Off to School!

Monday, June 13. We squeezed in a quick visit to our favorite beach in Dauin, getting there at around 4 pm. Cloudy day, heavy rain over Siquijor, but just before 5 there was a break in the clouds over Negros and the setting sun lit up this rainbow that stretched from Siquijor halfway to Apo Island.

Jordi and Louie both say they miss their cousins. "Take a picture of us, Mama, so our cousins can see us."

"Over here, too!"

Jordi did his Darth again - Vader, this time and in sand - and as quickly as he did it the first time on the boulevard. This was so big I had to stand on a chair to get most of it in the frame.

Wednesday, June 15. Second day of classes at Holy Cross High School, Lolo David and Lola Pening volunteered to do the morning run to school. Lolo looks older, doesn't he? That's only because he's not smiling; he's still pining for that bright yellow Picanto. :-)

Sunday, June 19. 5:30 pm at the boulevard. The waxing moon above and anchored fishing boats below....couldn't ask for anything more... ok, a Sprite Light and 2 slices of Quattro Statione pizza at Why Not. Would you believe they have not had pizza on their menu for about a month now? Something to do with "bad" mozzarella. Maybe it ran off with the Parmesan.

Took this photo because the kids wanted to have a record of that cloud over Siquijor that looks like a goldfish/airplane with a bent wing/bottom of a golf club/a Sith sky-raider.

Kittens abandoned at the boulevard. If Patrick were here, he would've scooped them up gently, carried them carefully, and delivered them quickly to the keepers at the Center for Tropical Studies (Centrop) at SU. He says we should always make their lives count for something.... Oh, over there, they get fed to the snake. Patrick insists that it's better than their being drowned, or run over, or simply starving to death.

This morning, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this man and his official "Tourist Certified Driver" t-shirt. It's a new classification given by the City Tourism Office. Saw an article about them two weeks ago that said they'd gladly carry your bags up to your room or something. I suppose they also know the best places to go for budbud and tsokolate, baye-baye, sylvanas, bulad, tableya, and manga.
