• I really enjoy playing with a lot of bubbles.
• Thai girls are still generally shy about their bodies, which I totally don't understand considering that they are all very thin.
• I feel like I'm 120lbs. walking in my pink swimwear. LOL. Well, its still decent! Sort of like a tank-top with a bikini bottom.
• It's more practical to wear 2-pc especially if you're going to the restroom.
• In Thailand, people don't play beach volleyball. They like playing beach football instead.
• By the way, football is what we normally refer to as soccer.
• I love football!
• Watching the World Cup is very addictive!
• Watching the World Cup and drinking beer is great.
• Watching the World Cup with cool farangs makes it even better.
• I love Cahill of Australia. And Kaka of Brazil. At least I know more players now and not just Beckham.
• I wish USA would score a goal. LOL. I don't expect them to win, but at least have one decent goal for the entire World Cup duration.
• I don't really care who wins the World Cup though.
• I hate that my skin is darker. again.
• I love riding speedboats! It's scary but a whole lot of fun.
• Koh Samet is my favorite island - very near Bangkok with all the right people, bars and restaurants.
• Pattaya without the Hard Rock Foam Party is plain pathetic and sleazy.
• Drinking from small plastic buckets with a lot of straws is the 'in' thing.
• Pick-up trucks and motorcycle taxis are more popular modes of transportation... even more than the 'tuktuks'.
• I can never and will never ever ride a motorcycle taxi...
• I'm willing to pay 150baht for a 5-min ride in a pick-up. I can't ride at the back though. I'd rather sit in front with the driver.
• I love crabs. I think I ate almost 2 kilos during the entire trip.
• I love the beach, even if I don't know how to swim.
• I left my 795baht flipflops at the Hard Rock parking lot. LOL. I removed it and went inside the car bare feet. I just forgot to bring it in with me. It probably looks weird to have a pair of flipflops in a middle of an empty parking space.
• I'm halfway reading "The Lipstick Jungle" while I was on the beach drinking beer. I think I see my future in the three characters...
• It's great to mingle with foreigners on the beach... aroi mak mak!
• I will definitely go back to Koh Samet soon.

Watch out for pictures. Kailangan nakaupo ka when you see it. Wala na namang akong takot. Kahit na ilang kape pa ang inumin ko.

Butlers in the Buff
I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should move to UK.
Or maybe I should start a business here in Thailand...

Will someone give this to me as a gift please?!
Or maybe I'll have it as a gift to myself.

I swear... if I'm 40 and still never been married (I HOPE NOT!!!), I will throw a BIG party with all my friends plus a bunch of these guys. Mark my word.

Check out BITB!

Today is 06.06.06
So what? hehehe.
What's with all the six anyway...

I was browsing Friendster and saw an interesting bulletin from Rey.

It says:

Ten years ago, it was 1996. Take this survey, post the results, and see how many things have changed since then.


How old were you?
THEN: 18
NOW: 28

Where did you go to school?
THEN: St. Scholastica's College Manila
NOW: working

Where did you work?
THEN: Closest thing to work was probably my OJT at K-Lite 103.5
NOW: Professional Marketing Services Thailand - the biggest BTL agency based in Bangkok

Where did you live?
THEN: Our old house in Maywood Village
NOW: On my own in a serviced apartment here in Bangkok

How was your hairstyle?
THEN: Long, healthy, straight and very black hair
NOW: Still long, damaged, curly and about 3-4 tones of brown to blonde. It looks so bitchy now.

Did you wear braces?
THEN: Nope
NOW: I think I need to get one though... the gaps are getting prominent on the lower part.

Did you wear contacts/glasses?
THEN: Nope
NOW: Still a perfect 20/20 vision

Who was your best friend?
THEN: Maan & Mimi plus some high school friends
NOW: Ann - she's my Thai officemate. But I do hope that my friends will still be there when I get back.

Which of your pets were still alive?
THEN: Oprah and Kobe (both were black dogs)
NOW: I don't think I can manage to take care of pets anymore

Who was your boyfriend/girlfriend?
THEN: wala
NOW: uhm... it's complicated.

THEN: Nope
NOW: I haven't driven a car since 2004 I think.

Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2006?
Not at all... I turned out to be even better.
Honestly, I didn't really have high hopes and dreams. I just wanted to work for a while and then perhaps be a housewife after a few years or so.

But then... here I am in the lipstick jungle...
with all the other beautiful animals... wanting to be the queen?!

Unleashing the Inner 'Kusinera' in Me...
It all started with the sinigang.
Pork.
Beef.
And then shrimp.
It all tasted the same since I just used the sinigang mix. hahaha.

Then I ventured into doing menudo, mechado...

And over the weekend, I decided to do something different: pasta rigatoni with squid. Oh well, I think I've been watching too much cooking shows. LOL. But I'm really loving it!

I can't believe that I'm becoming really domesticated!
Pwede na kong mag-asawa?! lol

Isn't she pretty like me? =)
I can't believe it, but she was only 2 months old when I left!
Now she's a little girl...

I miss her.
