BANGKOK, THAILAND 2: @ THE MARKET

-part 2 of Bangkok Trip

Our first travel together was so much fun. And I admit we were missing someone then. It was actually a month to be celebrated. It was our birth and anniversary month. I turned 40 and it was our 15th.

My daughter had her staycation in our hotel (we stayed in Novotel Bangkok Platinum Pratunam) She has to wait for me to finish my training before we could go out and explore Bangkok.

I went to Bangkok to have a week of work-related training and our only chance to go around Bangkok is in the afternoon from 5pm onwards. It is just good to note that our Hotel is in the middle of the Bangkok shopping area and nearby good tourist spots/ attractions.

We travel a day before the training and we arrived early in the morning, we had to take a nap first and then we wander the whole day. We first went to the new mall, The Market. During the time of our visit, most of the stores are not yet open however, we had fun, the experience was good, and it was a nice mall where I think everything that you need as a tourist could be found and you could enjoy the structure and the atmosphere. In our five days' stay in Bangkok, we visited "The Market" five times.

Here are some pictures of our "The Market" escapade:

We had much on the day of our Market escapade but of course, we end it with a Mister Donut pose.

Stay tuned for the last part of our Bangkok Trip. Have a nice day!

Kaulayaw

Kaulayaw is a Tagalog word for "close companion". And, as a coffee drinker, coffee is always my "kaulayaw" when doing something or just thinking of anything. But do you know that there is actually a coffee shop named "Kaulayaw Cafe"? I only have known it through my sister. It is shown on her vlog/youtube channel. You can watch it here : The Kaulayaw Cafe is located along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo City. It has a very nice interior resonant with the kind of cafes or restaurants you can find in Tagaytay or in Baguio. The third floor has an open-air dining area where guests could feel the unruffled waft and they could also immerse in the green scenery of Rizal Province as well as the skyline of Metro Manila. The Cafe serves coffee made of coffee beans from Mountain Province such as in Sagada and Benguet and they also have their own blend the “ Kaulayaw ”. Coffee pouches and other coffee accessories are also available f

Moving on with "The Song of Achilles"

(Daughter's POV #3) I have been very fond of Greek gods & goddesses, myths, stories, etc. ever since I was introduced to it. So to find ‘The Song of Achilles’ delighted the “fan” in me. When I first saw the title, I thought it would only be how Achilles proved how he was the best. It was kind of true, but it also gave me, the reader, more. So when the book arrived, I immediately flipped off the first page introducing me to a new world that would make me question, cry, and reach out to a love I found in the book. Patroclus’ life was what the book showed first. He was Achilles’ “ philtatos” as what Achilles answered when asked who Patroclus was. His life as a young boy seeking for his father’s validation really got me. He thought of himself as less than average, and it hurt me that someone so young could really think like that of himself. He was a prince too. Just how bad it is to be put in a situation where you have to be “man” so young just to prove yourself worth

MALIBU RISING

Malibu Rising. (Made my blood pressure rise too, I think.) (Daughter's POV #5) For my first July read, of course, it was another work from Taylor Jenkins-Reid. I am just so obsessed with how she writes and how I get immersed with it. And, Malibu Rising did not disappoint me. This book might just be my favorite novel written by TJR. The drama, the love, revelations, and confessions just makes this book such a masterpiece. With each page I read, I actually find myself daydreaming as if I am also part of the story. How I feel and connect with each character- especially Nina. How this book tackled her relationship with her father was just heartbreaking. All her life her father was absent, and then he showed up out of nowhere, earned her trust and love, left again for another woman, then showed up years later because he’s already old, lonely, and needs his “family” and their “forgiveness.” The anger and sadness just mixed and my emotions were literally all over the place. How proud I
