To those who SMS'ed, emailed and even phoned birthday greetings from Manila, Singapore, even India (you know who you are): Much thanks! The past week was a horrendously busy time at work (and continues to be) with hardly any sleep but realised later on, a true blessing because it kept my mind off my parents' absence. Funny how I don't usually expect to be greeted for my birthday but when somebody does it's always a pleasant surprise (Ok, I do make-tampo with some (not all) who don't...I'll stop pretending na...haha). But out here, when you're all by your lonesome self :), it matters even more. So to those precious thoughtful people, a big hug and mwah!
Just a few other things before I go:
Katkat - lovely letter...I mean novel. That is probably the longest letter, to date, that I have received in my life. In Patty's Book of World Records, you're title holder for longest-letter. I will write you back before the sun sets a week from now. Still collecting my thoughts. This early I warn you that I will not be able to respond with equal bravado.
Carl - thanks for the SMS and email (?)...not sure I got this though. Can you re-send so I can respond?
Up next: Kanchanaburi Part II and other highlights of my parents' trip here. My cousin Michelle, will be arriving from Koh Samui tomorrow. To my knowledge, she has been there for the past several weeks updating her superior yoga skills! :) I'm excited.
Take care everyone. Got to get back to work!

Thanks, Trang! Glad you consider me part of your gang even if I keep inventing Vietnamese words (and you keep inventing Filipino words...isn't it fun?!).

Merci! Arigato gozaimashita! Great to hear from you Kana. How are you and Jan doing?! I'll check your blog...lost the link...thanks for emailing it (before I even asked). Guess what?!
