Laid Back and Relaxed
Yesterday I went for what was to be a short walk. Right away we noticed that Bogo was empty. The only thing that seemed to show any activity at all were the buses out of Bogo headed south to Sinulog in Cebu City. We saw far more buses than normal and they were all packed full. Some with people standing. The buses going north were close to empty. Seems like Jessie and I are the only people not going to the festival.
What started out as a walk ended up spending the entire afternoon at the Pizza Pub and into the evening. I even broke down and had a pizza. They 
didn’t mess it up. The waitress that was most likely to foul it up is now working for someone else. She’s a pretty girl, her name is Jovi. Jessie snapped this picture of her yesterday. She has a very sweet and fun personality. She seemed to be chatting with her family or friends in the park.
I enjoyed spending the day not doing a darn thing. I was wishing I had a Eeee PC though. So I could blog about my being there. We sat outside until evening but when the sun went down the mosquitoes came out. We finally gave up and went inside and the dang things seemed to ride in with us.
Our waitress, Jenelyn was having a hard time keeping up but there were not a lot of people there. Maybe the people were being impatient. A Korean family came by and stared at me, well the children did and watched me eat Cheese Hungarian. I asked Jessie what that was all about but she didn’t understand either.
Lots of pretty Filipina strolling by as I smoked another of my cigars. I’m limiting myself to no more than one per week. Last thing I want to do is get that habit back, besides, it ruins the fun of smoking. I get a pretty decent buzz off my cigar and I don’t want to loose that.
I’m thinking of goofing off most of the day today as well but I need to do it more cheaply and without as many calories. Jessie seems to be turning into a one woman eating machine. LOL She’s going to smack me. I certainly need to go for a walk but as I type this, I’m feeling sleepy. I’ll probably loose the battle and fall to sleep.
It is a bit more humid today but the weather is still very mild. The aircon has been off for about two hours and the windows are not open. The clouds seem to be still hanging around. It rained just a little bit last evening, just enough to barely wet the streets.
I’m thinking of a trip to San Remegio tomorrow to visit the Catholic Church there. I’d like to go today but it is Sunday and probably will have much going on. Have to see how I feel about it tomorrow.
I am having a lot of trouble seeing today. My vision is rather blurred which may mean my blood sugar is high but my testing meter died so I can’t take it. I have one ordered. It should be in Cebu City soon.

Hi Rusty, looks like a mello day for you…
Rusty, sundays can be mellow days, hey Nel are you out there? I miss seeing your comments!
It was very mellow here this weekend. Most of the town was out of town as everyone was in Cebu City for the “Mother of Festivals” aka Sinulog
hi, Rusty…. I’m Vivian, a brief introduction to myself…. I currently stay here Mandaue City (Brgy. Pagsabungan) with my daughter who is in Grade one now… I love reading your blogs here…. and it gives me idea creating my own blog… LOL anyway… I love all your photos taken and I’m sure, it’s evidently a DSLR cam…. Love it…. I love taking pictures too… got lots of pics in my friendster account… if u do have, u may add me [email protected]
Hi Vivian! Glad to have you here. I hope you’ll post often. I will try to remember to check my Friendster and add you. I don’t visit there often.
Nope, not a DSLR Camera but I need to replace my camera, its about 8 years old and is giving me a lot of problems. I spent all day yesterday just importing my last batch of pictures. I thought I had lost them all. I do have my eye on either an Cannon or Nikon, not sure which one I will get, once I can get it.
I know one Vivian but pretty sure your not the same one as I don’t believe she has a child. If you know an expat named Paul, then you probably are the same one.
I will know for sure when I check out your Friendster, but nearly positive now.
Hi, Rusty!!! Thanks for the reply… I’m not used to post comments in any sites here… but i have realized it is one way to ease my boredom here at home…. i love only to post as to the person I’m talking to is responsive… i wish to have to have my own website and post my blogs there like yours… I have checked your account in VBR site…
God bless!!!
Hi Vivian!
Nice to hear from you again.
I got your request on Multiply account but I can’t seem to find it. You may have sent it to and old account that I have been unable to access in a while.
Try this one: http://cebuexpat.multiply.com/ but I sent you a request. Seems like you also added me on Friendster? Okay I’ll go check.
I’ll be responsive to you, I promise.
If you were in Bogo I could help you setup that site.
Thank you…. I have now your two accounts in multiply…. I have just started organizing my multiply site and I find it better than in friendster… Have you checked your account in VBR? pls check….
Anyway, I was staying in Bogo for 4 yrs.. but there was no Gaisano yet that time and I agree that Bogo is such a nice place especially when you’ve got your own property there and establish any business that suits your knowledge and skills… Where are u in Bogo? We stayed there in Tupas St…. which was a walk away from CRMC where I spent 2 sems and 1 summer in college… I still know lots of friends out there but not seeing them anymore as I am permanently have my base here in the city…The last time that I visited Bogo was end of October… Me and zynah stayed at GO pension house overnight… we have been to that BBQ seaside for our dinner… I hope i can visit there back and go to VBR… My child loves to swim in a pool….
Hi again Vivian,
I did get by VBR an read you PM. Friendster is pretty slow, I tried to go the other day to accept your friend request but I couldn’t get the site to load for me.
Facebook is the better social site right now. Its easy to keep up with what people are doing I think.
I’m pretty close to CRMC, also very close to Saint V. Ferrer Parish. I’m right in the center of town but just far enough way to reduce the amount of noise. Not a good idea to say exactly where I am. I don’t even know the name of the street and I can’t remember the name of the barangay.
Yeah I had hoped to join VBR this month but it seems I am always low on cash. I’m thinking about going north today and visiting some of the cities up that way. Visit some of the churches that way and maybe even take a quick trip over to Bantayan Island. I keep putting it off because of low cash but I just need to go on and do it.
I had a check go missing this month that hasn’t helped matters. That and I have to leave the country for a few days between now and July. Sometimes I think I hate money as it limits so much of what I want to do.
