From Bangkok Post: Patrician for premier? ANALYSIS: By Peter Janssen, dpa Chances of Abhisit Vejjajiva – the Oxford-educated 43-year-old leader of the Democrat Party – becoming Thailand’s next prime minister have risen in recent weeks in tandem with the downfall of his once arch rival – Thaksin Shinawatra. ETA : I made more edits later on when I got home and actually had time to do research. So, here we go.) Abhisit–his nickname is Mark, by the way–has been my favorite since he entered Thai political scene as one of the youngest politician ever years ago. He was in his...

My friend Christine has always supported the Weevils since day one. And now, I am supporting her right back. Besides, it’s a Star Trek related site! Do you think I’m going to let Captain Picard down? Never! Take a visit to http://startrek.fanlib.com/ and http://startrek.fanlib.com/trailer.html A little back story on the history of Christine and myself. Christine is a friend from HSX days. I partied at her place many a times. Lots of memories there. You’ll just have to ask me about it. Hehee… Oh, and I’m back in my game somewhat tonight. Got groceries, started laundry (which Brandon helped finish…thanks...

On one hand: Support came pouring in once Celeste’s accident was formally announced at work. The get well card was signed in record time and everyone came by at least once a day to get the update. Eva and I converged at Celeste’s house around 7:30 for a visit. I brought with me an El Pollo Loco family meal which fed me, the Fireball and her man plus leftover. Celeste’s neighbors were over. Her bus buddies also came by for a visit. Phones were ringing every 30 minutes or so with everyone’s checking in and saying hi. People DO care....

In Thai, there is a phrase “Jai Hai“, literally means your heart (Jai) has gone missing (hai). The meaning of it is that your heart skips a beat when you’re startled. The same expression is used for when your heart drops when you hear bad news or read about something horrible that has happened.

And the girl had her hair up in a bun and wearing a white shirt. The whole...

I feel like there’s a black hole where my heart should be, swallowing all emotions after their brief existence. Brandon kissed me good morning and that piece of happy that usually sticks with me for a good portion of the day instead was fleeting. Came and went like *snap* that. Even the songs I usually have in my head are silenced today. Then again, quiet seems to fit this mood. Or actually, the lack of mood thereof. It’s weird to feel this numb. Gosh. I sound like an emo kid…...

It all started with a wedding invitation. I was invited to my coworker Candice’s wedding. Not wanting to drag Brandon along, I asked my friend Nora. But since the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup, they were throwing a celebration on the same night. Nora would never ditch me out right but the moment she mentioned it, I told her to ditch me anyway. Who am I to stand between my best friend and her favorite team! 🙂 So, going to the wedding solo. I can do that. I’d be among friends anyway. But then, I woke up with a...
