Amsterdam

Found myself in a bus to Amsterdam. It's a new experience, long distance bus ride, but eventually it's just as any long distance mode of transportation. All I wanted was to get it over with and get to the destination. In a way it was more comfortable than flying, because one has the comfortable feeling of being closer to the ground, better than train because it stopped several times, and of course, compared to driving, one doesn't have to bother about finding one's way and the fatigue of driving itself, and the advantage of being able to sleep whenever one wants to. The downside, of course, is that it took a loooooooong time.

Will be seeing Wil there, and Gau and Tony after a very long time. I last saw Tony in the Philippines, about three years ago, and Gau I think when I left Hong Kong for California, six years ago. We all decided to meet up in Amsterdam this weekend, to see the Madonna "Confessions" tour.

i love this shot also. like the other ones you posted in flickr. am so going to steal this. with your permission of course.

was trying to write that epic saga of a poem for one of your pictures, but my already deflated brain decided it won't cooperate no more.

will post it somewhere for you to scrutinize... very soon i hope...

btw, am still stuck here in korea. the papers that i sent last july to the boyfriend never reached him. i wonder if perhaps the us government found me such a threat, that already they are taking necessary precautions to prevent my entry.

what do you think?

what i think? hmmm... did he enjoy his korea visit enough to want you to go to Texas? and i'm not asking if YOU enjoy, i'm sure you enjoy any such tryst... how would you rate your performance? free chewing gum good or mind-blowing good? if the former, then he probably got the mail and trashed it immediately. if the latter, it could've just been lost and he himself is dying to get his hands on it. as for the gov't, they suspect pretty much everyone, so don't take it personally.
