Pining for Koh Samui
I am quite upset right now. The reason is shallow but I am a brat. Me and my sister wanted to go to a really nice beach this summer and I suggested to mom that we should all go to El Nido since I’ve been there before and it was a fantastic experience. She told me to ask around how much it would cost her so I contacted El Nido and they gave me a good quote for residents. Mom found it too expensive so she told me to research some other resort in Palawan. I did that too but she still found it expensive. She told me to research on Thai beaches instead. At first I wasn’t in the mood to do that since I don’t know if the beaches there could compare to El Nido. I spent a lot of time online and began to fall in love with the resorts in Koh Samui especially Rocky Resort. My sister was really excited too after seeing the websites of the resorts. We made a presentation to mom the other night and she liked what she saw. She told me to do more research especially on the airfares and how we can get to Koh Samui. I told her the results yesterday afternoon. Me and sis were feeling really high because we thought this would be a sure thing but when mom got home, she said the trip is too expensive. It would have been better if there is a direct flight from Manila to Koh Samui (there isn’t. We have to enter through Bangkok first) but since there isn’t, the Thailand trip is off. I’m just really disappointed about this because I was already imagining myself cavorting in the Koh Samui white sands and having the time of my life. I wish she didn’t tell me to research on this. Now I have to try to get the trip out of my mind and it is just so difficult especially since I am stuck in the insane Philippine summer heat.
