Asean Trip Day 3 (continued): Phuket Nightlife

It was a regular merry night at Patong. Tourists strolling around the streets, locals approaching to offer Thai massage, waiters standing by the restaurants and bars inviting people to come in, food stalls selling relatively cheap pork, chicken, seafood, or sweet pancakes.

As my girl friends and I were staying at different hotel, we decided to meet at an intersection between Patong Beach and Bangla Road. I got there first and while waiting for my friends, I went in to a 7 Eleven store there. A friend told me that Thai Sevel has the most delicious Iced Thai Tea ever, which is not sold at Sevel Indonesia. Boy, was she not kidding: i tasted what could be the best Thai tea ever! And it merely cost you 18 baht! Definitely made my day! I haven't tasted any better Iced Thai Tea ever since. I grabbed my dinner at Subway for 29 baht.

Anyway, I finally met Gina and Nana and we headed to Bangla Road, considered as the most lively district in Phuket at night. By lively, I mean these:








A few pics I got on my cam. The rest is history (actually, I prefer to keep it to myself).

On Breaking Up (Part 1)

Image
How many times have you ever had your heart "broken" because your ex(es) wanted to break up with you? How many times have you got out of a relationship/marriage leaving your ex(es) "brokenhearted" because you were the one who decided to call it quit? How many times have you parted ways with your romantic partner(s) and maintained the no-speaking terms until this very second? Love is tricky. That's what I used to think. The first time I fell in love with someone, I was in high school. Puppy love, one would say. But I don't think I should belittle, let alone disregard that experience. I honor that phase of feeling the genuine attraction and compassion romantically towards someone else for the first time. Anyway, I shall not name names, but this person that became my first love was a boy. Obviously, I was (and still am, the last time I checked) gay. The boy (who I assumed straight and is married now to a woman and they have two beautiful kids) (yes, I s

Confession of Many Married Men

Image
I look up to the ceiling where the van is blowing what I'd consider an oasis in this humid room. Through its rather slow clockwise whirling, I can spot a significant amount of dark stain glued on the blades. It's the dust that has been there for years. The dust that has kept all the secrets of everyone that enters the room. I turn my head to the left side. My eyes lay on the body sleeping by my side. I'm staring at the defined back muscle beautifying his toned body. His bare bum looks smooth for someone with hairy chest. I suspect he waxes. Well with the rate he charges, he should be able to afford a high-maintenance ass. My alarm rings off. I better get dressed and go home. My wife promised to cook my favorite dinner tonight.

Reinventing Yourself

Image
I do not believe in clean slate. We need to accept and embrace the past in order for us to move forward without anything holding us back. We may think that we have forgotten, that we have gotten over the past, while in fact, our soul never forgets. Do not belittle our ability to remember every single experience that spans throughout our existence in this infinite universe. We can fool ourselves by pretending to believe that we cannot recall the unpleasant memories. But who are we kidding? Our soul knows best. That is to say that we can fully move forward ONLY AFTER we have fully embraced whatever happened in the past. Forgetting is running away. Forgetting is allowing the past to haunt us for the rest of our lives. Reinventing oneself is taking a different approach in life while, at the same time, accepting that our past experiences had to happen in order for us to be who we truly are. If only we learned the lesson. The heart stores everything.
