12. THE TRUMAN SHOW

Source

This show makes me question so many things about life, including the idea of being watched by others. In addition, I sometimes think that someone is watching me which makes me say things aloud to defend myself when I mistreat others. Such as, "I didn't mean to do that," "I shouldn't do that," etc. Even though, I don't worship God, I still think that someone is watching me doing right and wrong things. I also wonder if others around me are scripted to do certain things to me, treat me certain way, talk to me a certain way. And what if they are scripted? Can my enemy be my friends, but too scared to act nice to me? Can my friends be fake to me because they are actors and scripted to be my friends? Overall, this show makes me stop and think about many things that could happen to myself, and it also explains to me that everything is possible.

10. FRIENDSHIP BREAKUP

There are two things I value the most - family and friends. I might not be the strongest person, but if anyone hurts these people - I'm ready to fight. I'm also very picky and very open at the same time when it comes to choosing friends. As a result, I don't just call anyone "my best-friend," or "my friend" until I really get to know their true personalities. This, though, does not mean I only friend a certain type of person - it means I accept anyone as long as they let me in their hearts. This also means I take care of them as best as I could. Well, this time I made a mistake...
There is this one friend who I really care about, let's call her Alison. We started knowing each other about two years ago because we had a class together. Alison and I are very different - I'm very outspoken, but Alison is quiet and shy. I'm very open, but Alison likes to keep things to herself. But there was one thing we had in common - we wanted to explore the world. When I started to realize we'd gotten closer, I felt that I had nothing to hide from her. So I told her almost everything about me while she only told me few things about her, but I was happy that we became friends. We hung out a lot. Alison helped me a lot. She was one of the reasons I have what I have today. Alison and I planned many things together - we planned to live together after high school, we planned to take trips together .. but we never got to go because I didn't have a job then to have enough money to go with her. Alison also wanted me to move with her to ... well let's say New York. Since moving with her means I have to leave my mother alone .. I just can't go. When she asks me if I was going to go with her, I often tell her "we'll see," or "no for now, I just can't leave my mom". She was disappointed. Since that was the only thing that helps bonding us, we seem to avoid each other after that. Now, we both know that our friendship has faded little by little, but we still see each other outside of school.. and it's tough - at least for me. I know that Alison is not selfish for being disappointed in me. She is not wrong for drawing me on her future. But, I don't know, I don't want to lose her.. not another friend, but I also just can't do what she asks.. I just can't leave another thing I value the most behind.

9. MY FAV. YOUTUBE CREW

Source

JustKiddingFilms Crew - one of my favorite Youtubers. First, JustKiddingFilms is a comedic phenomenon known to unabashedly tackle social, contemporary, and cultural issues, while ingeniously capturing and playing to universal sentiments. I really love these guys. They are very funny and intelligent.They are also open and not afraid to express their thoughts. I like people who are being straight up, I like them. At first when I was introduced to Youtube, I used to watch make-up tutorials, but now I spend most of my free time watching their videos. They have many channels, including JustKiddingNews, JustKiddingParty, JustKiddingGamer, and their own blog channels. The one I like the most is JustKiddingNews channel. On this channel, Olivia will be the hostess reading the news she finds interesting, and other will give opinions on that topic. The reason why this interests me so much is that there are always lessons to be learned out of their opinions. These people are not afraid to go against the norms, and some are offending for the norms. So at the end, I always have an opportunity to choose what I want to believe or not to believe. Generally, I hate reading news just because the media mostly gives us bad news to read. I understand that their reason is to get their ratings up, but it always makes me depressed so I decide to not read or watch news anymore. However on their channel, these people throws jokes while they're giving opinions. This makes the news more interesting. Some may say that these people are being insensitive, but in my opinion, they are just being real - as they call it "teaching good things in a bad way."

8. FACIAL CARE

Since I'm been with the same person for about almost two years, I kind of have that lazy-no-one-to-impress-anyways thoughts. Today, though, I'd noticed that my face doesn't like to be washed with water alone anymore - it calls for beauty products. So, I decided to go to Walmart to look at facial skin care products. I've tried so many brands, including Proactive, Clinique, etc.. None of those seems to work with my skin. However, I came across these products just because I'd always loved using Johnson & Johnson products when I was younger because they were not too rough for my skin. I'm loving these products so far, especially the mark treatment gel. At least it works for my skin - I just cover the affected areas before going to bed, and wake up with a clearer skin... haha, I sound like I'm advertising... Sigh, acne problems.

7. THAILAND

Since I'm Thai, let's talk about Thailand for a minute. Honestly, I get excited every time people in the US start talking about it. I haven't had a chance to visit every part of Thailand since I only lived there for about 11 years - from the moment I was born to the age of 11-ish. However, I love almost every memory I have while living there. When I was in Thailand, I had no feminine features and manners, ahaha. Another words, I was very boyish, I liked to fight, and I often didn't take care of myself how I should have as a girl. Anyways, the places I want to go to the most right now would be the islands and mountains in Thailand. I always imagine myself walking around these places, taking pictures, and inhaling deeply to finally get the fresh air from the real nature I haven't had for years. The islands such as Koh Lan, and Koh Samet would definitely be on my list.

Ko Lan is one of the Eastern Seaboard islands of Thailand.

Koh Lan - this one of the most romantic places, in my opinion. It locates in Pattaya, Chon Buri. The special thing about it is you have to ride some kind of boat to get to this place. I mean you'll get to see beautiful views of the beach and its surroundings.
CLICK HERE if you want to see more pictures of this island.

 The sad part about this place is that it is located near the city known for nightclubs and entertainments. As a nature lover, I think it would be much cooler if people know about this place more than those places and benefit from relaxation this place would give them. I mean, I rather see people relaxed more than intoxicated.

6. BROKEN

Source

Sometimes I wonder if parents know how much they hurt their kids by breaking up. My parents are divorced nine years ago. Both of them found a new partner. I've never told them that this is one of the biggest problems in my life. I know I sound like a weak whiny little girl, but it may be a time for me to let it out. I don't know if my parents know that this is a huge problem to me. On top of that, both of my parents are not open enough. Both of them don't really sit down and talk to me one on one. My father, especially, doesn't sit down and talk to me because he feels uncomfortable. Since both of them have moved on and found new partners, I guess I'm the only one who's left behind. Which is not fair, to me. When both of them want to avoid the problem, they could just not talk to each other. But for me, I'm their child. I have to love them both equally. I ran away from home couple times, because I want to avoid both of them. Now that I have to know and accept their partners as my step father and step mother - I've become suffocated. I know I should get over it at last, but I just can't. It's so hard to get over something I have to suffer for a life time - and it's not even my problem. Although, the only thing I can do right now is to make sure that my future children don't get to suffer because of me. Oh well..

5. FOOD

I LOVE FOOD. Yep, I do.  Pho Pasteur. Look at the place I went to eat, their Lomein is sooooo good. Everything was good except the service. Side question, is it just me or most of the service in Chinatown restaurant bad? I know that one of the reasons is that there are many people in area so it's hard to keep treating people nicely all day. Anyways, I've only been to this place three times. The first two, I ordered seafood noodle soup, it was very good. Then, the last time I went I ordered this Lomein, it was very very good. I recommend this place only for winter. The inside of the restaurant is very warm, I guess it's because most of the customers order soup. xD
