• I started 2004 with a trip to Australia... I was actually on the plane last January 1!
• I enjoyed my work in McCann...
• This is the year when I spent the most number of vacations... Baguio, Boracay, Galera, Vigan, Pagudpod... I love the beach!
• I was one of the firsts to have "bangs" for my hair when the trend started. hahaha!
• My sister gave birth to a cute baby girl... I call her Bianca (even if her real name is Lariza Yvonne) and all the people started calling her Bianca instead of her real name. I am so influential, right?
• My brother finally migrated to Australia (...and who knows, I might do the same!)
• I got several job offers from different companies and countries without even applying... and all offered wonderful compensation! I never imagined that I will be in demand!
• And then of course...Thailand--- the best thing that happened to me this year.

Life is good. And I am definitely living it. Well, forget about the bad things that happened... compared with what I have now, all the heartaches seems worthless.

Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy.

By the way, on the lighter note... I got all sorts of different request from my friends and family for pasalubong. Spicy sampaloc... dried langka (hahaha! how native diba?! parang nasa Davao lang ako!)... Thai silk... silver stuff... shirts... teas... and THAI PORN. Ok, I'm not telling who among my friends asked for it. But it's so funny because I had to approach those vendors who just whispers "sex dvd, vcd". And what is funnier is that, I told the vendor... "I want DVD. Men 2 Men. Make sure, boy and boy only. Chai?" Hay, things we do for friendship...

To my friends in the Philippines... sorry but I did not get pasalubong for everyone. But hope to see you guys soon!

May the G-FORCE be with you...
[The pulling of objects toward Earth by gravity is called G-force.]

Imagine...

You're spinning upside down, then plummeting from the height of a 30-storey building while watching the fast-approaching ground. What else is there to do but scream like there is no tomorrow, right?!

This is what happened to me when I rode the G-Force at the Amazing Fun Park here in Bangkok. Attached to the top of a super upright pole is a giant lever, which gives the G-force the appearance of a two-pronged windmill. (Sorry, I don't have pictures right now. We did not bring a camera and only had money in our pockets to make it convenient for all of us). Each end of the lever has four back-to-back ride seats, facing outwards in pairs. After securing the seats, we were then lifted into the air as the opposite end of the lever drops down to ground level to pick up more joy riders! I swear... this must have been the longest, scariest two minutes of my life. The anticipation was killing me! From the seat, our legs hang freely, and my hands glued to the safety bar across my chest! Hahaha!

And there I was on top of the world, screaming endlessly to the endless sky, when suddenly, the G-Force hurls earthwards in a sharp circle drop. All I can do is scream as we plummet towards the ground! The giant lever continues to rise and fall while at the same time, the seat was spinning around 360 degrees! It was definitely a lot of spinning and spinning and dizziness.

Nakakadiri pero nasuka talaga ko! hahaha! pero not naman in the park.
I threw-up around 1hr. after we left (thank God I was already home!) And I still felt dizzy the day after! Grabe!

My "Heart" in Thailand
Have I finally found TRUE LOVE?!

No.

Hahaha! But I found Heart!


Heart is a television host. He's probably the better version of Arnold Clavio in Unang Hirit or Julius Babao in Magandang Umaga. I used him for my recent event, a dealer's convention. Thank God he speaks good english! Close na kami. hahaha! Parang lahat naman ng ginagamit ko na host pinagnanasahan ko eh... but of course, no one can compare to Marc.

My Ultimate Wish
Some of you may be wondering, kulang yata ang wish list ni Laragirl... walang lalake sa listahan?! Hahaha.

Well, just to make it clear, I am not asking Santa for a man to love and who will love me more in return. Divine Providence na ang kailangan ko noh! For years I've prayed that my wish will be granted... but so far all I got were some bunch of assholes, fuckers and suckers.

So, here goes...

Dear God (sige, pati na rin kay Buddha at kung sino-sino pang mga gods of love dito... since I'm based here in Thailand),

I hope that you will grant me my one ultimate wish. My one true love.
And while you're working on it, can you make sure that he is at least:

• 180cms in height
• with weight no less than 80kgs (hindi naman pwede shempre ang payat sa kin diba?!)
• pleasing personality based on my standards (mahirap ba mashado? ano nga ba ang standards ko... well, you and my friends should know by now.)
• earning more than what I'm earning (dapat at least $2,000 ang monthly income nya)

Any nationality will do. But I really have this thing for Caucasians. He doesn't have to be good looking, but at least he should look good in my eyes... If my requests are too detailed, sige na nga... bahala ka na.

I used to have a lot of criteria when I was younger. (Nagmamaganda forever!?) But now, I realize... it only boils down to the most important thing for me... he should love me more than I love him.

Love,

Laragirl a.k.a. Biatch
