4th TIME in THAILAND

I've done it again for the 4^th time and 1^st time this year I fly back to my favorite country THAILAND to have some needed R&R ( rest & recuperation ).  I probably wont get tired coming back to this country, but not as exaggerated as last year where I go there 3 times, I’m thinking of making it a yearly routine to visit the temple and escape to a new environment country.

Well here’s my INSTAGRAM pictures of my last trip, later on I will feature more of THAILAND and explain why I fell in love with the country…

 The most PHOTOGRAPH and SHARED place in INSTAGRAM, THAILAND’s SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT.

 This is how it looked like from inside the AIRPLANE.

The LAZY BLOGGER

I know I haven’t had any updates lately, there’s so many reasons like, health my eye hurts sometimes staring too much on the computer, house chores cause I hate living in a dirty place and kinda ironic cause I loathe cleaning, my novena I’m literally participating in two and that takes away two days of my every week and painting as I'm relieving the Monet in me LOL, but from all these excuses it only roots out to one thing I’m LAZY most of the time and UNCOORDINATED if I may add.

But don’t worry guys, things will change from here, I decided to do more updates, interesting or not you’re here because you want to read something so I’m giving you everything in the coming post, not that cause I need to fill each day but for the reason that in every giving days, things happen and those are what I’ll blog about.

To LIFE and BLOGGING,

Love Your KAPWA,

DAY 03 - LAST DAY IN SINGAPORE

It’s our third and our last day in SINGAPORE, what else to do but cram on the things we can push before the day ends.

First things first, you can’t go to SINGAPORE without taking a picture of their trademark structure, the MERLION.  Located at the MARINA BAY waterfront, this half fish half lion tourist structure was mounted in 1972, since then it was moved from different places until it finds its home at the MERLION PARK MARINA BAY after 30 years in 2002.

Well that’s the only info I could share, check out the pictures I take hopefully it makes you see what I see, a structure that represents the countries power, SINGAPORE the LION CITY.

DAY 02 - LES MISERABLES / SENTOSA

DAY 02 – After a very tiring THEME PARK day yesterday, we decided to make this day a free and easy one.  On the itinerary I included the movie I’m so eager to watch since I saw its trailer “LES MISERABLES” and some stroll on the park of “SENTOSA”.

DAY 01 - UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE

Well finally I’m here to share my TRIP to SINGAPORE; I spend three fun filled days in SINGAPORE and let me divide this post into three sections covering the first day to the third in individual post.

To prelude, its actually my third visit in the country, the first time was with my boyfriend where we didn't do much for both of us were first time traveler, the second time was just a transit where I only spend four hours in the airport and finally this time where I get to go around the country and discover what SINGAPORE has to offer.  I originally plan to stay a week but with the high cost of living and prices where a bottled water cost 2 S$ (Singaporean Dollar) each, I think 3 days would be expensive enough, LOL.

But you can’t put a price to experience and memories it will leave behind that’s why I probably spend the same amount of a week's travel in that short 3 days stay, and it was money well spent.

To start off my SINGAPORE trip, I enter the famous UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE…

HOME from SINGAPORE

Minus the two days flight night arrival and afternoon departure, my 3 days in SINGAPORE was just as perfect as I want to be, I did enjoy the country like every other tourist who plan and achieve their vacation itinerary.

SINGAPORE, by far is the cleanest country I been to, there’s trash bin everywhere and people are keen to throwing their trash anywhere, the country is industrialize with beautiful infrastructures, what’s nice about this country is they designate a city center for malls for shopping ORCHARD ROAD and another city center for theme park SENTOSA – UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and another for SINGAPORE famous infrastructures like the MERLION, SINGAPORE FLYER and MARINA BAY SANDS; and I don’t know if its that way everyday there but there’s actually no traffic in my 3 days stay, their means of transport was very effective as there’s not much waiting time for the train to come and taxi’s are everywhere, even the bus wasn't that crowded.

Of FAITH and BELIEF

Growing in a predominant CATHOLIC country the question of FAITH shouldn't be at question, but growing up I have so many unanswered question that leave my FAITH up in hanging.

I even remember a college friend whom a devout BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN whom I presented all my questions and in the end tag me that I’m going to HELL, too much for an inquiry I guess.  I try to mingle at my brother and sister in faith, but I guess being who I am and what I am is a sure ticket to their judgment.  My GUIDANCE COUNSELOR in a CHRISTIAN school where I finish my OJT told me that I’m lucky the head accepted me knowing I was gay and they are a CATHOLIC SCHOOL.  My mom’s friend encourages me to serve our CHURCH, in the end they ask me to be a man as a requirement to serve the HOUSE of GOD.  They also didn't accept my sister who’s separated to her husband.  Well I guess the hell would be a CROWDED place for people like me and those couples who are separated, HELL would be like the OSCARS with so many celebrities there.

2012 – HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

The year that was 2012, well for me this year was the best year of my life…  I get to enjoy life as it is, do things I dream about doing and be with people I love, also this year I get to be with my loving BF two times (I wish for more but VISA problem)…

CHINA NOVEMBER 2010

It’s the first time I travel outside of my country and definitely the first will always stay with you, as the saying goes.  Well the start would have to be detesting especially when you start off applying VISA for the country where they make you come back 4 times due to incomplete requirements, that’s definitely taking the fun out of first time travelling.  But fortunately CHINA embassy is not like other countries (ahem U.S. embassy) that you need to pay them for every time you come back, my entire return trip was free of charge.  And most thankful that CHINA embassy grant me a VISA and at ease letting me come to their country without fearing a poor unemployed me would overstay in their country, LOL.

Since its me and my sister’s first time visiting a foreign country and riding an international plane were unknowingly complaisant that the plane wait for its passengers just like in those infomercials where the aircraft staff were smiling while guiding you to the plane, well their guiding us to the plane for real but not smiling and very much rushing, thankfully 40 minutes before the flight was roughly enough time to push us inside the airport as the last two passengers.

Six hours and then we arrive; CHINA or BEIJING airport to be exact is beautiful, not stunning but clean and big, better than my home country airport.  Thankfully it’s that way cause being a budget traveler we can’t afford an overnight in a hotel so we spend the rest of the eight hours to be exact in the airport waiting for the tourist guide in the morning.  Well eight hours a breeze especially when you’re excited about what’s ahead, and then the morning comes together with the tourist guide.  We had cute couple together with us from the same country and that makes the tour so much better.

First stop, GREAT WALL OF CHINA and yes straight from the airport, there’s probably so much to see in this 2 days tour so we have to hurry.  And definitely it’s great to see THE GREAT WALL, it’s beautiful and picturesque and seems unendingly long, seriously my heart melts seeing a structure so beautiful you never thought it’s possible to witness it in person.  I only see the structure in movies and picture and definitely it’s better in person.  No wonder the GREAT WALL OF CHINA is always in the list of places to go to.  I would advice everyone to witness this landmark in person if you can, witness, touch and feel it, but probably don’t climb the stairs of it if you’re afraid of heights like me.  The step towards the stairs was so steep like a size of one foot per leap you think it’s a feat to climb up but looking on your way down would make you faint, and yes I pass on the experience of doing the stairs.
