Day 1 into the new year

I am happy to report that for the first new day of the year, my lunch consisted of healthy fare — two hefty servings of salad greens. They of course went with my tapa, mashed potatoes, and leftover ham, but I think the salad servings were more than enough to cancel out the effects of the fatty food. Yes, that is just how my brain works. Right now I'm waiting for my mom before we head out for church and possibly some serious facial sessions. This is what I love about Manila — the inexpensive facial treatments, manicures, pedicures, haircuts, clothes, food and entertainment. And of course I'm in the company of people I love. Every time I come back, I seem to want to stay. But then I ask myself if I want to be part of the notorious Manila traffic again. And I think we all know the answer to that.
