i arrived last night, after a very long flight from manila. cathay took me 40,000 feet high. there was a sand storm when i arrived so all looks dull. and i started to work today, jade won't let me rest. anyway tomorrow is rest day, and so is friday that should be enough.

i survived first day. and tonight arianne took us to casa mexicana for dinner because they're leaving tomorrow, she and her boyfriend John. it was ok although it was noisy. the food is great, and i met susan and judy, who are inviting again for dinner tomorrow.
