tinawagan ko na si nong, yung friend ni prasong.
sabi ko dating ka ng 5 pm sa bangkok,
pero gusto nya, tawagan daw sya pagdating mo.
sabi ko kasi 11pm pa ako darating and late na for him.
tapos naputol kami, and nang tinawagan ko uli,
di pa rin kami magkarinigan.
i suggest tawagan mo naman sya sa celfone nya,
just to confirm with him on how to get the voucher.
uuwi na ako ngayon, dami pa aasikasuhin.
say!

marlon...bago (or second hand?) daw ba yung jvc camcorder na nakalagay sa email mo sa yahoogroups? gusto ng bro ko e...

Thursday, May 20, 2004

just texted prasong about the hotel,
and asked him to reserve a room under your name.
super mura ng 1,300 baht for a 5-star hotel.
anyways, gawa ka ng budget plan,
but i suggest we do it together in pattaya,
while sipping mango shakes and sight-seeing cute thai boys.
i'm leaving the office in 2 minutes,
and won't be back until monday.
company outing tomorrow, then quezon wedding on sat-sun.
basta post ka lang ever.

marlon....how about if we do a plan budget plan (the others will have to follow, ie which places to go kasi those are subject to change) for the 300USD for the 12 days? lemme know na rin in which days we can stay in some one else's house...i think ill do a budget plan myself...


(May 26) day 1 fare, hotel xxx USD
day 2 hotel, food, misc. xxx USD

ahhh...must have slipped my mind...hehehe

i dunno...i still think we can check out naman some hotels ano...it's true some of the budget hotels are bad (bad is subjective anyway, but that's beside the point)...was just thinking we should go the budget way ahehehe para makadami...

huhuhuhu, parang di mo naman binabasa blogs ko.
i mentioned in one of my posts na alanganin si francis,
kasi he's going to the states rin.
so ngayon di pa sya sure kung san sya kukuha
ng panggastos sa bangkok, pero last night,
parang gusto na rin nya uli sumama sa atin.
pero wag natin sya asahan, he's really fickle-minded,
so i'm assuming na di sya kasama,
para if ever, ayos na rin ang plans without him.
yung other people in the group, friends ni fabio,
na naging friends ni francis, na naging friends ko na rin.
super cutie si edmund, promise.
yummy, yummy, pero babae sya, mas malandi sa akin!
about lonely planet, kaka-check ko lang ng reviews sa amazon,
and most of them don't really recommend the book.
kasi di daw updated ang info,
and some of the places, are really bad daw,
but it's not lonely planet's fault kasi daw
anything can happen between the visit and the book publishing.
so i trust prasong's opinion more kasi he's a local,
who knows how to go and get around.
750 pesos is ok na sa akin for one night,
kasi with breakfast na rin tapos ok pa yung hotel.
it's like staying in dusit for 2200 pesos, but a lot cheaper.
check this: http://www.pattayacity.com/pattaya/index.html

sino ang mga ito?

edmund
bambam
cayenne
badj

ok yung price pero marami pang mas mura...game ka? madami sa lonely planet nakalista na budget hotels sa pattaya! :D

and yeah, bat parang d mo na minimention si francis as our kasama? di na ba sia sasama sa tin?

lumabas kami last night nina prasong, francis,
fabio, john, cherryl, edmund, bambam, cayenne,
and badj sa eastwood.
we had dinner at jack's loft,
and we got there mga 845pm na yata.
super ikot kami, mrt ayala to megamall,
lakad to podium, then taxi to libis.
napagod yata sya sa travel,
although i told na better if we don't take a taxi,
dahil super traffic sa makati dahil sa ulan.
better kung sa ortigas na,
in addition, may mga dinaanan ako sa ortigas.
in fairness, mukhang happy si prasong last night,
and ni-lands nang todo ang mga boylets,
especially edmund na super keri.
even francis and fabio, nila-lands din nya!
we talked about the bangkok trip,
and he said nga na the malaysia trip will push through,
and i told him na it's ok since we plan to go to a beach
on the 27th and return to bangkok on the 28th.
he suggested pattaya, and he has a friend who can
get us a discount in one of the hotels.
we only need to pay probably around 1,500 pesos per night,
so tig-750 lang tayo kaya win na rin.
but unconfirmed pa to, we need to get the voucher daw.
i hope this is ok with you,
and since mas mura, game ako sa pattaya.
try to read up re: pattaya para matodo ang pagrampa,
dahil masaya daw nightlife dito.
anyways, yun lang muna, back to training na.

Wednesday, May 19, 2004

yup, dinner kami tonight ni prasong with francis and fabio,
kasi nakita nya ang boracay pics, type nya si fabio.
he's staying in manila pen, and meet kami ng 8pm.
we might bring him to eastwood para makaikot sya,
and suggestion din ni francis na tamad atang mag-drive.
baka padaanin namin si lukring sa jack's loft.

i highly suggest kho samet, kasi recommended ng friend ko.
nasa bangkok si prasong on may 26,
so once you get to bangkok, meet na muna kayo,
then diretso ako sa house nya sa gabi.
then 4am, bus na tayo to kho samet and 7am nasa beach na tayo.
tulog na lang tayo sa bus, kasi time is gold.
chuks!

anjan si prasong sa pinas ngayon...he just called me...

Tuesday, May 18, 2004

hay...too complicated...bili ka na lang jan oks? like you, ill jst bring 300usd para i can control my money...

sa ai, read that naiwan sila trias, barrino and degarmo...ok ano? isang brown, black, white...it's almost like a battle of the races...

ill raed up later kung anong beach pedeng puntahan...

kala ko ba di pede si prasong on the 26th? dont have an evening flight kasi...shucks, i think ill arrive mga 4pm...so i guess, ill wait for u sa airport...which i dont wanna do...sana pede si prasong or yung friend ni alie.........

true, nalito ako.
pero plan ko is pag nagkita na tayo sa bangkok
bibili ng dollars sa yo, actually $100 lang.
sabi kasi nila, pwede daw magpapalit ng peso to baht,
pero iniisip ko lang is yung sa singapore.
so dala ka lang siguro ng extra $100,
tapos bigyan kita ng 5600 pesos.
pwede mo na rin ipapalit ng baht yung pesos,
instead na dollar to baht, keri?
mga 15k lang siguro madadala ko papunta,
kasi super wiz anda talaga.
mga what time pala ang dating mo exactly?
medyo late ang dating ko, mga 11 pm pa.
hintayin mo ba ako sa airport or kita na lang kina prasong?
about the beach, keri lang sa akin yun,
pero san ba ang pinakamalapit at safe beach don?
wag tayo masyado sa south, kasi magulo don ngayon.
gusto ko yung sa pinag-shooting-an ng the beach?
sa kho samet daw yun, sa rayong province,
and eto nakita ko sa net on how to go there:

http://www.tothailand.com/province/eastcoast/rayong/61how.php

and official website ng rayong:

http://www.rayong.go.th/

tapos let's stay overnight there,
and balik ng hapon sa bangkok to celebrate my bday with prasong.
gusto ko ng boylets on may 28!
chuks!

hello marlon...i think i wasnt being clear yesterday...for you to buy dollars from me, may 2 options: (1) i transfer money from here to your account tas you just deposit your payment to my account in the phils or (2) i transfer from my pinas account to your account...(1) cannot do it kasi i am only allowed free transfers for my salary sa isang account overseas (my account), ergo if i transfer to your account and my account, that would entail extra costs (2) cannot do it as well kasi my(or my mother's signature) would be needed, which is impossible to do....so bili ka na lang jan...

anyways, marlon...favor ko lang ha...di ba dating ako in the afternoon sa thai at ikaw naman sa gabi...can we go directly to the beach the next day? i just wanna chill out...i've been so stressed lately kasi...that would be my much needed rest...:D

Monday, May 17, 2004

sorry...nakalimutan kong sagutin q mo...wala kasi yung previous entry to serve as reference e...:P...bout the dollars, bili ka na lang jan...account ko is a dollar account, cant do transfers kasi kelangan ng signature ko...eh wala akong bank slip dito...pede nanay ko pero hello...baka tumaas kilay nun...

ok ako sa ikea thingie...

sige later ulit...

sarap naman, may bagyo jan...miss ko na bagyo...di bumabagyo sa saigon e...

hi belinda!

oks lang siguro kung konti lang dala natin,
tapos laba-laba na lang tayo kina prasong,
or kung san man may laundry shop don.
ayaw ko rin magdala ng madami kasi nga ikot tayo,
and mahirap kung maraming dala sa train.
wish ko lang e may washing machine si prasong.
basahin mo nang mabuti ang lonely planet book,
para lahat ng ok sa thailand mapuntahan natin.
some of the things i'd like to do:
visit royal palace, patpong, night/weekend market,
ride skytrain, beach, watch muay thai, temples,
meet cute thai boylets, eat street food.
btw, super dilim sa labas ng bldg namin ngayon, as in!
makati day ngayon, and signal #3 din sa bicol.
sana naman wag umulan until makuha ko ang barong
for ate vane's wedding this sat and makauwi ako.
ay teka, umuulan na nga!
huhuhuhuhhuhuuhu!

speaking of wedding, may plan ka ba mag-gift?
if you're interested, we can buy a joint gift sa ikea,
and most of the items don, perfect wedding gift.
meron daw ikea sa singapore and para iwas bitbit.
happy sana kung makakapag-combine financial forces tayo,
para makabigay tayo ng decent enough gift,
and hindi table napkins lang.
chuks!

whatchatink?

last weekend pala, we went to bataan courtesy of ruby,
and i super duper enjoyed the weekend,
swim-swim sa dagat, sa batis, sakay ng bus, boat, jeep,
and charades buong weekend!
nakapag-billiards pa and videoke noong gabi.
punta na kasi si ruby sa saipan on friday,
and baka magpakasal na sila ni rommel pagpunta nya.
sana maging happy sya don with soon-to-be-hubby.

ps. makakabili ba ako ng dollars sa yo?

hi marlon...bought a lonely planet book on thailand last weekend...also did some inventory of things that i will be bringing with me to our 12-day trip...not sure if this is enough, never been on a trip that long... but im planning to bring three sets ng damit...2 pantulog...towel, swimwear...yun lang...ikaw? ...i dont wanna bring a lot of baggage with me...so i was planning perhaps we can do our laundry dun or something...

Tuesday, May 11, 2004

ay true, parang di ako sanay.
mas maganda yata kung yung previous post e nasa baba,
para you can use it as a reference diba?
anyways, nakiki-blog lang tayo so wag tayong maarte.
chuks!

yung plane ticket ko, i only paid 2400 pesoses,
kasi i used my frequent flyer miles from northwest.
i wanted to use the miles for my tokyo trip,
since mas mahal ang ticket to japan than thailand,
pero since malapit nang maging president si FPJ,
i've decided to use them bago magkagulo.
chuks!

for the pocket money, honestly, di ko alam kung san kukuha.
i'm hoping na dumating ang 13th month pay,
so baka i might bring mga $400 siguro para may extra.
pero ideally lang to ha, baka maging $200 lang yan bigla.
magdadala na rin ako ng credit card just in case.
yung total budget mo na $640, i think that's acceptable na,
kasi we'll be gone for 12 days and mas happy kung vacation talaga.
i mean, i'd like to enjoy thailand as much as possible,
and it's not like every year ako nandon kaya,
i'm willing to spend as much kahit na walang pera.

btw, pwede ba ako bumili ng dollars sa yo?

yung singapore trip naman, super pwede na yun,
kasi for $50, nasa singapore ka na tapos makakapag-malaysia pa.
tapos yung mga friends ko sa singapore, papalibre lang tayo!
libre ang bahay at food, dahil ang promise nila lahat,
pag natuloy ang singapore, manlilibre sila,
at inaasahan kong tutuparin nila yun.
chuks!

so minimal lang ang gastos sa singapore,
except for the travel costs for the train and plane,
na gagastusin mo rin naman sa bangkok-saigon.
definitely may difference, but the extra gastos would
not compare to the experience of traveling by train
from bangkok to penang to kuala lumpur to singapore with ME!
chuks!

pero no chuks, i'm sure it would be fun.

kaw marlon pala...how much did u pay for ur ticket?

abah...iba na look ng blogspot.com!

oiii marlon...pareho tayo...i dint tell my nanay about my trip kasi im sure mahu-hurt yun bat ko pinili thailand over pinas...ahehehe...so i just told her na cant go home this june coz im veryyy busy...

i was planning to buy the lonely planet book...last weekend i was in my fave bookstore (where they sell very cheap book copies)...but i got all engrossed i totally forgot to buy it...i ended up buying one coelho book (manual of the warrior of light) and a hornby book (how to be good)...so far, i havent started reading any one of the two...been pretty busy during the weeked finishing some report...ill buy the lonely planet book next weekend...

ive booked flights na...ill get them by or before the 22nd...mejo kamahalan:

FLIGHT TIME
SGN-BKK 1530
SGR-SGN 1430
USD: 390!!!!
PLUS TRAIN FARE:
USD: 50
TOTAL FARE:
USD: 440

PLUS POCKET MONEY (btw, how much do you suggest?)
USD: 200

TOTAL COST:
USD: 640!!!! shit.

parang nanghihina ako when i think about it...i may change my mind about going to singapore...mas mahal plane fare kasi galing dun...eh sa thai it's just 150USD...!

ill decide until the 22nd...until then...give me a good reason why i should go there...ahahha...i have a cousin there pala...we can visit her (she's married) if you want...pero kelangan dating e for biz otherwise magreport yun sa nanay ko na naglagkwatsa lang ako...grabeh ang buhay na to...matanda na tayo, pero we're still living in the shadows of our kananayan!

belinda, punta ka pala sa thailand.com,
dami ok na info don about things to do in bangkok.
a friend suggested we visit kho sumet,
dun ni-shoot yung the beach ni leonardo dicaprio.
but i'm not sure if it's far from bangkok.
i also sent the site for the bangkok-singapore train,
and mga $50 yung total fare from bangkok, one-way.
nasabi ko na rin kanina sa mama ko na punta ako,
kasi ayaw ko talaga ipaalam sa kanila this early,
baka mapagalitan na naman ako dahil sa gastos.
pero tumawag kasi ang pal so i had to tell them.
anyways, try to get a copy of lonely planet thailand,
marami daw ok na information don.
meron kasi akong travel book ng southeast asia,
and na-feature yung thailand doon.
but it's more of a travel diary than a guide.
last night pala nanood kami ni lukring ng hellboy,
and in fairness, ok naman ang movie,
although totally incoherent, illogical ang story.
but i enjoyed the action scenes.
say!

btw, musta na pala ang plane tickets mo?
how much did you pay?
si lani pala i asked her, walang reply!
pero hayaan na natin sya, baka happy sya sa buhay nya now,
ayaw nya ng distractions na boys.
si shiela rin, nag-iinarte kay erwin, ayaw pa i-meet!
pero buhay nila yan, so kebs na siguro.

o sige....sama na rin ako sa so sa sing! =)

si lani...ewan ko sabi rin ni alan (friend kong taga up na nasa accenture now)...nagtext rin sia ke lani pero mukhang "busy" daw si lani...! pedeng pakikurot sa kanya for me please??!

musta ang ticket?
are you sure you don't want to go to singapore with me?
meron daw train from bangkok to malaysia to singapore,
ad mga 50 singaporean dollars lang yata.
instead of taking your plane from bangkok,
try to get one from singapore.
dami ko friends don, and we can stay with them.
actually si erik, yung batchmate ko sa svi, nasa singapore,
and he's helping me find the cheapest transpo from bangkok.
what do you think?

si cherryl din pala nandito na sa makati,
and halos everyday kami nagla-lunch, except yesterday.
nag-swimming daw sa morong, rizal kaya ayan nagkasakit.
o diba, from boracay to morong, level!
chuks!

si shiela naman, tinawagan na daw sya ng friend ko.
ni-setup ko kasi sya with my up gradschool friend, si erwin.
tapos si lani with a highschool friend, si arcadio.
ewan ko ba kung ano na ang status ni lani and arcadio,
kasi si lani daw di sumasagot sa texts.
hay naku, manang na manang!
chuks!
