Teaching English

Teaching English as a Second Language to a foreign country is somewhat hard and difficult especially if you really not a teacher by profession. I didn't know I can teach and I didn't have an idea on how and where to start until I met the students. I felt so awkward when I first saw them and I knew that they felt the same way too. Since English is just their Second Language, my first few weeks were very tough. It was like passing through the eye of a needle. There were times that I want to give up and even told myself that I am not going to stand this kind of scenario for it was far different from what I...

Experiencing Thailand

When my brother went home in the Philippines to have his annual visit, he asked me to go with him and take sometime to experience Thailand (The land of Smiles) . On May 3, 2010 at 11:45 PM, we left our homeland and arrived at the Suvarnabhumi Airport on a Tuesday morning at exactly 4:00 o'clock (mind you, the airport's size is double than what we have back home) and since it was the time when the Red shirts were active and very much aggressive, it was not safe to go out so we decided to stay inside the airport and ended up taking a li'l nap on the airports' lounge.   The Metropolis  Then, just before the sun rises, we found ourselves...

Sawadee Ka, Thailand

It was May 03,2010 when i left the Philippines and try my luck here in Thailand, shempre tulad ng marami as a tourist lang ako and there's no assurance kung anong mangyayari saken dito, kung magkaka trabaho ba o uuwing bagsak ang mga balikat dahil sa walang napala dito. It was hard kasi mataas ang kumpetensya lalo na sa pag-a apply as a Teacher... (to think na di naman talaga ako Teacher) I almost cried nung mga time na wala akong work at tumambay lang buong maghapon sa bahay ng kapatid ko at maging isang palamunin.Alam ko naman na naiintindihan ako ng kapatid ko at ng mga taong tumulong saken pero shempre iba parin kung meron...

Laos for a Night

If you have plans of staying longer (approximately 1 month or more) in Thailand or if you've got an offer to work in The Kingdom, you need to have an exit or process your working permit in Laos.  Laos and Thailand are separated by the Mekong River (7th longest river in Asia) that runs through Burma, Cambodia, China, Thailand and Vietnam; making  Laos the only landlocked country in Southeast Asia. Vientiane, (City of Sandalwood) the capital and the economic center of Laos is not that big. At the heart of the city, you can see the Patuxai Park, one of the country's main attraction and their version of the Arc de Triomphe or Triumphal...

Love Story

My current boyfriend was trying to mend a broken heart (obviously from a broken relationship, LOL) when we met. I too, had a boyfriend that time. Anyhow,  I seldom see my current boyfriend because he was just visiting our place once in a blue moon or better yet, every school vacation. We were not fully acquainted with each other so technically, we're are not that close. He was my friend's cousin and only knew each other by name, nothing more, nothing less.. We were given a chance to get to know each other deeper after a couple of  years!  He was a really good talker and with his little chit chat, everything fell into oblivion...

A Taste of Baguio

Hola! As I am scrolling down some of my pictures last year, it made me think about one of the most unforgettable journey experience I had;  Hmmm... My 3 days vacation in Baguio, known as The City of Pines in the Philippines, obviously because there's a lot of pines there =) It was a Friday night when my cousin asked me to go with her, and since its a week end, I said YES!!! I rushed and went to their place after a hard days work from the office. We supposed to travel that night but then something came up and we ended up sitting on a couch for our Tequila Session = ) The following day, Saturday at about 10 in the morning, we all packed...
