Nope, I will not tack this one to 'ningas kugon'. *
Since I went to Ho Chi Minh and Manila in March, it's been hard to get back to the groove of blogging. I remember typing up an entry from an internet cafe in Saigon and apart from the minutes ticking away (which was admittedly peanuts -everything there was darn cheap), I was very conscious of the fellow beside me surreptitiously glancing at my monitor. It did not help that I started that entry talking about how hard it was to breathe because of the cigarette smoke emanating from him. - So I blame my hiatus on that dingy cafe, pesky neighbors, and shortness of breath.
OK, now that I've dealt with my ningas kugon, I need to deal with this propensity for excuses =)
