It's still here, yes.

I'm just bumbling around this week but we do have mini trips planned for the coming months. One will be to Subic.

Right now I'm prepping to go out for a bike ride. It's 430 am here now. If I'm on the way up the street in the next few minutes I can get some pictures of the sunrise.

This is one of those "survival" bike rides, where I pedal like a crazy man in one direction with just my camera,cell phone, passport, P100 and maybe some backup re-charge batteries.

I need the exercise as the inactivity with all the drinking is making a noticable difference on how I feel.

Getting out now almost guarantees a good ride. The school kids have to be at the early session at 530.

Leaving now I miss the bad traffic and keep the cool temperatures.

This is the new St. Lukes hospital in the Bonafacio triangle.

This is what all the excitement is all about in the triangle. This will be the best healthcare, the newest facility in the Philippines. It's a very big complex and with it are coming all the doctors and support personel as well as all the other support required.

This is why everyone and their brother will sink huge pesos into a condo here even when the surrounding area is not all that robust with utilities.

The sign says it all. It's going to be better than 95% of the hospitals in the US.

Yes, it probably will. Your country doesnt border with Mexico and have millions of invaders that you must treat. I'm sure this new St Lukes will be fantastic if you can send bills for all the services rendered.

Condos, condos and more condos.

Condos on the right and condos on the left. Turn the spigot open here in the the Philippines and water doesnt flow out, condos flow out.

They are everywhere. They are high in the sky and also low on the horizon. Some are sold but most are still selling before the building is completed.

Twenty stories, thrity stories ......even forty stories high with condos! Yeah!

We have chocolate condos and vanilla condos. Condos with sprinkles on top and condos with Hershey syrup on them.

Waving, throbbing, bobbing and weaving condos every fucking place that you look....all with an army of people passing out broshures to show you how wonderful and affordable they will be upon completion.

Get your hot peanut condo now. Get it while it's hot.

We have condos with windows and condos with terraces. Condos with nice views and condos with none.

We have condos in the morning and condos in the evening. We have condos with top hats and condos with bow ties.

We have condos that are a great deal and condos that are the deal of a lifetime!

Big frilly condos and small basic condos.

But no one has asked yet, how are all these condo people going to live and breath and get around the city here?

The builders know what they are doing BUT the number of condos and people that will be occupying them will soon be astounding here.

These have not yet been finished. The tilework for the baths and kitchens are still not complete.

More condos, more cars...more condos, more cars. More and more condos.....and more and more cars!

You may think that I'm being silly but the effing number of new or planned condo buildings here is absolutely CRAZY. I cannot get enough photos to show them all to you.

Once on is complete, there are five more being started.

Condos, condos, condos!!! Every effing direction that you look, condos!!

This is a cool artistic metal tree artistic thingy.

It's holding a place on the land until someone designs a condo for this circular shape of lot.
