Went with the family to Tagaytay. We originally planned to stay until Saturday morning, but decided to leave today because Papa had a sudden business meeting.
It was disappointingly warm up there... just a teeny wit better than Manila. :( And the TV didn't work. Stil, there was the fresh air. And the scenery! Gorgeous.
Read quite a bit while up in the Cleanest City in the country... Stephen King's SALEM'S LOT, CARUSO AND THE ART OF SINGING, reread AND THEN THERE WERE NONE (probably THE best mystery novel EVER written) by Dame Agatha Christie, and Spzilman's memoirs, THE PIANIST.
It's a shame my discman's out of order... I've dug up my old HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC cd's (a dozen of them! woohoo!) and I was hoping to listen to gorgeous music without being pressured to memorize up to 90 tracks, and their respective composers.
Am looking forward to next weekend... I'll probably be in Baguio then (crosses fingers). Cold weather = smaller pores = less oil = a more beautiful moi! haha am so mababaw...
Didn't eat meat today... for a die-hard meat lover, 'twas no small feat. Will set aside more time than usual for my daily talk with Our Savior.
Books. Music. Theatre. Teaching and learning. Doing one's part to help create a better Philippines.
