SUN, BEACH and BEER

During my last day at the beautiful island of Koh Tao, I took a day off like literally an off away from all of my social media accounts. T’was just the therapeutic power of sun, fine sand, flawless sea and a thirsty-taste bottle of beer. And trust me, it went so well. You know, amidst all the craziness in social media, decision-making skills and fast-changing situations these days, you only need that perfect moment of ‘me, myself and I’. And you, my gawjuss reader, should do this one also like once in a year or even as often as possible to reflect on the things going on around you, those relationships you have been dealing with and of course, to listen to your inner self. You would be surprise how wondrous it may be.

Because, at the end of the day, without reflection we may go blindly on our way.  That’s all!

Keep posted. I love y’all!

SURAT THANI, THAILAND

“Surat Thani” is the largest of the southern provinces of Thailand which mean "city of good people", a title given to the city by King Vajiravudh. And yes to that. In fact, during my three days stay there, everything was just so smooth and carefree. I mean like, the Thai way of perceiving lifestyle as chill as possible and away from problems and chaos, that’s it. That was exactly what I felt during my visit there.

Well, aside from watching Fast & Furious 7 for the second time around (LOL), I also paid respect to their ‘Salak Luang’ monument where everyone who is a first timer in the area should visit and ask someone from above for a very harmonious stay. And this, my friend, is such an Asian culture and I love it!

Similarly, Songkran Festival is fast approaching and I was so thankful to have the opportunity to bathe Buddha inside the shopping mall and no, I am not kidding at this time.

Enjoy!

P.S.: I left my memory card for my DSLR. Thus, all the photos are taken using my trusted Samsung Galaxy S4. Also, I forgot to buy at Surat Thani and here in Koh Tao, they do not have the kind of memory card I need for my camera. So, Lawd, have mercy! 

And to cap my stay in Surat Thani, I spent my last night there enjoying the native delicacies served at Siam Thani Hotel.

Keep posted. I love y'all!

CHIANG MAI, THAILAND 2014

It's time of the year when you just leave your cawfee tumbler and paper works at home, VOILA! WELCOME TO HOLIDAY 2014!

So, I just started off my two-week holiday in northern part of Thailand where elephants have more direction sense than I am. LOL. Chiang Mai is full of wonders, overflowing native offers and of course, boundless of tourist attractions to visit. My stay there was, indeed, short yet packed with beautiful memories. And the following photos are the non-living proof that I did have a very good time in Chiang Mai!

Chiang Mai is located 700 kilometers north of Bangkok and attracts 5 million visitors each year. Also, Chiang Mai is one of the two tourist destinations in Thailand on TripAdvisor’s list of “25 Best Destinations in the World”.  Oh wait, that is so f*ckin fabulous!

BEACH GARDEN HOTEL CHA-AM

I know. I know. It sounds really insane to hear from someone who is visiting a country for the very first time where beautiful beaches are just a-meter away from home yet haven’t enjoyed them for eight months. LOL.

But lo & behold, your gayest bestfriend just nailed last weekend with, of course, his loving spouse. HAHA.  With that, we just enjoyed too much the holiday having drunk by the wine for the record. And yes, sumptuous buffets were served, lavish hotel accommodation, and oh, let the waiter utter how many bottles of wine were poured in.

I JUST LOVE IT!

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.
