Hide-and-seek

I have to confess that I have a thing for bathrooms and powder rooms (which we call the comfort room or CR for short). I dream of the day when we can have all of ours renovated to look like those featured in Good Housekeeping, but until then, I love peeking into those in hotels, restaurants and posh homes, even if I don't need to use them, just to see how they're decorated. This is the powder room at Sofitel Manila's 7Pecados by the Bay. Both the attendant and I hid behind walls while I was taking this photo—a fat lot of good that did us.

  2. I like fancy "comfort rooms" too! Funny photo! You can run but you can't hide!

    Re your comment on The Villages DP: Both "downtowns" in The Villages have music and dancing every night, year round (except for inclement weather)...most of the music is Golden Oldie stuff and country/western.

    If'n your husband won't dance, there are any number of gents hanging around who would gladly lead you out on the dance "floor."

  7. It's true. This shot holds the wonderful surprise of coming upon the two figures attempting to conceal themselves.

  13. Umm I wonder how it came to be called powder room? Well anyway, you did a good job hiding, I do it too!

    Btw, the duck photos were taken months ago along C6 road.
