*** Frustration
Tried to go swimming in the clean waters of the beach in Bacon, Sorsogon. What do I get? No company at all, seaweeds and rocks near the beach, a non-ability to swim and therefore venture in deeper waters where seaweeds/rocks and fishermen ogling at me with their telescopes do not abound
*** Old Age
Chaperoned my kid sister and her friends to the Halloween party held at same barrio. Not only was I overdressed already in my jeans, tank top, sandals and cute face (yeah, was cute….), it seemed that we were the only ones who actually take baths (body glitter on the other girls and gays notwithstanding). And the affair was also peopled by teenagers and I spent the greater part of the night dodging drunken guys who I know want to cop a feel…and watching my sister dance/chatter the night away with a really, really cute 17-year old guy. Sigh. The only time I missed Manila.
*** Gluttony
Imagine the freshest seafood and I ate them all. Well, at least I tried eating LISWIK, this frustrating shell-type of something where you use needles to pry loose the fleshy animal that used to crawl with the shell. But everything was just…fresh, I cannot possibly eat fish here in Manila again without thinking am being poisoned.
*** Beauty
Walked along the beach. Realized that apart from a couple holding hands while walking and silently just being together along a coastline….the only more beautiful picture is of two butt-naked toddlers playing along the beach.
*** Weird
First time I ever saw a whole lechon being chopped and sold…inside a cemetery…between the graves…and among other items such as viands, clothes, candles, bags, candies, softdrinks, etc.
*** Torture
Imagine sitting and traveling for like 15 hours, with only meals and wee-wee breaks separating your ass from the car seat….ouch!
And did I enjoy every waking moment of vacation? You bet!!!
