10 LIKES    
Question: What part of your body do you like the most?
Yui: I like my lips and smile the most. A lot of people tell me my smile is very sweet, and when I don't smile, it looks like I'm frowning. That's why I tend to smile a lot nowadays.

Question: What's your favorite animal?
Yui: DOGS! It's the only animal I like, I'm not very partial to cats because they shed a lot. And also I've been raising dogs for a while now and I feel a strong connection with them. My favorite dog right now is called 'Big' because he's so cute and he's only 3 months old.

Question: What's the most impressive gift you've received?
Yui: I love the gifts that my friends handmake for me. The latest thing I got was from a friend in Saraburi who made a pressed flower arrangement for me on my birthday. The beautiful thing about it is that she dyed it yellow and put it in a blue frame. I've kept it up until this day and I put our picture in it. If you were to ask what it's value is, it has no commercial value, more like sentimental value, and it's very touching that she made it for me.

Question: What's your favorite color?
Yui: I like blue and pink. Pink because it looks sweet and blue because it's bright.

Question: What types of flavors do you like to eat?
Yui: I really like foods with strong flavors like papaya salad. I'm not E-san but rather I was born in Saraburi, but I really like spicy flavors. I've been eating spicy eversince I was little. Whenever I eat anything that's not spicy, it doesn't seem as appetizing at all. I've tried to limit the amount of spicy foods I eat because I'm starting to get stomach aches and my mom been's trying to get me to limit it also. Whenever I eat papaya salad with her, she can't eat it with me because it's too hot, plus also she's worried about my health. My friends joke around by saying that I eat chili salad with papaya rather than papaya salad with chili!

Question: What's your favorite food?
Yui: I love eating food from the Southern regions of Thailand because the food isn't at all sweet! I especially like eating Kang Luang, Kang Som (sour soup), and Kang Tai Pla (an extremely spicy soup made from fish organs.) For me, I can't make these soups but my aunt makes it for me to eat all the time.

Question: What's your favorite number?
Yui: I like the number 3 because it always brings me luck, and also because I'm the third daughter, I like it because it brought me life.

Question: What's your favorite place to travel?
Yui: I like going to the ocean and the mountains because it's like I'm on an adventure. But in order for it to be fun, there's gotta be a lot of people with me.

Question: What's your favorite fruit?
Yui: I like watermelon because it's refreshing to eat.

Question: What individual do you love and respect?
Yui: It would have to be Khun Dang Surang Premprid, because she's given life to me in the entertainment business. And if I were to compare her to someone, she is like a second mother to me. She's given me new life from the back of a hand to the front. She gave me a chance and has taken mercy on me, and the reason I have a place to live up until today is because of her.

Question: What part of your body you not like?
Yui: I don't really like my eyebrows, the reason being that I've always wanted long eyebrows because mine are so short. But it's better now that I learned how to draw eyebrows so I tend to make them long.

Question: What type of people do you not like?
Yui: I don't like deceptive people. I usually don't befriend people who like to lie a lot because I feel that they're not honest with us. I prefer people to be frank with me, if you like or don't like something, I can forgive you if you're straightfoward with me.

Question: The first time you saw this and disliked it
Yui: I really don't like people who I meet for the first time and they stare at me with a bad look in their eyes, or people who stare for a really long time without any manners until I realize how much they're staring at me. I don't think this type of behavior is cute at all.

Question: What type of animal makes you feel icky?
Yui: Maggots! Whenever I see them it makes me afraid because I've had an incident when I was eating fruit and there were maggots in there and they stuck to my teeth! Luckily my sister saw it and told me to throw it away. Ever since then I've never been able to look at maggots. The funny this is that if you dislike something, somehow you always see it. My friends always like take the maggots to come scare me.

Question: What are you most afraid of?
Yui: Ghosts! I don't even have to think about this one. Luckily I've never had an encounter with ghosts but I'm the type of person that exaggerates ghost situations, it's made me be afraid of being alone. Funny this is I like watching ghost movies, as long as I have a blanket with me!

Question: What don't you like talking about?
Yui: I don't like to have people talk about serious life problems. When I'm with friends I prefer to talk about happy and fun stuff because I don't like being depressed especially with problems that are heavy and serious.

Question: A situation have you never been able to forget
Yui: Normally I don't usually get into many accidents, but there was this one time when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade that I got into a car accident. It was partly my fault for not looking both ways before crossing the street on my bike, and the car was coming pretty fast. Before you know it I was hit. luckily I wasn't hurt very much or else there would be no Yui Jiranan today, and this is something I've never forgotten.

Question: What food do you not like?
Yui: I'm afraid of the larbs (a type of salad) made of blood. I can't even look at it, probably because some of my E-san fans don't like eating larb luad also. But one thing I can eat is fermented fish (pla rah used in papaya salad)!

Question: What times do you not like?
Yui: I don't like being alone especially after midnight. I've had to stay by myself once like this and since that day I've told myself that it would be my last day having to be alone like that.

Question: A part of today's society that you don't like
Yui: I don't like traffic jams. Especially in Bangkok, if they were to fix the traffic problem it would probably be a place that's worth living in. Traffic jams make it so whenever I got to work everything is wasted, and I also think that it's a waste of gas.
