9July2026 - FB is pretty much on my rear view mirror now, except for "Following" other photographers and artists/craftspersons. I also check my FB Memories most mornings since I've been so bad at organizing and saving my photos. 27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...October2025 - I'm back... (7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

We've been here for two months, but my daily routine of walking in the morning hasn't happened yet. I have enjoyed getting our place set up, and the shopping/ exploring that has entailed. The other day I re-purposed some drawers from a kitchen cabinet were changing to a desk extension and bookshelves for my "study".

I got out this morning for a walk, including down the 16 flights of stairs we used during the no water no power post typhoon week. Btw, there are a Lot of homes on the island still without power, including some family members. We're very lucky.

I meandered around a small area of our neighborhood, turning down this street and that one, passing carinderias (small home cooking stalls, wonderful smells wafting out), businesses of all sorts, a police station, sari sari stores, a lot of dogs, small hotels. Tomorrow, I'm bringing my Canon, and my phone.

 If there is room to go through, through we will go...

and with Zero bumps or scrapes! Good drivers here!









from my FB Memories this morning:

This shot was in my FB "Memories" this morning. So dark. I enjoy editing/playing with my images sometimes...

I started this series of shots thinking about the different ways taxi drivers put sunlight film on their windows, and then I saw this wonder of wiring...

They told me "tempered glass can't cut you". It can if you're nearby when it is explodes, or if the little buggers come out from their hiding places later and sneak into your sandals.
