week reversals

the christmas season has turned my gimmick habits on its head. i spent Friday night to Sunday afternoon veging at home, and since then i've been heading off to all sorts of weekday night social activities. the pain of weekenders doing their xmas shopping is enough to turn me off from any travel. today should be hellish, since it is the last working day before xmas. those banks should be packed.

finally was able to meet up with Premila last night. spent much time looking through her 700 picture collection of Nepali/Tibetan men working in and around Camden. Prem's got this funny all male barkada in London as her network. I couldn't keep track anymore of who was from what tribe or what, or who was part Belgian or part whatever. Jason was a welcome addition later on, and we played a little classic MSK* while finishing up our cans of beer. (Apparently, I'm the beer light-weight)

tonight is the final stretch. most of the gifts have been bought. there's just a xmas concert to attend to, two dinners, a wild party (?), before the calm of the 24th and hieing off to Ilocos
