Back in Vietnam (day 2)

August 9, 2013

We're so ready for our tour for the day! I wasn't expecting anything until we hopped on our tour bus! Almost 2hrs bus ride from Saigon to Mekong.... 

 Had a stop over after an hour... I was eyeing the guy on white shirt and caught him looking at my side so many times haha, sa likod ako nakaupo e! Hmmm cutie! haha! Kilig na agad ako. May duda na kami na bading ang isa kasi he's with another guy who's wearing a black shirt naman. My friend was fast enough to track their age and nationality after signing our names on the paper being passed inside the bus! Magaling-magaling!

 Boat ride going to the river...! my gosh, sa likod umupo yung 2 pogi, ay isa lang pala pogi kasi yun isa pogi lang pag naka shades hehe.... Then my 2 friends started a conversation with the guys from Switzerland. Kilig naman ako while watching them, pero disappointed after seeing how he talks and motion to his other friend.. Alam na! Brokeback mountaineers hahaha! Anyway, they're fun naman. We had like 3-5 stops within that boat ride. So feeling close na kami kina Swiss boys. Every after each stop, nagkakapalitan ng seats so I get to sit at the back where this 2 guys from Netherlands were seated earlier. Eh may hammock... Inagawan ko sila wahaha! Pero si sando boy, nakisiksik pa din sa end ng boat to go to the hammock, eh nasa tagiliran ako...! My 2 friends were like "lagot ka inagawan mo upuan si kuya" LOL... wala ako pake, i paid for the ride haha! nauna ako this time :P

My 2 friends were still chit chatting with the swiss boys while I was just listening to theyre convo. Sando boy was on the hammock with his camera and I was on the other side with my camera too. Then he started talking to me. 

some parts of the convo:

Guy: where are you from?
Me: Philippines, you?
Guy: im from Holland
Me: oh Netherlands, what's your name? *heart beats fast, still calm* 
Guy: *removes his sunnies* Jasper, and you?
Me: R****............ 
*friend interrups with a camera*
Me: *to Jasper* picture?
Jasper: *gives space and asked me to sit beside him* 
Me: what was that language that you were using? *kunwari di alam*
Jasper: Nederlands... im Dutch... 

Ayun! kinilig ako after he took off his sunnies! Wagas! I love Netherlands talaga hahaha! Then we were talking about his travels and stuffs... Haaay... haha!

 One of the stops, we went to this corny ride haha! But not really corny naman if there were two good looking guys on the same ride with you...! hihi...

Mekong River experience! Awesome haha!

Boat ride on our way back to the buses... Best boat ride ever...! hahaha...! Alam na..! But too bad coz after 1 stop over, the swiss guys, the 2 dutch and us were transferred into different buses...! waaaa...! :'(

We had some Vietnamese dish for our dinner before going back to our hotel to get ready for a night out. Awesome day...!

We went to Pacharan, a club that plays latin music etc. A friend recommended it and so we checked it out. It was almost same with our fave latin music club in Singapore! Kakamis! We just danced there and lucky there was no entrance fee hihi... We went to a PUB afterwards and there was this band playing and they're Filipinos! Awesome! Ang dami lang oldies na nagpapa cute kadiri hahaha! :p

On our taxi ride back to the hotel, 3 guys were crossing the street and one of them pointed at us from the outside and then the other guy waved at us... I was like shocked and then I screamed "si Jasper...!!!!" So it means they're just staying on the same street with us! waaa! let's stalk hahaha! Sayang yun oh, 3 sila 3 kami. kaso pabalik na yata sila sa hotel haha! The bar and restaurant beside our hotel has a club pala upstairs and so we went up there to dance soome more hehe... GO2 bar, tomorrow night again hehe...

Back in Saigon... (day 1)

August 8, 2013

Went back home by 3am and sleep for 5hrs. Woke up around 8am feeling lazy to do last minute packing for Vietnam. I just packed the right number of clothes for that 4 day trip...!

I was able to meet another friend at the airport whos on her way to Thailand. I actually was suppose to go with them but the fare is too high so i ended up booking a flight to Ho Chi Minh with my other 2 friends coz i really wanna go away on that long weekend.

We never planned anything but we listed down the things that we wanna do when we get there. So f na f ko ang hat ko, Taylor Swift or Carly Rae get up hahah!

When we got there it was raining. The taxi on our way to the hotel suddenly turned off the meter and asked us to just pay this big amount! Were like, what the hell!? And he does not speak English so he had to call someone and talk to us on the phone. I felt a little scared coz we might get abducted!!! Tengene....

When we got to the hotel I was feeling excited already after seeing white guys on the streets! Alam na! Haha! Then I found out that we are staying on this street where the bars and restaurants and clubs are just few steps away outside our hotel! Now im starting to love Buí Vien Street! Good thing it wasnt raining so we strolled on the streets and checked out some local bakeries and shops and boys hahahaha! 

My two friends were getting amazed by how i react whenever we would bumped into white guys hihi... yeah i havent met with any guys for a while haha! I am getting culture shocked again hahaha! Had our late lunch in this Vietnamese kainan and there was a group of people talking in Spanish. Ooooh kaso di age group hahahah! I was tempted to go in the tattoo shop but too bad i dont have a copy of my design on my phone.

I told my american friend whos teaching in vietnam to meet us up on a night out and so far he kept on saying he is broke or whatever... so we didnt bother him anymore...

We took a taxi going to this shop where they sell branded over runs. We spent the whole afternoon shopping for clothes! Got like 5 dresses thats very cheap! Okay may pang gimik na sa gabi! Hihi...

I loooove Buí Vien street talaga! We strolled again after resting and saw how the morning set up of the restaurants and bars evolved into their night set up... oh yeah so loving the view...!

Super babaw lang ng kaligayahan ko...! We had mexican for dinner and youll see me sitting on the part where i can see the people passing by hahaha! Genius! I was actually taking stolen shots of other tourists...white guy tourists haha...! My 2 friends were like, "this girl is crazy, lets just leave her like that, she's happy..." haha...

Night out with the roommate

August 7, 2013

I wasn't really excited about my trip to Vietnam. The night before my flight I went on a ladies night with my roomate! She kept on reminding me days ago about the night out on Wednesday coz its holiday on Thursday and Friday. She's like "im excited and i want to see your world" haha! The weekend before, she saw me went out and back home with my gimik attire. It was in a bar in boat quay with my other friend that weekend... just a sit down bar to catch up and do boy watching.  I havent been out for like 2 months so i feel like a newbie there sitting shyly on the bar.

That Wednesday, I brought my roomate to Clarke Quay. We had fries and nuggets before getting in to China One. It was a very fun night! I havent been to a club for a while! Roomate is into drinks but i was able to make her dance on the dancefloor with the crazy crowd! We were texting our other housemates to follow us haha and in the end we just planned to go all together in the club one night this coming September. :D

August na!

August 4, 2013

 Hola! Been feelin up and down the past week... Was able to have a chat with my cousin's fiancé on Facebook. It's really more effective to talk to a guy about "guy dramas/problems" than to your own girl friends! Proven tested! he told me that I shouldn't like wait for him, coz if he's serious about me or whatever, he will make effort... CORRECTED BY! haha! Nice one, kuya! Boto na ko sa kanya for my cousin! :) After our chat I felt relieved but still a little worried whenever Sleepy won't message me... :'( but yeah, cousin-in-law is right, i should grow up and try to look through or see the guy's point of view in this kind of situation... and most of all I should love myself more :)

work is good, as in so far so good... comparing it to my previous workplace, this new one is far more better... but i always find myself tired and sleepy whenever i get home... workaholic ang peg? haha!

nag recontract na ako ng phone! bye bye to apple iphone 4s, hello to samsung galaxy s4... still getting used to it, can't text with one hand! waaa! :O

went on a night out last Friday and Saturday after a month or 2! culture shocked again haha! went out with my friend's friend, well friends na kami e haha! so 2 nights in a row... the second night we meet up with her date whos with another guy friend... ehh di kami match haha! i just enjoyed the view, my crush greeted me shet kamuka nya si Matt Long! and the bartender, i love him! haha! pogi much! but he looks young haaaaay... ill be back there hehe...

aaaand, 1 more month before my birthday...! i'm making a wish list! wahaha! my goooosh i'm turning 24 soon...

hello fringes

i had my haircut! 

been thinking of what to do with my hair ever since i started in my new workplace... i used to be scared of scissors going through my hair! and i still want my blonde hair... its just that its super dry already and i think my hair is not growing fast coz of the damaged part which slows down the growth...

finally i decided to go to the salon after looking up for some hairstyles the night before... no turning back anymore... i sat on the salon and not feeling nervous about the outcome hehe... showed the local hairdresser a photo of Taylor Swift with her bangs and layers LOL! 

I can see my hair on the floor! waaa! haha! no guilt feeling....

I wasnt able to recognize myself after the haircut! but i can imagine how messy it'll be after one shower hahaha!

took photos on my webcam to fool some friends that my hair is above shoulder length haha! :D

the next day, after shower hair haha! the normal hair! wahaha!

the problem now is how to make it look neat when im at work! wahaha! i look like an old lady if ill have my glasses on.. so, goodluck on Monday! LOL

so i guess this will be the last post about crush... :P

crush is getting married this coming September to his girlfriend...well coz he got her pregnant... what's new!? LOL... i didnt really give a shit after hearing the news coz way back then, i thought he's the dad of his ex's kid... not surprised anymore...

it was my cousin who suddenly messaged me to confirm if i know it already... napa-facetime ng wala sa oras haha! anyway, im not really affected... just feeling bitter because he doesnt want to invite or inform me! my bro told me that my mom will be one of the ninangs... like wtf... he went straight to my parents, hello what are friends for!? im still waiting for him to let me know... i know that he knows that i knew already, but better if it'll be coming from him...

enough already...

I told myself so many times that I'm not opening that dating site... But still I was opening it just to check if I have messages... (feeler mode) haha!

Friday morning, my 2nd to the last Friday in my workplace, I was slacking as usual, well coz I'm leaving already haha! Was on my phone most of the time and there I got a message from a foreign guy who's staying on the other side of Singapore...chatted with him for a while and yeah he's a bummer he said he doesn't have anything to do till Sunday and he wants to look around Singapore coz he's new... well I'm very nice to offer myself to tour him around... (lucky youre nice enough for me and you look handsome haha) and we got a date Sunday... 

JUNE 1

We're chatting like the whole Friday and then Saturday came. I got a movie date with my 2 friends (Hangover 3) and he's asking where ill be and he's planning to loaf around the area. I was like, "are you gonna stalk me!?" haha... then I'm kind enough and ask him if he wanted to meet me after my movie with my 2 friends... Yes of course he's been waiting for me to ask him that question! LOL! so there i told my 2 friends that I'm gonna meet someone after the movie and they're teasing me like "uuy she has a blind date! can we see him before we leave!?" haha! not today lol...

There I met him outside Ion mall. Had BK and walked along Orchard Rd... Ended up taking a train going to Clarke Quay! I lend him my extra EZ link and he paid for it... 360 degree walk around Clarke Quay and ended up chillin and drinking at the bridge. after 2 cans we walked again, undecided where to go or what to do. Found ourselves sitting along the river near the bridge still and got another 2 cans of beer. Wow! I never had more than 2 cans of beers in my life! record breaking! We took our separate taxis coz he lives in the west while I stay on the east. 

He's kind and funny, I like his aura... goody good good... :) 

We met again Sunday after lunch for a beach walk in Sentosa. I gave him one of my hanky after the previous night, coz he has a roll of tissue inside his bag to wipe his sweat wahaha LOL. It was during the middle of the day and the sun was up and solo hot as we walked on the sand. He brought a towel and there we put it on the grass and lied down for a while... I like him, he's kind and sweet and funny… Yeah he's lazy and gets tired easily so we were just really lying down on the ground under the trees and we kept on moving coz the sun is trying to touch us haha! I kept on singing the first lines of Nicki Minaj's "starships"… "let's go to the beach-each" haha! then we heard the song in one of the resort/restaurant on our walk going to another spot. We watched this beach volleyball game while sitting on the ground again… Simple date but yet I find it so sweet and romantic… Yes mababaw kaligayahan ko haha! It suddenly rained when we decided to just walk back to the first station in Sentosa… so we just waited for the train for a while, and he's getting grumpy already… yeah I'm starting to read him, he's hungry hahaha! he kept on teasing and blaming me and hugging me :P 

Back to Vivo city, we had chicken rice! yay! bought some gummies while deciding where to eat and go afterwards… we still both don't wanna go home so we went to Marina Bay and we're able to see the light show. He kept on complaining about walking LOL… sorry, i love walking and he's tired already hehe… went on our separate wayson the MRT… hoping and wishing to see him again… :)

The following days, we were always in touch… Like we message each other everyday… but i'm trying to balance my emotions… i mean i don't want to expect anything… or yeah I'm expecting the worst already… like "what if that is the last time that I see him… yeah for sure he'd date other girls after me… what if he's just making up stories… or what if he just stopped communicating with me…" I just like him… i just wish he's not like the other guys… coz so far he's very kind and down to earth, and he's really different… and he's making me feel different :)

I will always remember...

Life isn't fair, coz life should be balanced… 

so we will see what's gonna happen...
