Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
We’ll meet again…

They came, they saw, they left. Half an hour, with a thousand unanswered questions left over. I hate short tours. I hope next year there’ll be more time. 😦
The 2008 Valor Tours group, whose ETA was 2:00-2:30 p.m., arrived at the University at ten minutes to three. By the time we got everyone up the grand stairs to the Museum Gallery, it was 3:10. They had to leave at 3:30 to make it to Bilibid Prison (used during WWII as a military POW camp), and then straight to the airport.
I’ve never had to talk faster.

The past couple of days have been hectic (wait, when are they not?) — I’ve been struggling with the flu, and all week I’ve been waiting for approval to open the Santo Tomas Museum for a Saturday viewing for a very special group of guests.
You know you’re a geek when…
