Three Years of Hell to Become the Devil: Bit of a Mess Here...

Bit of a Mess Here...

Right... first thing's first. I'm in Manila. Beautiful city, hot and humid, and internet access from the hotel costs me a stupid amount, so I won't be updating until I'm back at my apartment.

Secondly, I apologize for the massive amounts of trackback/comment spam: I simply don't have time to fix MT-Blacklist until I get home. That weekend upgrade to MT 3.0 is looking better and better, though.

Last, but not least: I know I'm not saying a whole lot, but that's merely a sign that the summer is going well, if somewhat busily. With any luck I'll be able to note down some impressions of Hong Kong (shopping), Manila (humidity), and some non-work 2L summer experiences before Friday.

Give a big "Kamusta po Kayo" for me to Manila. Its too bad that you won't likely be able to leave Manila. The bundoks (Mountains) and bukids (farm land) outside of Manila are some of the most beautiful places on this earth.

I loved Manila (several visits during my time in the Navy), though I would vote for winter as the best time to visit; my recollection is that it isn't nearly as humid then. In fact, the best Christmas of my life was spent in Manila. Poolside at the (then; don't know if the property's changed hands since then) Westin Philippine Plaza hotel. 98° F in the shade, drinking cool drinks from the in-pool bar, and admiring lovely Filipinas in skimpy bathing suits. White Christmas? Screw that idea....

So, does it live up to the descriptions in Cryptonomicon? :)
