Delilah after Dark

So many of you know the cheesy radio show called "Delilah"... people tell this random woman a sappy story and she chooses some song that is supposed to be reflective of their story - which generally has nothing to do with anything. Well, Melissa and I laugh because as we are driven around or anywhere that pipes in music it is always sappy cheesy soft rock/adult contemporary music from the 70s/80s and 90s. It's hilarious. It's a guarantee that you will hear Roberta Flack's "Killing me Softly" when out in public, though not always by her! hehehehe In fact, one of the radio stations here is 90.7 Love Radio. They love their American soft pop. hehehe

Today is a horrible smog day. It's only 10am and it is a yellowish-grey color out. You can't see buildings that are too far away. With the living conditions and health conditions as I have seen.. plus the amount of food and fried food they eat, it lead me to wonder about life expectancy and things like that about the people of this country. So, I googled it. (I love google) Shockingly, it is 71 years old!! Would not have thought that at all! The UNICEF site indicates this country at a 93 for adult literacy!

It's hard to believe that I am half way through this trip. It is going by fast. Melissa and I leave in the morning (umm, Saturday morning here) for Boracay. We are on Asian Spirit leaving at 9 something in the morning and will leave there at 5pm on Monday to come back. So, lots of beach time!!! I am currently charging iPod and camera batteries. I do plan on spend my nights with the sunset, taste the salty air on my lips, and squish the sand between my toes... :) Maybe even find my hemisphere dancer boat. :) My idea of paradise. I think I will see if I can find a little jar or plastic bottle to bring home some sand.

I am going to call down to the spa in the hotel and see if I can get a pedicure before the trip then on to statistics final. Glenn.. where are you when I need you!

Smooth Sailing!
