wednesday to friday's worth

-
 After rushing to accomplish some stuff at the office last Wednesday, I immediately packed my bag for a long awaited music recital at the CCP. I have scheduled this appointment one month in advanced just to make sure that all other appointments get cancelled for this one. Theia and Anna met me up at harbor square, then we saw tita grace and kuya elmer at the theater. It was a night of beautiful music.

The last time i had been to CCP was during Miss Saigon pa, and watching beautiful concerts has been quite a while already. So to say that the concert was a stress reliever is an understatement. Its description would have to be a mixture of having a cold bath after a long hot day, having your bad dreams pulled out from your memory, and it also felt like flowers and prairies. I can testify through this that the best things in life are free. (see free seating on the ticket).

stolen photo of the theater.. tsk tsk tsk

After the concert (around 10pm), I hoped on the last trip of the bus that will take me home to Los Banos. The late and comfortable bus ride brought me straight to three new puppies, three new kittens, a comfortable bed and a happy house invasion from my college homies.

I tried to keep up with their energies, but my old person body got the best of me so I left them as they were and lulled myself to sleep. Woke up to my favorite beautiful rainy mornings of Los Banos and did the following things until today.


  • Had flu shots:


  • Went to a coffee shop to send some urgent emails and do some phone calls that can't wait as well 

  • Went to UPLB to claim honorariums for panelling at theses and practicum defenses. (I'm actually getting more fond of UP now, because its still paying me some good stuff even if I temporarily left it behind)

  • Facilitated the TESDA accreditation of my electricians (they passed.. *wink wink*)
  • facilitated the logistics of the preparation audit of our company; boss told me that we did good... :)
  • had MERALCO start digging for the electric posts inside the condo complex
  • got audited for the first time as site lead auditor and received not bad comments. :)
  • had Mon's practicum application approved by his immediate supervisor, for further approval of the vice president (keep your fingers crossed)
not bad. not bad.

Crazy Cambodia Day1

I have been meticulously planning/ dreaming for this trip for the last 3-6 months and it is fantastic to finally be here and be outside of the Philippines. We booked an evening flight from Manila to Siem Reap, got out of our work modes (me having the easier part in getting out of work while tiah having a harder time to do so), went to the airport and boarded our flight. The flight to siem reap was tiring and we had a bit of a scare when we arrived because it felt like Siem Reap was a ghost town. But the Lord was gracious. He gave us a very good tuk-tuk driver and, a very good and cheap hostel accommodation. We woke up to a different country the next morning and this is our first  first impression of Siem Reap:

Siem Reap to Bangkok by Bus and by Train Day 3

-
We wanted to take our adventure to a higher level so we opted to go with the road less traveled. Booked a bus ticket to Poipet, crossed the border, rode a tuktuk to the train station at Aryanapathet and rode the third class train to Hua Lamphong station. Do not ride tuktuks in Thailand, most of them are scams so it is better to ride a metered taxi instead because they are generally better and more legit. Bus to Poipet (Cambodia side Cambo-Thai border) = 5 USD Tuktuk from Border to Aranyapathet station = 80 THB Do not ride tuktuks near the border, they usually charge you with a higher price. We rode the tuktuk near the 7-11 shop which is in front of the bank Train from Aranyapathet station to Hua Lamphong station = 48 THB Ride a metered taxi to your hotel. Make sure that the driver turns on the meter... This is our video log for day3 and how the third class train from Aranyaphathet border to Hua Lamphong looks like: We were DEAD tired after this trip... but we wil

Busy Bangkok Day 4

A dishonest tuk-tuk driver, a busy street just like manila, and two confused disoriented Indays started the Thailand part of our misadventure. We were apprehensive with Bangkok... But it was fun anyway. :)  We visited the grand palace (had some ultimate photo bum photos with Korean tourists- see photo above),  the reclining Budha (silly photos with funny looking statues) and Khao San road (below). I was mesmerized by the grandeur of Thailand's old religious architecture and I was enticed by Khao San's vibrant night life and energy! Haha! :) Saya!
