Of Trams…Queasy Stomachs…and Man Drought

They say that time flies when you are having fun…I probably am. A few weeks ago, I was feeling restless and a bit frantic about my upcoming trip to Melbourne and now here I am, all settled and comfortable in my spiffy and very nice apartment in Docklands. I could not believe up to now that it has been a week already. By golly! So what have I been up to? Well for one thing, I’m getting the hang of walking again. The weather here’s actually quite nice to walk in. I used to take the tram from Collins Street to Elizabeth, but then, lately, trams going that route usually take a while to come by so I just walk a couple of more blocks to get to the office. Hmm…besides, I’d rather walk and see much more than waste time waiting for the tram. But that’s not to say that there isn’t anything interesting to see as I wait.

One time I took the wrong tram, which brought me to Port Melbourne. Silly me! Hehehe…Just because I saw the words Via City made me think that it would actually bring me to the city, where I needed to go. The price I had to pay? A 40-minute tram ride, which took me to other portions of Melbourne. It was actually fun. You see I have this mantra that it’s not so much about getting lost but the adventure of the unknown that makes life so exciting…Which brings me to tell you that my queasy stomach’s been making my life really exciting here. Hahaha! Oh well…

Well, I am off to the city today for church service. Then I’ll just walk around and take a few shots of the city and wherever my feet would take me. Planning to go to St. Kilda, which according to a study is a hotspot for women who are in the lookout for men. Hahaha! Apparently Australia is experiencing a man drought and women born in 1972 are the most affected. According to the study, there were 25,000 more women than men born in that same year…Well, I’ll see how that goes and if it does work…Good thing I wasn’t born in 1972! Hehehe…

Until then, cheers! (haha...ang labo!!!)
