We haven't really gone out much in the past several days. Our typical schedule is:
7:00: Breakfast (usually consisting of eggs, fried rice, ham/ longganisa/ tocino and the freshest tomatoes on earth... heavenly!!)
7:30 -- 11:00: Reading Time ... we sometimes go back to bed for another hour of peaceful Zzzzz's. Ang sarap talaga matulog at kumain dito! There's something about the air.
11:30 -- 1:00 Lunch Time: Sometimes we step out of the house and go to one of the famous "only-in-Baguio" diners like the Star Cafe or the Luisa Cafe in Session Road (their lechon rice bowl is DIVINE!)
1:00 -- 5:00 : Reading Time Part 2
5:00 -- 7:00: We go out for a "joy ride" of sorts... usually we end up having coffee or a late merienda
7:30 Dinner
8:00 -- 10:00: Taking-a-bath-time/ Watching-a-VCD-on-Tata's-laptop-time
(So far we've watched: THE FOUNTAIN, TRANSFORMERS, the old version of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE starring Laurence Olivier himself as Darcy, THE HISTORY BOYS, and the definitive movie of our childhood: CONAN THE DESTROYER!!! Yeah! I've got the soundtrack memorized, haha)
10:00: Lights off (but I usually stay up late reading with the aid of my flashlight, hidden under the covers)

Last night, though, I hardly got any sleep. It was around 11:30 p.m., and I was in the middle of a rather confusing Johannine passage when the neighbors living in the cottage upstairs got their party started by turning on their radio at a REALLY loud volume! It was soooooo inconsiderate of them.
They played Sitti, the Beatles, Karen Carpenter, and even Fall Out Boy until it was around 1:30 a.m. (I know because I couldn't sleep until they turned off the darn thing)
Some people talaga..... Grrrrrrrr.....
*rubs eyes bleakly*

I just finished this fascinating book on the Shakers. They have quite an interesting theology! They believe in the Father/Mother God as having both a feminine and masculine spirit , and in the Christ-Spirit that was present in Jesus as well as their founder, Ann Lee, and other historical figures such as Buddha.
Shakers (different from the Quakers and the Amish, mind you) share everything with the community, have no private property, take vows of celibacy and live apart from the world though they do not shun technology like the Quakers do.
More on that next time... I am summoned.
"..the neighbors living in the cottage upstairs got their party started by turning on their radio at a REALLY loud volume! It was soooooo inconsiderate of them." - ohh..that's part of our world that you need to take. buti nga temporary lang eh (on vacation parin right?), pero dito, at the back of our house (which is a different village na) every now and then may nagvvideoke until they puke out of thier beers. watta night!
ReplyDeletewere the shakers the ones who died off because they didn't procreate? or was that the quakers? i dont remember
ReplyDeletehaha kami din, if its not drunk karaoke-ers, its 2 horny cats...or 3...thats the worst. oh well, mas kawawa the people outside my bathroom, they hear shrieks and pathetic attempts to hit high notes:)

ReplyDeleteOoops I forgot to add in my entry that the Shakers only add to their members through conversion... not surprisingly, I understand that there are only four of them still remaining today
ReplyDelete:(
I suppose that's true for all those unfortunate enough to live with/ next door to a voice major :) haha!! *Mahal kasi gumawa ng sound-proof room...*
ReplyDeleteCan't you complain to the guards or the association of the other village? Hehe. Noise pollution is a serious matter!! It's so serious, there's even a poster announcing so, in the CAL new building diba? ;)
