I was taking a ferry to Camiguin Island in the Philippines and there was this guy sitting in front of me, I took a picture of him for your enjoyment.
There young lady behind us, too, so, I that it would be good that her picture, too. She looks like Miss Cool in those sun glasses.
So, because of the way they both look I dub this post Mr. and Mrs. Cool!
In the US (United States), I like going to cemeteries because of the history that presented in the people that were buried there. I have couple of post about cemeteries i have been to in the US and some pictures of the people that are laid to rest there. So, I decide to go the a cemetery here in the Philippines. I was in Manila visiting Julieta’s sisters and there was cemetery near where they live at.
I do not find cemetery depressing, but when I went into this one..I found very depressing. Most of the people were not buried in the ground, but in granitic crypts or cement crypts above ground. I have very eery feeling about seeing that. There was husband and wife that die within few days of each other and that was sad and they had picture of them on the crypt. As I was walking though the place I seen sheep or goats in the cemetery eating grass, which i do not think that is good idea but…how knows! I saw on of the granitic crypts that was not being used and it had back part out of it. It was eery in itself just looking where they put the person at.
All-in-all I find cemeteries here very depressing unlike in the US…or down right scary sometimes.
Oh, on the Day of the Dead, I was on bus that went past this place that look like house, but I was really big cemetery..that interesting…
Here I sit at Jollibee again, yay me. I when and order food and I told the cashier that I wanted 2 B2 combos. She respond it will be 7 mins on the burgers. At first I did not understand her but after she repeat it again, I said that was ok, but she didn’t understand me, so I had to say it slower and I said kind of sarcastic in the way I respond to her, but you have to think about this, if didn’t want it and I would not have order it in the first place knowing I had to wait for it to be made. The she ask me if wanted one of the B2 combos, when I first order I said “I wanted 2 of them”, so that make me believe she was not listening to me when I first order it.

Today, I sit here in my wife’s meeting for work and they got alcohol to drink because they had lunch. I are some chips and drank code and sprite I was ok, until i started to drink some Brady. The first drink I had was very little and I was ok, but the second glass u drank was about half of glass of it and not as I am writing this I am little drunk and I am not going to drink anything more. I got drunk very easy because I did not eat anything and my bod is metabolism the Brady quickly, so I ate some chips see if that would halp me. Right now u feel very light headed and very loose like I want to pass out. I am drunk a little as I an writing you. I was going to go swimming by myself until my wife after her meeting, I do think I should go by myself, so nothing happen to me. —Delete Page— —Delete Page—
Ok, it has been four days since I wrote this on my phone, while I was drinking. First off this was exactly what I wrote my phone word-for-word. As I was reading this I looked at the date and I seen it said “Oct. 4, 11″ when it was really “Nov. 4, 11″. There was two more pages I wrote about daughter of an employee that was there playing with hermit crabs or something like that.. but I accidentally deleted both pages trying to write more pages. I think, I might have scared her a little because of the way I was acting or she might have been use to it because a lot of people are alcoholics. In any case, I laid down and sleep for little bit and I was ok after about 1 hour or so. What I have learned I should not drink “Brandy” not “Brady” on empty stomach!
Just for any one that reads this, I do not drink alcohol by any means on regular bases because of problems in my family with alcoholism, so I stay a way from it as much as possible.
Today, I ate at a place called Jollibee. The place is the McDonald’s of the Philippines. I usually buy beef and rice meal, but today I bought a cheese burger called Yum with cheese. The price is very cheap for burger with small drink and fries it only about $1.25 USD. If you were to get the samething in the USA it would be about $3.99 to $4.99 USD. So all in all it is very cheap to eat here, but like any place if you eat out everyday it will get expensive.
I have also been to McDonald’s here in the Philippines and McDonald’s, here it sucks really bad compare to the US McDonald’s. When you get a burger from there the bun is not toasted at all. It tasted like they just baked them and did not bake long enough or they over heated them in a steamer. So, if come here go to Jollibee instead of McDonald’s that is my recommendation.

When I got here, I was excited to be here at last after so much time. I was thinking this place was Vietnam just because of the rice farms and people going around in motorcycle taxi cabs.
At first I did not like it here because of the living conditions. The place I live in looks unfinished to “Western World” standards. There is running water and bathroom in the house, which is more then most people have here. When you have to cook anything there is no stove, but a wood burning fire stove or something that looks like one. I have internet here, but it is not that good because of poor WiMax signal and it goes out at lot. They hand wash all the cloths here, too, which I think it cleans them better that way, but it takes long time to wash and dry them.
They have a spider called Huntsman Spider, which is as big as my hand and can move across a 8 foot wall in about 2 second and disappear. I have see about 4 or 5 since I been here. They also have roaches as big as my finger too. There is a picture of Huntsman Spider and roach that I took before I killed the spider.
So, today I start my journey to different place in the world. I really do not know how it is going to end up. It was an emotional thing for my x-wife because she did not want me to leave. She cried a lot and I told her everything was going to be fine. I think she still care about me someone that part of her life and did not want to let me go, but I have to do this because I need a change and I need to be away from everyone. I have lived an unhappy life for such long time and I need to do something for myself. My life was about me working all the time at place i really did not like anymore and lots of time did not want to go to, but there was something I enjoyed about my job and the people I worked with.
So it begins with me being in airport at 5 am and standing in a long line of people and then going to another long line of people to get scanned by TSA. The amount of security they have is ridicules from taking my shoes off to taking my belt off. I can understand that they have x-ray the bags and computers, but taking my shoes and belt off give me a brake. The beginning of the flight was good and the pilot made smooth landing, it must been one of the best yet! Sitting here in the airport terminal on same really bad bench. I have almost six more hours here until my next flight…I really do not know what I am going to do and there is not WIFI here to connect to so..I have use my phone to connect to the internet. There is TSA employee sitting across from me..and he does not look very busy, but he is government employee and the do not work hard and get paid a lot.
