meron akong sharing
alam niyo ba, ewan ko ba naman sakin. i can honestly say i’ve been a living testimony para Sa Kanya since 1997 nung namulat ako sa katotohanan (consequently - yun yung nag YLSS ako - thanks Jing!) yun nga lang - nag 2006 - nagulo mundo ko.
anyways, when i found out that i had to register at poea before leaving the country, i was just about ready to give up. nakakapagod kaya magasikaso ng mga ganyan - then comes the government officials. argh batu-bato sa langit - i know some peeps i went to college with are instructors in devcom blah blah - guys di kayo yun 
alam ko naman na i don’t have to work here in thailand. wouldn’t it be better if i just stay home and be with my family. i even told my dad magkakatulong na lang ako sa bahay. hehe. si cherie nga ngiting ngiti nung nalaman na ayoco na bumalik.
anyways after much thought and many convos with papa (surprisingly siya and nag encourage this time to go back), tita mabec and emails from my boss and haydee… i decided to just get on the plane without registering. hello di biro yung 10T na registration fee. DUH! ayus ayos nga Pilipinas!
ofcourse i told everyone to pray for me.
on the way to the airport and during my weeping breaks (hehe - ang baduy ko… iyak ako ng iyak) i prayed hard to Him to help me. help me get on that plane and help me not to miss everybody so much. ayoco tlga mag sinungaling (my script was “i am a freelance writer doing some research…”) just in case magtanong yung immigration officer.
He heard me. Immigration was a breeze and I even got to be treated like a first class passenger coz I saw the Arenas family (whose house I occasionally crash at when I’m in Bangkok) who had friends in high places.
Also on the way to the ATM I kept praying na sana binayaran na ako for my half month of December. My boss and I had a deal na leave without pay ako since super haba tlga ng bakasyon ko. Guys, guess what - they paid me in full. Goodness! I was so surprised and at the same time embarrassed! This was the company that I almost dissed just because tinatamad ako magpunta sa POEA. Grabe na feel ko talaga na love nila ako. Sana walang bawian. Haha!
These are answered prayers at its best. So guys don’t lose hope. He really is there! I admit minsan especially last year I found myself thinking na baka hindi totoo PERO here it is again - a living testimony of His love, mercy and care. Saya noh? Praise GOD! Nakikinig Siya.

— just in case di mo matanggap sa msgs mo sa friendster:
oi oi rhia,
baiyoke is okay. we stayed there before ni francis. it’s nice plus its in pratunam so malapit sa shopping. baiyoke also has this revolving deck and its got a nice view there. picture picture!
you should dedicate one day to go site seeing sa mga temples and the grand palace.
make sure to go to the HUGE reclining buddha!
then go to kho san road - ito yung backpackers delight. super mafee-feel mo na tourist ka.
for clothes shopping head on to platinum mall, sa pratunam din yan malapit sa baiyoke, tapat ng amari hotel. pag bumili ka ng 3 pieces super bagsak presyo. from 600 magiging 300 na lang pero dapat 3. then there’s the weekend market or CHATUCHAK - masaya din yun, just take the BTS (MRT counterpart).
for electronics punta ka sa panthip - tabi lang yun ng platinum mall.
for high end shopping take the BTS and go to siam paragon, siam square… uhm siguro window shopping lang unless may mga milyones kayo. hehe.
for gimmicks every corner may bar pero check out Bed Supper Club and Q Bar in Soi 11.
kailan ba dating niyo? mas alam ni Lovely actually ang Bkk. she lives there afterall.
pasama kayo kay Lovely!!! Kilala mo naman siya right?
ok keep in touch!
