magical ride
Rain and sniffles is not a good combination – it makes me cranky and restless. I could bite people’s head off when not in a good mood. I love the rain but i hate the sniffles – its giving me parties in my head (aka migraines) that even Alaxan can’t alleviate the throbbing pain. Hmmm. I think that’s the reason why I have the urge to eat chocolates like an expectant mom. Nope. I’m done with the “expecting” part.
Anyhoo, since its the new President’s 1st State of the Nation Address today, I’ll post a national symbol. The kalesa/ caritela is a horse-drawn carriage used as a mode of transportation in some areas here in the Philippines. Here in Cebu its called tartanilla and its still being used in Cebu City’s downtown area, around Colon, the oldest street in the Philippines. (see map below). The tartanilla is driven by a kutsero and its as colorful as the Philippine Jeepney. I’ll try to catch one when its not rainy, meantime here’s a miniature from my archives.
