Vacation

Hah! Good news just happened and now my mind is on vacation. I have had a somewhat trying week. Not really big. It could've been if I let myself be drawn to it, but I was really too involved with ME to care. I was still feeling the after effects of my vacation in Bulalakaw.

Now I'm looking forward to New Year. Via and I are planning to spend it lying on the sand in Pandan Island. This is the first time I won't be with my family on New Year, so I don't know if I'l be bawling my eyes when the clock strikes 12MN. Hopefully not. We're planning the trip to avoid all the hoopla that happens around that time. I'm lucky that I've finaly found friends who I can truly relax with. No expectations and no complications. Nothing heavy. Perfect for the beach.

On a very different note, I watched the US Democratic Party's Debate on CNN yesterday. It's still a year before the US elections but I can already tell this is going to be big. All of the participants were articulate. I just didn't like the idea of Hilary being slammed for not being confrontational. I think there was an underlying message there telling people "Because she's a woman, that's why." I resent that. Although she did stumble some on last week's issues when she was in Iowa I think. But I think she did well in the Las Vegas debate. She was calm and more prepared to answer the things that were thrown at her. It really seemed deliberate that she was placed in the middle of six men. Man! Was she slammed! It started with Obama saying she doesen't take clear stands on important issues and could not make fast resolutions and went from there. Must've been hard. But I really like the asbestos comment.

I do like Obama's defence on Iran resolution though. Or on WAR in particular, he said he will also meet with the enemies. Hmmm... We'll see shall we. Looking at the Republican list, I think it's the democrat's time.

And can I just say that John Edwards really reminds me of John Ritter. I dunno why.
