What a day!

Posted on by

Nothing all that special I suppose, but having a good day that doesn’t even seem special makes for something special. Oh, I’m talking about yesterday by the way. I’ll tell you how special today has been tomorrow.

It started out like this.

Did the morning walk with the dogs. When I got home I saw a Facebook memory from two years ago showing Lucky in his previous life:

Tied to a stump on a short leash and left to sit all day without food and water.
I think his current circumstances are more to his liking. He’s a fat lazy bastard now, that’s for sure!

I took myself on a longer than normal two-hour walk on the Subic side of the river. It was quite pleasant actually.

Even found the coveted mask litter to photograph and share here.

Over at his blog, Kevin Kim was talking about the wear and tear on his body and the change in his appearance upon the completion of his month-long hike from Incheon to Busan. Well, I don’t have blistered and mangled feet, but I’ve gone through some changes from my walking exploits as well:

Slowly but surely I’m turning into a Filipino!

After my morning walk was complete, I took a nap and did my Bundok post here. Then perused Facebook some and found these gems:

That was me nine years ago. A fat and happy married man.
Cum on! If they named a girls camp that these days there would be an orgasm of outrage!
Here’s a yard sign I rather like.
And some scary behaviors I don’t like.
I haven’t ranted about the stupidity of COVID restrictions lately. But this one is about as dumb as I’ve seen. Seriously, cars can’t park next to each other because of COVID? And now I’m hearing live music is being banned in the bars as well. Not sure why. There are so few customers around with the tourists excluded that social distancing isn’t an issue when a bar band is playing.

Alright, enough of Facebook. It’s starting to piss me off. Besides, it is time to play darts at Johan’s down on Baloy Beach. I was the first to arrive but soon enough a few others showed up and we had ourselves a little tournament.

Me and Vincent were the only males in attendance. Nothing wrong with that!

My partner was off her game but I was throwing quite a bit better than usual. That allowed us to go undefeated on the afternoon and take home first place money. Such as it was (300 pesos each). I don’t play for the money anyway, I come for the beer competition.

We got it done!

After darts, I headed over to Queen Victoria and shared my winnings in the form of lady drinks for my favorite waitresses. Then headed across the street to Mango’s to enjoy my ritual of watching the sun go down.

It did and then I called it a day.

A good day.

  1. “I’ll tell you how special today has been tomorrow.”

    This is (at least) the second time you’ve used cheap and dirty narrative hooks to string us along. What, are you reading Dan Brown novels or something?

    Anyway, congrats on the darts victory. Well done!

  2. Ouch! I didn’t know just how much you hated Brown until I read your post from 2004! you linked. I prefer to think of it as foreshadowing rather than a cheap and dirty narrative hook.

    Anyway, there is a Category 4 Typhoon headed our way and due to arrive on Sunday. After that, all bets are off!
