Eat Pray and Travel

-->

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.
