’t be surprised if Swan does come with me sometime in the future. To be clear, I have not seen Joy outside of the bar for several months, so I’ve not been misleading her.

The rooftop view. I’ve got big plans for spending lots of time up there. Might even set up a hammock.

It should be interesting as I move forward with my transition from being a “player” to having a partner by my side to share the joys and sorrows of this thing we call life. I’m looking forward to it.

  1. That really is a beautiful rooftop view. Come October, I’ll be envying you plenty. But the one thing you won’t have in October is Korea’s gorgeous October weather.
