Merry Christmas everyone!
Marc and I had a quiet one here in Christchurch. The Kiwis aren't particularly festive compared to Filipinos, but then again who is? We had a lazy day of watching Pixar movies and I got up long enough to make a dinner of baked oysters and steaks. I'm kicking myself for not taking photos (sorry Mom). But to be honest, the oysters weren't very photogenic (due to lack of shells, I resourcefully baked them in a muffin pan) and the steaks didn't stay long enough on the plate to be photographed. It was all good though!
It's Boxing Day here and later we're off to watch the new Sherlock Holmes film. Woo!

We went on a trip to the West Coast last week, courtesy of Marc's friends. As a wedding present they gifted us with a train ride through the New Zealand alps and a weekend stay at Greymouth. It was quite rainy the first day but we made the most of it (hiking, brewery tour, eating chowder, etc). Thankfully the weather cleared the next day and we saw some blue skies.
Pictures here!

Lastly, I came across a neat tip for getting your lost camera returned to you. Blogger Andrew McDonald keeps a few pictures stored on his memory card that have his email address plus a cute little story of how much his camera means to him.
Click on it, it's seriously funny and cute.
