People love to eat. Nothing wrong with that. Except when it’s excessive. Excess here having a two-fold meaning: eating more than what is necessary and leaving food to go to waste. You see it around you: People pigging out on all-you-can-eat buffets. People eating all-you-can eat pizza, and worse, leaving the outer edge of the crust. People drinking buckets and buckets of beer. It may not exactly be gluttony, but it’s uncomfortably close. Personally, I think less is much better than in excess.
I was supposed to go to 4-day vacation trip to Vietnam courtesy of the company but I backed out. I’m not really a travel kind of person. Or rather, I’m more of a journey rather than a destination kind of person. And airports and airliners are not my definition of a fun journey. Besides, Jeanne didn’t have a passport so I couldn’t take her with me. But I initially decided to go because Michelle said she wanted to go. I asked her what about Jeanne’s situation and she said Jeanne can stay with the grandparents and “can get over” being left. But today, Michelle backed out, probably after thinking hard about the whole leaving Jeanne thing. And since there’s really no good reason for me to go, I too decided to back out. No loss.
I’ve said that putting the gorgeous iPhone 4 inside a case generally fuglifies it. But such is not the case with the Sena UltraSlim Leather Pouch. It is a slip-in pouch made of luxurious textured soft leather. The inside is lined with soft velvety material to protect your phone from scratches. The bottom has unobtrusive holes for the speakers so that you can still hear your phone. Definitely well-thought-out. And the best thing about it is that it fits like a good high-quality leather glove. The fit is so perfect that it add negligible bulk to the phone. It is is a perfect match to the understated elegance of the iPhone.

Just got email from Leslie saying my TiC front shifter stay bushings have been delivered complete with toy soldiers! Here’s the pic he took:
Minette, Glenn, Michelle, Jeanne, and I watched the last evening of the PyroMusical competition featuring Australia and the Philippines. The traffic and crowd was huge! I ended up parking at the highest level of the parking building. Despite that, everyone, including Jeanne (after she got over her initial fear of the noise of the fireworks and the music) had a blast. The finale of each country were especially awesome displays of light. Videos don’t do them justice. After the show, I was also expecting traffic congestion on the way out and indeed we had to wait for almost an hour before we could exit the parking building.
