Christmas Eve was a lot of fun... But I'm not sure if my friends are trying to tell me something with these gifts 🤔😓
Nonetheless, I was happy to spend this evening with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. Delicious food!... I ate too much. Good thing this beautiful artsy t-shirt is made of stretchy and shiny polyester. I don't have to worry about the collar becoming too tight and making my neck all stiff and veiny and then my head becoming huge and purple...
What? Nobody wants that!

Anyways... I hope you're having a good time with loved ones and lots of foods 😁💚

I'm feeling sexy tonight 😏
Nothing says seduction like a nice tight pair of CainiKeni underwear.
I'm packing heat, I've got some change in my pocket ($1.75 to be precise... so enough for this pair and 2 packs of Indomie) and I'm about to get on lover cruise control (don't know if it means anything, but it sounds cool) 👁👃👁

Happy Independence Day Cambodia!
On November 9th 1953, Cambodia declared its Independence from France. So today, it's been exactly 70 years since Cambodia stopped being a French colony and became its own sovereign and independent country.
There was a ceremony in the morning and during the day and the evening, so many people came to hang out and celebrate on the riverside and in front of the royal palace. Colorful fireworks lit up the sky over the Tonle Sap River.
Happy 70th!
🇰🇭

I have a weak spot for dramatic skies.
I love a colorful sunset or an optimistic sunrise. But a dramatic cloudy sky just before the storm is what really excites me.
It's like a movie scene. That moment where you know something really intense is just around the corner, but you don't know what exactly (well except here you know what's coming... a storm... duh).
And I'm not talking about the grey sky that just looks like a thick flanelle blanket.
I want those menacing dark chunks that keep boiling, twisting and growing, angrily taking away your last hopes of seeing a glimpse of sunshine.
Like Edgar Allan Poe would say: "Sh*t's about to go down!"

A New One Took Over!
Last week I posted this story about the sexy lady that I spotted where I live. But today, I found this broken co**se on the ground (I assume that it was the sexy lady's) and then I noticed a new one perched on the wall.
I had never seen a praying mantis this close in person. Out of curiosity I tried to poke it with a branch to see if it was alive or mostly to see what it would do. But then it turned it's head and gave me this evil look... so I just suddenly remembered that I had very important things to do... far away 😱

Check out my new ride!
Badass, right!? It's gonna be perfect to explore my neighborhood.
Some people say that it looks too mean and intimidating and that it will scare people away.
While I do agree that it is a manly and tough looking ride, I think my soft, gentle and inviting smile will compensate and will make local strangers want to interact and even become friends.
Her name is Freakie by the way 😏

It was a good day!
This tiny strip of a wet market looks empty. But just a moment earlier, a rushing crowd stormed through to buy all the ingredients to make a good home-cooked dinner after a long day at work. Only one lonely fish is left on the lotus leaves as the satisfied vendor is happily preparing and cutting tiny fish.

Today's vibe...
I don't know why, but for the last two days I've been going through a weird funk. Moving slowly while my mind is racing. Feeling tired but refusing to sleep. I can't quite explain it or what causes me to feel like this. But it's not the first time and it won't be the last, so I know that the funk shall pass... Soon hopefully.
I hope you're doing well today.

Rainy Night in Chinatown BKK
Have I told you that I like dark little alleys?
Maybe? Once or twice?
Combine this with little lanterns and how shiny and colorful things become when it rains.
Give me a chair (a dry one please) and I'll sit there for hours.

Mold Hell!
I traveled back to my hometown for one month and I come back to this.
My tiny village home is full of mold.
I didn't notice it at first. I just thought the room was quite humid.
It's when I opened my closet to put away some clothes that I noticed that my green traditional Khmer pants now had a beautiful white fur.
I started looking around a bit more and found out it was everywhere! On the edges and joints of the closet, on my wooden cutting board, on top of the fridge, on one pillow, on the windows and even on my basketball.
It freaked me out!
I didn't want to touch anything.
And to say that I was so happy to be back and I was going to relax, catch up on some editing, do some chill village livestreams and play ball... now I have to deal with this fungy situation.
I must say though, this mold is both strangely beautiful and repulsive at the same time.

Haven't seen this view in a long time!
Only here for a minute, but I still feel like I'm home
I've been gone for quite a while
No matter how much I've grown
This patch of dirt makes me feel like a child
Insert a rhyme in own (or ome)
The sight of my island always makes me smile.

Ever seen one of these?
I was riding my bike, heading back to the village when I saw this.
I was livestreaming so some detectives in chat managed to find what this phenomenon is called.
A Rainbow Cloud which is caused by a phenomenon called "cloud iridescence".
Apparently this occurrence is rare because the cloud has to be loaded with water drops and thin enough to let the sunlight through.
It was my first time seeing one of those. Quite an impressive sight.
PS: the picture looks weird because I took it with my phone and I had to lower the exposure a lot to capture the whole spectrum of colors this cloud was displaying.

I'm now a chef! 😲
A couple of weeks ago, I tried a cooking lesson while I was in Battambang, Cambodia.
I was always hesitant about joining such cooking workshops/lessons as many of them seem to be overpriced and gimmicky. In certain case, I would even say tourists traps.
It wasn't the case at all here. We started by learning about different local herbs and roots. We then went to the market to buy the fresh ingredients that were needed. And then we came back and started cooking.
I got to cook one of my favorite dishes: Amok Trei. It's kind of a coconut milk based fish curry that's steamed in a banana leaf bowl. It's soooooo good!
We also cooked lok lak and some fried rolls.
The final result was delicious and copious.
The process was quite enjoyable too and the viewers who joined this cooking livestream (www.twitch.tv/GlobikLive) seem to have enjoyed it too, so I will most likely try this again.

I've been to Hong Kong a bunch of times, but I've only been to the peak twice.
This was the first time back in October of last year. I always loved this city, but looking at it from up there made my crush even bigger.
Note to self: Gotta hike up to the peak one night to catch the sunrise. Must be mesmerizing.

I had a date today.
It was quite impromptue and unexpected.
I stopped at this little chicken restaurant in Iligan city, Philippines to get a quick lunch.
After placing my order, I got up to go wash my hands. When I came back, there she was... Sitting at my table and staring at me is if this was all planned out.
I sat down, but we weren't seeing eye to eye. Under the table, she was looking at something else.
So I got down to her level to let her see that I'm not just a juicy piece of meat.
To be honest, I'm not one to open my heart to any p***y that sits in front of me, but there was something about the way she was looking at me.
I still can't tell if she truly liked me or if she was just really thirsty. But either way, I'm happy with it... with what we had.

16/03/2023

Definitely worth the struggle!
I rode a sh*tty bicycle under the hot Filipino sun climbed up a really steep hill to get there.
And then had to get down to the bottom of this forest-fringed ravine to appreciate the incredible beauty of this place... and I would do it again.

Can't wait to share the video of this little adventure!

08/03/2023

I went to the DANGER ZONE...
I compromised my safety just so I can capture these for you.
No! I actually put my life on the line just to entertain you and bring a little Wow! in your life.
I hope that you're eternally grateful for these potentially life costing sacrifices that I make for you.
You're welcome.

When the Airbnb is far from what it looked like on the pictures, but the location and the view makes up for it... kinda

If someone walked up to you and said: "Globik loves sunsets!"
You'd most likely reply something like: "Are you crazy?! Why would you spread such ridiculous lies!!?"
And you'd be absolutely right.
I HATE SUNSETS!
I think they are absolutely disgusting!
I post this here to raise awareness and to expose them for what they really are.
This one in particular was spotted from the Beach Des Rogations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
Don't let them seduce you. Stay vigilant!

I don't really care about Valentine's Day...
But I care about you, baby.
And I think you look sexy as hell tonight. I'm telling you! My bottom lip is bleeding from all the biting.

A few days ago it was the 15th and last day of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
I didn't know it was something that was celebrated here, in Cambodia, as the Lunar New Year is not the Cambodian New Year.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the temples decorated, families gathering to pray and even a few flying lanterns taking off at night around the village.

Let's go this way...
The sun is setting, it will get dark very quickly and I have no idea where this little dirt path leads to.
But we're here now and this way looks interesting... and beautiful.
What do you say?

Sunset Over My Shoulder
This is just me trying to be artsy with a dirty rear view mirror and a sh*tty phone camera at night... almost nailed it... maybe?
What do you think?

09/01/2023

What!? Another sunset?? No way!!
I went down to Sihanoukville for Christmas. It was my first time there since 2016. It sure has changed a lot, but the sunsets on the sea still look as colorful as I remembered.

26/11/2022

I miss my village.
It's been about a month and a half since I left and I must say that, although I had fun and I was incredibly happy to see my friends and family, I miss the village where I now live, the surrounding countryside and my little bike Browneesha.
I feel like I've been gone forever and the cold weather that we got these days just amplifies that feeling.
I'll be home soon baby!

22/11/2022

I hate this!
More and more, you can find this kind of practice on Airbnb and on different accommodation booking platforms. Individuals or companies (mostly individuals from what I've seen) will list their accommodations at a low rate, but then will add ridiculously high service charges, maintenance fees and/or other fees.
In this case here, the fees and taxes turn out to be more than double the cost of the accommodation itself. I checked the fee details and just the cleaning fee alone is $89.

So when you look for a cheaper place to stay, their listing will always show up. And if you don't pay attention and read the fine prints, you only find out the REAL TOTAL AMOUNT at check out... or even too late if you're distracted or in a rush.

These platforms should regulate this kind of practice and limit the added fees to a fixed percentage of the accommodation rental cost.
