Well, Undas is over (All Saint's day/day of the dead when we visit our relatives graves every year).
The city has put up their Christmas lights etc and last night had the official lighting ceremony, complete with fireworks (and all the dogs hiding under my bed in fear).
This is, after all, the Philippines and partying is important: it is not the party per se, but because celebrations enhance community and family ties, and we are a family oriented culture.
No, I didn't go...too crowded for me, and we can watch the fireworks from our second floor.
This morning, Joy is flying to her home province for her 50th grade school reunion. She tore a ligament in her knee but it seems to be healing, but I told her to wear the brace and not walk too much: she should request a wheel chair if needed (but she won't ask for it)...Hopefully she will fly home before the next typhoon/tropical storm hits. Right now we are signal one but it is due to hit tomorrow... but the sun is shining.
Kuya is busy drying the rice we harvested last week (it is partly dry, but needs to be drier for long term storage). As for me, I am as well as ever but not up to jogging yet
