Okay folks, as you can probably tell, Christmas time is not a good time to maintain a blog, especially if you come from the Philippines where Christmas carols can be heard in the malls starting September (and it just builds up from there). Couple that with a wedding that my wife had to kind of take care of (Case & Sam congrats) and our upcoming trip to India on the 26th and you can imagine the turmoil.
As usual I'll try and write while on the road in India, which should be more wired than my last trip across China. At the very least watch my progress on my twitter feed on the right side of my page.
Thought I'd also take time out to wish everyone a Merry Christmas as well as hope that everyone has a great new year despite everything that's happening in the world. If there is anything you should do running up to the New Year it should definitely be to put the following on your new year's resolution list - "Get out there!". I'd further like to add that you should make it some place you'd never thought of going before, the further, more remote, the more alien to your current residence, the better. Try Iran or Nepal, go to the cattle market in Kashgar or climb Mt. Kinabalu. Just get out there. Oh and change that item on your list to "Get out there in January".

A happy Christmas to you and your wife! Nice post. Completely agree with your "Get out there" motto and would add that people not get too freaked out by travel advisories and just use common sense and caution.
Note the Philippines isn't exactly perceived as one of the safest destinations in the world, and yet you gladly live there and we gladly visit.
Enjoy India! And wish me luck as I sell my husband on Colombia (if only for Cartagena).
Colombia! COLUMBIA! Wow, sounds great. Make sure to post your pics when that happens.
