Third trip begins

Well it’s been awhile since the last posting. This is where your typical blogger would insert a decent excuse but I have none nor am I a blogger by any metric.

I’m back in Manila for my third (and hopefully last) stint of the year. The planned stay this time will be about a month, plus or minus a week. Realistically there is a much more complicated description of the length of my stay. It may look something like this.

But enough complaining, back to blogging! Speaking of which, I think it will definitely be hard to come up with daily or even weekly updates. When I landed during my first trip, everything was new and strange; everything was ink worthy. During the second trip I noticed what I had previously missed and wrote about that. Now the strange has become expected and the bizarre has become normal. What does one write about under these circumstances? Work? Gossip? The latest and greatest Filipino movies? I’ll spare you from all three. Instead I plan to escape on the weekends: head for the hills, flee the country, etc. We’ll see what happens.

Obligatory weather report: Apparently there is a typhoon passing through. I haven’t been able to pinpoint where exactly this typhoon is passing, but from the amount of rain fall and wind speed I’ve seen it seems to be passing through in the vicinity of India.
