WORK B*TCH

One of my intimate passions in life is travelling. I really do love to travel. And I quote, “So, young person, travel. Travel wide and far. Travel boldly. Travel with full abandon.” end of quote. I couldn't agree more to Mr. Jeff Goins of goinswriter.com. True enough that we, young people, should travel the world, take the risks, explore the horizons, discover new things, and just get lost somewhere. It is because, with these experiences, we tend to grow, to fall in love, and to show respect to anyone whom we will encounter along the journey called life.

BUT (YES! very big but), being your gayest bestfriend, the more I travel, the more I shop, and the more I love it. Dilemma comes in when packing and unpacking tend to come in between. Why on earth do we really have to pack and unpack? I just couldn't understand this phenomenon or even this kind of behavior. I hate it! Most especially, when you have better things to do rather than pack your things up and starting to get some problems how to pack. Hideous!

Abraham knows when I left Philippines, I only had 7 kilograms weighed of a hand-carry bag (one set of formal wear, a fixed casual wear, a regular sleep wear, and trust me, one pair of shoes). After sinfully living in Bangkok for about two months, I moved to Ubon Ratchathani where is 9 hours away from Bangkok carrying two big bags. Now that I am flying back to Bangkok, I just don’t know what happened; my things multiplied all by themselves (don’t blame me, please!). They just started to sprout anywhere inside my room and lo & behold, from one pair of shoes, now, I am using nine pairs! For almost four months in Thailand, I can’t believe what crime I just did.

MISS CANDLE FESTIVAL 2013

As I always say, being friendly is all about everything. It can take you somewhere and YES! to the extent of getting a free backstage pass during one of the most prestigious pageants here in Ubon Ratchathani; Miss Candle Ubon.

Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival’s experience wouldn't be as complete as you wished it to be without watching the beauties of men, I mean, women strutting the customary exquisiteness of Thai Isarn Costume.

UBON CANDLE FESTIVAL 2013

As previously mentioned on my entry, Ubon Ratchathani has hundreds and hundreds of temples across the city. YES! Even after passing by an assemblage of houses, there you will see a temple; whether in a middle of busy yet fully stocked establishments or simply just on a vacant lot. Having said that, Ubon made a commonsensical explanation on why it holds the biggest and most extravagant Candle Festival throughout Thailand during full moon in July which symbolizes the beginning of Buddhist Lent.

Moi alongside with my cousin Nowa, Sir Cheng, and some English friends (who really came to Ubon just to witness the major candle festival) fought the scorching sun and let ourselves be amazed on what Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival stored for us.

AND IT NEVER FAILED US!

UBON RATCHATHANI 2013

Stayed in Bangkok for two months and tick tock the clock forward and VOILA! Welcome to country’s easternmost part, Ubon Ratchathani (Thai: อุบลราชธานี). A home for beautiful lotus flower in which the city is being named after; 629 kilometers away from Bangkok yet still the most viable alternative from the busiest and most visited city in Asia.

Here, you can witness the REAL THAILAND, I mean, not talking about the tourist spots and beaches across the nation, but culturally speaking, Ubon has by far the most authentic and well preserved Thai lifestyle and lo and behold, the Buddhist temples.

ENJOY!
