| "Bangkok: Among Discovery" |
I've always loved vans, mainly because sliding doors that you see on minivans & cargo vans fascinate me. When I first took the public vans to get to college & back, I felt good to use a sliding door as well as getting to be frugal with my transportation costs. Taxi's are expensive, and buses are downright out of the question- they're not as safe(there have been robbing incidents with buses here) & they don't go directly to my destinations.
Bangkok I have to admit, is a very lively city to live in. Go shopping by day and enjoy the night life at night. I don't often go downtown unless I have to. If it's not errands, then it's for photography. If I could choose anywhere I would want to regulary shoot, it would be the west coast in the US, or Monument Valley. But there's nothing like that in Thailand, so for me it's in Bangkok & the city lights. I do the best I can out of what I got.
For some reason lately, I've thought about what interests me and most can only be done in the countryside- like paragliding or RC flying. And I would love to have the freedom to choose to work & play wherever & whenever I want. Yes, it took me a while to realize of how much freedom my inner soul was wanting and all these years. Finishing college is the only way out for me, and that's the next 2 years!
When my family and I evacuated to Pattaya last October, I wasn't all to comfortable about the change of scenery. But when I was there, I loved the mornings. It felt 100% worth it to wake up at 6AM or earlier to see the sunrise and walk down the beach. I loved the fresh sea breeze smell, the wind against my face, the sinking of my feet in the soft sand whenever I did. The big city has none of those. All I get is the cramped mornings; my dad needs to go to work and I have to hitch along. I hated to not have any wind blow against my face. I wasn't 100% comfortable walking on hard cement sidewalks. And especially, I couldn't at all see the sunrise!
Okay, by now you may all think I'm whining. All right I am indeed whining, just to let steam out. None can be done now other than trying to finish and get my damned piece of paper that will satisfy companies. Let's see how financially productive I can get in this 2 year period, whenever it's a part time job or earning passive income online. If I succeed in my app-design class, I may whip up something awesome for iPad users to use. Or perhaps get a 'real' website going!
And you yourself may be in love with living in the big city. If you do, I am happy for you. If not, you can nod with me on this blog entry. Keep in mind that I don't hate the city (I love certain types of architecture that can be seen here), I'm just in a little rut; which is normal among many people around the world. Everybody needs a change once in a while, and I need one too. Do you think we're all meant to be on our feet all the time? Who knows? We've hunted animals back in the old days for our families to eat & survive. Is it our inner calling to re-connect with nature?
In retrospect, I'm okay with this city. I just need a little change. And I believe I can wait for 2 years to reach my freedom...
