Philippines Chairs
My friend

I was just in Manila yesterday at my fiancee's sister's house and saw the table with chairs like the ones you have on your blog so I thought of you and took the photo. So far the Philippines is amazing. Funny, after reading your blog, I notice that I'm having a lot of the same experiences.
If by same experiences Bryon, you mean blackouts and blood loss, I'm going to have to hear these stories. Great photo, by the way. Makes me wish I was there right now, kicking back with a beer. By the way, what does "kamusta kayo" mean?

2008, Not a Moment Too Soon
Ari ventured from icy Finland this year end and we managed to spend a few days reliving our stint as roommates. Those were halcyon times back in Hell A.—he tended bar at the superexclusive W Hotel (where the
mojitos cost sixteen dollars), I staffed at Playboy (which was . . . well, I'm not sure that I can really describe it), and all our friends were artists and musicians (truly the best kind of people to know).
Somehow, the only photos of Ari and I from last weekend are the ones above, shot by parties unknown. Don't remember where we were, exactly, but I know it was fun. I did a get a few other random party shots below as well. Such a curious holiday New Year's—it's not so much a celebration as it is a catharsis, a night when people party with a fever that borders on desperation.
Anyway friends, here's hoping your New Year's was everything you wanted it to be, and many happy returns. Look for more fun posts in 2008 as I whore out every friend I ever had, and profane every sacred memory.
