Happy Birthday to Me

Even those of us who prefer to remain Eponymous have birthdays. I am turning forty in a couple of weeks and the event will not be celebrated, here, at Leah Beach as was somewhat erroneously advertised.

But rather, here, at 'White' Beach. White is a Tagalog word which roughly translates to 'Insanely Lecherous Drunk Old Man in a Toga'.


So if you find yourself in Oriental Mindoro around the end of August, listen out for the hangover. If not, and you still feel moved to get me a little something, buy the next drunk guy you come across a drink he doesn't need.
