REP - Siem Reap

Our flight is scheduled later tonight and we agreed to meet in the airport few hours before. I was a bit early I guess cause I had to wait around to meet them.

After boarding, we still have an hour or so of waiting, we ate our meal.. take outs from Jollibee and the coffee! yey! I need a kick for today, I wasn't able to sleep much with all the cramming and packing! *bad habit*

We arrived in Siem Reap later that night and still didn't know what to expect. We have booked our reservations in a bed & breakfast in Siem Reap named Bou Savy Guesthouse. It is relatively cheap and looks nice based on the review made by a blogger (SoloFlighted). 

Touchdown!

Photos on our way out to the terminal. Having a hard time taking pictures of ourselves a nice tourist came by and asked me if I wanted him to take a picture for us! That's so nice of him and that's so lucky for us! He took the photo on the upper right corner above. hehe. Thank You Mister! 

We were fetched by the owner with his car, explaining that there's currently a party back in the guesthouse for their Tuk-tuk drivers and no one is available but him to come for us. By the way, we were with another foreigner and the unlikely incident happened. Guess he didn't mind so much that we can understand English you know. He commented on a French bread with butter added with sugar being done in the Philippines and saying it tasted so awful! That was his term 'awful'! Oh well, we just brushed it off after darting him the 'Look'! Lol. I think he noticed because he looked back and sort of pushed back to his seat realizing maybe we came from the Philippines and it's such a tactless comment. We took no offense though it's just annoying a bit and certainly funny. And from then on, we named him "awful" with the same facial expression he had on while saying it! So, when we see him around, we'll look at each other and mouth "ayan na naman si "awful"!"  plus the sour face! =D

Arriving in the guesthouse, there were quite a lot of guests trying to check in and we are at lost what to do next being left in the corner with our things while watching the other tourists signing to check in. Then finally, the owner came to us and asked someone to assist us to our room. Whew! no need to sign and all the hassles! And then I was being teased again for having been assisted with my suitcase! While Ralei was just in front of me the mister turned and came for my suitcase instead leaving Ralei in shock of being bypassed. 

Laughing our way up three flights. Oh the stairs! Thanks for the assistance. Lol.

The room was nice, not so fancy and simply kept. Neat and small not bad for a relatively cheap price.

Actually, I reserved for the fanned room only but they gave us the air conditioned one for the same price. Really, aren't we just lucky? lol. 

And after we settled, ate a little bit and shower, dead tired, we head for bed excited for tomorrow's exploring! Can't hardly wait~

Boracay once more...

The purpose of this out of town is to unwind and to celebrate Aya's 23rd birthday. After dinner last night we get on with the packing.. Same old, same old me. Cramming to pack everything! Alas! Ate and Aya shared a suitcase and I have my suitcase all to myself but still I excess-ed more than a kilo! Overpacking? But it feels like I just dumped in just enough clothing to last for four days. I don't understand.. Few dresses, tops and bottoms, bathing suits, toiletries, that's all in it and the VSassoon iron I love dearly! *puzzled* Anyway, I finished packing just in time to have something to eat before leaving for our sooo early flight! 5 am and we're already waiting to board. We had a double shot espresso while waiting to be able to keep up. Not many people were to fly to Boracay this time of the year and I like it!!! I feel that this trip will be fun and awesome! We had nothing planned to do but splurge and enjoy our whole stay in the islands. Celebrate Aya's birthday and laze around by the shore, by the beach and in the room. Er. what wasn't good is the not-so-feeling-well feeling that could turn out to be a full blown colds! Not a good sign at all.. but who cares! I bid to enjoy every bits of this trip and I won't let some virus to go in the way.

딸기 밤 (strawberry night!)

Before going back, we dropped by the grocery around the corner and bought drinks and food for our night session. We asked oppa to order some jjajjangmyeon for tonight’s dinner. Exactly the one that we saw in Korean drama’s being delivered with side dishes! The black noodles!

The delivery came in and it’s time to start the night!!!! We had two bottles of soju for the unnideul and two bottles of cass for me and Ate Heidz plus the pretty strawberries!! What else do we need? We have food, drinks, and good company. ^_^

We ate, watched TV, drank and fool around. Lots of laugh and kinky stunts to be kept and left in Busan! but I must say, nothing wild.

Well, something more than the norms that we did?? Hmm.. Ran around the streets to the grocery to buy some more CASS!!! No tights, no coats! Just plain clothes, shoes and a regular jacket, it was fun! Then we bought something like a Japanese cake, but with chestnut in the inside instead of cheese. We were curious that’s why we buy some and after we buy a lot of people came buying! Nice one on that. Then we ran again, bottles of Cass inside our jackets and the warm chestnut thingy we bought. adrenaline and tipsy-ness it is!

Up for the second round..

After a while, Ate Heidz and I went out for a walk and check out the streets at night! It was a busy night.. lots of people outside on a weekend! Stalls all around the strip, food, clothes, stuffed toys, and one of the strips lined with tarot cards readers (fortune telling stuffs), then pubs with blasting sounds all over the place, tents like those in the dramas, and suleul jib.

We walked fondly around in the winter night in the crowd. Then I suddenly wanted a nice photo with Ate Heidz, and here goes me again, approaching a stranger to take our picture. Lol. We bump into this nice looking guy so I did what I do best, ask to have our photo taken.. I asked him in Korean and he looked like in shock and not sure what to do. Unconsciously, I had already put my camera in his right hand without waiting for his response. (waaah!! now that I think about it, it is quite embarrassing!) He looks funny with that reaction of not knowing what to do and it was nice of him to still take our photo and not run away. 

After a while of walking, we went back to our room to get some money and ask our eonni to join us out! It is a pleasant night, Jo-unni is busy drying clothes so she didn’t bother to come, while Karen-unni came with us for the walk! And off we go again!

Karen-unni and I bought some chicken barbeque. Yum! Ajhuma complimented may speaking skills, she thought I live in Korea too.. hihi..*blushing* fine! I was flattered! ^.^

We dropped by tous les jour, cause I craved for a cheesecake. Yay! Good thing shops were still open til late night! Super like! And that’s when we end our day. We went back to our room and behave because tomorrow we’ll need to be up early to catch the morning bus to Suncheon, however, Jo-unni will be leaving earlier to catch the train back to Seoul to meet her sister.

after four years!

After Saturday drinking, without any sleep, I went with mommy and daddy to NAIA to fetch Tita Den. After four long years from her last visit, she finally decided to come back. This time not for holidays but for Lolo. I saw the terminal of airport taxis and took interest on it. lol. It looks cute. Numbers of it parked and everything in uniform. I like it! haha.

 what if we can't have Cars of our preference?? lol.

 Tita left / forgot almost everything

 but definitely...

NOT MY JELLY BEANS!!!!!

'til we see each other again Kurtie..

2011, June 3rd.. Kurt's scheduled flight to the US of A.

I know people come and go.. However, goodbyes are really sad, it leaves me speechless. er..
As we bid our farewells the last time in the airport, everybody knows everything won't be the same again. Some things were left undone, some things were left for new beginnings, and everything else were altered for what may have become. Even so, everybody is hopeful for the next time we'll see each other again!

♥Dedicated to Kurt Gulmatico from Sharrie Casala♥

Bon voyage Kurt! we'll look out for Sharrie back here!
Au revoir for now and see you again for later.. ^_^
