streaks across my psychedelic sky

It has been a long time since I last had a post on any of my blogs nor visited any of my social networking sites. I have been pre-occupied with other things. But yesterday was a good day to get away from the home-office-home routine and have some fun at the beach despite the not-so-great weather. Storm Signal #1 was over Northern Cebu because of Frank. Read about the storm here.

I don’t have a lot of pictures because I did not bring my cam. One, I didn’t want it to get wet. Two, lately, I have been averse to toting my cam anywhere to take pics. But I had my trusted SE k610i so I was able to take some pics. Also grabbed some pics from friends. See album here.

April showers bring May flowers

The first showers of April weren’t just showers. It was more like a downpour, with slick roads, floodwater in some areas and people wanting a hot meal. I was on my way home when the evening sky opened up and buckets poured. I sought refuge at one of the fast food chains. After more than 30 minutes of patiently waiting for the rain to abate, I decided to risk it and ran outside to get a cab.

Well, wouldn’t you know… I got a driver straight out of driving school hell. He drove too fast on the slippery roads, not slowing down as we turned corners, hand glued to the horn. I was holding on for dear life and trying not to bounce too much in the backseat (no seat belts!). I was trying to appear unaffected. I was not about to let on that I was so close to reciting the Lord’s prayer out loud. I felt like kissing the pavement when I got out of the cab in one piece.

And here I always thought April showers brought May flowers. That’s not all, it seems. It also brings out the hell-streak in some cabbies.

Went to KFC Ayala last night and saw a picture of their Famous Bowl. G ordered it to try it out. She liked it. I had a taste and I find it OK. Not something I would order for myself, though.

So let’s see if I got the ingredients right… cheese, sweet corn, boneless chicken chunks (like the hot shots and fun shots) and mashed potato with gravy.

I stumbled upon this article from washingtonpost.com. The article struck me as alarming at first, but when you read it all, it is actually very positive.
