hello people, today i'm thiking of friends. how lucky i am. and just today i'd like to name them. in case they'll drop by some days.
start with my school. my 11 years in SatreeBuranaWit School since kindergargen till grade 9. i like everything about this school, environment and surroundings. of course, all the friends too. though we now go seperate way, some have kids before turning 20 years old, some turn into lesbians, some are actresses, i always think of them though sometime don't recall their names. my all time perfect moment in life is grade 7-9. the time when i became popular. loved by friends, juniors and seniors. it felt good. it feels good. and my grades dropped. all teachers were so kind. without them, i wouldn't be this good. respect plays the main role. there's one name i want to mention, Jirapa. you're always my most favorite.
my high school life is very short at SatreeWatrakang School located on the bank of ChaoPraya River, this is what i like most. i always like the river and rain. it's fresh and cool. there're marble chairs by the river bank, my favorite place. well, i'd like to thank my friends who accepted me into the group when we were assigned some reports and hanged around on lunch times. i'm deeply appreciated. time went by, not took long, i grouped with the most pain-in-the-neck gang. let's say, we shared the same interests. you know, like when we all slept in math class and got busted. that was awesome. i graduated the non-formal education school which is the short-cut to finish high school in one year. i got to go to Venezuela as AFSer so i dropped my last year. Bee and Nes, best friends of mine since i got back to thailand. right now, Nes graduated from Switzerland, working in Ireland. Bee is studying at Switzerland. both in hotel management. i'm the only one who stuck here. wait for the reunion.
11 months in Venezuela. the best time abroad. good experiences. good friends from around the world. open my eyes and visions. different food and living style. i found some cultures are similar to asians, such as they respect the elders as they are older, not just human beings. my impressions, both good and bad. few bad things, the pilot of BA didn't speak english, i was smart enough to find my way to get the luggage. next, the custom didn't speak english either. i was saved by two girls from AFS, Mayra and Maria. good things, that night i saw so many lights at the mountain which i realized later that they are houses built on top of the others. the most favorite is the show from volunteers. i'd like to thank my host family the Iannuzzis, also the Rincons for taking good care of me during the year. thanks every each person both extranjeros and venezolanos. i love you all. i try to think of you once in awhile for i can remember for life. special thanks to centro-oeste, Floris, Isaiah, Clayton, Ryotoro, Yoshihiro, Christina, Claudia, Annie, Megan and Vivian. and won't forget to mention Rosie and Momoko, they are most beautiful girls of the west and the east. last but not least, Caryna and Carlos, you're important to me. there were times i acted weird, you might have noticed. thanks for taking me to cinema and pub.
after one years in misery. International Student Degree Program of Mahidol University or Mahidol University International School is my next stop. being a freshman, everything was new. there's one person who introduced me to cyber world, Bhavana, thank you for everything you did for me. it's grateful. all the time i was studying there, i always thought that 'i don't fit in'. those who got money, hard working and english speaking survive. well, here is where i 'appreciate' arts, thanks Dr. Freeland. and a tennis class which i realized that collecting balls is tiring than hitting them. Mee+, she's so good to me as i'm to her, too. she knew already. her determination is huge. i like it the most. her family is admirable. a year younger, she's also from SatreeBuranavit School, so we have something to talk about. and, of course there's a person, p'Big who i only talked with less than five times in nine months. since i don't know him personally, i like him from what i see. at least, i have a night to remember.
to be economic, i entered public university, Silpakorn University across the river from SatreeWatrakang School and located faced to the Grand Palace, Wat Prakaew. during the year 1996 i knew a friend, Muay studying in Arts History here. since i found that i love arts, i was eager to study them. there's no 'Arts History Faculty' but 'Archaeology Faculty'. and i thought, archaeology was cool then i took it as major and arts history as minor. i pay respects to my every professors. they are genius. thanks to p'Oil who was really calm when i was too annoying. my friends, they are a little bit of this and that. they are fun and funny. i love them all. though i didn't participate in any activities neither those of university nor faculty, i have the sense of belonging, the university of arts, Silpakorn.
that's all i can think of. my school time. love all people who are good to me in some ways. and i appreciate their kindness. i don't live a day without thinking one of them. i hope they are happy. for me, my happiness is when i think of those good times. very special indeed.

missing all heaps,
now i'm writing because i have finished uploading the pictures i took from my trips. they are in 'pictures'. sorry for there're only thumbnails, gradually pages of more details will be uploaded soon. some details i might forget since it's been very long time. well, i hardly remember the places in taiwan since i didn't go with the map. i had a friend taking me around. quite easy and happy the taiwan trip. see? no pain, no gain.
