Boxing day

Tsunami hit South Asia a year ago, left more than a quarter million people dead or missing. Memorial services were held in half a dozen affected countries where the tragic catastrophe's hit today. A solemn and painful memory. I pray for those who survived and the faithful departed.

In a week, a new year will begin, new hopes with new inspirations. What have we achieved thus far? A better life? A humbler person? Christmas came and went. I was born a Christian and I am ashamed of how my Christmas went. I skipped mass. It was almost another ordinary day.

Here I am back at work, after a week's holiday in Bangkok and Pattaya.
