our last big touring day was saved for the damnoen saduak floating market. located about 70 miles south of bangkok in ratchaburi, the damnoen saduak floating market is the largest and most popular market if its kind. we arrived at the market at around 9am and rented a traditional paddle boat (instead of those noisy motorized longboats) for the tour. we leisurely floated along the different canals

no bangkok trip is complete without a visit to the bangkok grand palace. located in the heart of the city, the grand palace is a compound of dazzling, ornate structures and the home of the emerald buddha temple. it was quite a busy monday at the palace. crowds of visitors lined-up to tour the complex. we sneaked NANE into the attraction with a yellow polo shirt (commemorating the king's 60th

we explored the ancient temple ruins of ayutthaya after visiting the elephants. ayutthaya was the second capital of old siam from 1350 to 1767. it's located about 50 miles north of bangkok. wandering around the magical structures hand-in-hand, we became lost in time. there's just so much to see here. we paid our respects at phra mongkol bophit, spent most of our time exploring wat phra sri san

the elephants are so cool they get their own post :)we found the elephant attraction in ayutthaya after visiting phra phuttamonton (world's tallest standing buddha), bang pa-in palace and a great lunch at chatnam restaurant (jumbo river prawns!). we started out with a scenic elephant ride (20-minutes) around the ancient temple ruins (my 3rd ride, but NANE's first ever!). you feel like royalty

jatujak market is the king of markets. a jungle of excess that covers 35 acres with 15,000+ vendors selling everything under the sun. over 200,000 people visit the market here on the weekends and we were out there bumping shoulders with them that saturday afternoon. i was kinda hesitant to go to jatujak at first. the long claustrophobic streets in the market get quite hot and crowded, but the

i dreamed that i was visiting this old cave like ruin house somewhere with dad (or was it my boss BL?). we had to climb and slide through lots of tight solid-rock doorways to get inside (like an indiana jones temple adventure). on the way out, my dad had to help prop and push me through this narrow openning above the door way feet first. it was pretty tough as i got stuck in that small passageway

the 'last morning' comes quickly to us, right after the 'last night.' at 6am we woke up for breakfast and a last-roll-around-cuddle-time (there's never enough roll-around-cuddle-time). your flight leaves so early, babe! with bags packed, i send you off with 2 kisses in the cab. is this goodbye? the cab drives off slowly, and i decide to take 'sadness' for a walk around the block with

on day two we woke up extra early and waited for room service to start at 5am. we were quite famished since i slept right through dinner last night (and was talking in my sleep and tossing around all night... sorry, babe). after breakfast and more roll-around-cuddle-time, we caught a cab to bridgeclimb sydney for the 12:05 climb. at the headquarters, we checked-in, signed our safety waivers,

i seem to have alot of different 'lists' floating around these days~ my travel list, my to do list, my wish list, my eat/drink list, my naughty neko list, and the official friendship list from 2004. we're falling behind, fellas! 2 years and only 2 things completed! here's a simplified, updated list for 2006:north shore drive: completed 2005!24-hr fitness gym (at any location!)makapuu lighthouse

i dreamed that i went out to a bar somewhere alone for a drink. it was pretty packed, so i sat up at the counter and started chatting with the the regulars. as i sat down, i placed my LV wallet on the countertop. while chatting with the bar people, i turned to chat with someone behind me. but when i turn back around~ someone had taken my wallet! i started to panic: who stole my wallet? i asked

i dreamed that i was playing basketball with MT in an old school somewhere. she was not too interested in the game and was being quite sassy. a 7-foot guy suddenly entered the court from no-where and started chasing us around. MT runs and hides in a bathrooth stall. And the tall-guy gets in there with her. i run to her aid and try to break down the locked door... i punch and kick the stall door

i dreamed that i was staying in a hotel somewhere with CY. we were sleeping in two seperate rooms. i was pacing the lobby alone and worried: i have to fly back tomorrow! we don't have much time. i called-up the girl, and she says to come up. in the room she acts cold and i am sad. i decided to go back down to the lobby... we're running of time. WAKE.

i dreamed that i was walking back home to LC. from a distance, i can see her through the window slouched over the bar counter looking kinda drunk. she waves and says 'hey you,' but when i got to the door... i saw 3 previously hidden drunk guys lying on the floor around her. i guess i missed the party. i bitterly said 'hi' to everyone and shook their hands before walking straight to my room. hmmm.

in the fall of 2004, my life soundtrack was keane: hopes and fears. i was going through a messy breakup at the time (she stormed-out with all the damn tupperware one night).-we brokeup with 'we might as well be strangers'-i missed her with 'somewhere only we know'-we had a brief chance re-union with 'this is the last time'-i loathed in self-pity with 'she has no time'-we got back together with '

i dreamed that i was waiting in line for a jack johnson concert (or was it a phantom of the opera show). i went to the concert alone. as the doors opened, i made my way through the crowds and rushed to my seat up front just right of the stage. darn these cheap seats: i could hardly see the high stage! i was in seat #3. as i sat there waiting for the show to begin, LC walks in to the theater with

this post was inspired by tricia's 'growing up' post on june 14. growing up is tough when you're young and 19, but at 31 (that's me) how do you know when you're 'grown up?' it's such a simple, but deep question: how do you know when you're grown up? i feel like i've regressed in the last few years... still quite a ways from where i want to be. maybe i never changed much from those college days? i

i dreamed that i was walking in a big hotel lobby/mall with CY. we were attending a wedding (DT's?). we walked and wandered through many rooms and hallways. we passed by one room where thousands of small round gumballs of a thousand colors lay scattered all over the floor. one of the naughty kids had broken the gumball-machine in there. we avoided that room and walked on.

i dreamed that i was walking across a long empty terminal with some girl. the terminal walkway had glass walls like an airport and was located high above a large harbor. in the ultra-clear waters below, i saw a big group of blue whales swim into the harbor. i rushed to show my partner the swimming whales. we are so lucky to catch them here! we were quite excited watching them from high above.

i used to be a vanilla man. vanilla is so smooth and sweet. a great scent for the bedroom (especially with company). but after so many lost vanilla nights, i've learned to let it go. my new love is: verbena. it's so fresh and alive... i've become addicted. in reminisce, there are 3 unique scents that i miss: CY's milky lips so close to me at night, MT's gucci eau de parfum II on her neck and

i dreamed that was sitting in the living room of a house chatting with some friends. as i turned to look out the window, i saw a little girl walking on the neighbor's rooftop next door. she trots to the edge and jumps without hesitation! i was shocked and worried. we all rushed to the window to see what happened. looking out, we were surprised to see the little girl's parents in sky-diving suits

i dreamed that was i attending a credit union function at a big banquet some place. i had to help out the staff with something, but got clumsy and spilled some water all over my shirt. i quickly walked to the bathroom to clean up the mess, trying to avoid the guests on the walk. back at the main table, i sat down next to MT for dinner. she asks me if i saw CY in the crowd. she said that CY was
