Humdrum

I went swimming last Saturday, and immediately somebody asked me if I have been to the beach lately. I am determined to go to some beach one of these days, after I will have finished my reports. Jun, Andy and their labmates went to Bantayan Island in Cebu. From the pictures, the place looks pristine, uncrowded and unsullied by the usual tourist blight.

My neighborhood here in Cubao sometimes feel like we're in Communist China or Cuba (not that I have been to Cuba). The barangay administration installed loud speakers all over the place and unfortunately, residents here have to put up with announcements blared daily about cancelled day care classes, absent barangay tanods and missing drivers, garbage collection schedule (this one's perfectly ok with me) and basketball events. Sometimes, the barangay captain delivers an unintelligble speech. It's so bad one time I had a dream wherein I heard the barangay chairman looking for me. We're like a small communist country.
