This is how springwater is bottled.  Mwehehehe.  Photo courtesy of Le Bernini, taken I think, at the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore.

Happy thoughts: real mail, email. 

I got a package earlier this week from the US.  It was from my old prof, Sir Eli Africa!  He sent a copy of his award-winning documentary, "Selling Songs of Leyte."  Of course I was thrilled.  Receiving packages (even university brochures from other countries) is a little joy of mine, and getting a copy of Sir Eli's docu is one nice happy thought in itself.  I immediately watched it with my mum, and I appreciated it.  It was a nice way of capturing a snippet of our culture.  Though I would have liked to have more information about the origins of such traditions.  Hmmm, maybe a little research for me...

Another happy thought is getting an email from Zhandos!  Hello!  Receiving letters by email, and I don't just mean brief messages, is a simple joy.  I immediately thought of the entire ISWI 2003 group.  Hmmm.  Sana magkita-kita nga tayo ulit.
