I guess I can’t really classify myself as a true travel blogger (maybe I’m just being hard on myself now), since I wasn’t able to update as much as I wanted to, and in addition, wasn’t able to take as many relevant pictures as I wanted to. I blame this on the sickness.
We got to Manila (or at least got settled) on Jan 19, Saturday. Sunday, there was jetlag — except for me. Monday, we went out with childhood friends of my mom. Tues-Thurs, my parents were sick. Friday, they were getting better. And I was struck down that weekend — Saturday through Monday. I can’t lie, the flu put a damper on our final week there.
But, I have pictures! (below the cut)

I just drove to the bank today. I realized halfway through my trip that my lights were on, and I couldn’t for the life of me remember when I turned them on. It’s not a car that has automatic lights, so perhaps I have incorporated turning on the headlights, much like putting on my seatbelt or finding an appropriate station on the radio into my ‘getting ready to drive’ routine.
Quite odd. But at least I can feel very responsible!

but if you registered as an independent in New York State, you weren’t able to vote on Super Tuesday.

I’m back in NY. Apologies for not posting as much as I should have.
I had the flu. And the Philippine internet just did not like loading my site. Browsing just took too much time that I didn’t want to spend 10USD for 45 min of internet usage. I had other things to do with my time. Like recover from the flu.

I discovered I hate people who call themselves and their work the ‘creme de la creme’. I think if your work is THAT good, then the work should speak for itself.
I met someone in the Philippines who could not stop calling herself and her work the ‘creme de la creme’. It totally turned me off from actually investigating her work for herself. I was impressed enough with her awards and such… but her repetition just turned me off from her and whatever else she’s done.
So, I’m not really impressed anymore. And I found it highly ironic that someone who had been divorced a few times could write a book on how to make one’s marriage/relationship work.
