Random Wednesday: the most absurd advice my mother ever gave me

Awhile ago, I told my mother I was depressed about my work, life, and future. I felt as though I have no direction in my life, she advised to find a husband and have some kids. Wah? And apparently it will solve all my issues. Bam! It’s that simple, marriage,  kids, and all my problems will just fade away–all my insecurities, my fears about the future, my work concerns, my financial concerns, it will just evaporate like water on a hot day. Yea, I don’t think it is gonna solve anything.

‘Yaak Ja Roo (I want to know)’ by Note feat. Junior the Star 7

From the ‘Kulap Satan (Rose Satan)’ Ost, ’Yaak Ja Roo (I want to know)’ by Note Panayanggool feat. Junior the Star 7, been meaning to translate this song for the longest time.

Lyrics:

Far, no matter how far, there will still be an answer
Long, no matter how long, I will never forget…disappear
I look up at the stars as they can be like a friend when I am lonely
I am thinking of that person
You are like the star that I can rest my heart in
I close my eyes and dream.
I want to know at this moment where you are at (I want to know if you are still thinking of me)
I want to know what you are thinking of.
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I look up at the stars as they can be like a friend when I am lonely
I am thinking of that person (I really miss him)
You are still like the star that I can rest my heart in
It can only be in a dream
I want to know where you are at (I want to know if you are thinking of me)
I want to know what you are thinking of
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I want to know at this moment where you are at (I want to know if you are still thinking of me)
I want to know how you are
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
(The time goes by slower)I want it to be as before
(I told myself it can never be) but I will keep you in my memories.
I will not let it go…
I want to know where you are at (I want to know if you are thinking of me)
I want to know how you are
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know
I want to know, I want to know, I want to know

Thairath’s lakorn of the year 2011 goes to…

At the start of the year, the TV industry looked lively–the economy was prospering, the currency was strong, price was decent, everything looked good. Then, the great flooding occurred and everything went down hill. Even though the Thai television business is a strong industry, it was affected by the flooding–filming sights were flooded, production houses where editing took place flooded, stars’ houses were flooded. Luring advertisements, the industry’s bread and butter, was an issue. New projects, we shouldn’t even talk about them because they were swept away by the flood.

3 Num Neua Thong: Ep 1 Caps

I find myself smitten with this series, when episode two ended today, I wanted more. I love this modern take on relationship in Thai lakorns compared to the ‘rag to riches/ Cinderella meets her prince charming, they do the slap and kiss dance, and they get married at the end’ plot line.  It has nothing to do with that, this is life and relationships.

Hey, I hate proofreading, enjoy the grammar errors. Ha.

Kimberley and Mark are the best couple in ’3 Num Neua Thong’

First episode, I enjoyed minus Ken Phupoom. Oh good lord that young man, he needs some more acting lessons pronto! Improve young man so I can enjoy this series more. ’3 Num Neua Thong’ aired last night or my morning (US time) and I find myself gravitating towards the Arunsri (Kimberley Woltemas) and Kritchai Pongphukin (Mark Prin) pairing. They are two individuals who want the same thing– true love, a secure love. They are meant to be together but she has a boyfriend.

The boyfriend is such a loser, trying to wine and dine rich people but barely makes enough to cover his monthly expenses. Take for example, they went out to eat at Korean style barbecue place for dinner, he ate all the main dish and made her eat only kimchi. AND he made her pay the bill. LOSER! Moocher! Lets dump him and move on to Kritchai. He’s totally in love with you.

Kritchai has been in love with Arunsri for the past year that she has been working for him as his  special relations publicist for his company the ‘M’ Group. I believe it’s some sort of automotive company that has been around for about a century and he is the 3 generation heir.

For him, it was love at first sight as he secretly watched her pick up his fallen drawings in the small pool at his company. She was up for an interview (I think) and saw papers flying her way. Some landed in the small pool, she took off her shoes and got them.  He was very touched by her actions and during her interview, he phoned his assistant Benli to ask her:’can you ask her, what was the reason why you went in to get the paper in the water.’

Her answer with a bright smile: ‘I thought it was a waste ka, the drawings were very beautiful. The person who drew them put much effort in them. Though I don’t know the owner, I think that person would not want it to be damage. I merely took in their consideration of doing something useful and doing it well.’

He loved that answer.

Kritchai’s cousin Lampao played by ‘Toey’ Jarinporn Junkiat is downright hilarious, she has 3 dogs and treats them like her kids. How she introduced Kritchai to her dogs when he moved in with her, classic! He was like what the hell?
