    I considered myself as a not fashionable person. All my clothes are cheap. Most of the time my clothes, shoes and bag aren’t match but I don’t care. As long as I feel comfortable, I will wear whatever suits my activities on the day. A few weeks ago I went to Uniqlo in EmQuartier with…

  • Thirty and Thriving!

    Whew! I had such a busy months with work and relationship. It kind of hard to try to balance everything at the same time. I think I’m getting better at it now and thought I’d come back to write more often. I turned 30 years old last month (such a great birthday). My boyfriend gave…

    Topic suggested by @KhonFaring from Twitter. My parents were born in the provinces in the northeast of Thailand near the Cambodia border.

  • How music saved my life

    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.

  • Taylor Swift 1, Bangkok 0: My Concert That Never Happened

    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…
