( Adventures, adventures )


          I got to spend the Christmas holiday in another country — Thailand. The trip was from December 11-27, and those days were the best 7 days of my life. The days were packed with destinations, but it was difficult to get tired, since it was so enjoyable. Throughout the trip, I collected stickers to remember those destinations.


Day 1: Arrival

        I remember how thrilled I was that day since it was my first experience traveling out of the country. I knew I had to fasten my seatbelt for the adventurous holiday that was about to untangle. We rode a van on the way to Laoag and waited 3 hours for our flight to Manila. After the 3-hour wait, we proceeded to go back inside the airport for our flight. The time to board then comes. During the flight duration, my ears hurt; it’s a good thing that my mom told me advice about it beforehand. Our next flight was from Manila to Thailand, which we waited another 5 hours for. There was never a dull moment within that time, as we played numerous rounds of Uno. 5 hours came by fast, and it was then the time to board, which I remember being so perked up about. 4 hours came by so fast that I couldn't believe it; I was actually in Thailand now. We ate after checking into the hotel, given how hungry we were after the flight.


Day 2: 350 Baht

        The day started with us going to the train market; in this market is a train passing by, so the vendors quickly fix their designated area. I have to admit that the train was underwhelming, for it was a lot slower than expected. 

        Proceeding to the next destination, the floating market. I was confused at first, how could a market float? But that was my bad, I didn't think it through. Along the boat ride, there were plenty of stops, mainly for food. We also stopped by a big souvenir shop, where we got scammed 350 baht for an inhaler.

        Our last destination for the day was packed with elephants. I got to ride an elephant. I was so thrilled despite the bumpy ride; there was even a time it went down a pond-like area. It was quite a unique experience.


Day 3: Truly a Dream

        Moving on to Dream World, which I believe to live up to its name. The area was full of photogenic scenes, as well as exciting rides. During this time, my adventurous side kicked in, so I rode and tested all of the roller coaster rides. My personal favorite was the black hole, a roller coaster ride where darkness could only be seen. The food stalls are also worth a mention. Furthermore, there were enclosed areas such as Snowland, that I enjoyed the most after the black hole. Being in that area made me grasp the experience of being in actual snow, considering that the Philippines isn't capable of such. With this being said, it is a dream, indeed. 


Day 4: Christmas Night Out 

      In the night, we went to Iconsiam to eat on a cruise. When we arrived, I remember being stunned by the scenery. Not only that, but I also saw popular Thai idols, who are called LYKN. Proceeding to our cruise ride, I had no words. To be able to eat while on a cruise ride means the number of scenery is unlimited. It was such a beautiful experience on Christmas night.




Day 5: Customs Unravelled 

           This day was for sure a unique experience, and I am uncertain whether it would happen again. In the afternoon, we seized the opportunity to have a photo shoot while wearing the traditional clothing of Thailand. Wearing it made me realize that their culture is so pretty that I want to dive into it.



                                                                 


                                                                Day 6: God's Creations, Indeed

        In the afternoon, we went to Nongnooch, a botanical garden in Thailand. I wasn't the biggest fan of plants. Not that I hate it, but I just don't notice it much. The place is well-maintained, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that no piece of trash could be found anywhere. After the Nongnooch exploration, we went to watch many plays and performances, with one showing the traditional dance cultures of Thailand. It was interesting, I was intrigued. Another show we watched was the elephant show, wherein smart and trained elephants showcase different skills that people may think only humans can do. Furthermore, another animal show was the dolphin show. This show also showcased how smart and trained animals can be. The last show was The Spy War. This was my personal favorite. All the actors were amazing in playing their roles, and the well-made props made the show more impactful.



Day 7: Faith is Beauty        

        On the last day of our trip, we decided to dedicate ourselves to the exploration of religion. We visited temples and palaces where Buddha is featured. I found the Lying Buddha the most interesting since it was so large. After the afternoon exploration. We went on another cruise for the last time before going back to the Philippines. The cruise trip was so amazing; we felt more connected and comfortable since one of the singers was a Filipina. My relatives danced along, showing signs of contentment and happiness. It was a memorable last day of the trip, indeed.


         

        Throughout the seven days, not only was I able to experience different things I hadn't experienced before, but I also grew closer to my relatives, and I admit I grew far from them when I started puberty. I got to say, it's the best week of my life.

Strongest People With the Kindest Hearts

       They go through numerous struggles, go through sleepless nights, go through heaping workloads, go through psychological drawbacks. However, they go through every predicament with a strong mind, with the same objectives in mind – to mentor, to inspire, to guide, and to develop a person by providing the direction they need. First of all, teachers show how dedicated they are to providing their students with general and academic knowledge; with their love for teaching, they can instill a positive atmosphere wherein students have a comfortable learning zone while being encouraged to explore various learning areas. To have a comfortable learning zone is pivotal for students, for such an environment can and will help them be nurtured with empowering skills and creativity. Teachers are often dubbed as our second parents, but other than that, I confidently consider them as students’ learning buddies in life.      Apart from teachers being learning buddi...

Tagged My Way Through

          In the blink of an eye, another quarter passes. Who knew that time could pass by faster than it already does? Throughout the whole quarter, I enjoyed creating blog posts, as well as learning HTML tags.           HTML tags are the first thing I learned in ICT this quarter. It was simple at first, starting with the stand-alone tags <br>(line break), and <hr>(horizontal rule), which don't need an end tag. As time went by, more and more HTML tags were discussed by our teacher, Ma'am Evelyn; it got more and more complicated along the way. For instance, I often made mistakes in the encoding process; may I have been mistyping or forgetting to put some symbols. Moreover, I have two favorite moments, with my reasoning being having the freedom to do whatever I want. First, I liked the color attribute because it allowed me to choose what color I wanted. Second, saving pictures gave me a chance to name the file freely...

          When two love birds collide , a precious gem is delivered. Being named Airish Yafa Landicho, my name is a combination of both my parents' creativity. I was born in Israel, but my father and I returned to the Philippines when I was 3 months old. I initially lived in Leynes, Talisay Batangas. However, I moved to Ilocos Sur to fulfill my first level of education. As of the present time, I have two siblings that I consider my dearest in life.     First of all, I am a   student who excels in a few subjects. Despite having weaknesses, I focus on the positives and strengths. I consider my smartness as my big strength. With this, I managed to top classes. Every year, I am high honors, thanks to the Lord and those people who support and love me.   In conclusion, I do not need to be  about my weaknesses. I have my strengths and weaknesses. Everyone does. So, the best thing to do is to think positively. This way, we can be a goo...
