lowering your expectation does not mean you settle for less.you are simply sparing yourself from untoward heartache and melancholy.you create your emotion and you  can influence the way your brain thinks.i’m sending out positive vibes..hoping positivity will embrace me tight.

it's another day!

be grateful for another day;another chance to discover God's greatness

start your day by thanking God and end it in the same way

smile..it's contagious

treat this day as a redemption day... 'i am so much better than i was yesterday'

surprise people by doing something least expected of you 

if you can't express your thoughts,scribble them down

indulge in one of your guilty pleasures

try hula hooping for 2 hours..chokdee!

drink tea while listening to bossa nova

say 'i love you' out loud even if he couldn't hear you

retire to bed with a happy and peaceful mind

make this your mantra: the best is yet to come.until then,i will wait patiently

my 2nd suan pheung trip

'narak' (cute) is what best describes Suan Pheung district coz there is a wide array of narak stuffs. from

hotels,restaurants,cafes and animals---the sheepie sheep (which is the very symbol of the district).a popular weekend destination especially to Thais and worth discovering for the foreigners.you don't need to go any farther to have a feel of Swiss or foreign atmosphere..

we stayed at Villa Moreeda--a modern hotel nestled next to the picturesque Scenery Vintage Farm.with only limited rooms available,you surely will love the serenity and feeling that you're one with nature..the natural rush of water from the river next to our room,crickets chirping,the baah's and mehs of the sheep nearby and the warmth and hospitality of the staff   

our flamingoes room..the rooms are named after different types of birds

 very cozy ambiance

THE MAJESTIC CREATURES

dinner with Surichai family as we celebrate mother's day

the Smoke House in Khao Yai

floor-to-ceiling wine display welcomes diners inside the Smoke House resto

Palio in Khao Yai--italian inspired market village

mother's day is celebrated every 12th of august,which is also the birthday of the queen in the same manner that father's day is held every 5th of december.

Khao Yai National Park is situated in Nakhon Ratchasima province (known as Korat)..although it is a national park,it was surprising to see lots of hotels,restaurants,recreational sites and business establishments within the area.i must say,it is a city within the forest!

y.o.l.o

just finished packing up for tomorrow's Surin trip..hope to encounter the majestic creatures!chang..chang..chang..

today,Proud introduced me to this famous slang especially to the prepubescent girls and boys.it is the english translation of the latin phrase 'carpe diem' for stupid people,as they say, but it's kinda catchy..

#realization

benjamin franklin
oftentimes,we tend to run away from situation that might hurt us.we have to embrace all the good and bad that life may offer.we have to welcome the problem and the pain that goes with it.ignoring,forgetting and pretending they don't exist will only hinder us from solving such problem.
