It was a Sunday afternoon when we planned to go on a boat trip along Tonle Sap and Mekong River in Phnom Penh. Like what tourists normally do, we rented a boat for 2 hours. At dahil palubog na ang araw noon, we decided to bring some food in the boat. We had 2 crispy patas, 2 large fried rice from Samdoo, chicken, chips and wine. Socialite ang drama! Though we forgot a lot of things, we still managed to enjoy the trip. Besides, it's the company of the people you're with that matters.
The moment we stepped into the boat, we immediately positioned ourselves for pictures. I think we had 3 cameras that time. Smile here, posed there. In two hours, we had to almost finish everything. Fortunately, we ate 1 crispy pata, 1 chicken and the 2 fried rice. We even emptied the 2 bottles of wine.
Landing back in the riverside at around 6:30 and still full, we decided to walk going back to Maans’ car. We put our things and left overs and walked again along Sisowath to grab a drink. Trying to find the cheapest bar, we ended up at Riverhouse where they had free drinks from 7-8pm because it was their anniversary month. Whew! We got ourselves Tiger Beer and 2 winner desserts-- Apple Crumble and Crembolee...YUMMY!! The good thing about these is that, we got it for FREE!!
Imagine how our boat trip was thru http://www.flickr.com/photos/karengrace/

Random Thoughts Version 2
a few learnings from the past weeks......
In Bangkok, it is good to walk when going from one place to another, but be ready to be hit by muscle pains in the legs and ankles. Also, its better to walk in rubber slippers than with a VNC gold flat sandals.
It's always good to speak up, especially when you know that people are taking advantage of you.
And I quote from a friend, in a Celia Rodriguez delivery --" di naman magiging loyal satin ang company kahit na may loyal tayo sa kanila. we need to protect ourselves"
Sometimes, you need to follow your instincts.
Less expectations means less worries.
It's nice to have friends who can laugh and cry with you. But most importantly, he/she sits beside you without saying a word and then look at each other and smile
Filipinas love chilled Red Wine
Girls will always be girls and boys will always be boys
Shopping is indeed a woman's best therapy
It's scary to care for someone, when you don't even know how he/she feels about you. That uncertainty limits what one has/ want to do
It feels better to make a person laugh at you unintentionally--you create a mark in their life
In a relationship (whatever that is), cultural differences really matter.
What completes my day is GOOD food, GOOD laugh and conversation with GOOD friends.
Missing someone/something can be taken in 2 ways--positively or negatively
Always bring a dictionary when you're in a foreign country
Make people happy and you'll soon find your happiness
Planning is a must--but don't expect everything to happen as planned

JOLOGS Moment Again
I am a TV addict and a certified Kapamilya. Good thing they have TFC here at PP, or else I would die of boredom chvanes eklavu. Whenever I get home or got nothing to do and nowhere to go (kasi purita na ang beauty ko), I just lie on my bed and watch TV.
Two Saturdays ago, I wasn’t able to watch PDA since I was in a Jackson mood that time. So I decided to wake up early and watch it the day after. Though I know that Kristoff was expelled, I still want to see it for myself. So around 11am, while cooking rice and adobo, I turned on the TV to the highest level. Para marinig ko hanggang kusina. At yun na nga, the moment of truth came. When the headmaster announced Kristoff’s grade for that night that would put him under probation for the 5th time, everyone just started crying (especially the Global girls). Oh shucks! The next thing I knew, tears were already flowing on my face. Good thing I was alone at the house that time. I cried. YES. Is it embarrassing? Yes it is. Why am I so affected?
First, Kristoff has a close resemblance with Mark Anthony Fernandez (which was my crush during his Gwapings days). Yeah I know you may say YUCK Karen! Eh bakit ba!? Then, even though Kristoff was I think the youngest in the group, throughout his stay in the academy, he showed humility and a positive attitude. After all that he’s been through, which I think eh sobrang nakakadown talga lalo na’t wala ang family nya. Nakakaawa di ba. Hehehe!
That night, they showed their send off party for Kristoff. The best part was when Kristoff’s sister arrived with gifts to everyone. It was very heartwarming and just shows what kind of a family Kristoff has. And that also explains why everyone loves him so much. More so, he was commended by his headmaster because of his attitude that na talaga naming kahanga-hanga.
Ngayong tapos na ang laban ni Kristoff, many people still believe that he would go a long way. And I believe so too. So watch out na lang ako. And maybe another Jologs moment will happen again.
