I love Nuna’s dress, it’s pixie, it’s cute, it’s pink, it’s suits her.

At the event, “Nuna” Neungthida Sophon lead actress in “Hello Stranger (Kuan Meun Ho)” and winner of the Best Actress award at the event cried up on stage. Ploy Chermarn cried too, not because she lost to Nuna in the Best Actress category, she cried out of shock because her film “Chua Fah Din Salai (Eternity)” won for Best Picture. ?? Okay. Emotional much?

“I was shocked when the film received the award because the crew and all the actors were exhausted by this film and especially when my teacher who is Mom Noi (the director of Eternity) went up to accept the award, I was very glad,” Ploy Chermarn explaining why she cried at the event.

Today not only did you come with Tar (Navin Yaowapalakul, Ploy’s bf) you brought your mother too, did you secretly have expectations this award (the best actress award), reporters asked Ploy.

Ploy said Tar being there or not, it didn’t matter;  Tar comes to these types of events with her often anyways. “If I don’t get that is fine because P’Tar comes to all my events. I’m very happy for Nuna who received this award. Up on stage, I even congratulated her. I don’t feel upset about it, I was delighted.”

The event was held at Central Pattana shopping center in Pattaya today. The special awards went to producers Charoen Iamphungporn from Five Star productions and “Sia Jiang” Somsak Techaratanaprasert from Sahamongkol Films productions.

Who wore it best? the black rubber dress

I thought I was going crazy. “Where have I seen this dress before?”  Then it donned on me–Noon Siraphun at the Bangkok International Film festival with her platinum blonde hair. Most recently that hideous looking thing was worn by ‘May’ Pitchanart Sakakorn for an event at the Address. So who wore it best?

Personally, my vote goes to Noon. Her spunky blonde hair gives the dress color and edge. On May, it looks dull because of her subdue make-up and classical up-do. Though May looks lovely like a princess, that dress is not made for a princess. It’s made for a crazy female rock-star. Noon’s appearance embodies the rock-star look more so than May.

Noon Siraphun’s boyfriend ordained

Noon Siraphun’s boyfriend “Top” Piphat Apiraktanakorn was ordained today at the Bowonniwet Vihara temple. He was given the nickname “Jinwutigoh”, meaning a person who will be prosperous for life.

Top will be temporarily ordained for 15 days.

For the people who might not understand this practice, temporary ordination is a religious rite of passage for males who practice Theravāda Buddhism, the dominate religion in Southeast Asia. Before a man marries, he must enter the monastery temporarily. It’s a form of self-sacrificing to pay homage (merits) to the people who give you life and raised you.

Noon carried the pillow in the parade and even participated in the hair cutting ceremony. Top’s mother was so happy, she couldn’t hold back tears. This is a very important religious event and also a very festive one. It’s really a big celebration of the bond between a son to his parents.

I gotta say Top has a good head shape, it’s nice and round like an egg.
