Ok, It's been a while for the pictures. hehe. But, here it is. I was over in Thailand during the Winter Break of 2005-2006. It was my first time being back there since ten years. Everything seemed out of ordinary, I mean.. it's all different (total). It was also the first time ever for me to get to know my real mom. Turned out, She's Great! She's so fantastic, oh I don't know what to say about her. So, we then had a big Family Reunion (mom's side). And It was the first time that I did something that.. once in a life time. It was a greatest experience of my life. Well, I had a blasted time.
Here's a quick Highlight: As I was dropped off at the BWI Airport - 27 hours of plane riding - 1 stop @ Narita, Jap. Airline (Cute Jap.) - Traveling alone experience - Final Destination / Bangkok, Thailand - had a wonderful & warm welcoming home @ the Airport (Mom, Pa. Ying, P. Plar, A. Nok, Na. Jack, Nong Sun) - Bangkok in one night (w/ Ai. Tee and his friends / cute friends.. lol.), Eating @ Param 9 restaurant, Clubbing @ Nang Lend, Soi Kow San, driving all over the places, and etc. I had a date (Say What?), yes.. Ai. Tee set up a date for himself, but she ended up bringing a friend with her, haha.. fun times, forgot her name though, but got her digit (Doh!) lol.
Bangkok during the day (w/ Ai. Tee, P. Nut, P. Plar, Mom), Every major Malls you will ever find is here. lol. MK, Pantip, Siam Square, Siam Discovery, and more. One of the big ass Mall had just opened two weeks before I got here, Siam Paragon. I mean shit.. this joint has like 8 floors, its basement got a built-in Ocean World. That's crazy shit right? Yuh. So, yea, to all you shop-lovers. Just buy a ticket to BK, Thailand. haha. - Best thing is that you can find many after marketing shits to buy (Black Market) hehe. yea.. Darkside for the win! I bought like 20 of Mp3 CD's (yea.. that's 180+ songs on one CD, you do the Math), 30 DVD's that only cost me 150 bath each. That's like $3 - 4 US. Dollars each. OMFGWTF right? hehe.
Let's get down to this.. best part of being in Thailand.. Beaches. Yes! Beautiful Beaches (and other Bytches) lol, just playing, it's true though! God damn so Gorgeous! Clear Blue Water, White Sand - Phuket Beach for 3 nights, Samet Island @ Vongdern Resort for 3 nights w/Mom, Family and friends, and @ Sangtien Resort for 1 night by myself (Cause' I couldn't get enough) lol, and Pattaya Beach for 1 week and half, my mom got a house only 5 minutes walking to the beach. - In Pattaya, Chilling @ Pa. Malai's Bar, Clubbing @ Differ for 2 nights w/ my mom and her friends, haha., the rest is pretty chilling.. went to pool and mall w/ Nong Maria (lol, I tipped over the Jet ski, sorry N. Maria). P. Nut was my tour guide in Pattaya, haha. I pretty much went everywhere in Pattaya, from North to South including Jomtien Beach, Pattaya (w/ P. Ple got a beach spot and good foods).
Talking about foods, damn man.. I'm sorry, I got to bust this out. I can tell you this, you won't be starving living here. There're foods everywhere you go. As soon as you walk out of your house, turn left and it's there. Best foods and fruits you'll find. Living in the States for ten years, I'm telling you, we're been eating lies. What that means? It means we're been eating frozen foods, imported frozen foods, junk foods, hmm.. and there's even Artificial Foods here in US. (and you know that, right? Ya-uh). Though, I love MacDonald's and I can't denied it (#1 to go please!). haha.
Well, what else I can tell you.. I-I-I'm going back to Thailand again this Winter Break or next Summer Break for sure. I'm setting up my own Condominium over there, wait till it's official then I'll throw in some pictures of that. Remember, this is just a highlight, I didn't want to get into the details just yet. lol. Here are some pictures for you all..

Ok, so I get a lot of questions about what happened to my head. Well, I tell you this... I went through an Ordination of Buddhist Monk. Its purposes are to purify your being, discipline you, guidance of your thoughts, praying for the one you love, and to be the one that gives (that is based on my opinion and experience). There are altering purposes, which depending on how you propose to it. My (Buddhist) name is Jaruwano (Ja-ru-wan-no). It is given by an elder Monk. It means “Golden-Skin”. I was a Monk for one week and half. I stayed in the temple that whole time. And yes… I did it for my Great Grand Mom. That is what it takes…
