i was only able to fulfill one request while in bangkok. that would be yours, davio. (: yay! sorry to everyone else; yours were just too hard to find or substitute. let's say, i make it up to you next time when i leave the country again.

random: on the way back, i picked up from DFS baileys mint chocolate and chanel's chance perfume.

a rundown of what happened in thailand:

1. shopped. a lot. lot. (requires double emphasis)
2. ate. a lot.
3. gained weight (can't and won't say i got fatter, because... because it's not nice to read or hear when i lookback.)
4. worked on the little thai that i know
5. sat on a bike taxi (WITHOUT a helmet)
6. participated in the Song Kran water festival --- imaging splashing of water and talcum powder (which kinda looks like white paint) on passersby for FOUR FULL DAYS. every outfit i brought got soaked.
7. went and tried clubbing (nightlife there dies at 2a.m., 3a.m. is VERY LATE - legal age to club is 20. i'm soon-to-be-20.)
8. saw the sunrise at 5.30a.m. from the hotel room
9. bathed and washed my hair twice everytime i got back - my skin and hair feels dry and brittle now. thank god for sunsilk leave-on conditioner.
10. saw many many many thai boys.
11. saw a glimpse of the thai king and the royal family. no pictures though - the cop came over to tell me to keep my cam.
12. brunched with the dad
