What's the time?

There were 11 minutes and 55 seconds to go until I finished the 10th episode of the Korean drama, My Royal Nemesis. 

I had to pause it to pee, and when I went back to bed, I noticed the mister rolled facing towards my side. He sleepily looked at me.

"Jay, unsay oras na?" (...what's the time?)

In a flash, he answered, "It's time to close your eyes and sleep." 

Hehehe. 

I didn't realize it was 1:31 a.m. already. 

7/24/2026 To the Park

The mister and I went to the park last Thursday. Thank goodness the weather has been wonderful. It was a short walk before dinner—about 2.2 miles only.

The following day, because the mister comes home early on Fridays, he invited me for a tandem bike ride back to the park again.

By the way, he comes home mid-afternoon but goes back to work (from home) at 7 p.m.

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride. We stopped by at this spot by the creek under the trees for a picnic. I packed ube hopia and coconut water for our snacks.

He thought he brought the word game, Zip-It, that he newly bought from the thrift store last weekend. Sadly, I think he forgot it at our garage.

Good thing each of us also brought books.

Good to Know

Yesterday, while dining in a Vietnamese restaurant at mid-afternoon, I noticed the songs they always play. It is always instrumental piano. 

I learned from the mister that public places such as restaurants cannot play copyrighted music or else they'll be fined. It would be considered a public performance if they played such licensed works. 

What?

I've never heard of this type of license until the mister pointed it out. 

He added that restaurants must acquire public performance licenses for them to play copyrighted music during business hours. 

Good to know.

 I read on the internet today that...  

"Love is a verb 

demonstrated time and time again."
