Thoughts on the new rebelde series on netlfix

I admit that yeaaaaars ago I loved the rebelde (2004 version), I watched it every day after school

So even before watching I knew that the nostalgia won't let me love it the same way

But I'm surprised because it wasn't that bad xD

I mean it was bad, it's a cliche series for teens, but still

( spoilers ahead, I think

Also, trigger warning- grooming mentioned)

First of all, I didn't like the school set

Second why is there only one person looking after the kids at night? I MEAN CELINA YOU WERE A STUDENT THERE

You can't trust those kids xD

And lastly- the main kidsss

Jana? Ok, this one will be controversial but the most boring character, kinda Mary Sue stereotype (although the actress is very pretty and sings good). Honestly I was afraid that they will make her a Mia copy, they didn't (thank you netlfix). So, 2/10 (also, she outed Luka? That's....horrible, we don't stan)

Esteban- my pure baby boy, he deserves everything even though he has zero brain cells- it must be the colucci gene XD ofc the suspense of his mother was predictable but well, could be worse. I love his bromance with Dixon, his obsession with Luka xD cute kid, must protecc. Angelic voice, pretty face, what else could I want Overall, 10/10

MJ- she sings great, and the actress is so pretty! But I didn't like her swaying from boy to boy, first Esteban, then Dixon and Sebas... I mean, I understand! Completely

But didn't like that :( and I felt really bad for her in the last episode but...meh 3/10

Dixon- he reminded me of Giovanni with his hair and attitude but he's so puure when gio was an asshole most of the time. Great friend, I'd love to have a Dixon in my life. His rapping was good, I think- I don't really listen to rap? So I'm not sure, but it sounded awesome! 8/10 because I'm an old witch and his pants were horrible in my eyes

Andi- the skilsss, the hair *.* The everything (honestly, her clothes were the best to me, even tho I wouldn't wear them). The relationship with Emilia was adorable, the last episode *chef's kiss*. I'd say, for me she's 6/10

Luka- ok, this one is my second favourite. A bitchy sassy colucci with brain! I mean, he uses it very rarely but still. Daddy issues the size of America and those sad eyes- I see a lot of Diego in him! Don't let me start on his voice, because I won't stop and it's getting late, I need to finish it and go to sleep xD I Hope when we see him in the second season he'll be coming back from vacation with his cousin Mia and he'll show us that he can be a good person, not only a good actor ^^ the only thing I hate about him are his clothes, but I must be too old to understand the fashion of today's youth... (And I'm only 23 xD) because of his clothes he's 12/10

Emilia- bi bitch with a great voice- I love her. I didn't like her mean girl attitude in the first episode but well, I change my mind a lot. Her hair is majestic- I know what I will do with mine, the next time I'll need a change, so overall 9/10

And finally

Sebas- THE DEVIL, THE BITCH BOY, THE WORST CUTIE EVER, he's such an asshole, I just can't hate him. Mommy issues, he was groomed(?!?!?! He was 18 but let's face it, the 'relationship' surely started before that, I think he would be around 15/16 and that's sick) Noone really likes him because of him- and the list goes on and on why I should hate him but I don't. That last scene in the finale, I was crying with him... I can't rate him fairly though, so he's a caramel popcorn out of McDonald's ice-cream with caramel *.* We can't forget that he's a bad person but...

Idk 192828/10

I like bad boys, don't judge me

I think I got all of them?

I could write about Celina- but we all love her

Pilar- the same Pilar she always was, (where's Tomas?? Where's grandpa gandia?)

That ... secretary? I won't waste words, I kinda hate predators :/

Whats your opinion?? Let's talk about it bc my friends don't watch it and I don't have anyone to vent to T.T

Top 5 fav movies

bitchhhhh i hav so many wtf music and movies are my fav things in this world idk where i would b or who i would b without them.. i think about that sm like if i don’t listen to certain music or watch certain vids/shows/movies daily i deadass go insane n want to die n go full homicidal n suicidal without fail idk what that is but shit is apirittttuaaalll. ima give u 5 that i believe are must watch, off of an substance or sober and ones i hav watched 1000000x n still am obsessed w but in no order ok!!! i love cult classic movies n sumtimes wen i say that ppl get confused on wtf i mean by that... but by ‘cult classics’ i think of movies that started it all for their genre/generation n were both creative asf yet super realistic.. so like tovme there amazing cult classic horror films n cult classic psych thrillers that started it all for movies yeaaaaars to come n the majority of ppl ive spoken to either haven’t bothered to watch, didn’t kno it existed or only watch the new ones.. which angerrrrrrs me beyond belief bc wtf???

my oldest cousin on my dads side used to collect vhs when he lived w my aunt n it was mostly always ‘horror’, shit like scream (2,3,4) i know what u did last summer (i still know wydls), urban legend (1998), prom night (i saw this w my dad in theatres i think lol), the original halloween n the sequels except the most recent one lol ect ect so i was introduced to alllll that shit suuuupeer young at like idek 8 years old mayb? mayb younger. n was never scared of any of it surprisingly lol wen i would get random weekends or whatever tf w my dad we would spend time watching movies n then he would show me his favs too which i looooved but they were more psych thrillers like silence of the lambs, the shining, along came a spider (a lot of original Alex cross ones), the bone collector, the sixth sense (AMAZES THE FUCK OUT OF ME HOW MANY PPL DONT KNO BOUT THIS MOVIE??)

I never liked super gory movies tbh which is kinda weird cuz i luv blood?? i jus hate when they try so gory overkill shit with the sound effects n it looks fake n stupid so i avoided watching the saw movies for soooo long BUT THEN i was best friends w a girl who loved the saw series n explained like the entire premise of the Saw movies n realised how well thought out that shit was n then i was soooo fucking into it.. cuz it was more psychological than anything else it’s jus hella gruesome w the pain he inflicts on ppl but he justifies it n i kinda like that shit lmao.

ANYWAY OMG I BEEN RAMBLING BC ADDERALL I NEED TO AHUT THE FUCKCUP. IMA GIVE U 5 FROM AKROSS THE BOARD OK.

i will never not say scream (i could watch it every single day n it was the first of its kind baaaaby i fell inluv w this film the first time i saw its perfect in every way)

remember the titans!!!! (i still remember where i was the v first time i saw this n i thought it was so fucking incredible n it still is u could watch it 30 years from now n it will still hit) in

silence of the lambs (one of the first movies that really got me interested in studying criminology and forensic psychology)

menace II society & straight outta compton (do i even needa explain why... like.. shittennnnme?? iconic)

gia or the bone collector or girl interrupted or the virgin suicides or prozac nation or pulp fiction orrrr like requiem for a dream, donnie darko, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (but like high), american psycho, fight club, changeling, den of thieves, foxfire, Forrest Gump ect ect the rest would b documentaries but although a lot seem sporadic n all over genres to me they all realistic in so many ways.. i love movies like that. no fanasty bs

posting these in the dead of night so I don’t subject too many ppl to my face but! this is in response to the ~check in tag~ ty Acsa for checking in ily @pilot-kun

- posted a selfie first instead of last, and posted a bunch I’m sorry skdjsjd but since I’m not in lab/on campus every day anymore, now is a good time to experiment with the makeup I hardly use!! ....which would be more interesting if I owned things that weren’t 99% neutral shades lmao

- how has your day been? this whole work from home business is rly more draining than it seems it should be. got to a late start bc I was up till 2am last night, and puttered through the day. wasn’t super great but wasn’t terrible either!

- what was the last thing that made you smile? I’m currently FaceTiming with one of my best friends, who moved 2 hours away and I was already hardly seeing pre-quarantine. we’re both animal crossing fans so she just locked in miss Marina as a new villager on her island and I’m so jealous but excited for her!!

- what’s keeping you entertained these days? definitely animal crossing haha! And unfortunately.....kpop

- if you are in some kind of quarantine/self isolation, is there anything you’d like to achieve in this time? yeah actually - ever since starting grad school, my lifestyle has become so sedentary...and that shift coming after yeaaaaars of dancing almost every day has really taken a toll on my both physically and mentally. I’ve been taking this time to re-focus and give my body the attention and care it deserves, nourishing it with good food and challenging myself to get a good sweat in. I also joked about it at the beginning of quarantine, but learning a kpop dance or 2 counts as activity haha

#only 2 things in life are certain:#1) i will be wearing hoops at any given time #2) my mysterious adult acne is here to stay...#week 5 of quarantine wrapping up and im hangin in here i guess #*

Spoiler alert .. nothing important, doesn't worth wasting your time.

A hard day just ended few minutes ago, it isn't just hard emotionally but physically as well, i wish i can get over the mood swings which driving me nuts, it's 100% unreasonable, i have arrhythmia which is irregular heartbeats, so i once asked the doctor and her assistants - two younger doctors - if arrhythmia making feel this way, i literally feel sad for no damn obvious reason and it spoils my day almost everyday, it's too much .. the pain and discomfort caused by my heart is hard enough for me to handle not to mention the nightmares, panic attacks, anxiety and the stress caused by school and social life - if i considered myself having one - plus all these other stuff like migraine, stuffy nose, pain in my right leg, now pain in the neck, my stomach, salty eyes, hair loss, i'm too much weaker and look older than i used to be ... Despite all of this i'm doing my best to keep up with school and life in general but it's too damn hard and this makes it even worse, i'm tired .. i really am .. i don't admit that easily but it's the truth and sometimes i think life doesn't worth it .. this hurts you know to write about it .. i'm not complaining by the way neither seeking sympathy nor other bla bla bla, hamdulillah for everything ... i wanted just to express myself in words .. oh by the way the doctors said they don't even know whether those emotions are caused by arrhythmia or arrhythmia is caused by those emotions amd the meds they gave me made things worse .. she - the doctor of course - was supposed to be the best in that field and she told the other doctors that i'm lying about some symptoms, why on earth i would lie about that .. anyway the minute i heard her i made my mind not to go back to her again.

Some days are better than others but all in the same circle if you know what i mean .. all this consumes me .. how am i supposed to study or have a life like that?! It's like being in a war zone where it's only you there bombed from everywhere and by everyone.

Sometimes i go to a friend for a talk who knows i might feel better .. 90% of those time it fails and made things worse .. sometimes i just go for the company, just not to be alone .. ten minutes later i know why i stay at home first place, i can't understand the relation i have with loneliness, it's like being in love with your worst enemy where getting too close or too far breaks you and there is no in between, life was not supposed to be that hard.

I used to cry a lot since yeaaaaars ago till very recently it become like impossible to cry, i slept so so so maaaaaaaaaany nights crying now i simply can't, i always have that urge to cry but nothing .. not even a single tiny teardrop, it's heartbreaking not to be able to cry when you desperately need it.

Sometimes all this fade away by itself for no reason leaving me empty and hollow.

I may complete this later but That's it for now

Happy blessed Friday everyone.

“I’ve never seen a sexier costume in my life. Keep it on.”

“They say you feel cold when you’re in the presence of a ghost. What’s it mean when you start getting hot?”

“How hard can you bite with those plastic fangs in your mouth?”

“Halloween is basically an excuse for you to walk the streets in lingerie –and I love every second of it.”

“I’m sorry, babe. Scaring you seemed like a funny idea at the time. Let me make it up to you?”

“Kind of makes me wish something interesting would happen. Like murder.”

“NO. NO OUIJA BOARDS!”

“Did you know they used to carve faces on turnips?”

“October is when the creeps come out of hiding. Hence, I am here.”

“Want to have a horror movie marathon with me?”

“You ever realize that the fall smell everyone loves so much is just the scent of dying plants?”

“We need to add more Halloweens to the year. 30 more to be exact.”

“I’m not really superstitious. I think the whole ‘spirits returning to earth’ thing is ridiculous.”

“Whether or not I believe in ghosts, I’m not going to risk it with a Ouija board.”

“You know, there are a lot of spooky legends about this time of year.”

“October is the best time for blankets and [hot beverage of choice].”

“Ah, October. The harvest season. Perfect for harvesting souls.”

“I want a pumpkin spice latte and I don’t care what anyone thinks.”

“I’m still undecided on my Halloween costume this year.”

My 2 0 1 9

I started my year as a freshman student in college, figuring things out and is really confused as to what i was doing and what direction am i heading. I wasn’t doing well in my studies since i had a “transfer shock” and literally only had 2 weeks of “summer break”. By the second semester, i was physically and mentally tired—this also means that my emotional status is not as strong as it was the previous years. The first day of the first month of year, i remember writing a note somewhere and wrote my feelings out. I was really sad. My mental health was affected by the things happening around me — obviously, i wasn’t doing well at the beginning of this year.

February came. I just had my midterms exam when my sister broke the news that my dog died. My sweetest little boy, Gift, just turned 1 and he died. I felt worse. I felt like i failed as a fur momma. I felt like i failed him. I cried so many nights, and it didn’t help that my roommates keep on reminding me about his death as if it was nothing to me. March. The last hurrah of the semester. My friends and I were planning about our Siquijor trip, took the finals — which i THOUGHT i did good. I finished my NSTP and said goodbye to my tut-tees. They are so precious, i could hug them — then went on to the trip. I went cliff jumping, lots of swimming, attended a sponge cola concert which surprised me because the lead vocalist of the band recognized me. That night, my friends went drinking. I drank a little but i poured more softdrinks than the actual gin. THAT was when my “friends” babbled and said “the gin doesn’t taste good anymore because we’re out of softdrinks”. It was a heckin small problem but they made it seem really big. — that’s when i knew that that “friendship” is not gonna last. I was right. I didn’t hang on to them anyways so it didn’t really hurt. Lol. April and May, it was summer break! Finally! I spent most of my time at home, soaking everything up before school starts again. Last April, i attended our church’s annual youth camp. It was a three-day-camp where you just learn about certain people in the Bible and their way of living and how God sustained them. It was also a team building camp and let me tell you, THIS CAMP HELPED ME. A LOT. — aside from the camp, we went on different short trips, here and there. Also, the whole summer break was filled with me getting some rest and watching the whole Avengers movies, from ‘The First Avenger’ down to ‘Infinity War’. I basically became a fan. It was the 12th of May when my friend, Shayne asked me if i could watch Avengers Endgame with her since she wants to watch it again. I said yes. I knew how it would end since I’ve seen some scenes on twitter and my sister’s friend spoiled the heck out of me — BUT THAT DID NOT STOP ME FROM CRYING! It was so embarrassing to get out of the theater with VERY swollen eyes. It was probably the most heartbreaking film i watched this year. June, school started, again. SOPHOMORE YEAAAAAR! I kinda know what my classmates are , where they’re from and what they’re attitudes are. I was MORE cautious this time. I only spend time with Ross, Angela and Charlene. In fact, i went to Bohol with Ross and Angela! July. Right before my birthday, my family and churchmates went on a trip in Palawan. Enjoyed every bit of it. My birthday came and it was all fun, until it took a turn on the 17th. I got robbed. Lol, i knew that man was up to no good. My body told me that. My intuition told me not to trust him but oop, i dont know why i still gave him my money... idk. Two days later, i went to the police station to file a report and it turns out, there’s another man who’s looking for the SAME man. He was robbed by the same man as well. This was when i realized what God meant when He said that the love for money is not good and is a sin. I realized what a man can do to be able to get your money. August, i went to Bohol for a weekend! It was one of the most spontaneous trips I’ve ever taken. I went to Bohol to watch a movie. Yes. I went there to watch ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain’. I pranked a few of my close friends that i was pregnant which was surprisingly a success. They really thought i was. Lol. It was also “Hibalag”! Took the midterm exams and then celebrated the festival. All i did was stay in the booth for certain period of times. Bought some stickers. I went home for a little bit to meet the newest member of the fam, little Miss Potts. We bonded and watched a little bit of Avengers endgame. September went by so fast, i cant even remember what happened. Basically, i went back to Dumaguete. Then i received another news from my family that Miss Potts escaped the gate and is missing. I did my very best to look for her so does my family but nobody turned her in. I couldn’t believe i lost 2 dogs this year and it’s heart breaking. — but right after Potts was gone, we have been blessed with another pup. My mom’s friend made us adopt him since she has tons of dogs already and she doesn’t have enough space. We, well i, was supposed to name him ‘Stark’ to keep the “one-syllable-name-for-the-pets” rule. But when i saw him, i knew Stark wasn’t his name. When my aunt called him ‘Happy’ since he made the whole house happy again, since Pott’s gone, it clicked. It wasn’t a one syllable name but Happy suits him. Happy’s also the name of Tony Stark’s head of security, anyways so... Also, I guess i was so drowned with all the school works i had to do that time. I. Was. LOADED! I even attended a climate strike!. But thank you Lord, i was STILL able to nap in between lunch breaks and classes. My sister and my cousin also visited me in the campus and stayed for 3 days! We went on a lot of food trips, we can’t even take it anymore! October means semestral break— but there’s always rain before the rainbow comes, right? Thankfully for my minor subjects, all we had to do were requirements like making a video, recording songs as well as plays. I was the lucky one who was picked as the Basilio of the group. Being the Basilio means i have TONS OF LINES, but the Lord sustained me. I was able to master my lines and delivered them without any mistakes on stage.i also made new friends. Looools. After the finals, i went home to my family. I went home to a news which would be my fall for the next few months. I received a news that involves my parents. Im not gonna elaborate but because of these information, i had several mental breakdowns and at one point, the one thing i don’t want to happen, happened. I melted down in front of my sister. Personally, i don’t want her to see me cry. I don’t want her to see me at my weakest point. This month started t all. Started all my emotional breakdowns and my anxiety is back from its grave. I really thought I’d already heal because i also went to my father’s home town to just have an emotional closure with the place. I visited some of the places i used to play in and visited my elementary school and the friends i used to play with. I really thought I’d be fine, but no. I was so so so stressed that the whole 2 weeks of my break, i was just lying down, wasn’t able to do a thing. I cant even eat. I got the flu. I was SO weak and couldn’t move. November. I went home for a little bit because of intramural break and went home again for The Jesus Reigns celebration because my sister performed on stage for the second year!!! Im so proud! December. I was home early. I went home on the 13th so i could attend my sister’s birthday party. Outside the house, it’s full of fun. Went out a bunch of times with my churchmates, bonded with them, we attended our church’s annual thanksgiving which i enjoyed, my sister and i was able to hang out in achi joanne’s house a lot more late. I went swimming with my friends, everything is actually fine outside. But then when im inside the house, it feels like im suffocating. I cant move well. I cant feel well. I honestly dont know how and what to feel right now. On Christmas day, i ate processed/packed chocolate chip cookies for Noche Buena instead of tita mom’s lumpia and then i cried. I didn’t even get a family photo for this year’s holiday season. I really really dont know. I feel numb and unable. I long for the connection with God which i know i have to work on. I’m so down and depression is eating me ones more. Little by little. Right now, i feel like I’m fat Thor Odinson. Depressed and feels like he failed with his mission in killing Thanos... I’m in a battle of my inner Thanos right now. I’m not losing but he isn’t either. But i know, I’m going to win this Battle because it is not I that’s handling it. It is God. I know He’s got my back and I’ll win because a child of Gos is NEVER a loser. I’m gonna win this fight, and just like what Cap said, Whatever it takes. I’ll do whatever it takes to win this fight. To win this Battle. This situation that I’m in right now should not really affect me in any way because i know that God’s with me and He’s going to fight for me. My life is “Father-filtered” which means whatever I’m going through right now, God has allowed it to happen. WHY? Because He is preparing me for my future battles. He wants me to gain more strength to carry on. I know that all these BREAKDOWNS of mine will become BREAKTHROUGHS. I know it and i believe in it. I trust in the Lord. 2020, Get ready for a stronger Micah. She’s not gonna give up on whatever you throw on her because her God is bigger than those problems.

Happy New Year Everyone!

God Bless You All!

South East Asia.

When I accepted my job in China, I was hoping I’d be able to travel, but to be frank, I wasn’t expecting to have the schedule that I got. Two entire months of paid vacation? I don’t know how I got so fortunate. I knew Alyssa was heading to Australia around the same time as my holidays and that we travel quite well together, so I threw at her the idea of travelling some of South East Asia with me on her way there, and she agreed without hesitation.

After a wonderful week spent in Cuba with my family, I met Alyssa at YVR airport to catch our flight to Bangkok, Thailand. My friends who had heard that I would be having an hour and a half layover in Vancouver, insisted on coming to the airport to see me, even though they knew it would be super rushed. (Talk about some good friends!) After getting my luggage, exiting arrivals and finding my check-in area, I was able to see them for all of about 5 minutes before needing to head to my gate, but it was so sweet nonetheless!

The flight went pretty smoothly, although we weren’t able to get seats together. I wasn’t able to get much sleep - I think all the travelling and switching of time zones was confusing my body a bit. We arrived in Bangkok in the afternoon, and were very generously picked up by Alyssa’s stepdad’s friend’s son, who lives in Bangkok. He drove us to a place close to our hostel to grab a bite to eat, and from there, walked us to our hostel. When we arrived, there was a huge mixup with our booking and the lady wanted to charge us for 8 people because when we selected 2 people on the website it reserved two 4-bed dorms. We argued back and forth for a while and even called the booking website to try and sort it out. We ended up finding another hostel just down the street, for even cheaper, so we checked-in, dropped our bags off and left to explore a little. We ended up walking around for a while and going for a little boat ride along the river after sunset, before ending our [long] day off at Khao San Road to wander around and get beers & Pad Thai for dinner!

The next day, we woke up at a decent hour to grab breakfast near our hostel before a full day of touring. We began at the Grand Palace, where we spent a few hours walking around, taking in all of its beauty, while trying to dodge the hoards of tourists. We then made our way towards the river, stopping to take a look at the newly completed Royal Crematorium on our way. The king had recently passed away, and we learned that in Thailand, when the king dies, the whole country spends an entire year mourning his death (and wearing only black clothing). After taking a boat bus across the river to Wat Arun, we spent some time walking around this much smaller temple, designed in a very different style than the Grand Palace. It was quiet, had way less tourists, and in my opinion, just a better temple overall. At this point, we were starving and pretty templed-out, so we took the boat back across the river and then stopped in a little restaurant for some life-changing tom yum soup & papaya salad, before taking a tuk-tuk back to our hostel so we could rest and freshen up. After a couple hours of hanging out, we walked to the train station to meet up with my friend Devan, who I had met in Europe years back, and was working as an English teacher in Bangkok. She was running behind schedule, so we found a restaurant with wifi and got a beer to kill some time. After meeting up with Devan, we got dinner at the street market in China Town, and then treated ourselves to some overpriced beverages and a beautiful view at a Skybar.

Our last day in Bangkok consisted of mostly walking around, and visiting the Siam Museum, which we had heard really good things about. It was a really interesting and interactive museum about ‘Thai-ness’ and how Thai culture has changed over the years because of tourism. We got back to our hostel with enough time to eat a little bit before catching an Uber to the bus station. We had heard that Bangkok highways were brutal (one way, elevated highways with infrequent exits), and that was the furthest thing from a lie. Turns out, we had typed the wrong bus station into our Uber app, and by the time we figured it out, we were stuck in a traffic jam, unable to exit or turn around for kilometres. We ended up arriving at the bus station 5 minutes after our bus was scheduled to depart. Even though we were convinced the bus had already left, we booked it up a flight of stairs, through the station, found our ticket desk, got our tickets, ran back through the station, down the stairs, found our platform and our bus, which had yet to leave. It was one of the most stressful hours of my life, but we had a good laugh about it once we actually sat down in our seats. We arrived in Krabi in the morning, made some last minute changes to our itinerary, and caught a shuttle to the pier, where from there, we took a boat to Koh Phi Phi.

Koh Phi Phi was wild. We were able to meet up with Alyssa’s friend who I also know from yeaaaaars ago (and is now the lead actor on a new NBC TV show, might I add). It was pretty cool to reconnect with her and get to hangout together in Thailand. We spent our time together mostly hanging out on the beach, sipping’ on cocktails or eating pad thai. Our hostel was right on the main beach, so we could lay and tan, while using our hostel’s free wifi - we were legit living the LIFE. On our first night, we met a group of guys at a bar, so naturally we ended up spending most of our time with them the following day, going kayaking through some caves, to a beach full of wild and ferocious monkeys. On our second day, after our kayaking adventure, we spent most of the evening at a pool party, and hanging out on the beach with some of our new friends. Things got pretty rowdy both nights, and I didn’t get much sleep at all.

From Koh Phi Phi, we made the long, long trip to Koh Tao. First by boat to Krabi, then by bus to Surat Thani, and finally a brutal 6-hour boat ride to Koh Tao. Neither Alyssa or I get motion sickness, but after an entire 4 hours of very bumpy waters, we were both feeling quite nauseous. We finally arrived at night, got dinner after checking into our hostel, and then went for a walk down to the beach. We went to bed quite early, and our good night’s sleep was very much needed. Our hostel was running a little excursion the following day, so we decided to partake in that. We spent the majority of the day snorkelling, tanning, and Alyssa learned that the worst sunburns can happen on the cloudiest of days. That afternoon, after the best meal of our entire trip in a little family-run restaurant, we went for a walk around town, and along the beach, before eventually getting dinner with a few of our roommates. Every night, there were fire shows on the beach, so we ended our day off by doing a bit of bar hopping and dancing along the beach. We made friends with a few guys from our hostel room, so we spent the following day with them, on scooters, exploring the island, snorkelling, and getting drinks on the beach at night. Late that night, we boarded a night ferry that would bring us back to the mainland, where we would then take a shuttle bus to Krabi. When we bought tickets, the man advised us that there were 2 different types of ferries, which alternated nights, and we had lucked-out, because we’d be travelling on the nice ship. Turns out he lied to us, because our ferry was very old, loud, and extremely crammed (matresses side by side on the floor), with no a/c. Hindsight 20/20, regardless of how awkward and uncomfortable that ferry was, we definitely should have taken one on the way there as well, just to save ourselves from wasting an entire day travelling.

We arrived in Krabi around breakfast time, and after a nice little meal at McDonald’s, we checked in to our hostel, quickly changed, got some wifi time in, and walked over to the beach. After a boat ride and a couple of hours spent at Railay beach, we decided to attempt a hike which we had read about in a few blogs. Honestly, it was one of, if not THE sketchiest hike of our lives, but it was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. Essentially, it led us up the side of a mountain, which we scaled, and then lowered ourselves down using ropes, ladders and roots of trees, eventually leading us to a secret lagoon in the middle of the mountain. Most people who attempted it, gave up around halfway, so when we actually made it to the end, we were almost alone, which made the whole thing that much better. When we finally got back to the hostel, we showered, dropped off a few bags of laundry at a laundromat, and got some convenience store ham & cheese taosties. That night, we hungout with our new friends we had made (an Aussie girl and 2 british boys), who were on both the same ferry and shuttle bus as us from Krabi. We spent some time at our hostel’s rooftop bar, then went to checkout a few other bars, and finished the night off with a nice little 3am swim. The following day we mostly took it easy, first sleeping in, then hanging out with the british boys, and walking around town before getting on our shuttle bus to the airport in the afternoon. When we got to our Air Asia check-in desk and gave the agent our passports, he couldn’t find our reservation in the system. After a few minutes of looking further into it, he figured out it was because our flight was for the exact same time, but the day before. GREAT.

As expected, we were pretty irritated when we got to Chiang Mai. After missing our flight and having to pay for a whole new one, to top it off, when we finally arrived at our hostel, it was so ghetto and had NO working wifi. As if things couldn��t get any worse. We both went out to find some much needed food and wifi, and spent some time booking a few busses and hostels before heading to bed. The next morning I woke up early to grab breakfast and find us a new hostel. After checking out of our horrible hostel and moving to a new one down the street, we went to visit an elephant sanctuary and spent the afternoon hanging out with some gentle giants. We met some of the local native people who introduced us to the sanctuary and the elephants, before spending a few hours feeding them, taking them for a walk and then helping clean them. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done and something I’ll remember for a long long time. When we got back to our hostel in the afternoon, we washed up and headed out to the biggest street market I’ve ever seen, to grab some food and do a bit of souvenir “window” shopping. We wanted to checkout a bit of the nightlife, so before heading to bed, we walked from our hostel to an area with a ton of bars, and did some people watching. The next morning we woke up before daylight to catch our bus to Pai. We were warned by friends that the road to Pai was extremely winding, and to prepare to feel sick, even if neither of us were prone to car sickness. Alyssa woke up feeling very sick as it is, so she had a bit of a rough ride to say the least, but we made it in one-piece.

Pai was so so wonderful. There is so much hype aroud this “hippie” town in the mountains, and to be quite honest, I can see why people love it, but it’s not somewhere I would have wanted to stay for weeks. Our days consisted entirely of scootering in the mountains, exploring waterfalls, visiting temples and taking in all of the beauty that is northern Thailand. At night we spent some time walking around town, going to the market and getting Thai massages, which was quite the experience. Alyssa was trying to get over her sickness, so she stayed pretty low key, only joining me on the second day of scootering.

The following morning, we woke up really early to catch the first bus back to Chiang Mai. Our bus to Laos wasn’t until night, so we decided to spend the day exploring as much of the city as we could, considering we didn’t see much of it at all before heading up to Pai. We locked up our belongings at the bus station, grabbed coffee and lunch, and then headed to Doi Suteph, a beautiful temple at the top of a mountain, overlooking the city. After spending some time there wandering around and taking pictures, we had the worst Uber experience of our lives and got into a full yelling match with the driver, who reluctantly agreed to drop us off at Nimmanhaemin, a sort of modern, hip area with tons of cute boutiques and cute restaurants, where we spent the rest of the evening before heading back to the bus station and catching our overnight bus to Nong Khai, a little town on the border with Laos.
