*Warning! This entry contains Thai political rant at the very end.* Here we are, another airport, another day. It’s Phuket International now, waiting to head back home to Bangkok from a 3-day of bliss. So far it’s been a whirlwind trip. We landed in Bangkok on Saturday around 11:30. Later that evening, I went to Homecoming at my school, Mater Dei Institute. I met my friends at the gate while I was waiting for Tong. We went in, and all was good. Our class of 1995 had the most attendance and apparently we won an award for that. I’m sure...

Hello from Taipei Airport! Brandon and I have 3 hours to kill to board the plane to Bangkok. We walked the airport end to end to kill time and, well, stretch our legs out. We found Hello Kitty playground and daycare. It is 5 a.m. and nobody else made it out this way from their flights yet. I was very tempted to go play on the slide thingy. Haha. Obviously nothing is open so we finally had to settle down at our gate. However, I must say that life in the transit lounge is so much better with a laptop...

We have been busting out our credit cards a little bit too often these few months. But all for the things we do need and we’re willing to eat Top Ramen for a while for. First was my commuter comfort purchases. My lovely red briefcase got here today. I’m going to adore its candy red shell for a few more weeks before slapping on one of my Emily the Strange stickers. Hehee. Then was the birthday party. Instead of me cooking, we ordered a party pack from Naples Rib Company. To our surprise, for $100 from Naples can feed about...

I’m blogging from Olaina’s lovely pink Dell in their lovely apartment in the lovely San Diego. :) That up there was from the train on my way down, somewhere around Solana Beach. This is the beginning of the 3-night, 3-day trip of fun and learning. My CSS training starts here at their apartment tomorrow at 9. At about that same time, Justin and Olaina will be finding out about where he’s going for residency. Friday, I repeat the drill with the class and then Saturday Brandon comes down to get me. Yey. I escaped the Early Meeting unscathed for the...

I should have known things were never going to be the same again after Hawaii. (Oh, and the photos are up. I haven’t organized them with tags or caption yet though.) This was our first REAL vacation together since we got married. The fact that we could (kind of) afford it and that we decided to leave town on somewhat of a whim was new. I think that decision might have sent out the disturbance into the universe and therefore screwing things up for everyone. Why did I say that? Here are some proofs: A few days before we left,...

Aloha, gang. We’re back on the mainland. And today, we took a vacation from our vacation. We slept in, stayed in, and went out for our massages. Hmm…hot stone therapy. We had an overall great time. I wish I didn’t have to play the tour director the entire trip, but that is what you have when we have one really out of towner in the midst. Dad had a great time too, I hope. The Couch Monkey Adventures album is up and running. That alone should give you an idea from our trip. As I am still giving myself a...
