My Globe Phone Number has Changed

Hey guys,

My globe phone was snatched (pick pocketed) on the LRT yesterday (yes, Christmas Day). 

It was kind of the “perfect storm” for a thief:  the LRT was very crowded (which surprised me) and I had a handful of books.  I just couldn’t guard all of my pockets, hold my books, and keep my balance all at the same time. 

It really isn’t a big deal–I lost one a couple of years ago in a bar.  It’s why I stick with inexpensive cell phones.

Anyway, my old globe number is out of commission as of about noon yesterday.  Sorry for those of you who sent Christmas greetings and didn’t get a reply from me. 

Blessed in Baguio

I had a nice weekend in Baguio.  I went up to celebrate the first birthday (and dedication) of Erwin’s daughter since I’m a ninong.*  I also spoke to the youth group at GCF Baguio Sunday afternoon.

I love this city!  The weather is cool due to the high elevation–you realize you’re in the mountains when you see clouds descending around you (as pictured above).  It’s a generally relaxing city to visit–just doesn’t seem as fast-paced and busy as Manila. 

*Ninong is best translated “godfather” in this context.
