It is hard to end a vacation that has lived up, prophetically, and to the end, (from Boracay to Manila), as curiously wished to me by the motto on my hotel key envelope which said, when i checked in:
The wedding anniversary yesterday (that i was almost late to and had to run back from a pedicure cut short to make) was really touching and nice, a sentimental slide show and natural collaboration of short meaningful speeches by 6 different close family members, that was like a journal, or mini novella, of their life and travels and many times together. 50 years is an amazingly long time that i didn't really think about until last night, longer than I have been alive, longer than lots of people live or do any one thing. Here is one or two pictures:
Today i had to kill time, which is funny because that's exactly what the main character in the book i'm reading keeps talking about needing to do at this strange fancy hotel he winds up in, ...there are other weird unexpected similarities that i didn't expect, and it's kind of strange and creepy, much like this weirdo sitting across from me who i feel is trying to get my attention and he is a real creep. Anyways...
Today i should say i got to kill time, because it was rather pleasant. I got a foot spa and hair color and styling to prepare for a long uncomfortable plane ride (and those are great deals and they do a good job here). Here's pictures of that:
(i LOVE straight hair)
Then i hung out at the pool getting a little more of a tan and reading more of my strangely similar book. Wandered around after that searching for the brand of dried mango slices i like and want to take home, and well, the rest is not eventful really, it was basically hot outside and took forever to find the damn mangoes. Here are some last pictures of my wanderings through Greenbelt:
Emailed friends I met here, chatted on FB with them and uploading pics now.... this is getting rather drab writing and rambling as this guy in front of me is really getting on my nerves and it's about time to go anyways... oh well... the band is playing "stayin' alive" in the restuarant lobby now and i like it even though it could be a little more jazzed up. Sighhhh..... will reflect more at the airport i do believe..... sigh........ (song over)....
