belated

I know it's a few days late, but Happy Christmukkawanzaa to all!

The sorry state of internet connections in this country is partially to blame, as is my extended family's pre-occipation with shoving plates of deliciousness in front of me. With so much food to be consumed, there is little, if any time to spend with frivolous things like checking e-mail and posting on the blog. I mean, how to you turn down barbecued chicken, seared fish steaks, and grilled squid served on banana leaves and dipped in freshly squeezed calamansi juice?

If I didn't have such an abnormally speedy metabolism, I would have to get my cousins to roll me aboard the airplane.
