Splash Here and There

The website I built from scratch is finally complete www.geocities.com/arleneadto. Although my wife's profile photo is not yet what we envision to be (chic makeup with beauty lighting), this candid photo taken during former BusinessDay editor and BWorldonline top honcho Mike Marasigan's xmas party has to make do. I am sure it will take her forever to shop for her perfect dress (why won't a plain Hanes do?). I am slated to go to Iloilo, then Cebu, then most probably Subic on the next days and "A Page Under Construction" is something my mild obsessive-compulsiveness can not take.

I have had my driver's license renewed this afternoon (*hint, hint: who's celebrating his birthday) and got to experience first-rate government bureaucracy again. The transfer of Land Transportation Office in La Loma to a new venue across Sto. Domingo Church has done it some good -- the perimeter has been fenced, discouraging fixers to prey on LTO virgins. There seems to be a sense of order now: information desks are placed on important corners, barkers echoing the applicants names after every PA. However, why do they have to allow smoking in the area and why do they assigned a non-photographer to take the license ID. At least, Luneta photographers know how to cue you by counting 1-2-3. Result: I seem to be staring at my right side crotch -- mindlessly. Come to think of it -- there isn't any photo of myself I love recently except for this one taken in HK three years ago.
