<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That word. Even when I was young(er) and I mean, was a kid, I was always fascinated with it. If we talked about fantasies and dreams or imaginations I had way back, I'll tell you straight away that I kinda directed myself being a human with super powers and that'd be completed with -MAGIC.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I never even thought of wealth, those whatever pricey things neither health or positions. It was plainly magic. As with it everything can be different, and I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! There is absolute freedom of making things happen in one's control and without any time restriction at all. It feels so quick, easy and more fulfilling. Whatever one desires regardless for self or others, one can have in just a blink of an eye. One can be wherever one wants to be and change any situation that one fancies more. Isn't that amazing? Of course it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I grow older, magic becomes the tiny little moments, I mean good to great moments that happen not maybe each day but each experience. These are the things that just make my life more beautiful. They colour my world, they bring me smile and for me, they just make living worthwhile. Hmm..wait, I mean magic has more meanings adding to how it is I perceived in the past. "Moments" are the different kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe that is maturity brings though until now I'll contest that believing in magic is a childish thing. If it is, I wish I could still be a child and still believes in the wonders of it. I have to admit though that my true wish is to have a real magic! I know it is weird but that's exactly what I mean. Hmm..it may sound complicated but it's simple. I wish I had a magical power where I can just snap my finger and change things to my likings.....anytime.....anywhere!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Naahh..this should be the effect of watching "Now you see me 2" which is totally impressive. The movie isn't about magic, but TRICK. Should I learn one? And why not? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, I know life is a trick and when it gets tough I just wish we had magic to deal with it and it would be sooooo much better! Oh, now you see me blogging! :D</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had my first visit at Immigration here in Bangkok yesterday and I was glad that all went really smooth. Apart from less people in queue, the system was also simplified making it a bit faster for one to file an extension. I noticed new faces as well taking care of the documents though I have to admit, it's been a while since I've been there. And the best, the officers were more welcoming and friendly despite of them being obviously exhausted and tired. That deserves the commendation -big time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though the office closes at 5pm, getting the queue number ends at 3.30 so if someone plans to do immigration stuff in the afternoon, it is best to get there before the said time. I learnt as well that the govt. complex has new set of free shuttles that send people to the main road. One just needs to exit west as the buses are parked in the area. It's like from the immig door, one must turn right heading to that spacious area, go straight on and turn right again to the very first gate one can find. That gate is the exit. I have no info on the specific schedules but I was done with my business at 4.20 and was able to avail the service. I'm thinking this is a good info and worth the share.<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is essential for me having a cam specially as I love going places and for me memories are worth the keep not just in thoughts but of saving photos. I didn't realize soon that I lost my cam when I had a fun day out with a close friend. Apparently, I lost it not because I used the cam but because I took it out from my bag and never use it. Then, I went on with the things we planned to do of me totally forgeting about it. I can't even tell until now specifically where was the last place I've seen it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Literally a day after and yes, by that evening, I ended looking for my cam as I was preparing for a company Christmas party. By then, I realized I must have lost it in the hotel. Though follow-up calls were made, the results were nothing.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not really that worried on the cam though, I felt loss on the photos I had in the memory card. I had my trips in there most specially my recent visit in Malaysia. I haven't uploaded any of my KL trips so those I really missed. I'm thankful in a way though that I managed to upload my adventure tour photos in Cameron on FB as soon as I got back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It should be Christmas, no cam but then it's another year. It is very strange I'd be a lot more dependent on my mobile cam for now and so far, I have no plans on travelling yet so not sure if it's rational to worry about.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I'm just writing a "lost" which plays a major role in resfreshing my memories. Of things that make me feel good and better at certain moments. And at this moment, I'm just turning the moment instead of gazing photos to clicking fingers - typing. Indeed, a new year. It should be better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To start, it has been ages since I've written. As my life, I think I have been confused and lost direction. Many times I have forced myself to come up with specific plans but I just counldn't and still can't. There were multiple things I wanted to do and to happen but those things that were essential for the desires were never on my side which left me hanging and frankly frustrated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew from the start that I would be in trouble and there are millions of things that I couldn't control.....except myself. From then, I tried to discipline my cognitive abilities to keep my support and not totally feeling down. It was and is the only thing that kept and is keeping me standing still. There were moments that I almost gave up but my mind was telling me that everything will pass and I will be okay, not may be sooner but will be fine by time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever come to a point of just not knowing what to do and where to go? I never thought that I'd be in such a dilemma but for time and I think it's been quite long that I have been feeling that "kink". I never like the situation and for one to take 'steps', one needs to 'know' and of me not knowing what to do, just leaves me desolate. But then, life is beautiful I believe and these 'darks' make it in someway meaningful and prove its beauty. I probably understand that we do in some point have this challenge, I just pray for more strength that I can still handle things and remain firm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'See the bright side, be thankful, be grateful, have faith and believe.' These keep me strong and go on. Focusing on moments also help me feeling a lot better than thinking ahead that never fails to give me nothing but disappointments and distress. It's the best move I can think of and is effective for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And speaking of positivity and focusing on blessings, I'll sum up my 2015 that way! I've finally travelled to Cambodia that I've feared of visiting for years. I had a great time in the many ancient temples though I lost some shoppings along the way. For me, the experience was great, exotic, and worth the memory. Towards the middle of this year, I visited Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam which turned out to be really surprising. The tours I took were excellent and I met very nice people along the way and later this month, I finally saw the biggest flower in the world - Rafflesia in Cameron, Highlands in Malaysia. I also had a quick trip in Vientiane, Laos which again gave me sights of beautiful experiences and meeting new friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those were great, could be of status quo and necessity - I'm still very grateful. Some may be dreaming of travelling to the places but couldn't make it for some reasons. But I did for 2015. I just hope that I can find a full-time job by 2016 and that one I absolutely need.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone sees the good things in bad and hope despite the challenges 2015 gave us, we may have the courage to see the light ahead and next year is going to be awesome. Happy New Year, all. :) <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've enjoyed making my own meals in months now, which is very helpful for me as I can control my intake and I can definitely select what I want to eat specially to being healthy. Most of the time, I stay away from meats and carbs and so to speak, vegetables are the best option. This time, cauliflowers and brocollis.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know cauliflowers and brocollis are really rich in Vitamin C and that I need to include both in my meals once in a while. The problem is, I terribly hate the smell of cauliflower! Yes, the veg is lovely from afar but getting near to is just horrendous. But then, whether I like it or not, I need to get it cooked and finally, taken in.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was glad I made the cook totally smelly-free! I've heard there are many ways, and how did I do it? Simply by just adding chili sauce, Sriracha to be exact and scrambled eggs. I stir-fried the vegetables, then added scrambled eggs while I kept the stir and boom, chili sauce in the end.</div>
<br />

It was certainly both a delicious and nutritious meal! So worry no more on cauliflowers, the smell can be totally removed while keeping the crunch. Here are the photos.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh my god, it's been ten, the tenth!....10th! A decade ago we first flew here in Bangkok with two other friends. We had a great time though.... oh well, I snoozed the whole trip which made me missed the bottomless drink on Thai Airways. Believe me, I didn't even have a glass of water I was so tired I didn't sleep the night before as a result, I had my nap at full length. Not ranting but hmm...time flies, that was ten years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And of course, I thought of celebrating it yesterday, the 5th though I was pretty on my own here in Bangkok. I had a dessert and because I felt it was too much and full of guilt, I had a meal after. Hmm..talking about proper order, dessert then meal! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, 'After You Dessert Cafe' is special. The cafe offers a variety of beautiful ..yes, beau-ti-ful sweets which of course attract a massive crowd. I think, in today's world, the presentation matters and yes, those desserts aren't done easily at home plus yes, they are really mouth watering which everyone would really love to try. As for me, the first bites are heavenly but then who wants a huge dessert? None. We all want a small portion of sweets specially those who are in weight control and the cafe isn't for the kind. It is best to get a serve and have at least two people share it to enjoy the experience otherwise the rest will be in waste. Much as the both the desserts and drinks aren't cheap.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And considering the guilt taking in more sweets than I usually do, I decided to go to my favourite Japanese Restaurant, KOBUNE. I love the restaurant apart from the massive space and nice interior, I also love the quality of the food. And yes, the price. The restaurant despite the luxurious look is very economical and has a complimentary green tea jelly as well. I love green tea and so jellies! :)</div>

Well that's the tenth. Sometimes I get to ask why we do EAT when we celebrate. Or if not eating, drinking. Why? We probably do for a feast and have it shared with the rest, but as I get older I think it is still festive to celebrate any special event alone as long as one is in the crowd. I just did and still got the same fun. The most important thing is there is an occasion which one recognizes as significant and paying attention to it and I mean not letting it pass through is vital. For a celebration is rejoicing and the fruit of REJOICE is JOY whatever and wherever it is. After all, it's one of those once in a lifetime moments we shouldn't miss.<br />

Before any reaction, it's a day more and January is over. Gosh, time really flies fast and this time, I'm kinda not liking it. Not that I'm getting older maybe it's because I am just unsure of what this year brings hahaha. I was pretty certain with things and I'm very accurate in implemeting time frames, but for now, I can't have anything to implement as there's no list to do hahaha.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, months from now will mark my decade here in Th. That is indeed looonnnggggg! I must have enjoyed my stay here or was detoured due to some circumstances. 2015, please be good to me, I don't know what you have ahead but I just trust you. :D</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two weeks ago, I had my first trip of the year. It took long for me to visit Angkor in Cambodia as it was stuck in my head that it was unsafe to visit the place. So, I never had it in my travel plans until I came across some documentaries on Angkor Wat. And there, I decided to finally take the trip on my list months ago.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Angkor, I mean, not just Angkor Wat but all the temples of Angkor. I never expected it would be that huge! I knew the place was big but didn't realize how big it was until I got there. Loved the feeling as well being in Angkor. It was like time travel that I was on a journey hundreds of years ago, most specially of standing and walking in areas where used to be exclusive to the royals. Not that I desire to be one, it's just that it is beyond belief that an ancient megastucture is still present and reachable in this modern time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, my travel was great, loved the silk farm visit of Angkor Artisan and I can guarantee that tuktuk drivers are great and yes, Cambodians speak English well..and yes, better than the Thais.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just didn't like that Nattakan Bus I took. Going there from Bangkok was okay despite the whole day travel but taking the same bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok was a total nightmare! Yes, bus that turned out to be a van as we were told the bus was under repair. It was a hassle changing from a van to the other plus that annoying stop we had at a dirty toilet which after use I was asked to pay about 2,000 Riel! I was irritated of course as it was the dirtiest I had and I wasn't told about it. It's one of the things that I really hate, when I am not told of things I am supposed to know! I felt so being tricked! The amount is not the issue, it is the act which is never acceptable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another instance, we were told to pull out our bags at the border and leave the things as they would take care of our things for us which we would see again right after the immigration. I had two shopping bags, but I opted to bring the other one with me despite the weight (imagine the hassle!). So to speak, the other bag I left which had my shopping of souvenirs such as coffees, crackers and more were GONE - LOST! I asked the person in charge for it and he just didn't know..I was really, really annoyed. To make the matter worst, we spent two hours and a half at the immigration so we finished the stamps at half past two and we didn't even have any lunch! And to think, that supposedly bus trip that turned to van was more expensive. That ended my trip just the worst ever. Not of the destination but the means of going back. So if ever one has plans to visit Siem Reap from Thailand, better take the plane. Bus? NO, never..... just stop thinking about it.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Misa de Gallo is always a part of Catholics and being away from home, it is best to at least be informed on some things that we can do to fully celebrate and experience the true meaning of Christmas, specially here in Bangkok.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are Catholic churches here that do the novena masses and for this year, I concetrate in Mary Help of Christian Church in Krungthep Kreetha. See below the schedule of masses including the Chirstmas Eve celebration. If you can notice, masses are in alternate Thai and English language. No worries though as the homily is shared in two languages, as if it's an English mass, the Homily is in both Thai and English. For those who aren't Thai, an English missalette is provided in Thai mass schedules. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The masses start at 7pm, and last until 8 including the evening novenas. There are also singing presentations from various groups towards the end, the picture taking of all and of course, a simple dinner gathering. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In case you want to to attend mass at Mary Help of Christians Church, you can take bus 145 along Lat Phrao Road and say you get off at Krungthep Kreeta, the bus stop is just right past Four Wings Condo then just walk left after getting off. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're from Ramkhamheng, you can take bus 93 and get off right in front of the church as it makes a left turn from Four Wings condo. Or a Saengthaew 93. You can't miss Four Wings, it is of at least three huge buildings. It's kinda three stops from Lamsalee. Or you can check 'Misang Tagalog' on Facebook for more info.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, I'm sharing some fotos of the past evening masses. I love it there, it is of genuine fellowship.</div>

<br />
I got a call yesterday informing my BBZ10 was ready for pick-up. I was glad after over a month of not having it and to my surprise, I got a BRAND-NEW replacement of the unit.<br />
<br />

Of course, I didn't expect it and I was totally surprised. All I wanted was to have my phone working again. I was told though that in case a problem occurs in the future, I will need to go to a different office somewhere Rama 4. I took a photo of the information just in case, someone else might need this.<br />

I'm definitely happy and satisfied with BlackBerry's service. Perhaps I'm lucky my mobile was under its warranty when it stopped working and with an appropriate response to it plus of me having it not just back, but a brand-new one is great.<br />
<br />
One thing I'm concerned now though is I badly need a new FLIP SHELL as my existing white is broken. It is pricey and there's no way I can buy it here in Thailand. I have been wallking around IT shops looking for BlackBerry Shell or cover and there was nothing. It is my wish to get a new Flip Shell either Red or Black. Need it badly to protect my phone.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took days for me to find this out, I had a problem with my BBZ10 last week. It just stopped working. I couldn't do anything after as it didn't recognize its usb and couldn't be charge either. And to think, my phone wasn't dropped or even got wet, it just died suddenly. I have read forums about the same problem and seems there wasn't a solution to it as everything just collapsed. With the usb and battery on the fritz, sure nothing can be done. I suspect though that the updates might have something to do with it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went to Terminal 21 as I remember there was a BB shop in there near the movie theathers but to my surpise, it was gone. I was glad a very nice man who has a stall next to the area informed me where to get my unit checked. Of course, as long as the phone is still under warranty and was purchased in Thailand. I've also learnt that there's no need for any document warranty as the service center will just scan the unit and find out when the unit was bought. So basically, just go to the authourized service center and bring the unit.</div>

The BB authorised center is called SIS, it is located at the fourth floor of Fortune Tower, fronting Central Rama 9. It is accessible by MRT and get off at Rama 9 station. I went there yesterday and they got my unit. I was told I can get it back after a month as the unit will be sent to Malaysia for checking. That means a month of no phone; however, Fortune Tower is an IT hub, it's easy to get another unit in the area. I got a new one yesterday that I can use in the meantime. To those who have BB problems and is still under warranty, no need to worry, just go to SIS.</div>

OMG, this day isn't a good one, at least later in the morning. I was glad doing my laundry, whites specifically and hanged my clothes dry on the balcony. Maybe I did it a bit quick but in a second I just lost my balance and landed to a steelbar near my shoe rack! To my horror, my face was rubbed into it resulting to an annoying bruise. For now, I'm using vaseline thinking it will keep the bruise from scaring as I am worried about it. Anyone else have thoughts to share how to treat this? My only concern is to prevent scarring. Thanks.<br />

<span class="null"> <br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="null">I take a cab to
work everyday. And every morning, I always learn both different and the
same thing. I dislike it when drivers stay in one lane, at least that cab
driver I am with during the trip. It can save a lot of time when one driver
knows how to maximize the trip and use his “sense” to get the travel
going. I’m not saying recklessly quick, I mean smart fast to get where
the trip is heading safely. Sometimes I wonder why is it so difficult for one
to change gear when obviously a lane is not moving at all and the other is empty. I
honestly don’t mind the meter or the fare that I will have to pay but
the time spent on the road for me is quite essential.<br />
<br />
To
relate to life, I think it’s no different in how we deal with things.
Generally, if one is in a certain place and doesn’t make a move it means
the person isn’t moving - common sense wise. That’s a general knowledge yet I’m not sure how
many of us are completely aware about that. Maybe it’s complacency or maybe it is
just being "naturally" scared of something new, as we all know as being
scared of the unknown but guess it depends on what do we want to achieve
at certain times. Probably, it is when we are in bliss and we just intend to relish where we are regardless how long does it take to last. We surmise there's no point of changing neither moving to something indefinite as there's a possibility of getting ends that could be a bit likely and less desired than the status quo.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span class="null"><br />
The first question would be is, “what do we want?” at least for the time being. Second, "do we have a goal and are we into achieving it?" When we have a goal, we won't find it helpful to be stuck in one place, it's not fine to just sit down and just be happy for the moment that can be multiplied by hundreds. It should be fine if we are happy. It makes sense it is a human instinct
to just stay wherever we are when we are glad, no one wants to get rid
or be away from the situation but I believe we all know that nothing
lasts - none. The challenge of living is the continuous
movements and that means both in ups and downs. When we're happy that doesn’t mean the state shouldn’t change neither if one is in a difficult
situation, one should just stay there. As the calendar changes and the clock
ticks, we, too should keep moving as well, regardless of the outcome, as
again, nothing is permanent. As heard, nothing stays and nothing endures except change. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="null">As the taxi ride, the goal is to get to work, the option to swift lane makes the fulfillment differently faster. </span></div>

April is here and as the other months we all expect that it happens - time does. Whether we like it or not, moment progresses as our lives go on, only we are all in control of the latter not minding us exercising the power in full. There's a slight difference this time though as I'll be visiting home and yeah, in this season. The temperature is getting higher in the past days, I guess....not even days but in recent years however, it's been quite a time since I've been home on lent the reason why I've scheduled the trip this time. I'm not regretting or anything just counting on before the trip.<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm exited as I'll get the chance to fulfill my obligations as a Catholic which I haven't really done for quite a while. On the other side, I'm anticipating the pain of being outdoors due to the weather. I've read though that our body relies on being used to a thing or situation. Since I've been used to stay indoors, I'm aware that the first days will definitely be agonizing. On the contrary, I'm awaiting for the visit to be both pleasant and memorable.<br />
<br />
<br />
It should be fulfilling as I can do the things I've wanted to do and yeah, it feels good to do the same things I used to do after ages. Apart from religious rituals, I'm looking forward to go "beachin'". There's no other time better than summer plus I'm going to have fun with my family and very close friends.<br /><br />There's nothing more I can think of, I only feel a thing at this point in time and that I'm excited. :)Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-76983518835270409412014-01-14T09:01:00.001+07:002014-01-14T09:09:55.541+07:00Adjustment CrampsI've thought of writing after ages. We're not reporting to work this week due to protest, though we work at home for lessons, I have to spend time waiting for my videos to upload which give me the chance to write. I had full plates in the past years, of both personal and work. I had to start over in many ways and in fact, just recently, I've bought a new laptop and a smart phone that remind me of the pain of learning and adjusting to something new. In an instant, I thought of regardless of one wanting a new phase, or disliking it at all, inconveniences are still in the mixture. It was funny though how I dealt with these gadgets that at some point I thought of myself being a bit "stupid". Reading manuals was used to be my thing, but nowadays, I think searching for youtube vids is better. Only to think that in the end, specially with smartphone that tutorials are actually in the phone hahaha. :D<br />
<br />
Anyway, my touch-screen fancy has hit me right in the face, as of course the trend is handy and perhaps more comfortable but of having different brands are confusing at times. My work computer is not touch-screen, my personal one is and so my mobile. Though both my personal gadgets are touch-screen however they don't have similar commands so I get confused at times. Perhaps because I've just bought them, I might need more time to master playing with both. I'm actually in the stage of adjustment which we all find a bit of tedious.<br />
<br />
These are no different to life, I think. Having a new chapter isn't easy though we know it's for the better. I just set to mind that there's no point hanging out with past as there are more things to look forward to in the future. The only difference between past and future is that, we are completely aware of what the past is while the future is still set to experience. I really believe the latter is more interesting and that I have all the reasons to be excited about. Just one sure thing to make it work is to plan and set goals. In case, it won't work, there is always a second chance and the option to go on or just leave things away. <br /><br />As for the gadgets, no, I can't can't just let go, there should be solutions around and whatever part doesn't work should properly function. On the other hand, I've just changed my mind - they're not the same after all. :)Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-1468716593332307312013-07-06T00:48:00.001+07:002013-07-06T00:48:30.439+07:00Happiness is a Bunch<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have had series of "what-is-happiness" encounters in the past days. Many were inspiring in a way how to have a different perspective on what "happiness" is. Of course there is this ATTITUDE thing that matters and so how does it affect one to be happy. I don't oppose that fact ; however, I believe that there are more to that. Recognizing and accepting that moments can vary help in a way how we see things in life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, happiness is not a permanent thing neither a vast emotional state the dominates the whole being. Being happy all the time is never normal as it is natural to have setbacks from time to time. As humans, we respond to the nature of situations that we deal with. We never rejoice when we are in trouble neither when we are hurt or in pain. We embrace the beauty of these harsh realities and live with life. But when we become aware that these are never in permanent phase and state, just as joy and contentment that come in their time, then we can live better and can welcome more bliss and cheer . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we are in the right attitude and mindset that our existence is a blend of all the wonders and woes then we get more chances of enjoying what happiness really is. Being happy is definitely both a disposition and a feeling and so the recognition and understanding its nature. It is a cluster of moments that we dwell upon and finally accepting that it is a sequence of gloom.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, it’s Wednesday. As my regular Weds I got up at 6 had a shower, got dressed and waited for a cab to work. I
haven’t taken the bus ride to work since this year started. I just think that
my days start better when I can breathe and relax on my way to work. Not that
I hate taking the bus it’s just being in a crowded situation doesn’t give me
peace at all. There are more to see if one is exposed to more people in the
morning which totally the opposite of what I prefer which is at least being
alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After a few minutes of waiting the taxi
came and as usual I told the driver to send me to my university. I enjoyed the
ride today, the driver was a lot smarter than yesterday. Why? oh well, yesterday
was pretty annoying the driver was so religious staying on the second lane! There
were a couple of chances for him to change lane as it would get us faster to
where we were heading but he was just so inclined to a single lane. Anyway, I
don’t want to talk about him, the driver today was a lot better. As we were
approaching near my university, I checked whether my fave coffee stall was already
opened. I always ask the taxi driver to stop me to the coffee stall. Unless I
get to work too early and the woman hasn't opened her stall yet then I get off
right in front of the university gate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was about to tell the driver to stop when he said, “ Yes, you have to get off
here for coffee.” I was surprised! I had no clue he was going to tell me that
and so he could remember me! It made me smile and from that moment I recalled
that yes, for once or twice that I have taken the same cab to work….I mean to
the coffee stall.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I think my Friday will be fine. An early
morning smile is a great start compared to some inconveniences that we may
encounter at times. I had a quick ride to work, sipped my freshly brewed
coffee, had breakfast and yes, had my two slices of papaya! Wednesdays always
treat me well, probably that’s why it is my favorite day! I just love
Wednesdays!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">Never expected to have a sequel of
yesterday it’s a bit funny that I’ll be writing on the same subject today. I
was woken up by the rain, it was raining hard early </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">just minutes before my alarm rang (yes, I woke
up before the buzz </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">hahaha). It took me
ten minutes to finally get out of bed then had my shower. Got dressed and went out. It was calm and peaceful waking outside of my street heading towards the main road. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">I
was just a few steps away from the intersection when I heard a voice. I looked
up and there was the taxi parked at the corner. The door opened and the driver
said something in Thai. Oh my gosh, he was the same driver I talked about
yesterday and it was do amazing that he told me before I got on that he could remember
me perfectly well as “jam dai” in Thai language.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I remained quiet though the entire trip I
knew the ride would be great he is such a good driver and yes there was no need
to tell him that he should stop right at my favorite coffee stall. I had my
breakfast , coffee and a good ride today, all of the same stuff I had early
morning yesterday just a different day. Nonetheless, I don’t want to say I love

It's been awhile since I've written in here. 2012 didn't start right for me, even 2011 was cruel I should say. Nonetheless guess this year ends with a bang as I'm writing this very moment in my home in Cebu. Yes, I've finally spent Christmas and New Year here after six years! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
I was of course delighted to make it this time, nothing beats spending time with loved ones in times like this and truly that's the meaning of the season. At least for me. Though my time here is limited as I'm back to work in days or so at least I'm savoring the moment as this is important to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I wonder what 2013 will bring but as often heard, it's a new start, of writing another chapter of our lives the reason why it is called ---New Year. :)<br />
<br />
Happy New Year to everyone and as the name speaks, hope 2013 is a year of more happiness and joy to all. :)Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-53906702341112285782012-05-10T16:02:00.001+07:002012-05-10T16:05:02.095+07:00Eventful but still passive<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a holiday yesterday but I spent my time preparing for my lessons. Sometimes the lessons themselves are not hard to do but simplifying them to be understood fast and make them comprehensible as possible is tasky. The photo editing fun was a good break, at least I could breathe from time to time. I didn't know why but later in the evening I had a hard time sleeping. It took long for me to finally sleep after countless getting on and out of bed. And as I can remember, there was a sound I assumed a cockroach walking on the floor last night until it reached the paper bag which I eventually stamped on intentionally killing the cockroach as I thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was shocked this morning to find out it was a lizard! I felt so sorry and really had a heavy heart in an instant. I really think lizards are good companions and of me killing one isn't cool. Nonetheless, my day went through preparing for more stuff for today's class.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I left my home earlier and took the taxi ride. I was three minutes away from the venue when I got a call that the class today had to be posponed due to some circumstances. No definite schedule yet but anytime next week depending on the availability of the learners. In an instant, I had no choice but to turn back and headed to the BTS Skytrain. I thought it should be a good idea then to at least join the cooking class that I really like somewhere in Sukhumvit today anyway I still had the time. As I came nearer to the train station the traffic was just the worst seemed the vehicles weren't moving. I got tired and when I finally reached the station I decided to just get myself a glass of iced cold lemon tea and some yamazaki bread. Then headed home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The traffic jam was still bad though heading home but at least despite the heat and with just a little more patience, I could take a rest and relax. I deserve both. And now, I have just written something. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today should be eventful for nothing, as nothing is accomplished as no output to mention. I had a lot I think and I've been through some ggggrrrss, no worries though I've always maintained 'calmness and poise" ;) regardless but then yeah, this Thursday has to go on. I should take a nap after this.</div>Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-69819313233926644602012-04-26T00:47:00.000+07:002012-04-26T00:53:06.860+07:00Notable day<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, finally I have the chance to write and something to write about. This is a special day as such remarkable things are worth the memory. It's not that there are no happenings in some other days, it is just that beautiful firsts have happened today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is my first to spend time with my students. I declined invites before on meetings or any gatherings after classes. For time, work reasons and some other to mention. However, I had the time today and it so happened there was an event to celebrate, I thought it was worth to join and be part of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was impressed how gentle my students were during dinner. Of them putting the food on my plate was very surprising. It should be natural for someone special to do the thing for me but of these men in the military is really remarkable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seafood restaurant is really far from my place, in fact I got to the venue in two hours and I was really late. However, it was meaningful as much as it was my first time also to eat a strange seafood. Many call it kinda weird Thai seafood and frankly, we never have the kind in the Philippines despite the fact that my country is surrounded with sea waters. This is actually called horseshoe crab, it's "Maeng da Talay" in Thai and the translation in English is "pimp sea/ocean". It didn't taste bad, neither good for me but at least I have tried it. I ate it with spicy mango salad as I was told and it was fine. It has a distinct strong taste and smell and I felt like eating lots of small eggs. I have no problem with it though but I won't try eating any horseshoe crab next time. I don't know I can't get rid of the thought of it being a bit similar to the predator's face...hehehehe.</div>

On the other hand, I find this strange plant also in the restaurant, it's bizarre I can't call this bonsai or the like, the leaves for sure aren't normal. </div>

See? Today is really an extraordinary day or you may call it a night hahaha. ;))</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was excited today, it has been days since I looked forward to this day as finally, I can attend the Holy Mass. For info, it's the Thai New Year that's so called -Songkran and so it's a long holiday in the Kingdom. Last night was one of my greatest moods I spent hours "youtubing" listening to music I used to hear. I felt so elated singing with the melodies until I noticed that it was about two in the morning. As a result, I woke up late today, yes at nine. It was late as the mass schedule was at ten thirty and that meant I had limited time to prepare. Simply amazing, excited but late. Hahaha.!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But nope, I wasn't and I AM very thankful. I got to Saint John's at exactly half past ten and fortunately, the Thai Mass has just finished so then there was a need to take time to prepare for the English Mass. It started at exactly eleven o'clock.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love the Gospel, it speaks of FAITH and BELIEVING. It is for us to stop pursuing our OWN personal beliefs but to BELIEVE instead that Jesus Christ is here. He was dead and He came back to life. The readings were the proof of His life after death when He appeared to His disciples and how doubting Thomas was changed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I noted what father reiterated in the Homily. And that we all LIVE with WOUNDS. As Jesus showed his wounds and let doubting Thomas touched them. We live with wounds both inside and outside us. And this does not limit to ourselves but we do live with wounds as well of the people we care for and those around us. But despite that fact, we shouldn't forget that it is the beauty of life and that we must realize what is it within us that gives more meaning to this life. Sure, the people around us contribute to the joys and meanings of our existence however if we learn to focus on our inner lights and seek happiness from within then we can value life's deeper meaning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">LIVING is dealing. We never deal with anything dead or gone. We interact with those who are alive, and so God is within us and He is alive. That fact we must not forget. He died but He came back to life and so He is alive. We have to deal with Him and so our very OWN LIVES as we are all alive.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I was so blessed hearing the good words and again, I'm so grateful making it to the church today. I headed to The Mall after for meal. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to have my breakfast in the morning that made me really hungry after the mass, The Mall was the best place to go. I did first my grocery then headed to my favorite steak restaurant. The queue was long and it took quite a time to have the orders served. To make it short, I had my meal at exactly two in the afternoon. I missed both breakfast and lunch today which I'm no surprise, I'm terribly in migraine agony this moment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nonetheless, I'm happy .</div>Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-88231712486800461562012-03-10T22:44:00.000+07:002012-03-10T22:44:21.009+07:00Kirin Restaurant in Ekamai<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I had a good sleep but strange I felt like I was totally conscious all night! I wasn't tired though I just felt that I was awake. I never had this experience ever and I just find this odd. Anyway, I went to work today and as usual I did look for slices of papaya for breakfast but there was nothing available at Tesco. I ended up having spicy chicken in basil leaves and coffee. Classes went okay, except that one of my students got a bit impatient with himself. I always ask my students to redo their work when they don't get it right, that's how I stretch my patience and I have a strict rule, as when one can't finish the task then the student can't take any break or can't go home yet. I never want them to leave the room with anything unfinished except in some special cases.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Going back to my student, I was surprised he cried during break time. He wasn't the last one to finish the activity, in fact, there were two other students who weren't done after he completed his work. I heard he got worried on his performance and I told him it was okay. He went back to the classroom still in tears but I ignored the situation and just went on with the oral practices. Glad he did participate and he did well. He felt a lot better when I asked the class to guess the correct answer and he did get it right. I heard the "yeeehheyy" and the tears were all gone. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, that's how we deal with kids, it's challenging but we have to impose discipline and guide them well. We cannot deny that they have their respective characters and attitudes perhaps genetics and how they are raised but these things are reparable for them to make things right. It was just heart crushing when we were about to finish the class he said "Teacher, I'm sorry." The sound of it, it's a music for a kid saying the word but honestly there was no reason for him to say so. He didn't misbehave, I knew he was disappointed with himself, he just have to deal with the fact that sometimes things go wrong, and there's no need to worry as he can always make things right with time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I went to Kirin Restaurant in Ekamai after work. I actually purchased a voucher from Ensogo and that voucher is expiring soon so I decided to use it today. Funny, I've never been to Park Lane, from work it took me over an hour to get there plus a few minute walk from BTS Ekamai. I saw the signage and couldn't locate the restaurant. I asked some staff in some other restaurants down there and they said they didn't know where Kirin was. I was surprised! I went near the signage again and goodness it took awhile for me to realize that the restaurant is on the second floor! Hahaha, there! At last, I went inside, presented my voucher and had my "huge" order. I should say it was a GUILTY meal at least for me! I had too much food and the servings were dense. It was a great experience and I think the restaurant is worth the visit anytime. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">After the meal I walked back to BTS Ekamai, went past Bourbon restaurant and saw some peeps having dinner in there. I thought one person inside resembled someone I know, it just took seconds to see the face, I was aware the man looked back but again, I thought there was no need to thoroughly check or confirm if the person was someone I really know or just a familiar face, after all, I didn't want to see the face of that person at least for now.( Shrugging my shoulders.)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I took the bus, it was crowded and later a woman offered if she could help me carry my bag. She said she noticed my arm was already red with the marks of my bag's straps. I was thankful but told her it was natural for me to get rashes even by just holding something. I showed her my palm that was all red by just taking a grip on the bus. I thought she was really nice, I offer the same help to some other passengers who are in need. If you're in Bangkok be not surprised when a man won't offer any set, nor help you carry with your stuff in a bus, you usually get simple kindness from women themselves.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Finally, going back to Kirin hehehe.....here are the fotos. :)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I woke up with a stomach ache today and in a second I was worried as this was a big day for me. I had a schedule later in the afternoon and that I needed to project and do my best for it. I managed to get out, it was pretty hot today I was sweating I could feel my back was soak. I went to Union Mall for lunch and took the time to relax.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's kinda amazing seems the people I met awhile back were all nice. It's rare to see strangers smiling at you here in Thailand but I got lots of them today. I noticed though that they aren't Thai. Anyway, I headed to my appointment and I was fascinated on the kindness the people shared. Seems the people in the place are happy and contented with what they are doing. I could feel the warmth and the joy deep inside their hearts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did my work well, I was satisfied how I delivered my task despite my stomach ache. I went to Central Lat Phrao after to reward myself for a job well done. Sets of earrings from Forever 21. :) I had Krispy Kreme sprinkles by the evening and it caused my migraine attack tonight I suspect. Nonetheless, this has been a great day, just pleasing. ;)</div>Teetatea Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14203029592197717757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744657988758392973.post-51651882104126168942012-02-24T12:26:00.003+07:002012-02-24T12:51:04.148+07:00MBA<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks God I'm feeling better now, the past two weeks have been very hard for me being sick, last Thursday was my first experience to be totally ill and this week's Monday was the first ever as well of me not being able to say anything. I got laryngitis as the effect of the FLU I got last week, my voice was lost and it was worse having a hard cough at the same time. Oh, well at least I am a bit better now though still struggling with cough.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today is a no-meat-Friday for Catholics. I started this day with pineapple juice, fresh brewed coffee and wheat toasts. I might have that meal only for today I don't have plans yet to go out of my room. I haven't fully recovered yet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My laptop is my best friend as despite the situation I can deal with it without worrying at all, and the sickness doesn't stop me from reading, interacting and learning things from time to time. I've had had a few discoveries in the past days. I have learnt enough and I realized better things so to speak. For now, I still have a lot of questions in my head why some things happen and why do some people are far worse than one could imagine. I looked into myself and suddenly I felt there is this something that I want to accomplish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a feeling of inadequacy and I am getting another ambition. Why do I desire to get an MBA? I love teaching, I'm good at it. I fantasize exquisite cooking, baking, gardening and some other stuff working on my senses at the same time there is this longing of me of getting back to school.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What has been happening with my life isn't really favorable, I cannot deny the frustration. I plan well, I know I do unfortunately some things didn't get well as I designed not as the result of my actions but of the people around who made some of them a failure. I'm not passing blame it is just is. Believing is a good thing and I have just proven that sometimes we tend to believe the wrong persons. We commit mistakes due to believing, having a bad judgment despite having good reasons, intentions and motivations do not guarantee good results or even the fulfillment of one's goal. It's like investing and being happy about it only to find out that the one you've been invested in has been nothing else but FRAUD from the very beginning.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I still have to reclaim my goals, make another plans, for now I want to move forward, get better education if this means going back home to start fresh I should be ready and willing to take a step soonest. Yes, MBA. I mean it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today is the first day of Lent which is called ASH WEDNESDAY. Christians, primarily Catholics go to Church and have our forehead marked cross with ashes. This reminds us that we are from dust and so we end up being one. Humility as we say. This is not a ritual neither a made-up activity for the believers. This is based on the old testament that reminds Christians of the values instilled by faith. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what do we do in the season of Lent? We do FASTING as abstaining from eating meat on Fridays though some have other sacrifices being pledged for the season. And not just that, this is the time to focus on PRAYING and ALMSGIVING. We believe in sacrifices, selfless actions and so helping the needy. These are the basic values we learn as well as praying for our heart's desires. Though of course we do pray and share our blessings every time, we made this season of Lent recognizing the three practices. More info on the video below. </div><br />
