November 26 was the day of my visa expiry. So, I went to Ban Laem bordering Thailand and Cambodia on that day. I went there with a tour group and departed Bangkok early in the morning by van. It took us 4 hours to reach the border. Somehow, the trip was not so exhausting because the road from Bangkok to Cambodia was excellent, well-paved and there were only a few curves. It was good — I didn’t feel dizzy nor had any motion-sickness.

Along the way, we watched Tagalog movies and one movie was really wacky and hilarious! The title was “Apat Dapat, Dapat Apat” starred by the sexy comedian Rufa Mae Quinto, Candy Pangilinan, Eugene Domingo and the Clown for all seasons, Pokwang. I can never forget some of the most funny scenes! I can still laugh at it each time I remember. If you haven’t seen it yet, better watch it now. Guaranteed very funny! The second Tagalog movie that we played was a romantic drama that starred Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis — entitled “When Love Begins”.

It was 12 o’clock when we arrived at the border and got off straight to the Casino for our buffet lunch and soon after went ahead for visa renewal. Then, we went off back to Bangkok and arived Bangkok at past 6 o’clock in the evening. From there I took the BTS sky train from the first station to the last, which took me 30 minutes to get there and took a bus ride to home. Our condo unit is only a walking distance from the bus station but I was too lazy to walk, so, I hitched on a songtaew, a Thai word which means a pick-up car converted to a public commuter. Unfortunately, I hopped into the wrong songtaew and got lost! That was a terrible experience! I should be home by 7 o’clock but I got home and had my dinner at already 9 o’clock in the evening.

Anyway, I’m still thankful I reached home safe and sound. The day’s trips completely drained me of all strength! Since it was already my third exit in Cambodia, my next end will either be in Laos, Singapore or hopefully, the Philippines. That will be on or before Christmas. I and my sister are still planning where to fly to. We have two choices, Singapore and Philippines. I’d really love to go to Singapore and experience riding on the huge flyer and see the beauty of Singapore. However, I really miss my home and I’m praying that I could spend my Christmas eve with our family in the Philippines.

I made this inspirational poem for people to look on the brighter side and to appreciate the gift of life. Remember to appreciate what you have before it’s too late for you to appreciate what you had. Enjoy and love what you have now and live life to the fullest.

“Appreciate Life”

life is a precious gift not everyone can have,
some can live longer while others die young.
lucky are those who have sight of the world
for some develop blindness and others are born blind.
blessed are those who can spend time with their families
for orphans are deprived to have one and those who live alone.
be sorry to those who are unable to speak
for they cannot say the words they long to be heard.
yet fortunate are those who are able to talk
for they have all the chances to say “I love you” to their loved ones.

gracious are those who have the sense of hearing
for they can listen and sing along to the music that heals their souls.
blest are those with bright schemes and brilliant minds
for they are the ones more favored to walk along the roads of success and prosperity.
but happier are the poor and the average
for they can easily find felicity and contentment with just what they have and with what they can have.
pity to those who are sick and dying
for they are running out of time to pursue and realize their dreams.
blissful are we ’cause we are endowed with life’s best –
our families, friends, food, shelter and wholeness.

so, open your eyes and thank GOD you’re alive.
go around and see the BEAUTY of the world.
follow your DREAMS and realize them.
spare TIME with your loved ones
and grab every chance to say and show how much you LOVE them
before TIME plays with you…

live your life like there is no tomorrow…

We all know that English is the universal language. However, in Thailand it is a foreign language and only a few knows how to speak English. Nevertheless, Thailand’s Ministry of Education had already instituted the English Program as part of the curriculum in all schools from preschool to college. On the other hand, I came to Thailand not to study English but to study the Thai language itself which people may say “hard to learn”. And I think so because my sisters were already here for about 10 years but still cannot read or write in Thai. They only learned to speak the common Thai phrases. Perhaps, Thai language may be really hard to learn.

It was only two weeks past since I arrived in Thailand when my sister took me on an exclusive tutorial of Thai language. I was the first and only “farang” (foreigner) student. The rest of the students were all Thai natives who were also enrolled for tutorial in any other subjects.

Learning Thai language was tough but I really enjoyed every minute I spent on it. And unbelievably, in only 12 hours I already knew how to read and write in Thai which was very difficult and mind-twisting. It was really an amazing experience! I am very glad that I already have a third language. Nonetheless, I am not yet through with the whole course. The next level would be focused on speaking or conversational Thai and I am so excited for it!

Are you looking for a safe and comfy place to live in? A fully-furnished condominium unit is for sale at a very reasonable price. It’s quite an urgent arrangement as the owner needs to relocate to another place. It is on the second floor of T4 Popular Condominium, Muang Thong Thani, Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, Thailand. There are security guards 24/7 and each gate is kept locked to keep the place safe. Elevators and stairs are just about 10 steps away. Car parking spaces are for free, however, secured car parking services are also available as an added facility. The area is actually called by many as a city within the city where convenient stores, banks, internet cafes, restaurants, schools and market are located in the vicinity. The Tennis Academy of Asia, a sports complex, is within walking distance. Among the many highlights of the place is the Impact Arena where concerts, tournaments and trade fairs are regularly held. A big supermarket is also located nearby the building. Moreover, access and means of transportation to Bangkok and other neighboring towns is not a problem at all.
