VISA TRAVEL

CAMBODIA

When we entered Thailand, we were given a month visa. A month visa which easily gone by the wind. For an extension, we, accompany by other Filipino friends went to Cambodia to extend it for another month and this process lasted by July 2005.

BUKIT BENDERA

We were required for to get a NON-IMMIGRANT VISA for the application of work permit. We planned to visit Penang, Malaysia. My co-teachers and friends (Tristan, Eleazar, Bhing, Ate Jo, Yzen, Riza) and I applied for a NON-B and at the same time, we visited some tourist spots in the said island. We enjoyed sightseeing in the TOY MUSEUM (said to be in Guinness Book of record as the largest toy museum in the world). Swimming in BATU FERRINGI BEACH was so much fun! We went to BUKIT BENDERA. Afraid of the height, I just decided not to ride in the cable train but all of my companions did. The time they left me alone in the place made me sad and thought a lot. A long time passed and I felt bored so I went for walk. There, I met one of the taxi drivers who could speak English very well. It washed away the boring time. Until the time that my friends arrived, I was with a lot of drivers who accompanied me while waiting with them. I was happy even I didn't experience the ride. They were all dizzy and tired but happy for the new experience. They showed me the pictures they had taken up. Good for them! This happened last July 2005.

The visa lasted only for three months so there was a need again to go out of the country. We were three (Bhing, Tristan and I) who decided to go to Vientienne, Laos for another visa. This was November 2005. The stay was fine and we did a whole day round trip to some tourist spots through "Manong" the tuktuk driver that we rented. The said country was so peaceful and clean. We reached Mekong River, too and took some photos there.

KASINTORN ACADEMY Experiences

KASINTORN ACADEMY

That is the name of my school wherein I'm working for more than 3 years up to the present. I started in this education family last March 4, 2005. Hard at first because we were needed to make seven (7) lesson plans with extra worksheets for a day and our super industrious foreign boss edited them twice.....so really WHAT A WORK! Take note, I and my Filipino co-workers (Bhing and Tristan) my closest friends stayed inside the computer lab....! That was only for a month because we're asked to teach for April summer class. I taught P2 - P3 Regular class for the first time composed of seven students. That makes my life a bit busy and enjoying.

School year 2005 - 2006, I taught Secondary 1 Pixies Intensive and Thai -Elves with Mathematics and English-Grammar subjects. While sy 2006 - 2007, I'd been with S1 and S2 Pixies and Thai-Elves students. I had a very memorable and challenging experiences this 2007 - 2008.I loved my kids really.I really enjoyed all of my time with my K3 students.

I have a lot of Filipino friends in school. These include: Bhing, Tristan, Datdat, Merium, Lotlot, Josh, Ate Mina, Rence, Chris, Kath, Maizie, Elena, Jeizl, Jinky and Ate Linda. They are very supportive and friendly in their own little way. I enjoy their company really. At times, I'm reminiscing the times that we have a little quarrel. But it subsides so easily.....WHAT A COMPANY!!!!!

Hello, THAILAND!

WAT PO





WAT TRIMIT

We arrived

in this country

"Land of Smile" last January 7, 2005.

Everything was a question: "

"What are the things to prepare to apply for a job?", "How to apply for a job?", "Why the food is very spicy","What will happen to us in this country?", "Are we going to feel happiness in this new environment?"......query...query.......

For the first week in Thailand, my hubby and I together with our new friends stayed at PJ Watergate Hotel. There were free visits rendered by the hotel which include "WAT PO", "WAT TRIMIT" and "GEMS GALLERY". That was a very nice start!

All of the sudden.........

"There is nothing permanent in this world except CHANGE."

A simple student, eager to go along to her circle of friends in a school environment met a jolly man in the person of her husband was destined to be a teacher in a public school but unfortunately changed her path of life to being an educator outside of the country. Reminiscing the time that passed so fast, she with her husband couldn’t think could stay longer than 3 year in a country called “Land of Smile”. My life was a simple one. I didn't dream of traveling, what I just wanted is to have a family in my native land......but oh! it was swept away when I was apt to choose a decision...a decision that will change my life....a decision that will incur sets of consequences.......decision that deep in my heart, I felt hardship to choose. Reminiscing the past, a gap was made between my family and I......but I love my family so much and I love my boyfriend that so...........so God help me..that's the words my mouth uttered that time....and God answered my prayer.He helped me decide to choose to track a new path of life outside the country. Getting married was so easily done.....After a few days....YES! Here comes THAILAND (A Land of Smile).

After eight months of stay in this country, my two co-teachers and friends and I indulged ourselves of going to a neighbor country (Laos). I didn’t know that I was pregnant that time coz I’m still waiting for my monthly visit that didn’t seem to come. As I arrived home, I told my husband the fact that I missed it. Using a thing to test if I’m pregnant or not, answered my query and YES, it’s positive. Heaven knows how happy we were that time. Even there were lots of hindrances that came to our life, we’re still standing, thanks to our friends’ help. Every month I had an appointment to my OB (Dr. Chanin), a Thai doctor at Mission Hospital who really took care of me and my baby since the start up to the time of my operation. And yes, that was July 09, 2006 one o’ clock in the morning, a baby with more than three thousand grams was given a chance to see the beauty of the world. Before hand, we searched for so many names that will be given to the baby, if a girl (LORHEN AKEISHA) from the first syllable of our name and the second name was from African names. For a boy, we chose JARED AKEISH. I love Jared as a name..it deals about being a leader and a manly name. My family was always blessed by our Lord. Many people thought my baby is LORNA Jr. very much alike with my face everywhere you look, it’s my face that you can see but to others it seemed as my husband. He’s a very happy boy and a Canadian friend said: “Jared is the happiest baby I met in my life”. Yeah, that’s true.
