Used to be the point of having a closed account was like, “Where do I post my mean thoughts,” and the actual answer is you don’t have to do that when you can just go talk to people who care about you and will work that stuff out with you.
Inabutan ng ulan. Stuck muna sa Manila for one more day.
One is along EDSA near P. Tuazon under a "bawal umihi" (do not urinate) sign. The other is a larger mural in Kapitolyo near the Lawton Bridge (my bike Bhramari shown for size comparison).
Same artist, sane character, seven kilometers apart. These are two wall graffiti I saw while cycling from Cubao to Pembo on Saturday.

Both are grumpy cartoon dogs with a raised leg to pee.
Nakailang bucket tapos natanong namin kung baket parang ang aga namin natapos sa Jeongwon (kasi maaga kami nagsimula).

Yung complete group photos from last night, thanks to @chichar-eon.bsky.social
Not the complete group photo from last night, just the non-smokers.
When I arrived at the apartment building, I had a sense of deja vu. I've been there before and wondered if the guy I'm hooking up with today lives on the same unit.

He doesn't. 😅
Same. I started needing glasses just last year.
Nakakainggit yung mga near-sighted, they don't have to wear their eyeglasses kung babasahin ang phone 👓
A Friday afternoon break after I dropped my clothes at the laundry shop: Zesty Bloom spritz (decorated with a dried sliced lemon and watermelon gummy candies on a stick) from Mozaic while I pretend to work on a website draft.
So lately, I've been hanging out three days a week in this art space in case anyone wants to have tarot readings.

I think it's time I start expanding my wardrobe again. Pambahay chic is getting old.
The very few left are in worse state of disrepair. Dollhouse still stands, one of the last from its era.

Walking Street is still a colorful entertainment district but it's become less distinct because of the lessened tourism and changes in clientele.
About a decade later, I moved to Clark for work. And I decided to go back to Walking Street for some nostalgia trip.

It's heartbreaking to see what's no longer there. Many of the large ornamentations, many of the eye-catching signage—they're gone.
One of the buildings is Dollhouse, inspired by the iconic android in the silent movie, Metropolis. At that time, the US military had already left Clark for about two decades and Walking Street was past its heyday.
This is the facade of the Dollhouse Bar.

Maybe a decade ago, when I first entered Walking Street in Angeles, I was wowed by the styling and decorations of many of the buildings in the entertainment district. It was gaudy and tacky and ostentatious, as what an entertainment district should be.
Huge-ass land snails always make me stop and look at them with fascination. An invasive species, they were introduced to Southeast Asia in the early 1900s and can be found in many grassy areas of Metro Manila and other Philippine cities.
The overly chunky designs aren't really functional, either, except maybe for height boost
Crocs aren't known to be aesthetically beautiful but why are the currently available designs uglier?
Maraming salamat! ❤️

Last night: dinner at Walking Street in Angeles City before going home to Cubao.

I am upset that every search I make on google it spews out AI shit already, In. Every. Question. I want to see different answers, not on generalized answer that may or may not be wrong unless you do the whole searching deeper thing again either way.

Earlier: breakfast with @maasgad.bsky.social before heading back for Day Two of the mystic fair he organized.

If you're in Angeles City, drop by Clark Cityfront Mall and say hi!
