New Year's Eve

I usually don't go buck wild over New Year's but this one was lots of fun. I can't say what was specifically so great about it, just a blur of good music, good company, lots of dancing with a dash of Thai drama on the side. Since I don't do drama, I stuck to dancing.

One of the highlights of the night was when a Thai friend that I ran into during the eve came to me toward the end of the night and he said, "I didn't even recognize you, Mia. You were so charming tonight." I like to think that these are two compliments completely independent of each other. Although on those rare occasions when I exude a little bit of charm, I can see how it's hard to put my name to that face.

More pictures of NYE and Christmas in the photo archive links on the left. The next morning I felt like garbage, naturally, and I found myself wondering how late we stayed out. Thank goodness for the clock appearing in some of those photos to remind me of the joys and of staying out waaay after my bedtime.

Last but not least, I hope all had a very happy new year and here's to this one being better than the last. We all have something to celebrate. Maybe next new year it will be the booming economy... As the Thais always say, maybe next time. Cheers.
