Salad Buffet @ Nimman Bar, Chiangmai, Thailand

My favorite nights are Mondays and Fridays while I'm still here in Chiangmai. Why? Because of the "SALAD BUFFET". Yes. Nimman Bar @ Kantary Hills Hotel in Chiangmai has this salad nights. Buffet is available until 10:00 pm so, on our breaks (between sets) we try to grab a little of it.

During these nights we, the CHILL DUETTE, try to offer some "smooth" music for the guests. We want our guests to experience a "light" feeling while having these healthy greens.




The cozy Nimman Bar

DOI SUTHEP TEMPLE in Chiangmai, Thailand

Some of the pictures when we were in Doi Suthep Temple in Chiangmai.

The cheapest and easiest way to find this temple is to get to the Chiangmai Zoo first.
There... you will find some taxi "tuktuk" packaging a trip to Doi Suthep.   We have paid only 100baht for a two-way trip (up to the mountain and down).  Each tuktuk should have a minimum of 10 passangers to get rolling.  The tuktuk package offers some more places to visit in Doi Suthep.  The driver will wait for you for a couple of hours.  We spent more than one hour exploring the place.  (We enjoyed the overlooking sight of Chiangmai).




ADDICTION IN COCONUT

There is one thing that was added to my addiction...( LOL).  Coconut.  Yeah.  I just don't know but it is like I'm always craving for its meat and water, as in everyday.  My day is not complete until i have eaten this fruit.  A good habit i guess, i have read a lot of things about it on the net.  This fruit is packed with lots of health benefits.  It has been my replacement for sugar cravings.  I can have it everyday in Chiangmai because there is a little store selling fruits nearby our place.  I was very happy finding it in Tops Supermarket, Laemtong while we were in Rayong renewing our visa.

Whew! What a Day-OFF!

January 1, 2009. First day of the year. 


Luckily, it fell on our day-off which means.... FREEDOM! 

Woke up a bit late, had lunch at Nimman Bar & Restaurant and off we go to our NOT-SURE destination. For me and Jojo, day-off is always a "WORK-OUT" day be it walking by pleasure, badminton, going to the gym etc. etc.. I told him he would like it at Doi Suthep Temple, (the famous temple in Chiangmai), he agreed to me but since we are "greenhorns" here, we had a hard-time finding transportation means. We spent lots of minutes waiting, bargaining... and no one wants to drive that far unless we pay 500 baht (oooohhh too much! and that's because we don't have the thai accent they think we are thick pockets) till we decided to just visit the zoo because our time is running out and it would take more couple of minutes just to get to the top of the mountain where the temple is.

Again, because we don't have the Thai accent, (LOL), we bought our ticket for the "foreigner's price" (unfair!). It's OK, its just a hundred baht. So, we started to walk, run and struggle for the inclined steps, i can hardly catch my breath (it's more than going to the gym though!). It was a great zoo, we enjoyed the tiger more than anything.  


We we're lost in Chiangmai zoo and both worn out, then suddenly my phone rang... It was the GM Magrin, asking us if we can play for the big boss' private party in his Chiangmai house.  (and how can i say NO?  he is so special and it is not everyday that he ask this small favor.  So, I agreed and we got our asses off the zoo and rushed home.  Whew!  We we're as fast as the lightning,  we made it 10 min. before 7pm.  

I was amazed by the beautiful place my boss have.  The party was set-up in the middle part of the compound beside a small water reservoir with a small boat, surrounded by trees.  Only a few special guests, his family and relatives and some management staff of Kantary Hills.  My boss was so nice and we feel comfortable with him.  Late in the night he jammed with us and as we expected he started playing his favorite songs.  After a few folk songs, then we call it a night. 

1st of January was a busy and fun day for us.  Is it gonna be a whole year?  Hmmm not bad.

WE JUST SAW ONG BAK 2

Thursday, our day off.  I wish I could spend the whole day in bed where I live (LOL), but Jojo wanted to go for a walk, he said we needed some exercise.  He even pulled me out of bed, forced my feet to my rubber shoes and drag me off the door.  We walked all the way to the mall downtown.  He always admired Tony Jaa, the thai martial arts star.  He asked me if we can see his movie Ong Bak 2 and I agreed.   The system in a Thai cinema is very much different with the Philippine style where you can stay for as long as you want inside the cinema and even sleep.  In Thailand it is very organized.  There's a scheduled time for each movie and when you buy a ticket you can choose where to sit.  After the movie everybody will be forced to stand up and get off the hall.


Ong Bak 2  is such a great movie.  The story was all about the Thai tribes back in 1400s, power grabbing etc.  All is fighting and revenge.  Tony Jaa's parents were killed by a man in power and the young master was chased by its man.  He managed to escape from them and later was trained by the leader of the bandits and choose him later to be his successor but since the leader knew that he always had something in mind that bothers him.  He told him to finish it first then come back to him if he's already done.  Only to find out that it was him (the leader of the bandits) was the one to be accomplished.  Tony Jaa had a hard time doing his revenge because he had a big respect for the man and treated him like a real father.

The sound and effects was perfect.  The only thing that we noticed is the romance part of the movie.  The leading lady and Tien (Tony Jaa) didn't have a chance to talk to each other again (or maybe in the story they were merely friends).  It's "BITIN" as we call it in the Philippines.  Anyhow, Tony Jaa is no doubt very good in his martial arts move.  His legs was so strong and it's amazingly fast and he is CUTE! lol

You must see this movie it's awesome!






Christmas Eve in Kantary Hills Chiangmai

24 december, 2008.  

Never thought that i would spend this night here in Chiangmai, just thought it's going to be the usual xmas eve in Rayong with all the gimicks. Prior to this day, i was told that there's gonna be a Thai choral group to start the night rolling.  I want to compliment the choral group composed of 30 high schoold students for their good singing.  I wasn't expecting it to be that good, everyone was impressed.  

They sang a couple of songs and was really impressed with the harmony.  It brought me back to my high school days in Binan, Laguna.  

Dinner was served after the choral singing and yours truly did the rest of the singing until midnight.

Erap in Hell
Dumating ang panahon in the future na namatay na si Erap at pumunta and kaluluwa sa impiyerno.

Erap: Di pa dapat akong mamatay. Ang nanay ko nga, mahigit 100 taon nabuhay bago pumanaw.
Satanas: Ay! Oo nga, me pagkakamali. ayon dito, dapat mabubuhay ka pa ng 20 taon. Pero dahil namatay ka na at nandito na, di ka na pwede pang bumalik sa lupa.

Erap: Papaano ngayon, maghihirap ako dito dahil sa isang pagkakamali?
Satanas. Ang tanging paraan na lamang ay pumili ka ng iyon kaparusahan. Ngunit ang taong papalitan mo ang siyang makababalik lang uli sa lupa.

Dinala siy Erap sa unang kwarto at nakita niya si Marcos, lubog sa tubig hanggang leeg. Tapos, sisisid uli at lulutang uli, kinakapos ang hininga. Tapos, sisisid uli.

Erap: Ayaw ko niyan. Alam kong swimmer si Ferdie at saka di rin ako marunong lumangoy.

Dinala siya sa pangalawang kwarto. Nakita niya si Ramos, nakagapos sa kama ang kamay at paa. At habang nakabuka, sinususo ni Rosanna Roces si Fidel at masayang masaya ang mukha nito.

Erap: Hmmmmm, okey na to! At least maligaya ako at laging nasasarapan. Okey, ito ang aking pipiliin.

Satanas: Okey kung ganon. "Rosanna, makababalik ka na sa lupa. Si Erap na ang papalit sa iyo!" wabert

Kabado ka ba?

Tanong sakin ng GM Magrin kung kabado ako. "NO" i replied. "No problem for you, yes?" ask nya. "Oh yes! it is something special of course but i'm confident we can. This is not the frst time, though. My pleasure to sing for the Princess."

Bday mo eh!

Dec. 15, 2008 minutes to midnight and my birthday is approaching. Tapos na kaming ngumawa. Malamig ng konti dito sa Chiangmai that night. Feeling ko parang ang layo layo ko talaga... sa family... sa friends. Isa lang ang kasama ko wala namang ibang choice... si Jojo, my ever loyal guitarist. Hindi ako masyadong particular about "birthdays", hindi ako masyadong ma-celebrate like others. Isa lang ang naaalala ko during this day... my mother. Binibilang ko ang oras and pinipilit kong ibalik ang sarili ko during that night ng isilang ako. About 11:30 pm, december 15, 1975, siguro naghihirap na ang nanay ko sa mga contractions nya by this time. I know the pain of course, i've kids. It was a tough delivery daw, nagdilim ang mundo ng nanay ko. So, yun lang. Thankful ako sa kanya, sa lahat ng paghihirap nya and for loving me this much. I know she's thinking of me too somewhere in the night. Alam ko naman na those who loved me ay naalala rin ako. I really appreciate Bethlog calling me from China, kahit na malayo sya hindi nya ako nalimutan. Kathy for the text, kay J.M. sa hi-5, kay Larry from US, kay Troy from Australia...andito si Paul sa Chinagmai kaso busy na sya sa kanyang little boy, at sa lahat ng mga friends ko na nakaalala sa friendster at sa staff ng Kanary lalo na kay Pu...to my kids at sa aking asawa, para sa ka-emote emote na message sa Chikka. Kay Jojo na rin, na buong araw na ipinaaalala sakin ang aking beersday.

So balik ako sa story kaya ako nagpost nito. Something funny for me that i want to remember. Hindi ko malaman kung paano palilipasin itong araw na to. Hassle naman may work. Dati, nilalango ko ang aking sarili sa alak at sigarilyo. Noon yun. Malaki na ang pinag-iba ko ngaun. Matagal tagal na rin akong hindi lasinggera ewan ko ba pero parang nawalan na ako ng gana. Last night nga tinanong ako ng Japanese naming staff dito sa hotel about hanging out and drinking... sagot ko "Occasionally". Yosi? Wala na rin. Graduate na ko dyan. Been 8 moths na since i stopped. That's my changing... and that's my gift to myself and to my kids. Since the day na naaksidente si Dennis I've realized how fragile life is... and how important is my health to my kids. Careful na rin ako sa mga kinakain ko, salamat din sa influence ni Jojo sa buhay ko for clean living. Bumait ako at natutunan kong mahalin ang sarili ko. Matabang mataba ako ngayon pero like quitting cigarette... susunod ko syang iwork-out.

So eto na, we're on our way to our rooms... sabi nya "Mam birthday mo na celebrate natin to, inom tayo!" I replied, "AY! lam mo naman hindi ako interesado sa alak ngayun i can celebrate this night for a cup of green tea... mas gusto ko pa magdetoxify... pero kung gusto mo ok ibibili kita ng beer... kaw na lang uminom... Teka... nasan ang gift ko????...". "Ay oo nga no?" sabi nya. "Sige yung bibilhin mong beer babayaran kita tapos yun ang gift ko sayo. Teka nasan naman ang handa mo? dapat may handa ka kasi may regalo ako sayo..." Sabi ko "eh di yung beer! yun ang handa ko! Ganito yun, bibili ako ng beer, babayran mo ko kasi regalo mo yun sakin, ihahanda ko naman ang beer para sayo kasi ikaw ang bisita ko at ikaw ang iinom ng handa ko"... Teka parang quits lang ah! Walangya ka!.... at nagkatawanan kami ng malakas on our way to 7-11. May gift ako sayo... sabi nya.

Ang ending... nalasing ang Jojo at LAUGHING TRIP sya and he turned out to be SUPERKULIIIT....Habang ako naman ay nagbabasa ng magazine about God at humihigop ng lumalamig kong green tea. Sabi ko kay Jojo "Happy Birthday!" mukhang nag-enjoy ka.

STRONG WOMAN

It was our Thank You Party. Natapos ko na ang 3 kanta, ang finale ko ay 'I'M ALIVE' ni Celine Dion. Ang gimik... lilibutin ko ang mga guests to feed their mood for dancing, while singing this song. Went to my close friends siempre... Jenny and Bryan, Dr. Sinchai, Rosy & Tuktik (who's always been there), siempre kay Kathy lapit din ako. I was really happy having been surrounded with my dearest friends siempre present si Migel. Hay... parang yun ang birthday ko... Nasuyod ko na ang crowd sa right side, I went to the left side siempre nakasunod sa lola mo ang spotlight (kuno) and the camera... Na-spotan ko ang couple na very sweet na umiindayog sa side na iyon. It was dark pero nakilala ko ang guy, one of our guests sa hotel. I was a bit shocked habang nabubuo ang image ng face ng girl.... aw kilala ko sya. She looked so SEXY with that silky green dress. Alam kong darating sya kasi nag-email sya sakin but I didn't expect her to REALLY dress that much or BARELY DRESSED up. I smiled, and danced with them while singing. Right after my song... tried to find her and when I get to her I said "look who's here?" ... WOW! you look sooooo nice!. Held her hands, a kiss on her cheek and press her hands and asked her... HOW ARE YOU? When i looked at her i know it wasn't a sincere answer when she said "IM OK". What i saw was BITTERNESS....

Naawa ako. Totoo. Everybody knows her in the hotel. Many of us know the story. That story. I wasn't that close to her, as a matter of fact, asar na asar ako sa kanya noon for some reason (akin na lang yun). Pero ngayon, what i felt about her is real... simpatiya. Yes. That is the most na maibibigay ko sa kanya at sa kanyang little boy. Kahit na halos everyday syang nag-eemail sakin, iba pa rin ng nakita ko sya. Party is party. Inuman, libre kasi. Magulo. Maingay. But amidst all that naagaw nya ang atensyon ng marami. She even danced up the stage like dirty dancing... feel mo na nagwawala sya and she doesn't care kung sinuman ang kasayaw nya or sinuman ang tumitingin sa kanya. Even my friend from Australia ay na-attract sa kanyang looks and dance movements... Hindi kasi nila alam. Pero ako, I know exactly what's going on.

Nasabi ko sa sarili ko na "STRONG" pala ako. Kasi hindi ako masyadong dumidepende sa mga bagay bagay or sa isang tao. Pag nasa kin ang isang bagay, minamahal ko talaga. Inaalagaan at ibinibigay ang lahat ng kaya kong ibigay bagay man o kaibigan habang nandyan. I've learned not to depend too much to a thing na meron ka, because you can lose everything overnight. Hindi ako madaling maniwala, that's my problem, sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ko nakadepende ako sa ORAS. THERE'S ALWAYS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING. WEATHER WEATHER LANG YAN. If it's too good to be true then its really not. Sweetests can lead to DIABETES. LOL. pero masarap.

Hindi ko sya masisisi kung nagwawala sya. There's just too much to let out. Sige lang. May kanya kanya tayong ways para magrelease ng EMOTIONS. Ako, when i want to shout talaga kukuha ako ng unan at susubsob ako saka ako sisigaw ng malakas or I will call a friend... para mabreak ko ang emotions ko. She wanted to send a message to everyone that night. Ang hirap naman kasi ng kalagayan nya. Pero ako, she made it straight to me just by the looks in her eyes. I felt the pain at kung pwede lang mag-magic ako para mawala yung pain na yun from her. But i felt helpless, all i can do is to smile at her as if telling her that "everything will be ok". We had a small talk that night. Hindi ko rin mapigilan ang sarili ko para icomfort sya kahit papano. Sabi ko "I don't really believe na ganon sya kasama. I know him. He talked to me before he left. Hindi nya talaga sinasadya. Mahal nya kayo. Meron lang talagang dahilan. I hope soon that understanding comes to you. " Then i saw the tears, gusto ko rin umiyak pero walang lumabas na luha he hehe. Ewan ko kung bakit. Whatever. Isa lang ang nasa isip ko masyado na akong na-involve kaya tama na. Bahala na sa kanila si Jesus.

There are so many lessons na natutunan ko about life at this time of my life. Mamayang midnight birthday ko na so, siguro mas magmature pa ang isip ko. Life can be so cruel sometimes kung masyado mong i-aatach ang sarili mo dito. But as I believed now.... regret no past. From your past you learned. It is always your choice... it's always YOU and not anybody who should live your life. Don't let anyone or anything live your life for you. Kasi it's your life. It's your purpose. Nasa iyo kung gusto mong itreasure ang isang bagay. Wala namang masama. I had my share of love, happiness, sorrows, bitterness, tragic moments... lahat ng yan... naramdaman ko na. Marami akong friends na minsan kong minahal... wala na sila... ok lang. Good memories still makes me smile, sometimes makes me miss them a lot. Pero memories na lang yun. Chapter closed na.

Sabi nga ni Paul everybody has a book of life. Every pages of my book andun silang lahat. Binabalik balikan ko lang minsan feeling grateful for being part of my life no matter how bad or how sad or how joyful it has been with them. Sa mga pangyayari sa buhay mo doon ka nag-go-grow. Hindi na mahalaga kung ano ang nangyari ang mahalaga ay ang mga susunod mo pang gagawin.

"It doesn't matter where you've been it is where you're going."

Salamat sa lahat ng nakaalala sa birthday ko.

Isa lang ang wish ko.... GOOD LIFE FOR MY KIDS.

"MY BOYFRIEND IS SUCH A SPENDER."

Three days ago, nahuli na naman ako ng aming Sales Manager na nuknukan ng ganda habang humihigop ng lumamig na green tea sa pinakasulok na chair sa Nimman Bar during our first break. "Hi! How are you?" sabi nya sakin... "Oh I'm good just a bit sick maybe because of this weather." sabi ko.

After talking about issues on waeather, siempre napunta na kami sa topic na gusto nya. "My Filipino Boyfriend". Yes mga bakla. Thai sya. Maganda. Napakaganda. Nabihag sa isang Filipino na ang pangalan ay RENE. Nagtrabaho sya sa Philippines for 2 years as part of Thailand Tourism or something. Doon nya nakilala si Rene at doon nya natikman ang bagsik ng pinoy kaya ayun di na nya malimutan. Pero itong si Maganda ay maraming issues about their relationship. Distance. Time. Culture. Religion.

Sa twing makikita ko sya, nag-tu-twinkle talaga ang mata nya sa paggdaluhong sakin at para magkwento ng magkwento as if nakikita nya ang sister ni Rene kasi pinay ako at ubusin ang oras ko kaya minsan ang kawawang si Jojo ang napapasalang sa buong 45 minutes sa pag-ngawa. Ewan ko siguro nag-eenjoy din akong kausap sya or talagang tinatamad na lang akong kumanta.
Eto na sabi nya "Ria, I think my boyfriend is such a spender!" Sabi ko naman "Why?" She said "I don't know but when I was in the Philippines he took me to those expensive restaurants! He spent too much! I don't understand I think he's a spender and he's not wise for money. Then I remember one time, I wanted to cook some thai food for him and I ask him if i can go to market to buy some vegetables but he refused to agree as if it's such a big thing."

Ay alam ko na. This is something that she doesn't understand about Pinoys. Aminin nyo man o hindi tayong mga pinoy may pagka-utak "ewan". Andami nating kaartehan sa katawan. Pag medyo may laman ang wallet hindi mo mapapakain sa tabi tabi or turo turo. Lalo na pag may kasamang chick. "Maybe you're just so special to him that's why he's trying to impress you or make you feel really good." that't what i told her. Later, inexplain ko sa kanya ang differences ng Thai at Pinoy. Dito kasi sa Thailand mayaman o mahirap kumakain sa tabi tabi. Sa Pinas pag kumakain ka sa gotohan parang "Cheap mo naman!" Oh di ba?. Ganyan tayo. Pero dito sa Thailand lahat ng tao mayaman o mahirap malaya silang nakakakain sa tabi tabi ng walang "dume-degrade" sa pagkatao nila. Hindi kasi sila ganon. Kahit sa Fashion, it doesn't matter kung saan mo binili ang blouse mo. Kahit mayayaman, namimili sa "Talad" (public market). Signature or local pareho lang dito sa Thailand. Walang mangangantyaw sayo. Kaya naman enjoy lahat dito pagdating sa fashion. Wala nga ako masyadong nakikitang naka- Levis dito... puro Loy Kao Kao or Baht199 ang mga jeans ng gurlash dito. Kaya sa Thailand walang mahirap, kasi pagdating sa pagka-practical sa buhay game sila. Naeenjoy nila ang fashion without hurting their pockets too much. Kakain sila anywhere without compromising their morals in life. Hindi naman talaga mahalaga yun. Ang mahalaga lang naman is "hygiene", mag-iingat ka sa kakainin mo at gagamitin mong utensils kasi hepatitis is out and available. Instead of spending too much, nagse-save sila ng money so later na-eenjoy pa nila ang much greater rewards of saving. Nakaka-afford na sila later on para bumili ng car.

Meaning... si Lolo Rene is not a really a spender. Pinoy sya. Yun na. Kakantyawan sya ng tropa kung ang Ms. Universe nyang syota ay pakakainin nya sa eatery, pababayaan nyang maputikan sa palengke echetera echetera.

Pag lumabas ka ng Pinas, makikita mo ang marami nating mali kaya ayan left behind tayo. Nakakalungkot isipin dati developing country.... ngayun.... nasaan na tayo? Kailangan pa naming mangibang bansa hu hu hu para makaraos sa buhay. Haaaayyy bayan kong Pilipinas...

HINDI AKO MAKATULOG!

Ewan ko ba kung bakit naman sa ka-adikan ko sa kape at tsa eh hindi pa ako nadala, eto, pambihira dilaaat na dilaaat pa ang mata ko... 1:30 na ng umaga, ang diskuhan sa tapat ng hotel na tinuugtugan ko ay sarado na at malamang si Jojo ay hagok na ang tumbong at nasa ika-syam na alapaap na kasama si Claudia Koronel, he he. pero eto pa rin ako... nagsusulat ng post na ito. Wala lang.

Lately kasi medyo bumalik na naman ang pagka-adik ko sa kape. Pamalit sa Yosi na tinigilan ko na 6 months ago. Oh di ba ansaya saya hindi na ako adik sa Yosi. Sarap gumising sa umaga, maluwag ang dibdib (kasi walang bra este...)... Nabasa ko kasi sa internet madali raw makarecover ang baga ng tao.. so its never too late to stop smoking. Tama na yung nalasahan ko sya di ba? I really stopped.

Hmp! Akala ko naman ala-Baguio itong Chiangmai. Mainit ngaun ha! in fairness... Sabi ng matanadang fanatic namin ni Jojo 4 days ago daw bago kami dumating dito sa Chiangmai ay super lamig daw... kainis... pero i remember 3 days ago ata... malamig sya ha... pagkatapos ng set namin wala akong pangginaw na dala nakakapanginig ng jingel ha....

Meron akong pocketbook dito nanenok ko sa hotel... DONT LET HER SEE ME CRY ang title... sa pamagat pa lang mukhang nakakahomesick na... aw ayokong umpisahan... baka maghanap ako ng yosi after... LOL. Nakakatamad na rin sa intenet ... friendster... hmp.. di ko naman gusto yung isang nagview sakin... pero ok lang nagpapapansin eh di pansinin kawawa naman. Birthday ko naman kaya OK na rin... at saka malapit nang mag-end ang year. Wish ko lang for her or him ay PEACE. Ooooops.... sana makalimot na sya kasi sa totoo lang wala na sakin yun. Masaya na ako sa mga friends ko... at wala nang mahalaga ngaun sakin kundi ang aking PAMILYA. oh di ba?.... ay... eto na nahohomesick na ko! STOP! Basta miss ko talaga sila... hu hu hu sabi ko na nga ba... ayan... kasi naman...

God bless my family please ilayo mo po sila sa masasamang isip at iligtas mo po sila sa lahat ng hindi magandang pangyayari. Kahit po hindi ako masyadong malakas sa Inyo. Basta ingatan Nyo po sila... Love u kids! Promise.

I will try to sleep na.... until next post pag sinipag ako magsulat sa diary kong ito. Ishare ko sa inyo kung gano kagulo ang isip ng isang SINGER na kagaya ko. Haaayyy
