HIRAYA with Jensevzen

Hello Vietnam and Cambodia

These draft has been here for around ten years now so I am uploading 'em to set the memory free 😆

Lost

Yesterday was one of those days when she lost herself. The thing is, she thought she fully knew him already. Turns out, she didn't. And once again that thing called love turned into an illusion. Who would have thought that after ten years the same thing would happen? Sigh, hello sadness my old friend, she quipped walking along the bushy side of the trail she looked above and saw birds on flight and as if on cue, a teardrop fell. She loves him, that’s for sure, so much that he allowed him to change her to a certain degree. What was she again before they met? Oh yes, an ambitious girl who wanted to change the world. She knew exactly what she wanted, knew exactly what to do next, and happiness was at the tip of her fingertips to achieve. But insanity took over when they touched, and her curiosity must have been greater than her survival instincts that he allowed him to take over her life. Was the decision wise? Surely, it wasn’t. She wouldn’t be crying now if it was the right move. So, what now? Is it okay to just swallow her pride once more? Or should she choose to move on and say goodbye to love? By the way, was it love all along? Or yeah insanity that is. She thinks the best way to go on with life is to accept reality that indeed, true love and honesty are non-existent. Best not to believe that he loves her, less she be disappointed repeatedly and hurt.

Another Place to check out in Elyu- Ynad's Place Hotel and Resort

 

Okay, so time to update this blog on my long overdue staycations mmm more of work-leisure sleep-work-eat repeat adventures misadventures. 

When you are with friends at work, even a simple elevator ride becomes a breather and an absolute simple joy! So this post was a day and night at one of the resorts in La Union- Ynad's Place Hotel and Resort. 

I always check out the bed first in every hotel. For shared accommodations I love being able to choose the best area in the room to park my weary body after mind boggling, grueling work 🤣. Can you guess which bed I chose? 👀

So, whatever one needs it's there on the counter. Wifi, phone, drinks and menu for dine in orders from the hotel restaurant. 

So there I chose the bed near the comfort room hoping against all hope my friends would not be disturbed by my snores 😅but lo and behold of course as always I lulled them to sleep (read, the exact opposite) with my Zzzzz and more Zzzzzz 😆

Anyway next I usually check out the comfort room next for hmmm unlimited selfies. I look haggard here gee, which actually is my natural look. I am turning golden this year so no point of arguing on that haha. 

So, there's the bath area at Ynad's. The room is large enough for a comforting stay. 

And there's the pool aglow at night, invitingly blue and green with refreshing plants all around. However, my old muscles were too lazy to dip and my mind was too distracted to enjoy the water 😆but yes, I bet swimming would be great in there!

Then, came the food! It was the birthday treat of one of our friends- "ate ma'am Girlie" and yes, we had a blast! Above was Ynad's Frito Platters- "squid, mozzarella stick, onion rings served with french fries and tartare sauce. 

and this was their creamy and cheesy nachos- nachos in bolognese sauce with cream cheese sauce. 

Look at those pretty happy faces! The birthday girl- ate ma'am "Girlie" is the one next to me. Doc ate Gretch (the one in white) has embraced retirement already so I guess this photo deserves posting as one of my core memories working with these wonderful ladies. 

Check out their menu for more savory, comforting food. 

mmm the above I brought with me, my comforting warm milk and "hopia"- hope yah love me too 😏

And this was the pool at daytime reminding me to go visit Ynad's Place Hotel and Resort one more time in the coming days. Though living in La Union which has quickly become one of the major tourist destinations in the country the past years I haven't been taking advantage of the beautiful places here. I

think I have been too busy with work and school and missing out on much needed RnR (a fact I must admit 😅).

So, there goes another blog post for today! 

Check out Ynad's Place Hotel and Resort on their FB page here. 

In case I inspired you to check out, my previous La Union posts are here.
