A Sad Story

G i F t *('v')* — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:46:26 +0000

When certainty is uncertainty, how can we expect anything to be happily ever after? There’re a lot of factors making changes around us. Nature is the main commander!! I have been thinking of the word “Mother Nature” for a while now. Why would we think of Nature as mother?

We can’t be living if there’s no mother.

We’ll be starving to death if there’s no mother.

Nature of life is incredibly amazing. Being born, being taught to survive, being able to work, and being dead are the facts we’re not able to avoid at all. One thing I would say is that, at least, we’ll realize that smile is valuable when we know tear is suffering. The more we feel the pain, the more we enjoy the happiness.

All in all, I’ve just got a news about the death of one of my friends. It makes me feel very very sad. She was a sweet, friendly, and kind person. Her life was just starting, but the grim reaper took her away from us. RIP, Syl (!.!)

Life is so complicated

G i F t *('v')* — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:29:20 +0000

Why do we always have to choose? Sometimes, we don’t want to have any choices because we try not to choose anything. Choosing something might hurt ourselves or others a lot. What should we do then? Good and bad are very subjective. What’s good for someone might be so bad for another. So, what criteria should we use when it’s inevitable not to take sides or anything like that? Anyone got the answer?

I’ve been looking for the answer all my life; never get it.

When doing one thing makes some people very happy, it’s hurting some other people by doing so. What a weird world! There’s nothing to tell us exactly what is good or bad for all people. Certainly, human is the most amazing creature in the wide wild world. I bet this is why human’s life is extraordinarily complicated.

High!

Think high;

To fly high.

Though, you don’t see the path;

At least you have to try.

Anything but ordinary!

G i F t *('v')* — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:13:05 +0000

Have you been asked to pick a word that suits you? I have And, it’s very interesting when you ask someone else the same question. Someone asked me the question long before, and I answered after thinking for few seconds “ORDINARY.” Then, the person looked weird at me, and told me that he had answered the same word to his English teacher, Mary. Mary noticed that all Thais she knew answered the same thing. People from other countries gave her various answers really. Why? My thought was the culture matter: probably!! As a result, we need an experiment. I asked my younger brother, and I got the same answer. However, my youngest brother gave me a different word. So, it means most Thais think they’re ordinary while people all over the world thinks they are peak in something. One thought comes up to my mind: are we ducks? hahaha… No! I know that, but the culture distracts the way people look at themselves somehow. Recently, I’ve broken myself out from the big box. I’m looking at everyone as ordinary people, but what would make us all different? That’s really the answers we’re looking for. Do you know the word you would pick yet?

Anything but ordinary by Avril Lavigne

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It’s my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please.
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident, turbulent, succulent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don’t wanna waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It’s my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please.
oh
I’d rather be anything but ordinary please.

POEM!

“ In your view,

I might not be the same person you knew.

But, my pure heartbeat and my mind’s will;

Remember you still since the day we met.”

The Biggest School in the World Called “LIFE”

G i F t *('v')* — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:47:52 +0000

Personally, this is the most important lesson carved in my heart by my dad. He haven’t said it directly, but this way of thinking contributed by him makes me get back on my knees many times already. And, that’s why I’d like to share it with you and hope you’ll be better off after reading this article.

Life is the biggest school if you look at it as a whole in depth. It might not be as easy as looking at any scenes you see around you all the time. It takes you whole life to learn. Thus, we all will graduate in the last day on earth. I’ll start at the young age which I would call “family period”. This is the most important and the purest period as the saying “children is white.” They really are The length of this period varies on each person. This period is when you learn a lot: learn to live, to love, to laugh, to give, to get, to make friends, to be in the society, and etc. You would learn all basics at the time. This is also the time people attach to their families. Moreover, you don’t have to think much about anything, but yourself. You don’t really have any responsibility. If you feel like you have long family period, I would say that you’re lucky.

When you go through any period, there is no possible way to go back. It will be just standing right there confronting same level tasks all over again or fight to be in the next level. Anyway, the next level is when you don’t attach to your family as much anymore. Wait! Don’t look at it as a good or bad thing! It’s just the way life is. At this period, you’ll be thinking mostly about yourself: how your life will be, how to survive, how to get a job, and more..

Next, you’ll think about family of your own. Being a parent yourself will make you understand how your parents feel about you when you were young – just like a cycle.

What else can we learn at the last period? – How to live peacefully & death!! Don’t worry we all will have to pass it one day. The difference is how we handle it.

The idea exactly about learning in life is that there will be tons of tasks for you to pass to the next level and so on. From my experience, I feel like there is someone up there messing up my life in an organized way. After I’ve been facing that kind of mess many times, I feel like there are some practices I’ve got to work on in order to prepare myself for a test which is, of course, tougher. If I get through it beautifully, there will be the harder one ahead. There is no way to predict at what time the next test will be in front of you. On the other hand, if I am stuck, there will be the same kind of situation I have to face somehow. This happens again and again until you get through it.

So, appreciate anything coming to your life. It might not be as you want, but it is your teacher. Look carefully in every steps in life, then you’ll see the beauty of life. Just do your best!! Walk slowly and looking for tiny miracle and everyday magic!!

Girly Camera Bag!

G i F t *('v')* — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:15:23 +0000

I’ve been playing with DSLR camera for a while already when I looked for a camera bag which would serve me well and suit my personality. I found one, indeed, and it was the only brand in the market producing this kind of camera bag!! It was a surprise. By the time I ordered my pretty bag, I called the company because there was an issue about material. Since there was no one to answer the phone during the day, I could tell that it was a small company. However, someone called me back a few days later: after I ordered the bag online and got it delivered to me already!! Anyway, the bag itself is great. Small size camera bag is more than enough for me because I’m able to put a Nikon D40 with kit lens on, prime lens, and a lot of girl things that I usually have in my hand bag – I mean it “a lot.” I felt like this was it!!!!

There were 3 types of materials which were nylon: brown and yellow, leather: bone black and red, and pink patent leather. Moreover, there is also a purse attached in the bag, but the material is different in the photos of many websites I checked. That was why I called them. Finally, I decided to buy a small pink patent leather camera bag because I thought it would be easy to clean, and the purse made of leather as well. I fell in love with my girly pink bag just right away – so cute >.<

And, it’s big considering it’s a small size bag. I can store everything I have in my handbag in the small pinky camera bag, and that’s amazing really. Love it!!

One of the most important things for camera bag is padded divider. The divider that comes with the bag is nice and sweet with colorful dots. Additionally, the bag itself is kind of thick and strong. Love it more!!

Then, it was time to prove if the bag is really waterproof as the company claims. I went out to Central Park during the third snow storm of this winter and found out that it worked absolutely perfect. Love it even more!!

Right now, this bag is my everyday bag carrying all stuff and my camera. I don’t regret of buying this bag at all. Good job Jill-e ^^ (www.jill-e.com)

Junction of Life..

G i F t *('v')* — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:09:07 +0000

Have you ever felt like you’re at the junction of life? When you have to choose something to be with for life, but you aren’t really sure how it’s going to turn out. At this point, I think life is like gambling!! You have to take the risk to win or lose. If you win, lucky you! In case you lose, you just have to find the way to get back up and choose again. People usually use their feelings and experiences in choosing the path somehow, but does it really work that way?

There are so many reasons why people want their lives to be like they are right now: choose by interest, norm, someone’s suggestion, and etc. I do wonder whether anyone looks back to the day he chose the path and asks himself if what he’s doing right now is what he dreamed of in the way past. Following your dreams is as important as being responsible to others. And, that’s why it’s tough.

Actually, we confront this kind of junctions a lot in everyday life. People always have choices to choose, then it leads you to another junction. This cycle never ends. When it comes to a big one, it’s harsh and takes a lot of effort to get through the moment smoothly. No one wants to regret about what he has done. So, be careful of what you’re choosing. I keep my fingers cross for all who is facing the same situation as me.

Poison Ivy

gift9sipp — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:06:23 +0000

I had no idea what was wrong with me until my leg has been red!! I’ve never known a plant called “Poison Ivy” before in my life. When I saw some red spots on my body, I thought mosquitoes bit me: they did though. I was allergic to mosquitoes, so it’s kind of normal. I went to a pharmacy to buy a tube of medicine for insect bite which poison ivy was also included. I tried it on for 2 days. Some red spots were getting better, but some were not. That was odd!! Touching the sunlight in the morning made the red spots travelled all over the place o.O’ It was very very scary. It was itchy like you would never want to know; especially when it’s hot and sunny. I don’t know how long I will leave POISON IVY, hopefully they will be all gone by tomorrow. Be careful while being outdoor in Summer, you’ll never know what could happen!! Wish no one get this Poison Ivy & Have fun.

Happy Holiday!!

gift9sipp — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:32:45 +0000

I love holiday. Wherever I am, holiday is the nicest time of all really. At the time, people have warm hearts, big smiles, and incredible meals. Even if people have different holiday around the world, the sense of holiday is still the same. Most people go to see their family and have fun together. It’s the real family time of the year.

Here, in the US., Christmas is the most important holiday. Cold weather, actually the white Christmas, is expected. Moreover, it’s all about gifts!! This period of time is the best time for all stores to earn money. As I’ve seen so far, people start looking for gifts long before Christmas, but "Black Friday" is very very crowded. In my experience, Black Friday deals in store are not that good. It’s always cheaper online which surprises me a lot because it doesn’t make any sense about the differences. Although, it’s true that selling online doesn’t need as much service as in store selling, it shouldn’t be so different since most stores have brick and mortar stores as well. I don’t know if you guys will agree with this. It’s just an opinion though.

Christmas tree is very lovely. I went to Rockefeller Center to watch it every years since I came here, in NY. The funny thing is the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center look a bit cheaper each year!! However, it’s still nice to have a really big one. Moreover, snowflake dance is interesting. There is one at the building opposite to Rockefeller Center, but my favorite is the one at The Shop: Timewarner Building.

The big malls in NY have Christmas Windows, which kids can’t miss. They are luxury, beautiful, cute,exciting, and active. Kids will enjoy it very much. I’m sure. If you have a chance go see them.

Finally, I wish you all good luck and Happy Holiday guys!!
