30 things before 24. DAY1

-
I'd be twenty-four years old, thirty days from now. So, instead of creating a bucket list (which I usually do) which is sort of asking God or the people around me to give me the things that I want; and because I am gaya-gaya to Charet ( a high school batchmate) who's doing the same, I would be doing this.

For thirty days, starting today, I'd be writing about the things/ people/ whatever that I am currently most thankful for. Currently will mean, adolescence, being single, broke, tired, coming home daily to an empty pad, coming home weekly to LB and dogs, being an only child, wondering and wandering about life and love, stress, work, being stuck in a man's world, yadda yadda yadda.

Today, I am thankful for friends at work:

I was wondering if I'd be loving this job like this, if I was given a different set of people to work with. I was deeply contemplating if I can separate work and work mates. And boy is it hard to do so, the two seems to go hand in hand. 


So, I am not making up my mind on that just yet because understanding can sometimes ruin the thrill and beauty of things. 

DAY 1: Friends at work. They make serious things at work feel like play; especially the serious-ish Site Management Review that i facilitated today.

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!
