Looks like I’m about to end my Apple product embargo.

The new nano is just the right size for running and with the built-in clip, why, it’s close to perfection!

D@mn you, Steve Jobs!

It’s back to work for me tomorrow. I have to drive almost 90 MILES EACH WAY every single day. That’s 144 kilometers; 1.5 hours one-way without traffic. This is the bit of good (or bad) news I was talking about here. On the other hand, it used to take me 1hr to drive the 8kms from Pasig to Makati.

And so it goes.

Day 56: Still want to go home? Check!!!

Today I discovered another white hair. That makes it two white hairs…smack dab in the middle….right in front of my head…where I can see it every single day. The sad part is I don’t think it’s a sign of wisdom.

I go 31.5 years in the Philippines without a single white hair but after two months in the US, I get 2. Coincidence? I think not.

DAY 26: Still want to go home? Check.

It’s been a tough 4 weeks for me and Paolo but now things are finally picking up…I hope.

A lot has happened since last I wrote: 1) Paolo and I learned how to paint a room without using painter’s tape…and we’re awesome! We trimmed and painted 3 ceilings and the equivalent of 2 rooms; 2) We moved into the new house; 3) We celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary and first US Independence Day last July 4th; and 4) We passed the DMV driving test! Today!!! Yes, we are now licensed NJ drivers. Now if we only had a car, it would be perfect.

There’s one more bit of news (good or bad, I’m not sure) but I’ll talk about that next time. For now, au revoir.
