depends first and foremost on our ability to accept all that is different between us. I want to get closer to you, but let me be who I am. I welcome you coming closer to me, while respecting who you are. -Idan Raichel Ninanais kong mapalapit sa'yo, ngunit hayaan mong ako ay maging ako. Habang ginagalang ko kung sino ka, malugod kong tatanggapin ang pagnanais mong mapalapit sa akin. |

 Great how things sort of fall into place. Like this is my life's plan for the time being... For example, there's a room available next week (that was suppose to be Nick's but he changed his mind) and I got offered temp work by Liz at the agency for reception at a local car dealership in Reading. Also Syreeta (another girl from the agency) said a company looking for dispatch is very interested. So please cross your fingers for me that I get this job because it's good pay and near by! I so need this! I'm pretty excited and very optimistic. I can tell I'm not the same girl from a year ago, because if I look back I would be the sort of person who'd be negative about everything and dwelling on all the problems. Really it's all about choices, responsibility and attitude. I think those are the main foundations of succeeding or accomplishing any dreams because I feel like I've accomplished all my New Year's Resolutions. If you don't remember, they are: -finish school -move to the UK -insist on good treatment -maintain independence -earn more cash/better job (I had to go back to my first entry this year hahah) I didn't exactly finish school, but meh. Four out of five is really good to me! Maybe I'll just go back to school here and finish ;) haha, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment. I really think things are going to work out. BTW I love £2.50 nickers! |

Talking with my mom about going back to the UK, even for just a year to see if I survive there, haha. She thinks it's a good idea but what would I do once I was there? I want to go back to school and I am re-thinking about becoming a vet or a nurse. My dad told me I should go for just a year, to see if I like it and sort out the problems with our property. So I hear Vancouver is quite nice this weekend. I know it is probably hot, but not the same humid hot as Thailand. I suppose that is good as well, even though, I'm use to the tropical weather and air conditioning. And I'm so excited to eat Japanese and Indian again. Bring on the avocado rolls, bring on the paneer! |

However, we jumped on a boat and went up north 45 minutes away from the busy area to one of the islands in Pattaya. It was so beautiful, white sand beaches, tropical trees and so much to do! I went para-sailing, swimming, and road motorcycles. I tried getting a tan but it was so hot, I was hiding in the shade 80% of the time. I did get a little brown but not compared to the red sun-burned tourists that surround me. I also spent time with my Manang Kristine and watched some live bands in pubs like one called Moon River Pub and the Embassy. We saw really good filipino bands that were amazing and accepted requests. I requested Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and the lead singer said, "Here's some Jimi Santos!" and rocked the hell out! I'm so sad that I'm leaving in a couple of days. I've been having a life changing experience here and I don't want it to end. I don't want to come back to Vancouver to just re-live my oh so boring life and work at Vivah. However, it has fueled and re-motivated me to move back to England. I think at the end of the year or next year I will try to just go there for a year and finish my schooling. I still own property there so if my dad would like me to rent it, I have accommodation instead of staying in Nottingham with my sister. By the way I'm getting so sick of rice, noodles and stir-fry. |

It is so humid and hot here, but I have grown use to it. The first few days were unbearable and I was thinking to myself "I really miss back home!" Now I've grown accustom to the culture and the way the people live here. Every day I've had a new experience and a new adventure. I know I will bring so much back with me this time because last time I was only 3. And the people here are the most friendliest and respectful people you will ever meet. They are much more nicer than Filipinos, Canadians (duh), Brits and Americans. In the Thai language there are no bad words, believe it or not. It feels weird being the only white person here. Only when I go to downtown Bangkok or near the old Temples I see other foreigners. But when I'm in the small villages I have people stare at me and some come up to me. They look at the Tattoo on my arm and say "Sue-why!" which means beautiful. I guess they don't see many females with Tattoos, so that's why they are so amazed! Two of my cousins and one of my aunts live here, so each day I've had one of them take me around. I arrived right at the Buddhist new year so I got to see a festival in a small village along the river on day two. They are so religious here, about 90% are Buddhists. I've been on all sorts of transportation like Taxis, Tuk-Tuk, boats, skytrain and bus. I've been amongst the people the whole time and haven't been to many tourist sites. Tomorrow I have to get up really early because I'm going to Pattaya, which is up north. My cousin is currently living and working up there. I'll be going to the beach, so I'm hoping it will be sunny. Either way, sunny or not, it's hot here. Unfortunately I won't be going to Chiang Mai to see the Elephants. The ones I have seen are on the back of trucks being shipped somewhere or the ones working. I feel so sorry for them because they should be free in the wild, not objects. However, the Thai people really do respect them and they are a big deal to their culture. Anyways I should go, I don't have enough time to write all the things I've done. Hope everyone is alright and miss you all. |

I tried finding a door way out so I can see some of Hong Kong and walk around, but there are only indoor smoking lounges and no where to get outside, unless this is your arrival. It is so smoggy, cloudy and humid here. There is a bitter taste in the air and I know (from experience) that Bangkok is going to feel much more heavier and hotter. Soon I'll be on another plane for a couple of hours before I meet up with my Aunt Cappia and Boonsong. I'm so exited to go up north in Thailand to Chiang Mai so I can feed and swim with the Elephants. Take Care. God bless. |

 Well I thought I was leaving tomorrow night, but it has been confirmed that I'm leaving tonight. Sorry I won't be able to make it to skank (to those I asked to come out.) I guess I won't be seeing you before I leave. Fuck, I haven't even started packing yet! So I'm off to Thailand. See ya suckers. |
