1. Kate is beautiful but not as stunning as I thought she would be on such a special day.
2. The vow exchanging didn't look that meaningful and that emotional. Check out Lea Salonga's wedding, if you have time. I think that's the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen.
3. The crowd scremed at Royal family like they were pop stars. I prefer the "Love Live the King" in Thai version.
4. I love the posh British accent that everyone spoke in Westminster.
5. The best part is to see the parade.
April is passing by so fast. Maybe because I was enjoying it so much, not having to work and spending a lot of time with my boyfriend.
It had barely been 4 months, since we last met in December 10. Yet, it seemed like a distant dream. We didn't need time to get used to being with each other again like last time. It was just great sitting next to him and holding his hand. It was as surreal as a dream, but I knew it was "reality" because I could touch him, feel him and smell him; senses that do
Do you believe that something good will eventually happen, if you keep positive?
I have experience a few incidents, which proves that if one keeps positive, good things will happen, no matter how unlikely it may look in the beginning.
Last year, I was looking for a job. I found a few offers that were not bad at all. One of them was with a very good company and my chances were not too bad. But I didn't pursue the offer, for various (stupid reasons). Then I found this job, which gives a higher
Do what you love and you will not have to work another day for the rest of your life.
I heard this so many times before. I wish I could do what I love for a living.
On certain days, I would manage to get through the day "okay". But on a day like this, it is so torturing that I feel like breaking down and cry.
I don't hate my job. I hate the lack of professionalism and support from the head office. The problems are so trivial that it's so absurd that I spend so much time fixing them.
I ha
I posted a earlier a week or two ago about the negative self-talk I had. I have been reading information about Thai women who marry to foreigners and move overseas to live. A lot of the stories shared on that website make me jealous and feel negative about my relationship.
It took me a while to go pass the negative cloud and started to see things as it really is. I realize that I don't want to be like most of these ladies. I don't want to be there when I am not ready and be dependent on the bo
Happy Hallmark Day to you all! It's just another commercialized festive day. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Saint Valentine, who was beheaded today because of his love for others and not himself.
If you are going to celebrate today, please do it for the love of others, not lust, not infatuation and not because it is the trend to follow. Express your love to your love ones, do it creatively and do it selflessly.
Oh... don't forget those who love you the most, your parents, and your fa
I have been having horrible negative inner voice the past few weeks. I found this one website where the stories contributing there only make me jealous and be in a negative mood. I don't know why I even let other people ruining my mood, and putting the pressure on my relationship. My boyfriend has done nothing but trying his best to cheer me up.
Not only it affects my personal relationship, but it also affects my work. I don't feel motivated at all at work. I wanted each day to pass so I could
I was thinking of what I wanted to write today, but nothing seems to inspire me enough to write. Around an hour ago, I received an SMS from my bf saying Happy 1st date anniversary! We met 5 years ago, on January 29, 2006.
It was back in the day, I have a lot of time to write about my life and my thought. And I wrote about our meeting on TF.
Perfect first day of Chinese New Year
Coincidentally, today 6 years ago, I registered on Thailandfriends.com through a friend's recommendation. I didn't
Just a quick note. I haven't gotten the chance to look at all the features on the site. But one thing I know for sure is I have no friend on the list anymore.
Why???
I received an e-mail this morning from the Regional Manager in BKK for the position I sent a resume to last night. Saying she would contact me sometimes next week. That is way more than enough to keep my day positive!
I happened to have an ex-colleague working for the HK office in the same company. So I contacted her asking for her permission to refer to her in case I am asked, if I know anyone in the company. She said not to worry, because not only the Regional Manager in BKK office already
I posted on my MSN message looking for any vacancy that I may apply. An ex-colleague, who was also my mentor, sent me a message on MSN earlier today about a really appealing opportunity.
The title of the position is lesser than my current job, but the company is so well-known and well-established that I would be more than apply if I could get in with that position. But because it is a very well-established company, the salary range would be either the same or a little bit more. So this is a re
I have been having a super tough week this week. Last week was more like a blur, I did things automatically and didn’t have time to think. The past few days was more like a reality hit for me. The tasks are too much bear and the fact that no solution nor support coming in from the head office. What seriously tires me out is not the problem I have to deal with, but the lack of solution. I am a middle person taking in the complaints and trying to find the nicest excuse to give to the suppliers, or
I went to Thanachart Bank today to deposit some money. The bank staff took my passport book and took a look at the amount of money in my account, even before checking the deposit slip, that I handed in at the same time.
Then the conversation went like this:
Her: "Would you consider an insurance policy with the bank? With 3 months fixed account, you have to pay tax, but with our insurance policy, you don't have to."
Me: "I already have a few policies, so that is alright. Thank you."
Her: "Wit
It's been a while since I last posted something on here. Life has been extremely busy the past few months and especially the past few weeks. I was writing a recap of my year in 2010 and I found that my life revolved around nothing except work. There might be a few trips here and there that excited me but that's pretty much it.
I got to travel quite a bit during the last few months of 2010. I went back to Vietnam again after a year-ish gap toward the end of September, and then Singapore in Oct
A quick one before the internet time ran out. The second day in HCMC showed to be better than yesterday. There were more people and a few people I have spoken to were really friendly.
The schedule and organization has been quite messy. Today is already an easy day, I am not sure how much messier it'd get tomorrow. But I have a pretty good time over all. The dinner cruise at the end of the day was great, the people I was sitting with had so much to say and they were very interesting.
I have to
I made my journey back to Ho Chi Minh City again after a year and a half. The trip to HCMC wasn't as straightforward as it used to be. I flew with Vietnam Airline, and as we approached the destination, there were so many turbulances.
After many attempts the Captian couldn't land the plane and decided to head to the next airport instead. We flew to Nha Trang and landed there, refueled for over an hour, before headed back to HCMC again. I left BKK at 11.20 am, and was supposedly arrived at 12.30
I went down to Phuket last week with a few ex-colleauges for an eating and photo taking trips. We took almost 400 photos in 2 days, but I am going to select a few of them here only. I don't think you would be interested in seeing us pulling faces in different angle just to see which degree we look best! One of the ex-colleague is an expert in local food. they were 2 and a half days that we totally forgot what "hungry" means. I hope you have already had your meal!
We left the office early on a r
Have you ever googled your boyfriend/girlfriend online? There’s almost no need for a private detective these days, as long as you have internet connection, know how to use internet search engine, how social networking website works, and have little skill of putting smaller pieces of puzzle together.
The story began last week, when my colleague and I attended a business function. It was an opportunity, which people in the same industry all over the country gather to discuss business deals as
It has been a while since I last over-indulge myself this much on a weekend. My friend, who I haven't met for a long time, called and asked, if I wanted to meet up with her sometimes this weekend. We finally agreed to the time on Sunday. She suggested that we go for a coffee at Dean and Deluca. I've heard of the coffee shop a while back and it'd be a great chance to go try it here, instead of NYC!
We met at Chong Nonsi BTS station and the place is located right in the middle between two exits.
It's been a while since I was last being approached by someone. It is totally not flattering, coz the guy is definitely NOT my type. Appearance plays a big part, but the fact that he kept boasting about all the fancy positions he held in the past bores me even more.
I think the majority of those, who lack self-esteem, try to compensate that by boasting about their social status. At first it was just a friendly business talk, then he started asking what I wanted to do later, and that he was
I forgot my phone at home, and there's a possibility that I will be living without my phone for the next 30 hrs. This computer cannot access facebook for some strange reason, so I don't know which other page to pass my time before I get to leave this building. So I am typing this to pass the time.
A few thought ran through my mind today.
1. How far I have come in life in comparison to a few people I have met today. I am proud of myself, yet I feel like there are many more aspects of life that
This vid has been out for ages, but I just got a chance to see it. Just in case some of you have not heard about it before, you can check it out. This TV spot has been banned but it's available on youtube anyway.
July 29 is National Thai Language Day, if I translate it correctly. I have met more than a few Thai people who try to speak Thai with an accent. The most popular accent is to speak it with a little bit of English pronounciation.
Many years ago, when I was working at the TV station, a friend had to interview some teenagers on their view about politics. She and a cameraman asked this one girl in Siam Square, if she could give her opinion on camera. The cameraman already started recording her whe
It's been quite a relaxing vacation so far. A few things troubled me mentally, but I managed to suppress and occupied my mind with other things. We rented 3 two bedroom villas at Nishaville for 12 of us, comprises of two families and a few friends.
Since we arrived the main activities are talking, eating, and sleeping, with a little bit of reading, watching TV, and swimming. Apart from spending time with the family, the part that I enjoyed the most was getting to swim in the sea.
It had been
