Dead Fish and Other Stories

Wanting a short respite from the squalor and desperation that is my life, I went with Jasper yesterday morning to Manila Bay to watch him take photos of the place yet again. We were hoping to spot the rowing team just as we did before, but unfortunately, they weren't present. We did find, however, other interesting things, such as the exercise group led by a sexy soldier-looking man person. More photos behind the image below, and even more at Jasper's Multiply site:


The Star City tower in the distance.


The very first thing we noticed upon arriving was the rancid, salty smell. We didn't have to walk long to find out where it was coming from. Looking out into the bay, there were multitudes of dead fish floating on the surface, no doubt caused by the thick pollution seeping in the depths.



More of the dead fish. There were actually some birds gliding over the surface. I was shouting, "Don't eat the poisoned fisssshhhhhh!!!" but they wouldn't listen.



The line of boats by the bay.



More boats. Yes, that grey thing at the background isn't because of my camera. That's smog.



Let's go to Corregidor!



The exercise group. Most of the people who were there were lolos and lolas. Too bad I wasn't able to take a photo of the soldier man's booty.



Zoom!



And finally, Jasper, ladies and gentlemen.
