The Marimar Connection: Short but Sweet Conversation with Cambodian Vendors

Hello from Siem Reap! I am on my 5th night here and to be honest, I don’t want to leave! I just love the laid-back feel of this place. It is not as chaotic as other tourist destinations and it is a big relief that most Cambodians can speak english.

It’s just the second day of our Angkor Wat Tour yet I’m already experiencing the so-called Temple Overload. I can’t help but feel amazed on how the ancient Cambodians created these temples and structures. Temple-hopping on a very hot day is not really that ideal because you the heat will suck your energy.

That morning, we first visited the famous Ta Prohm temple. If you’re a Tomb Raider fan, you will surely know why. I got too tired in exploring that specific temple that’s why I got a bit lazy on the second stop, which is the Pre Rup. I seated in one of the corners where some of the tired tourists were taking a break. I then saw a Cambodian man in his mid-twenties who unleashes his creative side by painting some of Siem Reap’s historical landmarks and sell it to tourists. On the side, there are young kids selling various products like bracelets, bamboo flute and postcards.

Micamyx and Adaphobic on Tek Tok TV

Guesting on a TV show with one of your craziest blogger friend on a Saturday is fun! Yesterday, Ada Lajara of Adaphobic and I went to Global News Network’s studio for the advanced taping of Tek Tok TV. It is a tech show aired every Wednesday morning in Destiny Cable’s Global News Network. It is hosted by Vince Golangco of WhenInManila.com and of course, my ever sexy friend Hannah Villasis of FlairCandy.com.

Mica and Ada with Vince before the final take

Ada and I were quite excited when we received the invitation from Vince to finally guest on the show. Usually, the blogger feature part is concentrated on one blogger per show. I guess two is better than one especially if the two bloggers featured on the episode share a lot of things in common.  During the interview, we were able to share some of our personal insights about blogging, the benefits of being a blogger and gave random tips for the newbies. The fun part is when we were asked to narrate on how Ada and I became good friends and we were able to share some of our travel pictures (then I realized we’ve to a LOT of places already! :P )

My PBB Teen Clash of 2010 Big Winner is Ivan Dorschner

Pinoy Big Brother fanatics all over the world are excited for the upcoming big night of the PBB Teen Clash of 2010. As a fan of Pinoy Big Brother since it started, I can say that for the teen edition, the viewers are not only searching for a certain role model for the youth. They’re also looking for someone whom they wish to see on the teleseryes and movies soon. Take for example its past winners like Kim Chiu and Ejay Falcon.

Ivan Dorsner

As someone who works for a magbloid, I am tasked to sort out pictures sent to us by in-house and contributing photographers. I remember that during the grand launch of PBB Teen Clash of 2010, the one and only housemate that really caught my attention is Ivan Dorschner (Ivan Dorsner). I was able to catch the video of Ivan’s entrance in the PBB house and my, he does remind me of my celebrity crush Cogie Domingo during his younger days. I hope someone agrees with me on that claim LOL.

Ang Pagbabago sa TV5: Para Sa’yo, KAPATID!

Kanina ko pa sinusubukang gumawa ng napakagandang artikulo rito sa aking blog tungkol sa pagbabagong naganap sa TV5 noong nakaraang Marso 25, 2010 sa World Trade Center, pero tila nahihirapan talaga ako sa hindi ko mawaring dahilan kaya akin na lang itong isusulat sa Wikang mas kaya kong magkwento ng buong puso at walang pag-aalinlangan.

TV5_Grand_Launch_Kapatid122

Masaya ako na nakadalo ako noong nakaraang Huwebes sa World Trade Center para sa napaka-engrandeng pagtitipon na inihanda ng mga taong bumubuo sa mas palaban at mas maliksing TV5. Hindi na sila ka-Shake ngayon, kundi mga Kapatid na. Ayos, ‘di ba?

Huwag ninyo akong kontrahin kung sabihin kong isa akong malaking tagahanga ng TV5. Kung mabibigyan nga lang ako ng pagkakataon ay nanaisin ko talagang magtrabaho dun at maging opisyal na Kapatid. Nakikita mo kasi na handa silang sumugal para mas lalong umangat ang kanilang kumpanya at mas mapagbigyan ang gusto ng mga masa at sosyalerang manonood.

Sinu-sino ba ang mga naispatan ko noong gabing iyon? Teka, magkukuwento na nga lang ako sa pamamagitan ng sandamakmak na larawang nakunan ko gamit ang aking kamera. Eto na!
