There are so many definitions of a friend but sometimes the simplest and most straightforward definition is the best.
Yes, this definition of friendship may seem so obvious to many, but sometimes we can forget it so easily.
It is said that we are lucky if we can count our true friends with more than one hand. I guess I am one of the lucky ones to have more than five in my life.
I also believe that ones loving partner should be our best friend of all.
Are you being the best kind of fr
"When all around becomes so dark, we cannot see, even ourselves.
In darkness, it's so easy to stop seeing the light and all the beautiful things in our partner; all the wonderful reasons we came together and loved and admired each other in the first place.
When things become so dark, we get scared and we feel alone. This is natural. Even when we reach out our hand for each other, we cannot see and it is easy to miss and pass right by. And then we fear that the other is not there for us.
I lost my best friend and the love of my life recently and, if I knew then what I know now, perhaps this would not have happened. Perhaps the outcome would have been different. I don’t know. I cannot turn back time, but I can try to learn what happened from the whole experience and perhaps, if she is reading this, she can too.
It is both wrong and pointless to lay blame on her or me. In Thai there is a saying: “two hands clapping” and I do believe this is true in this case. It would be easy t
(I've been doing a lot of personal research over the past 2 weeks on the subject of anger. Here is a summery of some of the things I have found. Perhaps they may be of interest to someone.)
____________________________________________________________
Anger noun
1. a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or perceived grievance
2. the state of being angry
3. belligerence aroused by a real or perceived wrong or threat (personified as one of the deadly sins)

Giving someone false hope, encouraging them in really believing that false hope, can be one of the most hurtful and destructive things you can ever do to someone. Take care everyone,Marc
TOOLS TO FIX THINGS.
In my last two journals, I talked about communication, mutual understanding and ?love?, as being some of the most important foundations of a long-term relationship. Again, there are so many things written about these subjects and I?m not trying to add more in anyway. These journals are specifically about my own observations and thoughts about Thai/Farang relationships only. And this is the final chapter in this series of three.
Even the most loving couple, with great commu
(My journal yesterday was the first of 3 parts)
What’s love got to do with it?
For many single Westerners, living permanently in Thailand, the idea (or fantasy) of one day having the ‘perfect Thai wife’ is very real. And with this idea, of course, comes a wide range of expectations and preconceptions, most of which are gathered while growing up in the West and mostly (unfortunately) tend to be unrealistic or just fantasy, here in Thailand.
Yesterday’s journal was about communication and th
Sorry this is so long
What I write here is not a complaint at all, nor do I have any axe to grind. But I want to share some things I have learnt along the way and hope that perhaps a few people may benefit in some way. Perhaps to some, I may be stating the obvious, and to others, small revelations. There are many books written about Thai relationships and myriad about Thai customs. I have read so many of them. But as usual, real life often differs greatly from what books advise us. This is jus
Sitting alone at my laptop at 2am the other night, fiddling with the final touches of a logo design, I wondered yet again: ?what the Hell am I doing??
I?m not complaining when I say this, but being a creative person can be, at times, an extremely lonely existence. It has been this way all of my life, and I am sure any artist, musician, writer, or anyone who uses their gifts to make their living, would have felt this way sometimes.
Having a gift for creativity has defined my life, made my life
For those few folks who might want to know, today is my 13th day without cigarettes and I think I have finally kicked the habit and that ugly 'monkey on my back' is almost gone.
The first 4 days were hell, and I isolated myself at home and just dealt with all the demons alone. Oh, they come, those demons, and play games and tricks with the mind and try many things.... "come on... just one cigarette… you can have one... its ok...just one puff... just have one cigarette and all this pain will g
Tomorrow morning, when I wake, I will begin one of the hardest things I know.
I will stop smoking forever.
I guess, if I am to be totally honest, I am writing this as 'positive validation' for myself more than anything else, so please excuse my rambling here.
I know how hard giving up will be because, 12 years ago, I gave up for 6 years and I have secretly chastised myself ever since for the stupidity of not only starting again, but smoking much heavier than I ever did before. I have been sm
I guess I would still be considered a 'newbee' on this site, compared to some who have been here for years. I only started last September; a mere 9 months ago.
From the outset, I really only wanted an opportunity to meet some new, quality Thai people, because I have chosen to make my life here, as best I can. I feel I must remind myself of this now.
Thailand is where my heart has always felt happiest. I have never really enjoyed the 'expat scene' in any country I have lived, and besides, I al
I am currently consulting Creative Director to one of the top design companies here in Bangkok. We have been asked to create a viral marketing campaign by one of our clients (huge multi-national) for the Indian market. Today we presented a series of concepts which excited our client, and now they want to go ahead.We are looking for an exeptionally talented person who can build/program/create cutting edge online interractive games etc.If you believe you're the one, and you live in Bangkok, please
At the end of another year in Thailand, and soon the beginning of a new one,
it seems like a good time to say thankyou...
To the people I have met from this site,
thanks for coming into my life.
To those who have read my journals and joined my forums,
thanks for being there and taking an interest.
To those who have disagreed with me or questioned me,
thanks for making me think, try harder, look at new ways and learn new things.
To those who have made me laugh,
thanks for this simple, p
I was tidying up one of my bookshelves today, and picked up one of my all-time favourite books - 'Jitterbug Perfume' by Tom Robbins.
Spending the next hour, reading the first part again, I was reminded of the time I met him in Sydney, when he was promoting his new book (at that time) - 'Frogs Pajamas'.
Meeting this great author was one of the thrills of my life, especially because he read the entire first chapter of Jitterbug Perfume for us. Hearing a writer read their own work certainly makes
The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me.

It?s coming to Songkran again next month. I guess this scorching heat has slowed me down enough to reflect a bit. It was a year ago I came back to Thailand and set up my own company here.
Last year, I quit my job after almost 2 years as Executive Creative Director of a multi-national advertising agency in Vietnam. I had not only taken them from obscurity to number one, I had also completley redesigned the new state-of-the-art offices there.
