Monday, August 24, 2020 Flashbacks. The weekend was full of flashbacks. It started Saturday morning. Usually, Saturdays means “sleeping in” (until 8AM – woohoo). But this Saturday started with a rude awakening. “Get up!”, she said. The blackout shades had me confused. She had me confused. Sleep had me, well, confused. “Yeah sure, I have […]

Wednesday, August 19, 2020 I’ve come to the conclusion that my office chair is defective. Every morning, I get up, shower, get dressed and have my breakfast. At that point, I’ll try to recall what I have to do for the rest of my day. I have it written down and even marked up the […]

Friday, August 14, 2020 The rains today were spectacular. Mixed with the symphonies of thunder and the hum as the rain abused our tin roof, I had a very therapeutic morning and afternoon. Then strumming through some of the social media chatter I saw how Fran Hogan, from franhoganphotography.com mentioned how she’s going to buy […]

Wednesday, August 12, 2020 WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO, WOOOOOT WOOOOT… My world is a symphony of onomatopoeia and that was my rendition of my recently installed “Naughty Word Proximity Alarm”. It can’t distinguish between humorous naughty words or the words that come from my mouth when referring to MEDUCA and their weak attempts at educating the country’s youth.

Monday, August 10, 2020 Last week, I commented that Fridays are like New Years for me. But if Fridays are like New Years, then Mondays to me are synonymous with the joys of Christmas.

Wednesday, August 05, 2020 The alarm I set for 4:30AM sounds off which gives Queen Sayira an unexpected start to her slumber. A bit sluggish myself, I work my way to the clothes I have laid out with such delicate care only to abuse them later with the smells of nature and the blaring sun. My old, faded, yet […]

Thursday, July 30, 2020 This sucks. There’s no doubt about it. The worst part of this suckiness is that it’s the type of suck that we can’t readily control. Today I had a talk with a friend who’s in a position where he has to abandon ship; time to close up shop and head back to the ‘States. […]
