Today

Pretty good day...

It got cold all of a sudden. Usually, by this time of year, it is already starting to get a little cool, but last Monday and Tuesday, i had to go home and change into summer clothes (Yup! Global weather changes are now starting to get really alarming). But as expected, the cold that is just lurking around the corner, and could show up any time, and it did some three days ago. So i had to do some shopping!

Bought a few things for the cold. I like to shop when it's time to shop, but nothing more. I like keeping things simple-although there are some exceptions ofcourse, like that shoe you saw on the store window on your way home, and that really nice jacket...you get the idea. So i went into the stores, got what i needed, and left.

As usual, Las Ramblas was packed. There were more mimes than usual, aside from the regular birds (chickens and exotic japanese birds), turtles, fish, hamsters, rabbits, iguanaa on sale. There were the usual flower stalls Las Ramblas are famous for. Then there's the people from all over, and walkign all over too. You'll have to kind of weave through them to get where youre going.

On my way to meeting a friend, i listened to a didgeridoo band, spanish style. Pretty cool.

Met up a a friend, went to have lunch at a truly authentic hole-in-the-wall Pinoy resto at what i call Barcelona's "little Manila". Had Sinigang na Hipon, and Adobo. Yup, in Barcelona.

Saw a pretty interesting tea salon with a board up front: "Menu 10.50e + 30 minutes siesta".

Now home, looking at a pile of books im supposed to be reading. Guess i gotta go and get started!
