Back from Bangkok, Thailand

Hey. I know this has been long overdue but now is the only time I got the chance to write. So here goes. Before I left last Friday, Ryan sent me a short story and it was great. I fell in love with him all over again. It's true what Lindsey Strauss said that she loved the mind from which Lucas' book sprang from. Because that's exactly how I felt for Ryan's writings.

Anyway, back to the trip to Thailand, we waited at the airport for more or less two hours then we left. I was so hungry on the plane, good thing they had food. The last time I went to Bangkok, there was no food on the plane. Because it was Cebu Pacific. Hahaha. :) Now it's PAL. I loved the food, can you believe that? I guess it's because I was so hungry, I could appreciate anything. Hahaha. :)

We got to Thailand and stuff at the airport went smoothly. We immediately met our tour guide, Lan, and he sent us to our specific hotels while he waited for the others who lost their baggage. Good thing we didn't lose ours. :) I was more than pleased with the hotel because the last time I was in Bangkok, I was more than disappointed. The hotel we booked sucked big time and the bed - oh! I don't even want to think about it. Haha. :)

We shopped a lot and went to see some of the golden buddha's. We also went to the leather factory which I wasn't able to visit the first time I was there. Apparently, I was doomed to return to the Gems Gallery because it's mandatory for all tourists to go there. This time, there were no irritating salespeople because they were all busy catering to the overflowing number of tourists since it's peak season. :)

We shopped a lot more. Sigh. I love shopping. It makes me feel like I have so much to spend with so little time and only so much energy to make use of to carry all the stuff we bought. Going back to the hotel means resting time/shower time/sleeping time. Then off again to shop!!!

I loved being there for shopping and a little bit of touring but I was sad because I missed him so much. That's when I realized that I never want to be that far away from him again. Someday, I want to go back there with him so we can shop together and maybe he can carry all my stuff!!! Hahaha!!! :)

Our last day arrived and as soon as I woke up, I took a bath and headed down to the buffet. Afterwhich, I rested again then went straight to the airport for our 1:50pm Bangkok time flight only to find out that it has been delayed and delayed again, and again. We left Bangkok at almost 6pm already. We wasted our entire day at the airport instead of shopping for even more cheap stuff!!!

I'm glad my time there wasn't that wasted because we met some cool girls from the Phils. as well and we instantly became friends despite our age gap. :) Their names are Mardee and Malou. :) We talked a lot and I guess it has been the start of a great friendship since we decided to keep in touch by exchanging phone numbers and e-mail addresses. :)

We arrived home past 10pm, exhausted but excited to show Lolo and Mama and Adjie the stuff we bought for them. Slept really late but excited to see Ryan the following day for our 4th Monthsary. :)

I missed him so much. I heard my mom and dad are planning to go back but I guess I won't be coming along because I don't want to be far away from Ryan again. Aww. I just love him a lot and I hope his love for me would never change - no matter what. :)
