Comfort/Mandarin Orange Monday

Santan, Ixora coccinea

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”

~ Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Here's that rainy day.../SWF

Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams

Funny but here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day they told me about

And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way

Where's that worn out wish that I threw aside

After it brought my lover near

Oh, funny how love becomes a cold rainy day

Funny that rainy day is here...

~ Nancy Wilson's version here.

Seafood Pho

We were in Glorietta in early October after attending a trade show at the WTC. I was craving for Vietnamese pho but too tired to walk to Pho Hoa in Greenbelt. I kinda made up my mind to have a sandwich instead when I noticed Pho Bac right beside Subway.

I assumed Pho Hoa was the same as Pho Bac. The moment I tasted the seafood pho, I realized my mistake. The seafood pho was bland and didn't have the fresh flavors of basil and cilantro. The seafood curry was alright but lacked the spiciness I was looking for. We were full but unsatisfied.:-(

Island life/OWT and WWW

One of the 80 plus islands in the Calamian Islands, northen Palawan.

“It is true that I miss intelligent companionship, but there are so few with whom I can share the things that mean so much to me that I have learned to contain myself. It is enough that I am surrounded with beauty...”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Tangab or fish trap is a type of fishing done during calm seas, weak winds, and no-storm season. Fishermen work from dusk till dawn--they drop the tangab net at low tide and haul the nets up at high tide to harvest the catch.
