1. plodding

(three more weeks to SEMBREAK!)

2. rising (to the occasion), i.e., hitting the
ground running

(in lieu of a picture by camille, here she is
at larry's book launch -- yes, sunsh, you will
receive this in the mail soon.)

eating asia *edited*

... in a span of two days. saraaaaaap.


1. japanese: rock and roll fried sushi (well, just the nori
was fried) with a fried shrimp salad and chicken teriyaki,
at john and yoko cosmopolitan japanese. edit: had some
super yummy absolutely-will-come-back-for cheese
wrapped fried tofu that had a light cream sauce and
goodness gracious, some bacon bits on top. how could i
forget?


2. thai: sticky rice dessert, ordered with tokwa and some
strange sauce, chicken satae, oh oh red chicken curry,
and catfish salad -- heaven, i swear! at SOMS.


3. chinese: the end of which was this wonderful tea that
began the meal, too. we had hakaw (goodness!), shark's
fin siomai, three mushrooms in oyster sauce, crispy lechong
kawali -- literally to die for. hahaha. at UNO seafood wharf.
