I loved the Philippines... it agreed with me.  First I write on this silly machine to explain to you, that before I left for this journey, I was but a meek 2 month old.  I came back, a strong- vibrant and alert 3 month old.  I am ready to take on the world.  I started with the Philippines, this will not end well for mere mortals.   Of course, I'm not that stupid that I would divulge my taking over the world to this pitiful little band.   -Emily Mairin Keith
