I don't think I have mentioned this in my previous post, we are staying at Centara Grand again. Hubby's conference venue is at Bangkok Convention Center which is conveniently connected to the hotel.
Anyway, I was busy looking at wedding programs online yesterday when the phone rang. It was from the Guest Relations.
GRO: Madam, I heard your son is sick....
Me: Oh, he's feeling better now. Thank you.
GRO: That's great. We have something for him, if that's okay with you.
Me: Okayyyyy.....?
GRO: I will be in your room in about 10 minutes.
This is what we got from them. A get well soon card and a rubiks cube. Never mind that EJ still doesn't know how to play it. It's the thought that counts.
Everyday they also put some little knick knacks in our room. They put a plateful of banana on the first day. On the second day they put some dried tamarind candies. I wonder what they will put on our table today? =)
Love ko na talaga ang Centara Grand. LOL!
Yesterday morning, we had another bit of a scare again. Just when EJ's fever was down, he had a nosebleed! Both hubby and I were very alarmed. Good thing the hotel has in-house doctor.
The doctor said the nosebleeding might have been caused by a forceful nose picking or the high fever that EJ had the previous day. She gave us antibiotic and a decongestant. And the bill! Omg! We paid $175 for the visit and two bottles of syrup. I've never paid this much before. LOL! But for EJ's safety and our peace of mind, it was worth it.
Anyway after looking at some stone sinks we went to the cinema and treated EJ to his first cinema experience in the evening. He was feeling good and he wanted to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 again eventhough he's watched it several times at home.
Look at the smile. He said "Mommy, this is fun!"
I was quite apprehensive about bringing EJ to the cinema. I felt he was not yet ready. I was scared he'd make a spectacle inside the cinema like cry or something. But surprise! He sat there perfectly and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Yippee!!! We're gonna be watching movies again at the cinema. If only, there are cinemas in PP. LOL!
We're in Bangkok again. And no, we're not here for shopping. Hubby has a conference and we're tagging along. We'll be here for 5 days.
We almost did not join hubby though. EJ had a high fever early Saturday morning but seemed okay the night before our flight. Today at the airport, he was cranky and feverish again.
We were worried. There's an outbreak of cholera in PP. And I heard some kids in some school have mumps and chicken pox. But we still decided to come here. If anything else, Bangkok has better medical facilities than PP.
Thank God, EJ's okay now. His fever is gone. He's active again and looks happy to be surounded with toys.
Now it's time I get some sleep. I haven't been sleeping well the past two nights monitoring EJ's temperature.
I plan to wake up late tomorrow. After all it's international women's day =)
No, not shopping in Bangkok. Only here in PP.
Yesterday, my friends and I went to Boeng Keng Kang or BKK market for short. It's like a mall with everything on it. Only it is cramped and hot. LOL!
Seriously, I like going to tiangges here. I always score a deal. Like yesterday I got a Hendrix jeans for $1.75 all thanks to Ate Elm'z negotiating skills. I was so ecstatic!
After an hour inside BKK market, I look like this:
I was sweating profusely and I felt like I was going to pass out any minute. It was soooo hot but I love every minute of it. LOL!!!
Something got me excited today. There is an upcoming fair here in PP and I am going to join. Well, at least that is my plan. I have invited my friends and they are joining too.
I don't know yet what to sell. I have to work it out with my friends so we don't clash or something. But I am really excited. Maybe accessories? Maybe food?
I have been itching to do something other than research eczema causes. There's nothing wrong with it but being in a fair with my friends is something else.
Now I gotta research some stuff. LOL!
According to a survey, those people who own more than 1 fitness equipment (bought as refurbished fitness equipment or new, doesn't matter) are likely to be fit and healthy.
I have two yoga mats, a pair of weights, 2 skipping/jumping rope, and a pedometer. I am planning to buy an exercise ball. So what does that say about me? A fitness equipment freak. LOL!!!
Seriously, hubby and I are really trying hard to be fit . We even have a competition, who could lose more weight. We started it last week and so far, he's lost more weight than I had. Ugh!
I love food. And I realize that I couldn't skimp on food. I could eat more of the healthy kind though but I couldn't afford not to eat. It's totally unhealthy too.
And my only solution to the problem is I could exercise more. Yesterday I did 1 hour exercise in the morning. Then in the afternoon, I did 15 minutes of jumping rope. And before I went to bed, I did another 15 minutes of jumping rope. I was not tired. Best of all, I did not feel hungry because I had snacks in between meals.
I hope this really works. I don't want to lose to hubby. LOL!!!
This is our view.
And we ordered these:
Cold tomato soup. It wasn't so great for me. I think I still like my soup to be hot.
Grilled seafood platter. Hubby and I shared this but we still weren't able to finish it off. Sobrang dami!
And of course, the obligatory photo before going back to our room. LOL! We did have a great time. There's something about eating under the stars.
