My blog has been collecting space dust again. Can someone please remind me that i have a blog to update? Even my Moleskine needs to be updated. Damn.

Life lately has been good to me. I hope it stays that way for a long time, if not forever. Threw a cocktail party for my 22nd birthday and i'm really happy my closest college buddies came. I missed them. I miss college, i miss everything about it. It's good to hear that most of my college pals have work already while others are trying their luck in law school. Going to a law school sounds sophisticated and scholarly to me but it's just not for me. Right now, i am finding myself in a different direction, in a road less traveled. I hope just like everyone else, i am walking the right path, because there's no turning back, not now that i have traveled long enough.

Courage and wisdom. I gotta have more of those. If my mum was so successful doing it, why can't i?

I'm setting up my SOHO. I'm hoping it will look just like how i envisioned it to be.

We were so paranoid when we reached Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok thus the mask. Western people were everywhere. I didn't even notice a thermal scanner. Better be called paranoid than be sorry later right?

Note: Guess what? Days after reaching Bangkok. Two thais came in from Mexico carrying the H1N1 virus.



While waiting for our next flight to Phuket, i found a gangsta, all alone.--NOT

Well the person in the hood is not really a gangsta. She's actually a western girl with a guy sleeping in her lap. I know right?! They're so sweet. No comment about the guy though. But the girl is definitely pretty. Too bad you can't see the face behind the hood.



After a boring 3-hour flight to Bangkok and a 1:30 minute flight to Phuket, we're finally in the famous Patong Beach!





I love this beach as much as i love Boracay. Their nightlife here is hotter and heavier here though. Kid's shouldn't be allowed to go out at night. :D









Phuket's main attraction: ladyboys. LOL. I think they're hot and super funny. Some of them looked too good to be true. I don't really know why some white men are easily fooled.

Ever wonder how it feels to be a buddhist?





I got to experience how to pray like a buddhist. I took three incense sticks, one for the buddha, one for the Sangha (the buddhist community), one for the Dharma (teachings of the Buddha) a flower which symbolizes the purity of Buddhist teachings, and a small candle which is for comprehension enlightenment. I lit the incense sticks and knelt three times before putting the incense sticks in front of Buddha.



After praying and putting the incense sticks in front of the Buddha, i then covered Buddha with a thin golden leaf to honour Buddha's teachings.

The prayer ceremony ended well. There was actually this part wherein you would know your future by moving a box of sticks up and down so a single stick could fall. Each stick is numbered and each number corresponds to a certain future. Luckily for me, i got the number 16, my future was written in pure thai so i had our tour guide translate it for me. He said that my future is indeed all about luck. And no matter where i go and what i do, i will always be lucky. I hope so. Even though i am not really a firm believer of luck.

After seeing the famous Bangla road and after being a buddhist for one day, a few more days were spent just lounging around and drinking in our resort talking about politics and Hitler, tattoos, religion, devastating love, filipino foods vs. thai foods, homesickness, and life in general.







I can't say i'm totally happy without him. But i'm happy. At least.

Next: Bangkok Pictures

Mood: Thinking. Hates having period cramps.
Song: None playing.




Finally had the courage to get up and embrace the sun once more. It's been a while. Life will not always wait for me.

Albums coming soon: Baccalaureate Mass, Graduation, Spiral Dinner, Boracay 2009

Sorry for the delay.

Mood: I want peace of mind. Please give it to me. Please.
Song: None playing




When will i survive you? When i know that each waking day of my life, i will miss you.

Nique gave me this picture. She wanted me to move on. I didn't. I've got nothing to lose. You're already gone. It was probably both our fault. Maybe i came too strong, and you came too weak. Or probably it was my fault because i was willing to embrace my vulnerability and you didn't.

Are you still worth the fight? I'm not yet completely over you. Days and counting. I don't know what to feel. It pains me a lot that you never did anything, that you never fought for whatever feelings you have for me.

I am moving on without you.

I do not care if this feeling may take a year to completely die down. I am moving on without you.

You should too.

Probably, we will meet again someday when we're both successful.

Probably we will both be ready.

I know i shouldn't be saying this, but i will be so proud of you during our graduation. I know you've worked very hard and i know you deserve each and every kind of recognition you will receive.

I've always wondered what is it about Thailand that makes it the sex capital of the world. I've always wondered how Phuket breathes easy after being hit by a tsunami. Most importantly, I've always wondered about monkhood and temples in Thailand.

I guess i am about to satisfy my curiosity soon. : )

Now that i am about to graduate, i will be doing a lot of travels this year before going to Brisbane for postgrad.

May 7: Bangkok, Phuket
June 19: Hongkong
July 5: London

I've always loved traveling. When i was a little warthog, i promised myself that right after college, i will sail away from my safe harbor and start experiencing the real world. Of course, my parents did not approve of this. They want me to always be with them. They think i cannot handle the daily stress of washing my own clothes, doing my own dishes, and cleaning my own house. They think i am always up to something dangerously stupid. Well, i want to prove them wrong.

While my friends think i am a mentally strong person, my parents think i am very fragile. Couldn't blame them. I was accident prone when i was a kid. Each time we were on a vacation somewhere, i would always go home with a stitch. Seriously. I even know how it feels to be in a state of temporary amnesia because i had a serious head injury when i was in grade four. Thank goodness, there weren't any scars to mark all these recklessness.

Yes, my parents believe that i am very reckless and adventurous thus they do not want me out of their sight.

Though there will always be a running girl inside me, they should know that i am not a little freak anymore. They should know that i am already a woman (Naks!) who is more careful and wiser this time. A woman who has to think of her future seriously. A woman who needs to play the game of survival of the fittest carefully.

I am very close with my family and though i hate to leave them, i have to. I need to find my own person without them. I expect a lot from myself, thanks to my highly individualistic nature. I told myself that, before i set out to marry someone, i will have to fulfill all my major self-expectations first. I guess life really works for me this way, i cannot think of any other approach to begin and steer my future aside from what i had written in this long post.

P.S. Happy Birthday Roshni. You deserve all the love in this world. Ellan told me you are among the very few who passed UP LAW! Gosh, you are so brilliant. Bloody brilliant. LOL.

Hindi naman sa lasingerra ko, pero minsan ay kailangan ko lang talaga ng alak para makatulog. Alam mo yun? Hindi siguro. Nyeta.

Translation: Not that i'm a drunkard bitch, but sometimes, i need a couple of tequila shots so i can sleep. Such is life.
