Aug 25, 2006 English through pictures

I've just found an e-book which makes me want to go back and study English again. It's called "English Through Pictures".

See for yourself:

Aug 19, 2006 If I ain't got you!

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah

Aug 15, 2006 memo..ries

Memory's a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past...
--from ... Before Sunset--

and I like this song with the guitar jung ~~
. .... ... .....

Let me sing you a waltz / Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts /
Let me sing you a waltz / About this one night stand /
You were, for me, that night /
Everything I always dreamt of in life / But now you're gone / You are far gone /
All the way to your island of rain / It was for you just a one night thing /
But you were much more to me, just so you know / I don't care what they say /
I know what you meant for me that day / I just want another try /....
Even if it doesn't seem quite right /...
I have no bitterness, my sweet / I'll never forget this one night thing / Even tomorrow in other arms, my heart will stay yours until I die /
Let me sing you a waltz / Out of nowhere, out of my blues ..

My pet

Aug 12, 2006 my pet :)

And I think to myself...

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself,... what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin' "how do you do?"
They're really sayin' "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
they’ll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself,... what a wonderful world

Aug 10, 2006 Same things

I have a chance today, to visit my alumni's webboard <www.intania8x.com> (it's in Thai,)and see something in many topics they're talking about.

The posters are varying from generation 80 to 89. Yes, it's ten years or more age difference.Sometimes they talk about the SAME things but I don't think they're the same things at all. Just the words are the same... not the things they're dicussing.

That reminds me of some phrases I've heard ... about people in different generation with different views of the SAME things. I think sometimes it's not the views, but it's the SAME things, that are really different.

Aug 6, 2006 Happy new year!

There are many great things in my life. The greatest of them is you being by my side.
I don't want to be the greatest thing happen to you, I just want to make you happier, and happier.

Happy birthday!

Aug 3, 2006 Frogstory :)

Once apon a time,
there was this frog,
who lived on a beach.

He couldn't get off the beach
because the water was
filled with sharks,
and the jungle was filled with snakes.

So mostly he drove up and down the beach.
he ate seashells,
and caught rainwater to drink,
and tried not to get
too sunburned.

Mostly he was miserable
but that was OK!
because he was just
a stupid frog
and didn't know
any better?

Besides, this is supposed
to be a fairly tale,
and most fairly tales end
"HaPpiLy EvEr AfTeR"

most specially for the frogs.

Tragedy addiction

I just found out that I'm in love with tragedy. I don't know why.
I keep reading, watching anything tragedic.

Maybe I just want to cry.

Maybe I see true love in many tears.

Maybe ..

Aug 2, 2006 Orpheus

Orpheus was a musician, his music was filled with joy and happiness, for he was in love with Euridice, and she loved him in return. On the day of their wedding, he played his song as his bride danced through the meadow. Suddenly, she stepped on a snake and dead of its bite. Hermes gently closed her eyes with his wand and led her away to the Underworld.

No more songs came from Orpheus' throat, no more tunes rang out from his lyre. He lose all happiness in life. He had to bring her back!

Weeping and grieving, Orpheus wandered about searching for an entrance to Hades, Lord of the Underworld, and he found it when at the end of the world, he did what no living man had ever done before: went down to the realm of the dead to beg for the return of his beloved. Hoping that his music might move the cold heart of Hades, he walked down the dark, steep path, palying and singing.

His voice floated down and its magic move the iron gates of Hades. They sprang open and let him in, and Ceberus, the thre-headed watchdog, lay down at his feet and let him pass. The dark Underworld stilled and listened to his music. He sang about his great love, begged to have Euridice back.

Hades, the pitiless lord of the dead, sat on his black throne with Queen Persephone at his side. He was so moved by the music that tears rolled down his cheeks and cold Persephone sobbed. Her heart was so touched that she turned to Hades and begged him to let Euridice go. Hades gave Euridice a chance, with one condition: Orpheus must not look at his bride before they reached the realm of the living.


Orpheus was so glad, he started up the dark path, played his music. The way was long, and he began to doubt as he walked on and on. Had Hades deceived him? Were the sounds he heard behind him really Euridice's footsteps? He had almost reached the upper world and could see a light ahead, when he could bear his doubts no longer. He turn and saw she was really there, but for a moment, for again Hermes appeared at her side. Faintly, Orpheus heard her whisper farewell. He had lost her forever.

Super Busy

Busy + ness = Business

After one of my programmers left the company, we're losing balance.
I'm so tired, stressfull, losing weight (kidding).

Ha! Bring 'em on! That which doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Last month we hit the sale target so from this month on everyone gets 2 addtional saturday holiday (except exceutives... including me, of course). They're all happy.

I'm not saying that I'm not happy, I'm just busy.

I'll come back tonight with something interesting.

Jul 31, 2006 Thailand No Longer A ‘Male Paradise'

from http://www.bangkokpost.com/ ...look look look

One of the greatest success stories in the history of tourism marketing is how Thailand has managed to change its image from being a 'male paradise' to a place that is now attracting legions of female visitors.

During this few years, the trend of female visiting is significantly increasing.
Thailand has been pushing the right marketing buttons that attract female visitors, especially in such areas as cooking, shopping, health and wellness.
-- such as OTOP products, Thai silk, Thai spa, Thai cooking school and etc...

and becoming known as a safe family destination, especially for children...

Great!!!

..congratulation to us!

It's so hot outside - -"

Let's make something..cooooollldd ^ ^
...I found this, very easy... I think you will like it too :)

- -BANANA ICE CREAM- -
1 quart of cream
6 large bananas
1/2 pound of sugar
1 teaspoonful of vanilla

Put half the cream and all the sugar over the fire and stir, take from the fire, and, when perfectly cold,
add the remaining half of the cream.
Freeze the mixture, and add the bananas mashed or pressed through a colander. Put on the lid, adjust the crank, and turn until the mixture is frozen rather hard.

This quantity might serve ten persons (mayyybe...).

enjoy!
:P

Jul 30, 2006 Echo & Narcissus

Echo was a nymph who talked all day so that Zeus(Lord of the Universe) once sent her to detain Hera (his wife) with idle chatter so long that Zeus, who really was there playing with the nymphs, was able to sneak away.

Hera was very angry. She took away Echo's ability to form her own words. From that day Echo could only repeat the words of others.

Pan, an ugly god who fell in love with Echo for so long, thought he could now talk to her and win her heart with his music and poetry (Pan tried many times but Echo just talked too much to listen to anything.) But before he had any chance, Echo had lost her heart to Narcissus.

Narcissus was so handsome that every girl and every nymph fell in love with him when they saw him. Unfortunately, he liked nobody but himself.

Echo followed Narcissus silently into the woods, hoping to hear any words from him that she could repeat. But he never noticed her. At last they came to a clear water pool, and Narcissus bent down to drink. He saw himself in the mirroring surface of the water.

"I love you," said Narcissus to the face he saw.
"I love you," repeated Echo eagerly. She stood behind him, happy to be able to speak to him.

But Narcissus neither saw nor heard her. He sat down there looking to himself, smiling, forgetting to eat, forgetting to drink, forgetting to go to the toilet, forgetting to pay tax...ok, whatever..... he died there smiling.

Hermes came and bring him to the Underworld, but where he had been sitting the lovely Narcissus (Daffodill) flower sprang up. Echo stood beside the flower until she too died.

















Nothing was left of Echo but her voice.

Jul 27, 2006 The Dandelion

There is always something new to
learn of Dandelion.


Dandelion can make her home anywhere,

When she lives in wet places she
has thin leaves with many pores.

When she lives in dry places she
has thick tough leaves with fewer
and closed pores.

When she lives on the hillside she
has short stems and her blooms are
close down among the mosses.

When she lives in the meadow
where the grasses are tall she makes
long, long stems for her blooms and
for her leaves that she may catch her
share of sunbeams and breezes.

On such days Bee finds her doors
all locked and goes away disappointed.
Do you know why she notches her
leaves in that odd way she has? It
is so the sunbeams can fall on every
leaf.

Do you know why dandelion’s
stem will curl when you split it?
Because the outside skin of the
stem “pulls” one way and the inside
skin pulls another way.

These stem coverings are like the leaf
coverings — waterproof.

Jul 20, 2006 People jump!

Tomorrow, 20th July, is the World jump day...

at 11:39:13 GMT...

Let's jump together!

maybe or maybe not,... it will move the earth out of its orbit a bit which may reduce global warming...

actually it's completely unscientific, many reasons to reject this.
but let's see the power of people...

hmm, I will jump :)

Jul 19, 2006 We can grow oil (..to be continued)

:) ...these days my topics seem quite serious...hihi~
sorry...but hopefully you have more patient to read a bit...

I feel like working huhu.. ^ ^

I have read the article that in Thailand biodiesel is becoming well-known as well...as oil prices is substantially increasing nowsaday...

we produce it from palm-oil as we are the third biggest palm-producing country in the world...

...read further at http://www.manager.co.th/Daily/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9490000092352

How nice! if we can grow oil by ourselves as we are the agricultural country,...reduce import oils and also strenghten rural economies....
and help the environment at the same time...

but...it still need a lot more work to be done...
we have raw materials and demands...
but the production process is a big piece missing...

Thinking and learning

As, from birth, we develop our ability to think based on sensory information from the environment ...through a process of perception.

Our thinking is influenced not only by actual reality but by perceived reality...

young children or immature thinking is restricted to the superficial, advanced thinking is able to manipulate more ideas ...for effective problem solving and in creative thinking
...by 'simplifying'...

-simplify complexity--broader interpretation of incomplete and imperfect reality...
