Pardon for the uber slow updates. I have been busy with lots of domestic chores lately. Maybe, I’ll post entries about that some other day. But for the meantime, here’s the first entry of the most awaited Mommy’s 74th birthday celebration in Thailand and Vietnam. (Feeling ko lang na hinihintay nyo ng bonggang-bongga ang kwento ko. Pabayaan nyo na, yan ang paniniwala ko eh! Hehehe!)
As always, I’d start off my travelogue with the cast of characters. So, here we are:
Len and Candy are my friends from church/choir while the other two, you already know who they are as their pics are always posted here in my site. LOL.
Oct. 24, 2009. We were scheduled to take the 12:20 p.m. Cebu Pacific flight in Clark so we had to leave home before 6:00 am. We needed to catch the 7:00 am Philtranco Bus at the back of SM Megamall. It exclusively plies from Ortigas to Clark and cost just P300 per head.
At around 9:oo am., we reached Clark a.k.a. Diosdado Macapalagal International Airport (DMIA). Ahem! Ayaw magpatalo sa NAIA at kelangan talaga ganyan ang pangalan ng airport? And since it was too early for our flight, we had some snacks, deliberately abused the wifi connection (kaya naman updated ang status ko sa Facebook, hehehe!) and did my favorite habit… photo ops, what else?! 
I don’t know what is with flying that my Mom like so much. We see the same thing over and over again (read: just clouds) whenever inside the plane but she still prefers to look outside the window. So I tried to capture that moment. And without adjusting my old trusty digicam, I got this amazing stolen shot of her:
When she turned back on me and she told a story about a neighbor who hates flying. Here’s our conversation:
Mommy: Kilala mo si Aling (insert name here), di ba?
Winkie: Hindi.
Mommy: Kilala mo yun. Palagi yun pumupunta sa bahay eh!
Winkie: Ok fine. Oh anong meron ke Aling (insert name here)?
Mommy: Nakakwentuhan ko sya nung isang araw. Nabanggit ko na pupunta tayo ng Thailand. Bigla ba naman sinabi na ayaw daw nyang sumakay ng eroplano lalo pag umuuwi ng probinsya. Kasi daw wala naman nakikitang maganda pag nasa eroplano. Di katulad pag nakasakay sa bus eh maraming nakikita. May mga sceneries, puno, kalabaw… nakakalibang daw. Loka-loka din noh? Mas maganda kaya sa eroplano, clouds ang makikita. Wala kayang ganun pag nagbus ka.
Winkie: Korek! Kaya magulat ka ‘pag nakakita ka ng kalabaw ngayon.
Mommy: Hahaha! Oo nga noh?!
That is just one of my hilarious conversations with my Mom. There’s more. I’ll check if i could inject them in my other posts.
Anyhow, our Manila-to-Bangkok flight was smooth. At 2:35 p.m. (Thailand’s local time), we landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport. At syemps, pikchuran agad!
It was too obvious that we were already in Thailand as we saw this and exploited some more photo ops…
I was a bit amazed with the facilities of the airport. It was huge and has updated techology at the immigration. It’s definitely not better than HK and SG airports though but way ahead than NAIA.
Since I got us accommodation package, we were picked up from the airport. Our tourist guide, Anne, was already there waiting for us. We boarded a nice 10-seater van that took us to our hotel. But along the way, I took some snaps of the Thai roads:
Oh di ba parang Manila lang. Ke daming fly-over! Too bad I wasn’t able to take pics of the jammed roads when we pushed furhter to Bangkok proper. It was a 45-minute trip from the airport to our hotel… inclusive of bad traffic! LOL.
I got us affordable accommodations at the Baiyoke Boutique. It’s located in Pratunam area…very near the street slash night markets and shopping malls. Len and Candy were checked in a separate room from us. They were housed in room 422 while me and Mom were at 424.
You might be wondering why I had to tell slash show this thing. Well, I just noticed some very important numbers slash dates here. The hotel coupons carried Mommy’s birthday (Oct. 27, our check out date) while the hotel room stood for my birthday (Apr. 24). May konek, di ba?! Galing noh?! Hehehe!
Wanna have a peek of our room???
Sorry naman, may lolang mahilig sumama sa picture! Hehehe! Obviously, it wasn’t grand. Just a simple accommodation for budget travellers like me and my Mom. Apparently, I got this at USD100 (P4,900 at the time we booked) for 4D3N inclusive of airport transfers, daily breakfast and half-day city tour. Quite a nice package, eh?!
(Note to Irene: Sooooo very sorry I wasn’t able to get back at you to at least inform that I’m not getting the Le Meridien accommodation. When I learned that 2 of my friends are joining us, I opted to book cheaper accommation. Hey, maybe nextime I’ll holler when I swing by HK… soon!)
Since it was a bit late in the afternoon and we still haven’t eaten lunch, we just headed to the nearest mall (read: mala-Plaza Miranda or Tutuban mall) and tried to look for a nice resto or foodchain. I’m really not much adventurous when it comes to food and I have tried some Thai dishes before. They just didn’t much my taste buds well. So, we chose to be on the safe side and decided to eat here…
KFC kung KFC! Hahaha! In all fairness, I learned that KFC foods from Bangkok and Manila taste the same. LOL. It was a bit too pricey as compared here back home. Maybe P40 to 50 higher than the Manila price. But hey, their servings are way bigger. I could never finish a combo meal all by myself. So, Mommmy and I always shared meals. Tipid noh?!
The Pratunam area is really haven for shoppers who are so much fond of Branded Class A and other tiangge buys. Too bad, I’m not their desired client. May kaartehan talaga ako sa shopping. Hehehe! I felt I was in Divisoria or Plaza Miranda. There were clothes, shoes and bags sold everywhere… and all other items that one could think of. Here, I took a snap so you can have a clear idea of what the Pratunam street market looks like:
It got overly crowded with vendors and shoppers as it turned darker. Too crowded that it’s no longer passable by vehicles. Sorry though as I wasn’t able to document that. 
While we were checking out the area, Candy mentioned about Siam Paragon. It’s a very nice high-end mall located just minutes from where we are. Equipped with map, we checked by ourselves how to get there. But the map we had in hand is a bit to vague to understand. Promise, first time ko maguluhan sa map at malocate kung nasaan ako. Hehehe! Another set of tourists seemed lost. They asked a local for directions. Since gaya-gaya kami, we also approached the that nice Thai lady and asked how we could get to Siam Paragon by foot. She gave us directions… but still a bit vague for us. And so I asked, “Is it near from here? Or it would be best to take a cab instead?” She said that it’s a bit too far to walk so advised as to take a tuk-tuk. It’s like the counterpart of our jeepneys here in the Phils but they look more like three-wheeler motorbikes. Oh wait, I got a pic of a tuk-tuk…
How cool is that?! You think it’s just a cheap ride? Think again… it’s not! When we asked how much will it cost us to take Siam Paragon, the driver told that it’s THB 150 (roughly P210 or USD5). Ang mahal di bah? Since we knew that tuk-tuks don’t offer fixed rates, we tried to haggle. We were able to agree at THB 80 ( roughly P110 or USD2.50) from Pratuman to Siam Paragon. Still a bit expensive as compared to tricycle fares in Manila. Anyhow, we still hopped in.
At last, we saw a nice looking mall. A real one. Siam Paragon is a bit comparable to the Shang-rila Mall along EDSA… but much much bigger.
We just checked out some familiar shops like Mango and Zara. We didn’t shop though. It was a very short mall trip. We had some snacks and bought some water and other necessary items at the supermarket before we headed back home.
I know it was kinda bitin, but we were already tired at that time so we all called it a day.
To be continued….
That We May Live
I couldn’t walk. Bembem, Dodoy, Dexter, Aling Doria and Mang Joven had to carry my heavy body down the GK site where we were about to build their homes. I was handed a roller which I dipped in a bucket of peach paint. Mang Joven spoke like a sage while taking a deept sigh: “Sa bawat hagod mo ay isa nang hininga para sa amin.” ["Every paint stroke of yours is a breathe for us."] That hit me to the core. It dawned on me how a single minute gesture can affect a fellow man. I pray I could do billions of paint strokes while I live. That moment inspired me to paint these kids carrying the body of Jesus down the tomb. So much pain, yes; but gazing heavenwards with gratitude in their eyes. “Salamat Diyos, nakapaling namin Siya, kaibigang tunay na nagbuwis para sa amin.” ["Thank you Lord, we spent time with Him, He was a true friend who offered his life for us."] That we may live.
Just hours ago, Mom and I landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. At kahit groggy pa ako dahil sa pagod at gutom, I still opted to face my laptop before I hit the bed. Nagwoworry ako masyado sa mga panananim ko sa Farmville at niluto sa Cafe World. I just wanted to tell that I’m back. Reporting for blog duty muna.

… but only for a week.
Tomorrow at noon time, I’ll be flying out of Pinas for the 5-day birthday celebration of my ever-beloved Mudra. This simply means that I won’t be blogging (as if naman very active ako lately) for the next few days.

Last year, my picture got published in my ever favorite fashion magazine, Cosmopolitan Philippines. It was a contest I joined in where I brought my most recent copy to HK. And that crazy and interesting experience got me a spanking Nokia phone.
Early last week, I received an email from Micah Sulit, Summit Media’s staff writer, and informed me about the article that she wrote in this month’s issue of Women’s Health Magazine. Apparently, I don’t know Micah personally. She just posted a comment at my Meet Winkie page a month ago asking if I want to participate in the article that she’s writing for the said health magazine. And so, I instantly said “Yes!” (Ewan ko ba, madali talaga ako mapasagot ng “oo”. Hehehe!)
Unlike last year’s I-got-a-cellphone-from-Cosmo-for-just-sending-a-pic-of-me experience, the article did not carry any of my pics. Sayang, very much willing pa naman akong magsubmit ng mga studio shots ko. Hehehe! The article is about something I am very much familiar with. Maybe, that’s the reason why the writer asked me to be in it. It’s about SINGLEHOOD. What else could it be? LOL.
The writer didn’t meet with me personally as it was a bit of a short notice. She instead sent me a questionnaire. Some are generic questions but some are very personal. I tried to answer them all… very briefly and very honestly.
If you want to check it out, the article is entitled Flying Solo.
There were other 2 equally single girls that got interviewed and they, too, shared their thoughts and experiences on flying solo. Well, here are my responses that made the cut…
Again, it was really fun and interesting to see my name in such famous magazine. And Sharing my thoughts and having them published is really a one-of-a-kind experience.
So, you better watch out for my next gig.
Yesterday… Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Today… Women’s Health.
Tomorrow…FHM! Bwahahaha!
As always, I’m late on my blog updates. A lot of things has already happened. More typhoons did so much damages up north. People there have lost their homes and some even lost their lives. While here I am, still posting about my Ondoy experience. Well, just blame it on Facebook. I’m getting more and more attached to it every single day. At first it was just Farmville. Now, I’m getting hooked on Farmtown, Yoville and Cafe World. (Please lang, wag nyo na po akong iinvite sa iba. Maloloka na ako kakalaro! Hehehe!)
Having experienced flood for the first time, I really did not know what to do. Apparently, I didn’t panic much but it left me some trauma. The threats of Pepeng really made me nervous and got uberly worried that another flood might endanger us once more. Thank God it did not pester Metro Manila. Too bad though for the people who got affected by Pepeng and I really really feel sad for them.
Anyhow, as my title suggests, I have learned a lot of things lately. And here are top 3 things I realized slash should do after that Ondoy experience:
-
Limit Shopping. Believe me, it’s the shopaholic in me talking. I can’t promise myself though that I WILL STOP shopping. But I will just limit it for a while. That flood experience got me so tired of moving all my (our) things and I realized we have too many stuff inside our house. Name it and you’ll have it. From toiletries to kitchen wares, from bed sheets to curtains, from magazines to CDs, from flip-flops to jackets, and whatever you could think of. Yabang! Hahaha! Well, it’s really too much stuff for just a mother-and-daughter tandem. This I’ll-try-not-to-shop promise would be very difficult for me but I know I can do it. I just need to convince myself that I have too much already and that I won’t need new things for now. *Keeping my fingers crossed that I could really do it*
-
Wear All Clothes. As I have written in my previous post, there were a lot of clothes that went down into the murky waters and they still have price tags on it. I really have tons and tons of clothes that were left unused. Well, I blame all the sale promotions for that. They lure me to buying stuff at half the price. So, I’m just another shopping victim. I’m completely innocent here. LOL. Kidding aside, I should now try to wear all those inside my closet (Ooops, wala na pala akong closet, sinira lahat ni Ondoy. Hmp!) one by one rather than keeping them and waiting for special ocassion to flaunt them. Try ko muna mag-model-model ng mga clothes these days! LOL.
-
Have a man inside the house. Oh yes, you heard me loud and clear! I need a man inside the house. If it weren’t for my cousin and neighbor, I guess all my things would remain untouched and I’ll just let those heavy things slash appliances got wet and damaged. So, having a man inside our house would really really be very handy. Kaya naman, I have decided… to let my mom get herself a boyfriend! Hahaha! Akala nyo para sa akin noh?! Whehehe!
Very deep ang mga realizations ko noh?!
On a serious note though, I really feel sad to see all those people still suffering from the Ondoy and Pepeng’s aftermath. I hope and pray that they could surpass this very difficult ordeal… very soon!

P.S. No more typhoon posts next time… promise!
Yeah yeah, I know, the Ondoy story is part of history now. Parma and Quedan have already passed by Pinas as well. Sorry na. Busy lang po sa farming sa Facebook paglilinis ng house at pagtupi ng mga damit.
Anyhow, as promised in my last post, here is my Ondoy story…
September 26, I woke up at around 8 a.m. thinking it was just another rainy Saturday morning. Although I was aware that it rained all night, it didn’t bother me much as I know our house is safe from such calamaties.
So, as usual, I grabbed my laptop and hooked on the net. I was in a hurry then as it was harvest time for me in Farmville. LOL. Since I was on Facebook, I got myself busy checking out posts made by friends. I was suprised to see some pics shared by one of my colleagues. I even blurted out, “Hala, ang taas na ng baha sa ibang lugar! Malapit na sa bubong!” That colleague lives somewhere in Mandaluyong. After some minutes, my former boss posted similar pics. I even told my mom, “Ma, alam mo baha na kina Ma’am (insert former boss’s name here). Lagpas tuhod sa kanila!” But still, those pictures did not bother me. In fact, it got me interested to view some other pics. Until suddenly, one of my older male cousins came to our house and ask my mom, “Tiyang, bumabaha na sa likod namin. Tumumba na yung washing machine ko. Kumusta po yung sa inyo?” My mom, who was watching tv that time, replied, “Ay ewan ko lang. Pakitingnan nga.” That was the time I shifted my attention from online to the real world. And when I looked down, eto lang ang nasabi ko, “Nyay! Nasa likod ko na pala ang baha!”
And so, I started to panic. LOL.
Another neighbor came in and checked if we needed help. And so, they both tried to save some important things starting from my washing machine, ref and bed. Since my clothes are neatly kept in plastic stackable containers, it was easy for me to move them all from the bedroom to our living room. Well, I have been using those wheeled-plastic containers as our place is a bit fire prone. Kelangan ganun ang gamit para itutulak lang in cases of emergency.
It was a bit late for us to save some of my photo albums as water is around 10 inches high already. But still, my Mom tried to get them all. I never imagined how we quickly moved most of our things to our living room. My cousin and nieghbor also tried to elevate my sofa and shoe cabinet and put it on top of monoblock stools.
So after all those panic stuff, ganito ang naging itsura ng bahay namin…
Promise, living room po namin yan! Hindi lang halata. Hahaha!
Noticed those magazines? Those are just some of my Cosmopolitan collection.
I went back to the bedroom to look for other important things to save. I saw my bayong-like bag. In it were my precious flip-flops and I blurted out, “Waaah! Ang mga Havaianas ko!!!” My Mom laughed and said, “Baliw, rubber kaya yan! Ok lang na mabasa!” Oo nga naman, may point si Mudra dun. Bakit ba ?! Eh sa gusto kong magpanic for my precious Havaianas. LOL.
Water continued to pour in. Here’s a photo of my bedroom when water level was still a bit low…
It was just around 15 inches high. It doubled up after sometime.
Even in the middle of such dilemma, my OC nature surfaced. I looked for sako bags. Know those with Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh prints sold at the marketplace? I have 5 of those. And despite the flood, I still managed to pack some of our clothes in those sako bags. Kiber sa baha, OC kung OC talaga! Hehehe! And one funny thing, I asked Mommy to wear board shorts so it would dry up faster in case we get wet. So, board shorts ang costume naming mag-ina. Kala ni Christine Reyes sya lang ang naka-japorms habang baha noh?!
Mid afternoon, members of our Barangay Council went to our area and announced that the doors of the nearest public school has opened for us for evacuation. We didn’t bother though as we can’t leave our things behind.
Time passed by and it was night time already. Water level is continuously increasing. Yet, my Mom and I still tried to improvise as we wanted to sleep. Mommy opted to use the dining chairs. Pinagdikit-dikit lang nya, instant higaan na. Since my Mom’s bed is not yet wet, I cleared up a small space enough for me to sleep in.
At around 10 p.m., Mom was already asleep while I was wide awake, afraid and praying to God to make rain to stop and let the water subside soon. But I guess, I wasn’t praying hard enough. Patuloy tumaas ang baha. And oh, brownout na pala that time. I felt so helpless. I then started to cry. It was my first time to experience that so it was a bit too sad for me to be in that situation. I pictured in mind that Titanic scene where the Mom was trying to put her children to sleep while the ship was sinking. I cried even harder. I was trying to sleep while being surrounded by flood. But then again, I thought of the people who are used to experiencing this kind of calamities like Malabon and Marikina residents. I then stopped crying.
Some minutes later, I heard noise from our living room. Nabuhat pala ng tubig ung mga plastic containers. So all those clothes inside those canisters got wet. And not just clothes, but my office and special ocassion clothes. Some even have price tags. So, ang dami pang hindi nagagamit. Di na ako umiyak. Naiinis na lang ako. Since it was too dark inside the house, I no longer bothered to pick up those clothes and thought to just check them as soon as the water subsides.
At around 12 midnight, I got a bit concerned for my TV and component. I went out to seek help. One of my childhood friends asked what they could do for us. I just told them that I was worried my TV rack might collapse anytime soon if I don’t remove my appliances from there. Sinisi pa ako, “Sus ka, bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi. Sana kanina pa natin nailikas yan. Isang sabi mo lang, ilalabas namin agad yan.” And so they moved those appliances outside our house. One of our neighbors was kind enough to accommodate those in their house. She even invited me and my Mom to spend the night with them. And so we did.
Another problem arose at around 2 a.m. (Sunday). We learned that a house from the neighboring street was on fire. Anuber?!?!?! May baha na, may sunog pa! Gladly though, people from different barangays helped to put out the fire. But two houses got burned.
It was the longest, most tiring and nerve-wrecking night I have experienced in my life. Water subsided at 7 a.m. of September 27. No time to rest, we started washing all the clothes that were soaked with flood. We were able to revive most of our clothes but some were too muddy that we had to throw them away. Later that day, nearing evening, electricity went back on. So we then decided to clean the murky floor. Goodness, ang hirap pala maglinis ng sahig na puro putik.
Well, up to this writing, our house is still a mess. All my cabinets were damaged and we don’t know where to put all our things. Etong si Ondoy, dagdag gastos. Nakakaasar!
On the bright note though, I’m glad that nothing bad happened to me, my Mom and the rest of the people in our community. When I watched the Ondoy news reports days after the incident, nanlumo ako with what I saw. Families lost their homes. Some people even lost their lives. And some areas are still flooded up to now.
So, despite what happened, I still feel blessed. God may not have answered my request to make the rain stop and let the water subside but He gave me a better answer. He spared us from the danger Ondoy brought. He kept us perfectly safe.
Let There Be Peace on Earth
This painting was inspired by the song “One More Gift,” which I listen to every time I paint. The composer wrote this piece as a young boy as he was struggling with family problems. He once said, “Growing up in a broken family has become a very valuable ground to nurture my faith. It allowed my to find God even in the darkest moments of my life, or in the history of our people.” I see myself falling down like toy soldiers do in those moments when I try to prove myself right and the others wrong. Those instances I steel myself to be impenetrable are usually followed by attacks of raw weakness. So it is while painting. I always encounter the struggle and the forces of hard strokes, the bravura; but there are also the soft glazing of fine smudges. Every hard stance in life hides a corresponding tenderness. Let us listen to the tender laughter of children.

Pardon for the long absence. I guess by now, most of you already know that we got affected by the great Ondoy flood. As of this writing, our house is still a mess. I will try to make a separate post on that horrendous experience very soon. But first, let me thank all those who texted, YM-ed, called and e-mailed me to check on our status. All your concerns were so much appreciated. From the bottom of my heart… MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT PO!
Let us continue on praying that the country will be spared from similar disasters slash calamities in the future.
Be safe always and God bless us all!
For me (and for most, I guess), travel and pictures really go together. And so, whenever I go places, I only not try to capture my special moments, but I also make sure that I take interesting slash funny snapshots of things that I encounter. And here are some of those I found in my digital folder:

This is all for now, dear friends!
Late this afternoon, my colleague Tink (not her real name) told me about an interesting news she found at yahoo. It was about a 27-year old Taiwanese girl and her quest to kiss 100 men in Paris. I guess, this too got your attention now. LOL.
Well, here’s the entire article from yahoo news:
TAIPEI (AFP) – - A Taiwanese woman’s ambition to kiss 100 men in Paris has become an overnight web sensation after she provided details of the quest on her much-visited blog.
Yang Ya-ching, a 27-year-old music major living in the French capital, has so far notched up 54 smooches, she said on her blog, which features photos of some of the encounters.
Collaborators in her project included a factory worker, a model, an Italian tourist and even a soldier visiting the capital of romance for Bastille Day.
“I came up with the idea three years ago,” she said on her blog.
“Three of my four friends who were aware of the plan warned me that I might wind up getting slapped rather than kissed.”
Yang, who plans to write a book about her kissing experiences, has attracted 1.97 million visitors to her blog, including more than 224,000 on Monday alone.
“Aren’t you afraid of catching a disease?” one of her followers asked.
“No,” she replied. “The more you’re afraid of, the less you accomplish.”
Hmmmm… I bet the guys would click on her link now! Sorry to disappoint you my dear male blogger friends, but her blog is written in Taiwanese. Good luck naman kung mainitindihan nyo! Bwahahaha! And besides Paris is way too far just to get a kiss from her. (Ay, parang bitter ang statement! Whehehe!)
But hey, this is a nice tactic to hit two birds with one stone. She was able to generate enormous hits for her blog and at the same time will get the chance to taste at least 100 men… from different nations!
How cool is that?!
Masubukan nga rin… but I would need updated 2×2 photo, comprehensive resume and authenticated certificate from an accredited dentist. Ang hirap ng requirements bigla! LOL.
