august again

i missed writing in this blog last july...where was i then? i have been so busy with my research. among other things. esp. facebook. it is the bane of my blogging hobby, most of the time. but i will try to maintain some presence in my blog.

during the last week of july i took a couple of days leave coz my sister, her son and friends came to visit bangkok. so i spent most of the time with them in the city. but i had time to do some work as well when i was not with them. we enjoyed the time together but they were here for just a few days so there was not enough time to show them around. probably they will come back to do more sightseeing and shopping.

with my nephew at Asiatique, Bangkok

after that i had to go to the field for research work. coming back at the end of the week (august already) i felt my body finally gave in to exhaustion. i had to take a rest as i felt quite unwell, due to colds. it is good that we had this long weekend and so i was able to rest some. no need to wake up early, i can sleep in and just relax. sleep when i want to.

tomorrow is 5th aug, my grandfather's 111 years' birthday. whenever i think of my lolo medyong, i think of integrity, honesty, loyalty and hard work, in whatever task you are faced with.
