Midweek Blues: Boats in Coron Bay

When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.

Midweek Blues: Blue canoe

@ mirandablue

For hundreds of years, a banca (or outrigger canoe) is a means of water transport in and around the Philippine archipelago.  This banca is paddled and primarily used for fishing by local fishermen.  Big motorized bancas are used to haul cargo and bring passengers to and from the islands.

Midweek Blues: Cocktail

@ mirandablue

No, it's not battery acid.  It's a cocktail called BinLaden---I have no idea why.  Lifted from the tropical cocktail Blue Hawaii, it's a mixture of rum, pineapple, blue Curacao and vodka, blended with ice. It was sweet and refreshing but the vodka made me dizzy.*LOL*

Before BinLaden, we had Hitler---it's blended strawberry, ice and vodka. Then Hussein, an ice-blended banana with vodka.  Good thing there was no hangover---cheers!

Midweek Blues: The Last Supper

@ mirandablue

As part of the Holy Week tradition, carriages were paraded around town in the late afternoon of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday (April 21st and 22nd) to commemorate and enact the Passion of Jesus.  This carriage was carrying carved images of Jesus and his apostles depicting The Last Supper.  This was part of the procession of the Roman Catholics on Good Friday at my mother's hometown of Valladolid in Negros Occidental.

Midweek Blues: Window cleaners

@ mirandablue

I was having coffee in the pantry one afternoon when I noticed the window cleaners on the next tower.  It was a little breezy and their platforms were swaying.  I had a tingling sensation at the bottom of my feet!
