From August 28 to 31 With college friends (Hannah and Jocelyn) and friend from work (Jonna). Our first time to travel out of the country! And first time in Beijing! Expectations exceeded. It's a clean city. A little colder than Manila and a lot better (yikes!). The only downside.. no social networking sites allowed! Facebook was banned! FB banned! FB... dang! Sayang :) Went to Bird's Nest although no pix here since i ran out of camera bat.. waiting for Hannah and Jocelyn's memory card. But I like the place. Huge! I just hope they get to use it for something [View Full Entry]

It was a fun-filled morning @ Lago De Oro! I enjoyed kneeboarding a lot! I'll go back definitely and this time, I'll try wakeboarding (kneeboarding is for beginners). [View Full Entry]

I've been to KL several times. I've never enjoyed it before and I didn't enjoy the place this time. Although, this trip, I was able to finally go up the Petronas Tower, which, btw, was nothing special. One noteworthy thing, it's really cheap to stay in Concorde Hotel and it's a very nice hotel for me. [View Full Entry]

Prior to visiting Bali, I had paradise in mind.... great beach, great sight, great vacay location....NOT! It was not close to being a paradise! It must be the opposite of paradise. There was too much traffic, not much to see, annoying people on the beach and the beach(es) - not good for swimming! I will never go back. That was too much disappointing. I'd rather go to Philippine's Boracay. Man, Boracay is 100 times better than Bali! [View Full Entry]

Back in Bangkok in 3 months time! With family this time around :) Finally, I was able to go to the Floating Market - far but worth it! It was too scary to eat the food... dirty I think - yikes! Went to Ayutthaya also... far and not worth it. Visit Grand Palace instead, which is just within the city. I love Platinum Mall! The best... nice stuffs and cheap too! [View Full Entry]

Oct. 17 to 21 with family. It was hard to communicate with the Vietnamese! About 90% of them couldn't speak or understand English! So be guided by the following: -> Thank you - cam on -> How much - baw new -> Expensive - makwa -> Waitress - emoy -> Hello - xin chao -> Go straight - di thang -> Right - fai -> Left - sai It's a good shopping place, especially Ben Than market. My advice: haggle! Use the word 'makwa' a lot! And if you are given a certain price, offer 75% off and work your way [View Full Entry]
