Fire Training

'The importance of portable fire extinguishers?'

Answer: 'Your first line of DEFIANCE!'

I had to try. I wanted to put out this fire.

You dunk a sheet of heavy burlap in water...

Then you slowly lay it on top of the fire. In principle, it would work on small fires.

Here's Noelene firing the powder fire extinguisher. I was scared to try it because my Junya Watanabe shoes might get soiled with the white powder. hehehe!

My Blogger is NOT Working!

Yes pips, it's true. I've tried everything and it's not working. The buttons to upload the pictures are missing so I can't post pictures. It's just error on page everytime I refresh or open a new post. And if you haven't noticed my posts are all about the pictures. I don't even blabber that much. So this blog can't continue unless I or some miracle can fix this problem.

On other news, I'm quite alone here in Siem Reap since the Ramos Famille is in Las Islas Filipinas. Loven will be opening an exhibit tomorrow at breathing space at iiideas gallery (ideas shop, 2/f unit 102, first midland office building, gamboa street, legaspi village, 1260 makati city, philippines). Cocktails around 7pm so I hope you pips in Manila could support Loven in there.

Since nobody is home I asked the good pips at my hotel to adopt me for a week. So now I'm staying here. Kinda like a vacation for me also.

Yesterday Loven and Fate called me and they checked out Eairth at Soumak. I've been obsessing about the brand lately and i can't wait to own a piece or two. Asked them to buy me a scarf and a tee. I kindly asked them also to check out Homme et Femme if they stocked the latest Margiela AIDS tee. I collect those and I want to add another one to my lot. Fate told me my friend Rofel sent me a bunch of magazines where my work was featured and I definitely can't wait to check it out. Also, Peer, Michael and Jor-el sent me stuff. A Hussein Chalayan shirt, a Helmut Lang pants, a Dries van Noten top and other branded stuff. Me like! What an early Christmas gift! Or is this the 2007 Christmas gift? Hehehe. I also can't wait to see it. Good thing they know my size and the brands I like. I know, I'm such a brand whore.

Tita Jaki and Tito Butz is coming this May here in Siem Reap. I hope it works fine with my schedule coz I really want to be with them when they are here. I need a break and I usually don't take a break because honestly there's nothing to do. Correction, there are a lot of things to do but it's not fun when your friends are not with you. I won this horse ride at John& Narisa's masquerade party last week and I think I'l be saving those for when they are here.

Let me list the restaurants they should try here:
1. Sugarpalm
2. Meric
3. AHA
4. Ginga
5. Blue Pumpkin
6. the Japanese resto at Sokha Hotel
7. l'Angelo
8. Pho de Paris
9. Mother Guru
10.Angkor Century Lounge
11.Kamasutra
12.Paris Saigon
13.Amansara
14.Bubble Tea
15.BBQ Place

There are other nice places to go to but not for eating. Some only for the ambience and drink, others for coffee and desserts.

Siem Reap Night

Taken from X Bar. Pub street scene below.

LV sighting: 4 pochettes

Ginga

Dinner at Ginga.

Been craving for unagi for the longest time and everytime we are at Basho they're always out of it. So I didn't pass the chance to order their unagi set. It comes with tempura, miso soup, shrimp salad and salmon & tuna sushi.

Yummy! And so fat! I swear it's nakakahigh blood.

Loven and Fate

moi. I'm definitely going back there.

Street Scene Siem Reap

Snack carts.

Popular yan dito. They sell fruits and kakanin stuff.

Siem Reap tour on foot.

What to do on a lazy Saturday day-off? Why, pose of course!

Dave and the door of the house.

Moi, just taking advantage of the cool light.

We decide to explore Siem Reap by foot. Wala lang. Pretend we were tourists.

Ang laki ni Humpfalump.

Leaves dancing to the tune of the wind. Forgive my poetic shit.

Trees dream in color green and brown.

Bad Bambi, baaaaaaaaaad!

Bambi and friends.

moi, and Crocky

Dave and the Tigger





We went inside Wat Promrat, a Buddhist temple. My first time here.

Ok naman. We saw some monks but I didn't take pix. I don't know the rule eh.

Baka may bayad. hehehe I know! I'm so kuripot kaya! hehehe

Drying bananas for frying and grilling. It's a popular snack here. But not like our bananacue. They don't use much sugar here.



Those are stupas or something akin to our puntod. Khmers practice cremation and then they put the ashes in the stupas after.

Outside the wat we saw this flyer pasted on one of the post.

Fabulous talaga?! We know the pips at Cambojam and I don't think they would love it if they are called fabulous. Mukha tuloy silang mga badaf. wehehehe!

Dave has to see the Angkor Trade (mini)Mall

What's that again? Hight Light?

rrj? dito sa siem reap?! please, have mercy on me! don't be here!

Dave. We decided to recharge at Blue Pumpkin.
