As I begun my journey for 2013, I
decided to set a goal to go back and re-start my career. I started to pack my
things; everything I wanted to prepare a new and challenging competition has
been outlined. I set my mind that whatever happens everything will be ok and
will go back to normal. That’s my objectives and it happens with a single blink
in my journey. I brought with me three things, Eat Pray and Travel.
Let me start my journey in
Beijing where it was new again to myself. Places I have stayed courtesy with my
long time friend Mardy. I stayed in the central business district of Beijing
China.
With a degree of Negative
10, I needed to put on 3 to 4 clothes to warm me up. There, I discover the
beauty of the place, where I explore cultural heritage, the landmarks, and
historical sites. I also indulge myself into the almost original branded items
that you can only see only in Beijing. I prayed respect also to the temples and
shrines. The food that they offer will keep you coming back. Friends that I
have met were truly great full and will be missed. Beijing is again added to my
long list of memories that it will never be forgotten.
My second stop was Dubai, the
aggressive and ambitious city that no one wants to surpass as they want to be
the pioneer of everything and only as they say you can find it only in UAE.
There I stayed to a good friend Janet where I started my career in the
insurance company. I didn’t bother to explore much of the place as I have
already been there many times. I work already and got involve in many facets of
the insurance business. During my stay, every weekend was a mandate to me to
visit St. Mary Church to pray and thank him for everything he has done to me to
make this journey a memorable one. Got to explore a bit of the food courtesy of
Maria. The shabu shabu is one thing that I crave for as I have tasted this back
in Beijing. My visit to Dubai will not be completed without the help of
Melvie(Ate Vi) for his undying assistance to me on my entry visa. I also got to
assist and help my sister Chona fulfill her dream to go and eventually stay for
good in Italy. I will be missing her when i come back in Dubai but life has to
move on.
Last trip was Thailand where I
got to explore again this magnificent temples and Buddha’s all over Bangkok. I
was able to visit Silom for their affordable items, fabulous foods along the
streets of Saladaeng, bars in Pathpong. The Babylon should not be missed as
they offer relaxation, rejuvenation and of course happy ending for all the
PLU’s. My stay to Bangkok was cut short as I have to go to the south to explore
and probably got aware of the New places and Tourist Island they offer. This is
of course the famous “Phuket”. exploring bangkok was easy for me to do it, just go the famous MBK for the genuine leather and some branded items of the Siam Paragon. You can try also the chatuchak the version of the Divisoria in Manila. Aesthetic beautification is anywhere you can look at as Bangkok offers a wide range of derma clinic. when you want to look good and be young again, this is the place for you to visit and you deal with the price range depending on the requirements you need.
As I embark my journey in Phuket,
the first thing that comes to my mind is the place that I will stay. Immediately
got my guidebook for the best, friendly and affordable place to stay and it was
only adjacent to where the city offers – The Paradise complex. Tired and
exhausted did not stop me from exploring the place right away I went to the
beach to see what its all about. “Patong” beach is one of a kind and stayed to
catch the beautiful sunset. Truly is a magnificent world class Phuket will
offer to travelers. Places to go, Island hopping, bars in almost every streets,
shopping malls and Tiange were truly delightful. Foods were everywhere,
relaxations and spa is truly ideally recommended to those who got some
exhaustive and tiring journey. I dream to myself that one day I will visit and
see for myself what Phuket can offer differently from the rest. I have made my
judgment and it is indeed a world class to offer.
Last journey in Thailand will be
in Pattaya were a variety of tourist spot and places to explore awaits me. As
the guidebook has told me, There were also beaches and bars to offers and other
interesting places to explore that only me can unravel it. What more can I ask
for, I’m pretty sure they halve also for PLUs to cater the needs.
Last note, I am very thankful for
this wonderful journey I have and what can I say, my birthday was fulfilled and
celebrated with this gifts this places can offer. I would only hope that its
does not end here and perhaps only the beginning of the never-ending
exploration of what Gods has given to mankind.
