Hello, Again, Holiday Drinks

The nights are getting longer and air feels cooler. As soon as the "ber" months start malls and other establishments in the Philippines already play Christmas songs. I usually dread the Christmas traffic but I look forward to all the sales.

World Animal Day

On the way to work today I heard over the radio that it was World Animal Day. I immediately thought of Animal from The Muppets because I am weird that way.

A few minutes after hearing the news bit I something terrible happened. Traffic wasn't moving that fast which was probably why I saw what I did. The vehicle in front of me, which was an SUV, probably didn't notice it but there was a kitten on the road. I only saw it when it came out from under the vehicle in front of me, jumping around in panic...or in pain. I couldn't just suddenly stop because there was a line of vehicles behind me and might cause an accident. I slowed down, maneuvered the car carefully, and hoped to God that I didn't run over the kitten. I know kittens or cats get run over fairly often everyday because of their lack of road-crossing skills, but that doesn't reduce the sadness I feel whenever I see the roadkill.

Western Oz Adventures: Swan Valley

One of the highlights of my trip to Perth was going to Swan Valley. Jex was able to visit it during one of his work trips with some of his office mates and brought home a lot of nice goodies. He wanted to take me there but a prerequisite of going around Swan Valley is a car (or some sort of transportation to bring you around). After summoning my Google-fu I found several Swan Valley tours that we could take but eventually chose the Speed Grazing tour with Taste Bud Tours.
