It has been quite a while since I’ve been a passenger princess so it’s a welcome change, even for a short time. We hired my mom’s driver for her appointment with the pulmonologist at Manila Doctor’s today. I’m just too exhausted to drive and facilitate her check ups so better outsource the driving part and just worry about the doctor part. I have to sit through and take down notes because I do not fully believe my mom will remember all what the doctor will say.
I’m still not well. I still have the sniffles and my body aches because I have my period. Double whammy. But I have no choice, I need to bring my mom to the doctor. Her needs above my own.
Meanwhile, why didn’t I know that Danny O’Donoghue is in the streets of Manila (actually in QC, maybe just around in Cubao area) shooting a video for The Man Who Can’t be Moved?!
@thescripttok It’s incredible seeing how many of you are making videos to The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. Massive thanks for all the love you keep showing this song ❤️ #Tmwcbm
I knew they were returning for a concert but I couldn’t remember when exactly. I wasn’t able to think straight and was on the fence about watching them because I didn’t have the bandwidth to schedule well and not entirely sure if I would be too tired to queue and watch them.
It’s… *sigh* ageing is just. 🫠
Oh damn. No diving this week. The National Museum of Art – Binondo – Escolta trip with my kids will be iffy as well. Rains and flood is on the calendar during my week-long PTO.
PAGASA has officially called this the start of the southwest monsoon (habagat) and this rainy week is already the signal that the dry season/ “summer” will soon be over.
Since tomorrow is a no-go for us, I might as well do my blood chem (in prep for my check ups with my doctors) and 10k km PMS with Toyota. Hopefully, Wed and Thurs will be more favorable.
I really want to do a food and shop crawl of Escolta, the oldest shopping district in the Philippines. It’s part of the Binondo/Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in the world (because the Spanish drove out the Chinese outside of Intramuros/city early on). Manila is gentrifying Escolta again.
I want to try the gentrified Jones Bridge esplanade. Praying for less rain on Wed or Thursday. 🙏 I want to be a tourist in my own country.
