Manila...

So after landing in Manila, I realized I forgot to update my blog and the voicemail greeting on my cell phone... *update* I'll be in Manila and Singapore for the rest of the month...leave a message and I'll talk to you when I get back */update*

Yes, you heard correct. I'm in Manila and on my way to Singapore early tomorrow morning for a few days before my cousin's wedding.

Pictures to come after Singapore... on my way to get a massage. Woohoo! I *heart* Asia!

I complain a good amount about my commute to work every morning. It's a really short distance (~15 miles according to Mapquest) and should theoretically be a fast drive over (~16 minutes according to Mapquest again).

Instead... it takes usually about 35-45 minutes to get to work from home each morning. That's on a good day too! If there's an accident, it's an hour easily! So today, I woke up fairly early, watched the news to see if there were any accidents, and even waited a bit for traffic to die down. I left around 9:20am... stop...go...stop...go. I think the fastest speed I ever went was 35 mph. So, in my boredom, I did my makeup, sang a few songs, and took pictures. (excuse the dirty winshield!)

I think I'm better off working from home in the moring for a few hours and then heading into work... unless someone else has a better suggestion on how to get to Mtn View (near 101) from San Mateo (near 101)??

It's been forever since I've written in my blog. It feels like it's been forever since I've even hung out in my own house. In the last week, I've started taking a Mandarin class at CSM, been to a Sales Conference, a company Tahoe trip, seen the Broadway show Lion King, celebrated my uncle's birthday, and have gone to a Superbowl party. In that last week, I've been home for two days and now I'm home somewhat sick. Actually, I woke up this morning coughing up a storm and without a voice.

So, instead of writing about this crazy week, here's a few pictures...
