Finally, some decent shows on TV
(Sunset from my balcony – Bangkok weather has been warm and humid lately… maybe the rainy season is finally over?) TV shows in English are pretty hard to come by in Bangkok.

YOUTUBE is back in Thailand!

But of course you do, since I know get … Continue reading Is there any better place than 'home'?

I used the logos for my resume for a few months, but decided that the logo was better as a concept … Continue reading Personal Logo

(Supposedly, the largest boutique store in Asia… this is Central World Plaza, or formerly the "World Trade Center", a sprawling complex that has everything you'd want so you won't get homesick… this is where I found White Spot's Triple O's) Not sure if I can trust Apple/Mac as much as I use to because two … Continue reading Streetside fried chicken rules!
The beginning of the end (or of the beginning)
(Who says I can't look like a Simpson's character…If you haven't tried, you can Simpsonize yourself before the Simpson Movie comes out!)
