It’s not quite a year-end recap yet. But hot dang, where did 2009 just go?!?! Recap will be here after Christmas to see how I did with my last year’s goals. I don’t think I did too horribly…? In the meantime, here’s our eCard, wishing you a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you are celebrating…or your right to not celebrate at all! Heathen’s Greetings! 😉...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ceBgWV8io] Dances with Wolves in space, James Cameron even admitted that in his interviews. And Avatar was exactly that. And I love every moment of it. Sure. The story is predictable. And a little sappy. And had been told many times before. But it was told with a completely different visual representation. A seamless integration of digital animation and live action. For the first time, the CG characters don’t look like they were fresh out of a botox clinic. Their big yellow eyes say something. Their blue faces had nuances that the entire train full of Polar Express or (from...

Well, this post started after I watched the latest episode of “Sood Sanaeha”, the Thai soap I’m following. Long story short, she finally sees what has been in front of her this whole time, and decides to nab the Chef. The Chef walks away after her big scheme to apologize to him. I was actually cheering for the Chef. Good for you for leaving that manipulative, selfish, whiny bitch! (Well, this is not the finale. Although to me, it’s a perfect ending right there! Karma is a bitch, bitch! But this is Thailand, expect a few more episodes of the...

One week in Bangkok. One movie. One episode of a Thai TV novella. And I’m hooked on the one, super hot Ken, Theeradej Wongpuapan. I only went home to Thailand for one week and I came back completely obsessed with a Thai TV novella, just like the rest of the female population in the country, Sood Sanaeha, directly translated to “Recipe for Love”. It’s all about the leading man, Ken, who plays a chef. He was tasked to teach a superstar to cook because she wants to win the heart of a tycoon, also played by one of my favorite...

I’ve done my share of long distance traveling. Every time some one gasps when I tell them how long it takes to fly to Thailand, I chuckle a little bit inside. “Well, it’s 11-12 hours with a 3-hour layover in Taiwan/Hong Kong/Japan, and then another 4-5 hours to Bangkok. OR I can fly direct for 17.5 hours.” “OH MY GOD! / Da-yam! / Are you kidding me? / I could never do that!?!” Then I will tell them that it’s not so bad any more. On Thai Airways direct flight, even Economy seat has its own on demand TV and...

As previously stated, I am not a Twi-hard. I haven’t read the books, and I haven’t even watch Twilight until a few days ago on Thai cable at the urging of my sister-in-law who insisted that I knew the story before we see New Moon. Being a pop culture fiend, I did know that story. Going straight into New Moon wouldn’t be a problem. I mean, Kuri’s attempt at reading Twilight for the rest of us got me to know enough of the sap involve that I personally don’t want to get in on that crap. (Thanks again, Kuri for...
