I woke up early this morning took a hot  shower to begin my day. Then
light peeked coaxing me to move the shower curtain.I was then rewarded
with a beautiful sight.

I continued enjoyed my shower while enjoying the sunrise savoring every moment  .
The simple joy of life  one must take timeto enjoy  and be thankful.

I  just really hope the there are no fishermen on those boats hehehe

A picture of my shower stall for those interested without me of course hehehehe

Vespa for me

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007


My best friend Mintoy has his Vespa who’s exact model and make escapes me.
He would ride his Vespa from their farm in Balayan Batangas to their residence in Paranque a good 120 to 150 km trip.

I found then his Vespa amusing.

Now that I am in Vietnam I found out Vespa here is like a cult if not status symbol.
People here ride motorcycles more as cars here are pretty expensive.
Once  I ask my HR manager to get another driver for the resort . he said it wont be easy.
I said why I see  people riding scooters around like ants on a mound of sugar.
He said yes they drive scooters not cars.
Oh ok heehe no wonder the drivers here moving like they are on scooters

I still do have heart stopping moments when  I travel in the roads here
and this is from guy who used to ride bicycles in the streets of Manila during rush hour.

So here I am eyeing a nice Vespa to use. I had our American English teacher who speaks Vietnamese poke around in town for one.

Some Vespa here are classics brought during the French occupation .

I
want a nice candy apple red for my use like the one pictured. Hopefully
to be able to ride it around vietnam hehehe. too bad it cant carry my
scuba gear.

hehehe

Sigh after a month of activities (full occupancy, Typhoon
near miss , IT problems etc.)

I am down for 16 hours of straight sleep the other day

 I am able to enjoy a
slow day. Sipping my coffee as the local fisherman boat sail by.

Sound Seawaves crashing in the background.

When should I finish my Padi Divemaster course?

 

Thinking about if I took that job in the

Maldives

(hehehehe).

 

Scribbling in my moleskinne .Random thoughts on life and leisure.

 

Maybe I should skydive hehehe

 

Looking forward to my vacation in October and perhaps a
R&R .

Eat in a swank restaurant where $100 per head is norm.

Or eat hotdogs I use to grab in the streets of

Toronto

.

 

Ideas are always free…..but action that are need are sometimes costly
