DAY30: a very happy girl today

-
Finally!

I thank God for the awesome year that He has given me, it was definitely worth the wait of the 30-day countdown. If some of you were wondering why I'm doing all this DAY-ish something posts, its because I'm doing a countdown for my birthday, just to get me excited and for the conceited purposes of announcing it.

Happy girl, am a very happy girl today. 

Woke up early and had a tapa breakfast and brewed coffee with my roommate, went to work did some useless cramming on our documents and got surprised when one of my electricians came in the office with a big cake. My electrical team gave me a cake!


I am deeply touched by the gesture. See they are workers; I understand that it is very unpractical for them to buy such a thing, and them buying it was very very touching. 

Two things I realized from this cake. 
1. That I am already an Engr. (this is my first cake with an Engineer in it)
2. and that somehow I am doing things right in terms of treating my subordinates

My Electrical team inspired me to be a better boss (because I want more cakes in the future), and I promise to be one forever. Someone who always seeks the welfare of her subordinates while consequently being able to achieve the corporate goals that are mandated by whoever is up there.


I LOVE MY JOB!

We ate the cake with them and my other officemates:

 


 


Ummmm... I also finished this form, just for the sake of accomplishing something. And for the intentional purpose of starting to move on


Punched out at around 12:50 pm and went straight home to LB to get my nails done and to spend the rest of my day the way I want to. 

I got the gifts that I wanted from my beloved parents (he.he.he. evil laughter), and I got another cake. This time is blackforest (the last one was mocha) and it is from my tatay so it was extra special as well.


We had a simple dinner, I got a simple prayer. Did neither something special nor received something extraordinary; but, I am a happy girl today. A very happy one.

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!
