today is papa day, plus other boring stuff

today is the international father's day. have you ever wondered how this day ever came to existence? it was a story about a daughter who loved her father so much, a civil war veteran, wanted to honor her father but at the same time also honor all other fathers. her idea was mostly laughed at and ridiculed. her critiques even suggested that they wanted a fishing day instead. but her persistence paid off and in 1972, president nixon made it to a law that every third sunday of june was to be celebrated as father's day.

today is my very own study day. we have to do our ret dems tomorrow so i had to review my skills for physical exam. reviewing is relatively easy, it's retaining them in my head that's hard. ever since i suffered that blow to my head when i was a kid, my memory has been a little bit joggy. i stayed in the club house for about three hours. good thing it's not hot and i was able to sit down in one of the comfy lounges. the internet there was fast, i hit around 200++kbps download speed while downloading the final 4 episodes of season 5 of house md.

my last activity for the day was to go to mercury drug in market market to buy a few medical supplies. good thing they have what i needed so my journey there wasn't a real waste. i also had the chance to listen to paolo santos as he on tour for his 'back to basics' album. he still has that kick he had during his prime in the music industry. i took a video of his version of photograph which i embedded here.

my journey home was the usual. i walked home. i took a different route, somehow closer to the dark edge of the fort rather than the lighted side walks. it was literally pitch black. i could hardly see anything and the only reasons i saw anything was because of the passing vehicles. the trip was memorable while it lasted.
