Bed. Just woke up. But I need to get ready for 12 pm mass
No need. The lady is made of copper and copper rust is green.
We were there this same time last year. The tactic for NYC is similar for Manila: You look around outdoors. Then you scoot inside a store to cool off. Then you go out again.
Ellis Island wasn't too bad. It was breezy and didn't feel muggy although some shade is good too:

City of Pines for the next 5 days. Free hotel, free meal, and a few bucks. God is great!!!
The lunch time food trailers are awesome. The kids stuck to hot dogs. But, the wife and I preferred the ethnic foods. They're also relatively cheap, around $5-$10 per order.
We were frequent visitors to the Philippine Consulate in NYC while we lived in the state....about a six-hour drive from home.

That's good. Exactly this same time last year, it was like this. I felt they could do better especially since they represent the country abroad.
Compare that to the PH Embassy in Ankara, Turkey. When we arrived, the PH Embassy was still closed. Yet, they opened their doors to us and brought us to their kitchen where they prepared breakfast for us.Got a good dose of PH hospitality.

Have not checked out any Philippines Embassy or Consulate abroad.... But IMO, that is pathetic....
Baka ayaw nila ng tambay, kaya hindi nilagyan ng silya.... Pero, kung talagang tatambay,- hindi mo mapipigilan at sasalampak na nga lang sa sahig...
Food truck or trailers,- FTW!
Bawat dagdag ng condiment sa hotdog (ketchup, onions, mustard),- $1 additional! WTF!
Dakota Apartment/Strawberry Fields sa West Central Park, Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Shadow,- St. Patrick's Cathedral,- diyan lumakad ng nakaluhod si Imeldific mula pinto hanggang altar at manghang-mangha ang mga merkano... Never failed to visit this cathedral everytime we are in the area.
Diyan ko rin nalaman kung saan maaaring kinuha ng DLSU ang mga ginamit nilang pangalan ng buildings sa Taft or Irish traditional saints - or coincidental (mga pangalan ng santo na may kanya-kanyang lugar sa side hallways ng simbahan).....
BTT: Opis na at simula na ng kayod. In between,- may tsikot....

Office had a conference call (1-1) with the boss and I was very excited waiting for him to announce the bonus - nada!
Inside a bank here near Burnham. Ang hirap mag transact pag wala kilala sa branch. Ang haba ng pila 😈
