0:05 ....Awake.... just after midnight ....
it's ugly outside.....and it looks like there is a lake in front of my house ....
An email..... my 6:50 am flight on Saturday the 22nd was changed to 16:50 ....that will not do.....
0:30
I've called GotoGate (of course they have to be in Canada) and requested a cancellation and refund for that changed flight...
4:00
A knock on the door ...... 9 1/2 is back
No kissing this time...even though I brushed my teeth
he comes huge loads !
I doze off while he watches the same routine: music, soccer, kickboxing, bonsai ....
5:00
He's off, asking for money for breakfast, 90 is not enough apparently, I give him 500 (that's only CAD25) and say "ve di, qua dat tien "......but then he has to justify his homo experiences as earning income....
Whatever... I need to get some more sleep before today's trip to Tuy Hoa
nap
6:20
smile on my face ;-)
 |
| high tide means dirty beach |
7:15
Talk to Eda for a long time..... her life is so much more complicated than mine....
8:00
Talk to Andrea for a long time...
 |
| deer in her garden |
.. she agrees..... as we get older, priorities have to change ..... she even approves of the fisherman ;-)
9:00
What now ? .....
putter putter putter
nap again
10:45
It is still UGLY outside.....
I try to call My .... but no answer
11:00
My calls back..... I'll take the taxi at 14:00.... no point in torturing myself by riding through the rain for 2 hours on a scooter....
12:00
I've booked my ticket to Phnom Penh with IwoFly..... seems to work.....
12:30
No wine at the Blue Umbrella Store....but I buy 500k in phone minutes.....
12:45
Candy drops by for cheese and ham ;-)
12:50
A Zalo message from Thanh VH... "Helo".....
I make a drinking date with him for October 25.
hihihi.....I'm going to have a Harem ;-)
13:45
Time to get my act together and get going !
15:45
Tuy Hoa: Poor My had to drive for almost 2 hours to get us here because the road is so bad......he refuses extra pay.... but he gets a free lunch..... unfortunately the Bun Cha place was closed again.....so it has to be Pizza Bob....
16:15
I'm set up in my room while I'm typing this.....
16:45
I want to go to the store.....but I am SO TIRED..... even though I slept in the car......
nap
18:15
more Phap messages.....he will be here tomorrow afternoon....
18:30
Store.....grapes, spoons, yogurt.....
Watch Sissi on Netflix
20:30
SO TIRED .....
but I keep drinking and watching Sissi ;-)
22:00
Time to hit the bed....
5:00
still TIRED..and it's cold in the room....and I have to wait maybe all day ?.... dark thoughts are coming back .....
6:00
The new Viet visa is still processing.....slow this time....
6:30
I better have another nap before I get too drunk .... my phone bings...... pictures of the mail from Eda....I forgot about her.....
doze
8:00
I finally feel well rested....
5 year GIC rates are at 4.70% .....holy shit....
Shave, shower.....and I'm starting to get ANGRY again
9:50
I call Eda......WHY should I NOT dump him?
She's trying to talk me down.....
10:00
A Zalo message to Phap...... Afternoon is WHAT TIME?
Bun Cha ;-)
12:15
I call Eda again.....because I am FURIOUS......
13:15
The only reason he doesn't get a nasty mail is because he hasn't used Zalo since yesterday..... probably left his phone in Sai Gon......
nap
14:30
I walk to the beach......
I DO send another message: Phap sap tat Han (Phap is about to lose Han) ....and yes, I am a Drama Queen
15:00
I'm sweating from the sun
15:45
And I go crazy.....I book the panorama suite at Sala for 2 nights..... I'm going to leave here..... let Phap be freaked for a change.....
16:00
Drunk and checking out and moving to Sala Grand .....
 |
| the Welcome Tea |
 |
| the view from the balcony of the corner suite |
I haven't even unpacked my laptop yet.....when the phone rings.... it's a WORRIED looking Phap in front of the Hong Hai wood paneling..... "WHERE ARE YOU NOW?"
One look at that puppy face and I tell him where I am.... he walks over (15 mins)....and everything is fine again....
Room service brings a complimentary bottle of wine?
really?
we talk on the balcony....he says "I sorry"....I'm just HAPPY to see him.... his parents didn't give him a motorbike....it took him an hour to take the bus from his village to here.....barely 25km away....
18:30
Pizza Bob with Phap..... I'm sad I didn't bring my phone... the fountains are executing the most beautifully choreographed dances while there is classical music playing .....and the people are enjoying their city..... what a contrast to Canada ...
6:00 techtelmechtel.....as usual he doesn't get off .... morning is not his time
7:45
OMG, I slept a lot... and OMG, does he look SEXY sleeping
emails from EDA.....OMFG she cleaned Grandma's bathroom and the bedroom and organized the rooms ....
 |
| WHAT TF is it with people who want TWO sinks.....can't brush your teeth over ONE sink ??? |
10:00
We sit on the balcony looking at the ocean, when the maid sticks her head onto the balcony ... I exclaim "khong don dep !"... and she leaves
I figure out how to turn on the red light outside the front door.....it's a switch above the thermostat....I set the light to do not disturb....
10:00
Bun Cha with Phap
holding hands, nuzzling, pecking..... with another session (he likes that one ;-) (and while we cuddle in post-climactic bliss, the phone rings...it's the maid again wanting to clean the room)...
But after a while it gets boring.... he doesn't want to do anything.... he's happy just holding hands and watching TV..... maybe I'm too high-strung for that ?
15:00
He leaves....not without asking for 5 trieu to pay off some remaining debt.... disappointment.... but hey... that's what I paid for my luxury room
15:30
A taxi trip to Coop.mart..... Maybe the driver REALLY doesn't know where coop.mart is but when I get out my cell phone, keep looking left, and say "Nguoi Tay biet coop.mart o dau" he quickly says Xin Loi and starts driving in the right direction.... and at coop.mart he charges less than the meter says and waits for free.....they do that here....because they wait all day ... it doesn't occur to them that they could charge for that....
16:30
I can't decide on my room in Phnom Penh.... Ohana for US$ 117 or Luxury for $236 ? My world has shifted.....those $236 are for 3 nights..... In Vancouver I wouldn't get a room for one night for that money.
I finally have time to take pictures.....
17:00
OK....I'm taking the Penthouse .... (in retrospect: St00pid ;-)
18:30
Vietjet online check in says "this reservation code does not exist or has not been paid yet"..... OH FUCK....I find the confirmation email that I paid .....
18:45
I head down to the lobby.... Despite the advertising on the room key card, there is NO shuttle bus to the airport..... IDIOTS....
19:10
I head out for walk, with my phone, in the hope of catching the fountain magic I witnessed yesterday.... but it's not happening tonight..
.. maybe because it is a school night ?
21:30 I can't sleep .... too many things happening..... OMFG.... I am truly LIVING my life ....
