I considered posting about my whereabouts and activities, but I don't want this place to be too much of a repository of places to eat and places to get smashed. Suffice it to say that the year began right by crashing at home at 9am. Woke up in pretty good shape in the afternoon, but I also wonder if I should be thinking of a personal age-limit of this type of behavior.

The rains came to Manila this New Year, just as it did this Christmas, and the weather bureau reports that warm air prevented the fireworks smoke from dispersing and gave many of our streets a fog-like effect post-midnight today. So driving around was slightly more dangerous, but roads had a rare quiet eeriness.

Work starts on January 5 for most offices and I'm slightly dreading the absolute crunch of everything this Monday morning. Backed-up office e-mails, traffic, crowded gyms, and people still coming out of vacation mode. My advice to myself and to anybody out there: give yourself some breathing room and start early.

Many things on my mind today, but nothing further appropriate for the blog. I hope to get good entries in the coming days. Happy New Year Everybody.
