02/03/26 TotDB 3m
So I quickly listened to 3m of TotDB, it was great, not as butter smooth as usual since around 2:12 in I felt the need to check my phone.
It was great still
So I bought my mom to see the sea in the morning, then we got the laundry and grabbed a grub to Rassada pier, a small Harbour in the suburb of the old town from which all ferries to other islands depart from.
There is not much around, but since we were hungry and had some time we went to a small family restaurant nearby
All was written in thai but we had the translator app, and one of the staff (the family adult daughter probably) spoke English really well so we could order some drink, and in the end ordered from the pictures.
It was so delicious! I took care to thanks the staff (in thai) and tell them it was very delicious.
One of the rare time when they put some spices in the meal, the dream.
I like spicy food.
We then went to the ferry and there we go, for a 2 hours cruise to Phi Phi Don
we’ll stay one night there and tomorrow we’ll leave for Lanta 
But all will be in time, for now I’ll enjoy where I am, then I enjoyed where I was and there I’ll enjoy where I’ll be.
There’s only the present, so might as well enjoy it while it last
Edit: on the way, I got the news that a girl I helped by sending money to just got drugged and had her daughter r-ed next to her.
I tried to be a listening ear on WhatsApp for her.
And though I can do nothing to soothe the pain, I empathized with her. She’s very Christian so I quote up some appropriate verses from the Bible to reassure her that they’ll have to answer for what they did in due time that they won’t stay unpunished.
Sometime earth can feel like hell, full of pain and suffering.
Here on the other side of the globe it’s a whole different picture.
Lots of sun, smiles, streets that look like they come straight from an Ubisoft game.
Tight narrow neon bright streets with massage parlors, food stands, tourist stores,
Hiding the less savory parts behind the curtains.
Wild places at the turn of a tight narrow unsigned alleyway.
There are lots of couple which slightly triggered some envy, which I replaced with happiness for them and enjoying the present, when I realised it.
It is silly to envy couple when I was the one who broke things up the two last times.
I relaxed and meditated while waiting for food.
Enjoying the atmosphere, the buzzing energy, the lights, the form the store sign took across the night sky, slightly visible in between.
Later when I got a massage with my sister and cousin I relaxed really well, I was smiling throughout, I appreciated every instant.
It wasn’t the best massage, she missed a couple acupoints, notably on the back, she remembered way better the acupoints in the foreleg, but it doesn’t really matter.
She was very soft, very gentle, delicate even, making sure I have a great time, doing her best to please me, and that’s all that matter.
when I opened my eyes to look at her, massaging my head, I smiled and she giggled.
We were both very comfortable and relaxed, it was a bit dreamlike.
At the end I thanked her, she asked is that all?
I know she wanted my line, or me to ask her name, to give any indicator of interest and she would have jumped in my arm on an ice cream date after work, or maybe a Netflix and chill at her place.
But I leave tomorrow, and didn’t have my phone anyway (no charge), and was with my sister and cousin, and share the hotel room with my mom, so I just said thank you for the nice time and left to my hotel.
I really need to get my own room, at least one night, maybe I’ll do so on the last night in Thailand so I’ll have some more memories to carry
A couple things, meaningless bs, were a bit annoying at first, being sped up by my mom to check receipts, plan for tomorrow departure
But I realized I’m extremely lucky for these to be my “issues”.
These reminder that I still have my mom to heckling with, about silly stuff like me wanting to relax in the now and her being in the tomorrow planning our trip to paradise.
What a boon to be in this situation.
Some people live hell on earth, other live paradise on earth.
Some are lost in a nightmare, others in a dream.
I would love to help her somehow, but idk what I could do, being on another continent even from my own country.
I was thinking maybe open a business, bring her to france and recruit her? Though idk what her skills are in, or about the logistics of it, even legally.
Nevermind the investment needed to bring her here, find her a place to live, have her learn the language while fighting trauma, and all that in the time between when she start working and when it’ll be profitable.
One asset I have that could help is agricultural land, she could live there, tend to the land, live off of it and sell the excess to pay for her and her daughter, and eventually me too for the investment if possible, even slowly.
But yeah, that seems wild, even for me.
I am but one human.
I am exhausted I’ll sleep now.
