[natural disasters] deepest thanks to those of you who sent your concerns about me being out in indonesia and the news about the tsunamis. the turbulence moved eastwards, and we are currently situated west of all that action on the island of Java. the pictures on tv and in the paper though, have been horrible. millions of people are missing, and thousands of people have drowned. i can't imagine what the people of sri lanka, india, and thailand are experiencing right now.. :( if any of you have families who are in those regions - i hope all news has been good news.

my dear friend from middle school is meant to have her wedding on the island of Goa off the coast of india this week. i hope she's doing okay...

in any case, if any of you can send relief in any shape or form to these asian countries, i'd highly encourage it. my dad has been trying to send funds today, and i'm sure the UN could sure use all our help. hahaha.

happy holidays again - ta for now :D

['tis the season to be jolly] merry christmas everyone :D

[grrrruh] the talk of my email box, every coffee shop, and espn is the #4 Cal football team. there has been 20+ emails exchanged in my yahoo! box, cnn elevator tvs are displaying the news, and every male was explaning how bowls are selected in the restaurant i just ate at. i could hear "usc", "texas", "cal", "cal", "cal" being iterated all over! either males just really like the sound of their own voice, or women are trying to get something from them...... kekekeke =P

[christmas bug bit you yet? i love being in the city again. walking down Market with the crisp and (super) cold air in your face, bums be a-singin' christmas songs as you pass them by, and shoppers everywhere carrying huge bags filled with yet-to-folded boxes and holiday goodies!


hope everyone who ever reads this is doing well, and that holiday cheer is touching you wherever you may be :)
