I was born and raised in Bangkok, and I have lived here all my life. Even though I am Thai, I absolutely hate working in Thai companies. I have worked for Thai companies twice, and I swear I will never set foot in one again. Here is why: 1. HolidaysYou cannot take more than three…

Okay, I’ll admit it. I saw Fifty Shades of Grey twice. I never read the book, so I can’t compare the movie to it. I know many people made a big deal about the erotic parts, but to me, the film showed much more than that. Christian Grey is smart, thoughtful, and sexy. And by…

Have you ever had to wait for your friend to make a decision about going somewhere or doing something together? ALL. THE. TIME. So many times, I’ve asked my friends to go out or do something, and the answer I got was always “unsure.” I think people are afraid something better might come along, or…

Topic suggested by @KhonFaring from Twitter. My parents were born in the provinces in the northeast of Thailand near the Cambodia border. They met in Bangkok, got married, and have been living in the Charoen Krung area since before I was born. They can both speak Northern Khmer (which I’ll just call Khmer here). I can only…

“I knew you loved me and that you’d do anything for me. And that was one of the reasons it hurt so much when you ended it, Dawson. Because I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all” That’s a quote from Nicholas…

I just watched Begin Again for the second time tonight. The first time was last Saturday. Honestly, I knew nothing about this movie. I hadn’t even seen the trailer. I just spotted the poster and thought, “Why not?” I’m not going to write too much about the plot, because I don’t want to spoil it…

Earlier this year, when we heard about Taylor Swift’s tour in Asia, my friend asked if I wanted to go. I’m not a huge fan, but I do think she’s incredibly talented and I enjoy her music, so I said yes. Back in March, the day tickets went on sale, I woke up early on…

I came back from my Singapore trip about two weeks ago. After a few hours of relaxing at home, I decided to take a shower around 2 AM. Everything was fine until I started washing my hair. Suddenly, the water began running slower… and slower… I panicked and tried to rinse the shampoo out, but…
