I haven't been around much, for about two weeks now, since everything's been moving pretty fast. Am working on this project (corporate identity system and branding) that should take about 6 weeks. So, it's been an intense first two weeks and what time I have, I have dedicated to other pursuits (like writing out them thank you cards).

I do occasionally have things I want to share, and of course, the usually links and stuff. But I haven't gotten down to that either.

There was a coup -- rather a peaceful armed demonstration -- a few blocks from where I lived. Their leader was a rather articulate, somewhat intelligent, and very determined junior officer, who had a Masters degree in Public Administration and graduated top of his military class. He did a great job of embarassing the news anchor who was interviewing him, and was smart enough to surrender by day's end.

They looked great in their fatigues too.

Other than the fact that there was an entire tank battalion parked outside my street, everything was a-okay.

Then, there was the World Pool Championships, which ended in Alex Pagulayan (a Filipino living in Canada) losing to an unheralded German. The last two years, we've had Filipinos in the finals, but never a repeat of 1999 when Efren Reyes won it all.

Maybe I'll stop by again. Tomorrow. And see what's going on.
