Hey people of the world what's up??????????
What????????????
You guys I'm so tired and exhausted. Today I was like a headless chicken preparing for the Christmas Production.
I'm just happy for the few people here and there of offer to help me. It's such a relief to get some help. I'm so thankful for them.
For me I look fine outside but sometimes it feels like its piling up inside of me and it just might burst. But I'm glad to still have my head cool. I can actually go through this and be positive and smile and humm to myself.
On my own (with God's help) I'm actually surviving so well compared to previous times when I'm under pressure and have lots of expectations to meet up to.
Tomorrow is judgment day! Hahhaa...nahhhh...I'm excited but I know I"ll be exhausted by the time tomorrow night comes. But I can rest my head on Wednesday on our holiday.
I know my students are going to make me proud. That's what they told me.
Looking forward to it...my strength will come from somewhere deep with in.

Family Road Trip
It was unusually traffic because of the Holiday and long weekend. It too us 3.5 hours to reach Muaklek instead of the usual 2. The moment we got there we ate at Krua Nong Pen. It's a Thai restaurant with individual "huts" you can sit in. It's located near the intersection leading to MC. We were happy to feast after being stuck in traffic.
I'm glad Dad (and Mom and Haze and I =) ) enjoyed his food. We had 2 plates of Som tum (Papaya Salad), Fish with sour mango salad (Pla Chon Yum Mamuang), friend chicken and sticky rice...yummmmmm... There were alot of people there but we came a lfew minutes earlier than the others so we got our food really quick.
Right at the entrance of the restaurant there's a sign pointing to our destination...belove MC.
This is the "Wedding Committee" (Hazel, Daron, Renie, Roch, Pheap, ONya, Dr. Fanwar, A. Sheila). We met to discuss and finalize some stuff. It was a good meeting and I'm really happy about it. We laughed alot.
I got to meet up with Roch (in this pic she took of herself on MY phone), Pheap and Onya and catch up and hang out with them. So glad for that. I'm really excited I'll be seeing them against next week because they'll be coming over for the bachelorette!
We sent Pheap to the dorm and we stopped for a while to get some fresh air before we headed back out of the campus. Here's my lovely family and our beloved car that has brought us so far.
My parents and I!
We wanted to go to the Fashion Outlet and Chokchai Farm/Steakhouse but when we turned on the road it was sooooooooooooo traffic we just turned left and dropped at market at the side of the road. We bought some curry puffs, grape juice and beef. We headed back to Bkk and then we bought some groceries from The Mall Bangkapi, ate and now I'm home. I'm so tired but I really loved spending time with my parents and sister today.

Dec.5 is Father's Day!
Yep in Thailand today it is Father's Day Because His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej has turned 81.
Happy Birthday King of Thailand!!
Happy Father's Day Dad!!!
Today I'm shooting 2 birds at one time =)
My family and I are going to Mission College to meet with others in the "Wedding Committee" and finalize most things.
We'll be there for a while and then my family and I will be driving around in that area to maybe visit sunflower fields and visit Chokchai Farm and Steakhouse. That is our Father's Day celebration.
Well, you guys another week has come and gone.
After this week there's 2 more weeks until that long awaited day.
The Monday after this coming Monday I'll be picking Bayu and his parents up at the airport. I"m so excited to see all of them.
Jyn is coming on the 14th all prepared to be my "slave" haha and my bachelorette is next Saturday the 13th too.
Good news last night was that Tiger Airways emailed Bayu and confirmed that all flights will be flying as scheduled on the 15th. Thank you God!

Wonderings
I have some pix to post up...I better do it before they accidentally get deleted again!
I ate Lebanese food at Dolls celebration last night...I totally forgot to take pictures coz I was starving!
I have some pictures of when my family and I ate at Fuji, a Japanese restaurant here in Thailand so http://kengot.blogspot.com/ from Japan can tell me how different it is from the real Japanese food! Hahhaha...
Oh and I'm wondering how those MVCA students (RJ, Nicky, Dominic) are doing? Are they still alive? Have they dug holes for their "unwanted treasures" yet? Those are serious camps dude! My cousin in The Philippines said those kinds of camps you can't use tissue paper...only leaves! Wonder if they had to do it too =P

A Different Message
The suspense of how this whole situation in Thailand is killing me. Will it be violent or not? Will people die? Can it really end peacefully?
Then that thing that happened last night. Now any little commotion and I'm like "What's that?! What now??"
On my way back home on the bus...Yellow signs, megaphone...oh no...are the PAD trying to recruit more people?
Then I saw what it said on the yellow sign. It was in Thai in biiiig fonts. "Jesus can save you. Repent now...etc."
First reaction *Phew* it has nothing to do with the PAD
Second reaction *Wow* I got teary eyed just thinking how Thai people are now proclaiming the message of Jesus in public...in this Buddhist country.
-----------
On the way back home I passed through the soi that had the explosion. My soi (or street) is 37 and the one with the explosion was 39. The back gate to my compound is on soi 39. I tried to see any signs of the bomb or whatever but none. So I asked the guard of the back gate where the bomb went off. It was closer than I thought or imagined.
At the back gate of my compound across the small road of the soi is an empty field or lot. Next to that lot is a house. Apparently, some people through the bomb (or whatever) over the gate of that house into the person's yard. 2 cars were destroyed. That 's what the guard told me. If they had gotten the wrong instructions and threw it across the opposite gate that would be my compound already! Specifically BAIS...

That Loud Sound Last Night
Once in a while the transformer (those containers hanging on the telephone post with all the electrical wires) in the soi I live in would have some sort of short circuit and explode. If you are there to see it it either catches fire or has lots of sparks then goes away. The electricity around that area (including my house) will also go off. It happens quite often and becomes pretty normal. It usually happens during the day or evening though.
But last night, around 3 am I heard a loud bang or explosion. I practically jumped out of my skin. I thought it was another transformer explosion. But there was something different about the sound. I never usually feel scared of that sound. I thought it was just because it was so early in the morning and with all the unrest in Bangkok it just made me a little uneasy and jumpy. I also couldn't confirm if it really was the transformer because the fan in my room was off anyway so I couldn't tel if the electricity went out. I lay there with my eyes wide open waiting to hear screams or sirens or some commotion but there was nothing. So I lulled myself to sleep by repeating over and over that it was just the transformer.
While I was lying awake I was thinking of what it must be like to be in a real "war" situation or "terrorist" situation and I was like "I would be freaked out I'd probably faint and die!" So I was thankful I didn't hear sirens or any commotion and went to sleep.
This morning I was chatting with Hazel on gmail. She was telling me that the people in the office are all talking about the explosion last night. What was it? It was a grenade in one of the apartments in the soi next to the soi I live in. Mr. Edgar who lives in Unitech apartment and near where the grenade went off said that the whole building shook.
I was really freaked out when I heard that news. It was like the closest I've come to my nightmare and I didn't even know it! From what I know though it doesn't have to do with the whole PAD or whatever.
But still...Welcome to Thailand...a grenade goes off and it's not even on the news. Just another topic to talk about. Haha..But what's new..I mean those transformers exploding regularly is nothing new either!
*Sigh*
