I'm planning on buying some insurance. Someone came to me with a similar proposition 3 years ago, and I thought, um, I don't think I need it. Now, same person asks me -- do you want to buy insurance? And now, I think it might actually be a good idea. Back then it seemed like paying for security I didn't need. A good way to totally cramp very important cash flow. Today, with the marginal benefit of additional cash flow just a little smaller (the after effects of a higher salary), plus the realization that forced saving is a service worth paying capital costs for. . . suddenly it makes sense.
Please let not this decision age me. Buying insurance surely is not too far away from buying athritic medicine.

I went to a Nikki (sp?) Luna exhibit yesterday evening along with Grace. She had hanging resin artwork that looked like hardened bed sheets. I thought it was fine. I enjoyed more Gutsy Tuason's photos of mountains, rivers and ice though.
Happily bumped into Tanya who I had not been in touch with since the Cubao-X gimmick disaster. Would like to touch base with her again, especially as a friend is leaving for Berlin and I need new friends again. . .
which brings me to Bob's party the night before. Crowded and good night at 70-D. Did not get sloshed as much as before. Nice to see the usual crew. Vinny cried and I had to drive his car back to Makati with David in tow. Good to spend time talking to David, since we don't always get the chance. We've been friends for a while now.

Earlier in the Friday I was checking some e-mails I had received from 2004. Hilarious to read back on some grad school and mountaineering messages. Realized that it was time to form some kind of B2K4 facebook group, and also that all those econ readings I didn't have time for back then -- I can read them now. They don't date fast, which is good.

Have not been back to QC for several weeks, which isn't a terribly bad thing I guess. I'll have to figure out someone who is going to air out this tent though.
