He's hot!

I just dowloaded a song called "He's Hot" by Will, Grace, Jack & Karen and I loved it. It is very nice production by cleverly putting sample vocals from Will &Grace casts over Madonna's Holiday. It is fun and I find it to be one of those guilty pleasures.

Speaking of Will & Grace, season 1-5 were quite fantastic. I heard that season 6 was not as good as the early seasons. Since I have not seen season 6 yet, I cannot comment on that. No matter how poor it was, it's still one of the best programs that run on cable here and I always enjoy watching it.

Anyway I have to wait for 3 years for season 6 since now they are only airing season 3 here!

Full moon

Yes it's full moon tonight. It's so so nice and beautiful. Well I didnt know that until someone told me. How ignorant I was!

Maybe there are more of other things I should pay attention to, rather than myself and stuffs around me.

30 going on 13

I heard the song "I Promised Myself" on the radio today and I realized that it was not Nick Kamen's voice. I found out later that it's a cover from the band call A-Teens. It's quite true to the original but I still prefer the original 100 times better.
I remember hearing that song from the radio in late 80's. It brought back a lot of memory when I first started listening to western music. I was 13 and I didnt even know what cds were back then. Gosh it was long long time ago. So I started thinking to myself was it a sign of getting old when you heard the songs that you loved in teenage years resung by singers whom you didnt even know?

I've been hearing a lot of those lately, like Take My Breath Away from Jessica Simpson which was originally from Berlin and The Promise from Tony Moran which was originally from When In Rome. To be honest, the new versions suck big time.

Well I guess being 30 is not so bad; at least I had some good years of music to remember.

Interview

I had a job interview today and I thought I did it quite good. After that I heard from my insider I have 80% chance of getting the job. Keeps my fingers crossed.

Lists

Love 'em.
1. My new Diesel Zathan jean - I havent bought a new pair of jeans for years. It was a gift from my dearest friend Cheewin. Thank you!
2. My vintage pink Lacoste polo shirt that I got from weekend market for only 200 baht. I love it so much and I wear it like every weekend.
3. My house - Even though I know its gonna be never-ending work to decorate it.
4. Mazda 3 - Im so getting it. Its so cool, especially the 5-door one. Its not available here until October. However I should find a full time job first!
5. Thai restaurant in my neighborhood called Boon Song. Its just ordinary Thai restaurant with 2 drag queen chiefs. But it has the best Thai food ever! Yum!

Hate 'em.
1. My hair - still hate it.
2.When I take elavator to 26th floor to my office, it's so packed, then it stops like almost every floor. Seems like its taking forever til I get to my floor.
3. Ugly houses in the my neighborhood. I swear I dont want to even walk pass them, seriously. They are just ruining my block.
More to come...

Again with AF

Ok last night I watched the Academy Fantasia concert even though I said it before how much I hated that show. Well since Noi wanted to come over to my place and watched it together, I just couldn't say no when I thought about having fun trash talking the show with her!
Yup I was having fun trash talking the show from the start until I saw some of the audiences started booing the contestant who had the weakest voice right before she started to sing. That girl sang with tears and I felt so bad for her...poor girl. Well if I were her, I would give them a finger and tell them to fuck off or something. However she handled it with class and made it til the end of the song. And I was very impressed.

And just like that, I thought about the quote from Six Feet Under that I watched earlier.
"Sometimes people are hard to take but only the first side they present to you is annoying. And it's only after you spend some time with them you realize maybe there's another side of them that's worth knowing."

Reality TV's

I just finished watching The Amazing Race and America's Next Top Model. Now Im feeling like I wanna apply for these shows so bad. Who knows...I could be the next top model! People there are being real and thats the charm of reality tv's.
On the other hand, Academy Fantasia (Thai reality show - a mix of American Idol + Big Brother) is a different case. I have to say that, iornically, most people in the show are kinda fake...I couldn't stand them. I was watching it a couple times when it first started and 5 mins later I had to switch the channel. I know Im being harsh but I really feel they are just trying too hard to be super super nice. Im not blaming them since the nicer they are the more votes they get. Well I think I love to see drama on TV, but I absolutely dont want it in my life.

P.S. It's not a reality show, but Miss Match rocks! Alicia Silverstone is so fierce. I heard the show got axed though. Damnit why they always do this with good show!

My name is Ek, and Im an eataholic

On the way home I stopped at the market and bought the following:
- Ro-tee(Thai Pancake)
- Sweet sticky rice with Thai custard
- Sweet sticky rice with longan
- Sweet sticky rice with blackbean/coconut milk
- Another Ro-tee
- Another sweet sticky rice with Thai custard

And I've already finished 4 of them!

Productive day, I hope

I got up quite early this morning to work on my project, so I could finish and email it to the guy who is paying me for this.
For some reasons, something were bugging me and I couldn't concentrate. Maybe because of the argument that I had with my friend last night or because I just felt lazy. So I decided to take a break and listened to some of cd's to cheer myself up, which are:
Keane -Hopes and Fears. They are Coldplay without the guitars. Just hearing their songs can burst me into tears. Their lyrics are just incredibly deep, and somewhat kinda depressing, which I love them.
Ok next I played Leann Rimes greatest hits cd. I just picked to listen only tracks that I liked, especially her recent tracks. I still remember when she was a chubby girl singing country songs. And now, She's turning into hot chick with hot gay husband. Well I guess that's normal this day.
Then, I played Tata Young - I believe. Wot the hell I was thinking when I bought this cd? She's a Thai version of Britney Spears and I don't even like her. Well I have to admit that I like the title track. It's very JLo waiting for tonight'ish. I'm actually quite impressed, but that's it...it's only song from the album that I can stand.

I think I'm feeling a little better now. I should go back to work.

Lights, camera, action!

Here we go...I finally figure out how to post pics here.
It's a pic from my trip to Pattaya last weekend with Kate and Ning while we were waiting to see Tiffany's show ( famous transvestite cabaret show ). The show was pretty good, better than I expected. Anyway I dont like my new haircut!

Noi and Celebs

Last night I went out with Noi to BBQ all you can eat place in my neighborhood. My friend, Nan introduced Noi to me 3 months ago; now I feel like I have known her for ages. She's funny, witty, outspoken and kind(to me). She also has a thing for white guys which I should figure out that is why we are getting along quite well.
Anyway, during the dinner, Noi spotted some celebs in the restaurant and told me, then I started to walk around the restaurant like a crazy man checking them out.
Lately I've spotted Thai celebs like every other day. Compared to when I lived in the US, it rarely happened, just only couple times in NY and LA. I still remember I got so excited seeing Danny guy from Real World New Orleans at Sunset Blvd Mel's Drive-In when I had lunch there. I pretended to go to the bathroon just to walk by his table.

Hmm I just realized that I have not changed a bit!

P.S. I should figure out how to post pics here soon.

Here I come!

So I decided to have my own blog.....
It would take me a couple of days(or weeks!) to figure out how to play with this thing.
It's been over a year since I moved back to Bangkok. I can still recall my plan in 2002 about getting a green card, buying a house and living a fabulous life in San Francisco. Then a couple months later, the company let me go. I was stunned! To be honest, I was scared of moving back. I was scared of...I dont know...everything. My life was good the way it was and I was scared of the changes.
Well I made it! My life here is not so bad. Since things are much cheaper here, I was able to buy the house sooner than I expected which I am very proud of it (Thank you Cheewin - You know what I mean). I reconnected with my college friends and I have good times with them. I think I've done pretty good job with my adjusting.
Anyway my best friend Cheewin(whom I love to death) will come visit me next month for his little vacation. I can't wait to see him again (even though he just was here last December). Also another friend of mine from SF - Tom will come to Bangkok in October. He's a cool guy and we have a lot to catch up. We talked briefly about his trip last night and now I'm getting excited already!
Ok I'm starting to write too much now.
But it was fun and I can't wait to write again.
