Welcome to the Hotel Pilipinas

[manofthecoldland]

   Another overcast afternoon to while away with my Pinay. We lay and listen to music. An old Eagles song plays and I'm taken back in time and space to a small town where I met her. It had a 'Hotel California' that I checked out but never checked into while there.... So I thought until this moment.

   I realize now that I had had, an ominous warning then, that I was unaware of at the time and paid no heed to. That place, these lyrics. If the title had been.... 'The Hotel Pilipinas' I might not have spent the next 15 years of my life coming here.

   "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

   "Such a lovely place, such a lovely face."

   "I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven, this could be hell."

   "Some dance to remember, some dance to forget."

   "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device."

Most foresightful of my future life here.  Little did I suspect.  I like my 'prison' and keep coming back.

This is my nomination for a potential PI ex-pat theme song.  Any others you can think of? 

We all have musings about how we came to be here, I would think.
