Bangkok Street Food

One of the things I love best about Bangkok is their cuisine that you can enjoy on the streets! Hawkers and stalls line up at dinner time and gives you not just an array of delectable dishes that are cooked right in front of you as you order, but also the experience of seeing how it's cooked and at the same time, dining near hustling cars and the sounds of tuktuks near you.

Let me share some of those dishes that I have tried on my second trip to Thailand last 2018

Pad Thai

Thai Fried Pork Belly with Bean Sprouts

Thai Fried Rice

Spicy Pork with Thai Basil

Green Papaya Salad

Red Hot Kentucky Fried Chicken (The red breading gives you an idea how spicy it is right?)

Never Stop Dining!

Brave Little Dove - Timeless Thursdays 28

A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed the cloudy and cool early morning at the comforts of my garden. I set up a stool on near my plants and just relaxed on a beautiful damp but cozy day. And then a visitor came! I am a very hyper person and whenever I move, I don't move with such ease that no birds just come close to me, except for that day. I don't have an SLR with me and all I had was my old iPhone 7+ but glad I had it with me because I did not expect such a brave little dove to come close.

When I started taking pictures of it from afar (hopefully explains my zoomed in photo which is not so clear) I was also humming a happy song for it because I was really happy to be that close for the first time. I am hoping my friends Kenneth, Phil, and David would be a little proud of me of this encounter. I have always been fascinated by their birding blogs and known so much about birds and species that I did not know before. I still don't know much about Philippine birds but they inspire me to have at least a little knowledge of our avian friends.

See my little friend?

This is where he first perched, at the back of my Manila palm right in front of my chair. I was so happy and I kept talking to him. He seems to be a bit cold because it rained so hard. I thought of buying a bird house after this encounter so they can take shelter on rainy days but I can't see one online nor I have the skills to build one.

Zebra doves are very common in our area and we locally call them with the name "batu-bato", bato in Tagalog / Filipino means stone because they can freeze and not move themselves like stone.

Sun started rising so he moved over to catch its rays

Super happy to have this encounter. I know it's nothing much but it was very moving for me to be so upclose to this friend of mine. I hope he visits again soon and that I can sing a song for him again when he does.

City of Dreams Manila - Timeless Thursdays 27

It makes me so much at awe whenever I look at these pictures from 5 years ago with me having lots of hair! HAHA I started to have my hair declining in the past couple of years. It still gets longer but on a very slower pace but it's too thin that I just want to buzz it off again because it looks too thin and my scalp is already showing. But I'm not saying this because I feel depressed about my hair, it's just that I felt like a completely different person now without lots of it haha.

Here is a simple weekend I celebrated with my friends' family when they went on a Casino trip in Manila. I did not play but I had an amazing time seeing City of Dreams with my high school pals.

Located at a 6.2 hectare area of the Entertainment City of Aseana Avenue, Paranñaque City is City of Dreams Manila, the first and only Philippine franchise of this multinational luxury resort and casino complex.

Lea, R-Jay and Myrcel are par of my Circle of friends. We have been classmates since Kindergarten up until High School. So we are literally like brothers and sisters and we stuck together up until now.

Right after all the games and the winnings, the fun just never stops and sent us all the way to Army Navy at Blue Bay Walk in Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City. It was so much happiness and fun! I can't wait for our next Casino trip with this family.
