Chasing Sunrise in Cambodia

Oh, what a grueling sched I have nowadays that I wish it’s gonna be 26 hours a day!  (Before, I was only wishing for 25 but with the over overload, another hour extension is greatly desired.)  I am just too busy with my senior high school and college loads that maintaining this blog ended up last on my priority list.  Huhuhu…..  Forgive me, my dear blog readers but I will really really try to do my very best in keeping up with this as this is my passion.So without further ado, I’d like to share with you a snippet of me and my friends’ tour in Cambodia last week!  As with every travel, I have some “travel goals” and for Cambodia, I aimed to be chasing sunrise and sunset!  Sunrise!  Huh!  For a sleepy head like me, it’s a whole lot of sacrifice albeit the challenge!  Hehehe…..  With only 4 hours of sleep, I woke up first among the four of us to my alarm at 3:30 AM Siem Reap time.  Hallelujah!  Being always the last to wake up, it was indeed a victory for me!  Praise be to God for the determination to get up and go out there to meet Angkor Wat’s most celebrated sunrise!

Now here it is!  My very first travel vlog!  This is also the very first selfie video I’ve ever taken, raw, no edits, a very amateur one but filled with love and laughter!  For the nth time that I’ve watched this, it still gives me the stomach-achingly laugh!  Just bear with us, guys!  Hahaha!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed that one!  Hehe…..  Watch out for my next post as I bring to you the enchantment of Angkor Wat!  #tosomtravels

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
