Just chillin' at home today, watching the construction workers working on the new condos being built just next door to our place.
I find it amazing that these workers seem to work all hours of the day, have thier meals in the building that is not yet complete at great heights and with the only protection being thier helmets and those green nets that I think are more for the people walking below. I keep forgetting that I'm not in a country where things are taken for granted such as...well a harness for one to prevent falls on construction sites.
Across from us is a premium golf course, which I've heard is about $50K AUD to join on a yearly basis. I think to myself, who in their right mind would put up that kind of money to watch a ball go through manicured lawns and go into a hole? I mean seriously, doesn't it sound ridicoulous? Well that's my opinon anyway...
Doing the laundry, tidying up and looking at the pile of paperwork I need to sort and file - which I've been procrastinating hehehehehe
Then I will be going through my cookbook to see what I can do with the chicken fillets I bought. I miss my car, well the independence of it anyhow, just the ability to go and drive somewhere or get what you need at your own time and not have to deal with idiotic taxi drivers - sorry but that is one of my pet hates here in the Philippines. Taxi drivers who ask which way I should go, or not knowing where prominent obvious places - though I know they are absolutely bullsh*tting and I've gotten the knack of telling them to get knacked when they are obviously trying to rip me off! Live like the romans do...well that's what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to re-learn the language, I get tongue-tied sometimes and self-conscious that I'm not saying what I mean to say but I figure it's better to try than not at all. Still a long way to go hehehehe
