The short trail option (4.6K) for yesterday’s Hash was such a breeze that it was practically boring. The fact that most of the trail was through the familiar terrain we traverse on our weekend candy walks added to the lack of excitement. I’m not complaining, though. In my weakened condition, the long trail (8K) would have been too much (unless I shortcutted). So, maybe the Hash Gods are looking out for me.
And so ended another Hash Monday.
I’m still making progress health-wise. I can now fart with impunity and experience no liquidity. Oddly enough, I now seem to be suffering from constipation. I’m sure it will all come out okay in the end.
Another episode in the Bali adventure from July 2009, as we head for the beach.
In today’s YouTube video, Reekay holds court on the top four reasons relationships with Filipinas don’t last. Well, the trick is finding the right one. There may very well be a lot of pain and suffering on that journey, but it is worth it.
You knew these were coming:
That’s it for today. Count your blessings.
About that Reekay video:
1. I was surprised to hear that all of his reasons for relationship collapse had to do with the woman, and nothing to do with the expat guy. Normally, Reekay seems a lot more fair-minded in his videos.
2. Around 3:48: “Other ones will hide the fact that they’re married.” Boy, that sounds familiar. Of course, you were good enough to lay it all out for Swan (or so you say!) as to what your current marital situation is; apparently, there are Filipinas out there who aren’t quite so forthcoming as they lay their honey-pot traps. In a heavily Catholic country, you can see how being married might be a sensitive topic. Then again, because the Church is so big on guilt, Catholics everywhere often feel the need to be sneaky and scurrilous, hiding their naughty behavior from judging eyes. That’s how you end up with so many out-of-wedlock pregnancies in Catholic-heavy environments.
Glad to know your squishy-squirt situation is improving. Maybe one day, you’ll be well enough to do a full-length Hash on the official trail. Tally-ho!
