(electronic) inauguration day



i watched history unfold today as barack obama was sworn is as the 44th president of the united states. i listened to the fanfare on NPR while driving to work and barely made it to the parking lot when obama started his speech. i made my way up to our offices and aimee had her computer on msypace, streaming the event through hulu. i sat behind her and watched, while one-by-one our coworkers filed in and joined us. i snapped the pic above with my iPhone to capture how millions of americans (and the world) viewed this historic moment.

perfectly simple yet simply perfect

february 20 - march 7

i finally booked a ticket to manila. it'll be my first time back in 19 years. i never ever say this, but time DOES fly. i'm curious to see how much has changed and what stayed the same, how much "smaller" everything is now compared to when i was 10 years old (crossing my street seemed like a big deal then), and just the way of life. plus, the sightseeing, the nightlife, and the shopping. good times.
