I got a little upset in the meeting at HNMUN because what people were discussing had nothing to do with making the world a better place. So I went up front and said all my thoughts. It was very incredible how I got tons of positive responds. Thank you!

Happy New Year 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!

2011 was a pretty good year for me. I turned 20 and felt like I must be more responsible and I did become more responsible and less emotional. This year will be even more awesome because I finally will move into the condominium of my dream. In fact, I'll move there in 5 days! So excited. After I have my own nice place, I can finally take my outfit photos and share them with you. Stay tuned!

I wish everyone a fantastic year. I hope that all sadness will evaporate. I'll try to be the one person that anyone can count on. I'll never let anyone feels miserable with me. I love laughter and will cherish it till the day I die. <3

Pinterest Love

Now, another obsession of mine is Pinterest. I can spend days on only this one website. The way it works is that it allows you to pin or share pictures or articles that you find interesting on your pages which are called boards. It's really really cool. I'm addicted.

This is a screen capture of one of my boards.

Childhood Photos

Accidentally dug up these photos of me with my grandma and cousin. My grandma just had her 81th birthday last month. She's still extremely healthy. I'm so happy for her. I have never lost any relatives since I was born. I'm so thankful for that.

Dear Lifehacker, I'm a fan.

I found the website Lifehacker through Google Reader and have been addicted to it. It basically tells you everything that makes your life easier. I love tips and tricks about getting things done more quickly and better and this website gives me just that! I've been posting links to the topics I'm interested in from this website on Twitter so much. I just love it!

Food Love

These are the delicious food and drinks I had last week. Don't they look wonderful? :D

These Past Weeks

It was the trip to see my mom. I stayed for 2 weeks. There weren't many things to do, so I just pretty much had 2 lazy weeks. :) 

The thing I'm holding in my hand (bottom right) was some ice cream put in an egg shape formed by rubber. It was called "i-maru". You have to suck the tip of it to get the ice cream in your mouth. It was a fun experience, but that one time was enough. I got a lot of stares.

By the way, I used this wonderful app "Pic Collage" for the pictures above. Definitely check it out!

Obsession Fun

What's better than lying in bed and craving over pretty stuff? I have an obsession over pretty handbags for now so I just lied in bed and looked at the book "Style Yourself" for information. Fun!

My Hair is Caramel Brown!

Got my hair dyed with "Fresh Light Blythe Bubble Hair Color"



I was supposed to do it myself, but I was very nervous as this was my first time, so I had a more experienced friend do it for me. I like the result. I look different. This is officially my first time getting my whole hair dyed. I got some parts of my hair highlighted a couple months earlier and like the idea of changing hair colors even though I wasn't too pleased with the way it turned out. I wasn't into changing hair colors earlier, but now I am. No wonder people do it all the time all over the world. I haven't got a really clear picture of my hair yet. I promise that I'll put it up as soon as I snap a good one.

Reading Joyfully...

I had my Kindle read the text out loud to me because I just couldn't stay focus!! It helped, but also showed how easily distracted I was. Hmmmmm. Gotta meditate?

Cookies!!

I was having a sandwich at Subway.
I saw the Subway cookies.
I wanted one of them.
But this is a better deal.
So I went to a grocery store and grabbed it!

On the Street Where I Live...

Belt and Bobby Pins

I bought a belt today. It's genuine leather and it's only 220 baht! Around 7 dollars. I can't believe my luck! It's so so so pretty. I saw it at a booth in Silom Complex here in Bangkok and instantly fell in love. Look at the beautiful pattern - the leaves, the flowers and especially, the unique buckle!

I also got some made-in-Japan bobby pins for 60 baht (2 dollars). I needed them so much as my bangs are bugging me. I could actually get them anywhere in Bangkok with 6 times cheaper than these ones, but the quality goes down with the price. These are really really good. They hold my hair very tightly which is just how I need it to be.

I'm very happy with my purchases today. :)
