Fats, Vitamins and Minerals

We finally managed to go swimming yesterday! Edward did complain that we aught to get up early, and that day we woke up 7:30 in the morning because there were these people chopping down branches of trees right outside our apartment window.

There weren’t too many people in the pool but the water wasn’t very clear. They also had this machine running to filter the water. It was rather ‘chemically’ so it probably isn’t advisable to go swimming everyday.

Odd, however, while swimming, I looked up to the sky and saw two lovely airplane tracks across the sky. Then suddenly I saw what looked like a white kite billeting across. My partner saw it too and he thought it looked like a large piece of paper or a bag flying across, not quite a kite because it was moving very fast over very long distance. It was a strange lovely triangular or diamond-like shape, certainly not flat as it had gray shadows near the corners. It reached a cloud, we could see it rush across under the clouds and suddenly it just disappeared.

I was hoping it would fly out of the cloud but it didn’t. It was just suddenly gone. Maybe it went into the cloud? My partner said it could have been a small plane or a weather balloon, or even an alien space ship!

Actually, when one sees such things, it is quite understandable how stories of “sightings”come about. It could indeed even be a spy plane (it certainly almost had the shape of a stealth plane), something that shouldn’t be there in Philippine skies.

But it was a beautiful sight. These things always are. Like those jets ripping across the sky in southern Taiwan. Like those birds rushing for shelter at dusk. Like those black spots circling against the blue skies in my dreams.

Finished Prince Edward crocheted bag no. 002, now logged in Edward’s CnC of course with the pattern instructions. I was too excited to put it on-line even though I haven’t done the lining. I hope to do that this week.

Another earlier “sighting” is this (photo below) - a cat in our apartment! That evening my partner saw it go inside the living room (perhaps to check out the trash bin!). Then one morning it was there at the laundry-drying area of the apartment looking towards the corner.

Then the other day, as I walked into the laundry area, I heard a scuffle and saw this gigantic rat, you know, those Norwegian rats the size of a cat. I saw it run down the same corner where the cat was staring. My partner asked if I was sure it was a rat and not a cat and I said yes, of course, those rats the size of cats are not so unfamiliar in the city.

So maybe that’s why the cat was there earlier. Hmmm… I certainly prefer cat to rat!

We do have a small mousey here in the kitchen, living/hiding under the elctric stove. I don’t mind mousey at all.
