Praying for time

I want to post about my Kogi BBQ experience on Saturday but y’all will just have to read my old twitter feed for now.  I promise to tell y’all all about it! Because Thailand is going to hell in a hand basket. And I’m constantly monitoring the situation. And praying for some kind of a resolution. My family is safe as far as I know. My oldest brother’s condo is close to PM Abhisit’s residence and that’s the closest to any action we’re going to get with my family, I hope. Thaksin, you lying, scheming, selfish, power hungry, son of...

Mouthful

After 16 years of going home to my family dentist every year, someone else got to look at these pearly…well…ivories.  (Whitening these puppies? Not a chance!  Not my natural coloring.) After 16 years of being in the U.S., my teeth finally have been touched by American dentists. That’s right. Dentists. Plural.  Three of them. All in one day too. Originally, I was supposed to go to the orthodontist consultation appointment then go to work. But then I had this mild sore throat and been tired all over since yesterday, so I decided to just stay home after the appointment.  As...

25 Things a la Facebook

I had a feeling I might have done this before but for the life of me, I can’t find it on the blog.  I guess if I can’t remember, then it never really happened. Since I got tagged bajillion times on Facebook for this, and for some reason I’m not even tired, here’s my random 25. I’m ambidextrous. Sort of. Think I was born a lefty but then was made to use my right hand.  I write with my right.  Shoot hoops and pick up heavy stuff with my left.  I bat left because as a lefty forced to play...

Deliciousness

America gets Obama.  Thailand gets Abhisit. The world is done with old school. We’re looking at the new generation now. It’s not the scenario I have in mind for my beloved Khun Mark to take the Thai PM seat, but the day I have been waited for has arrived. And yes, for you critical readers out there, I am superficial when it comes to Abhisit. VERY and proudly superficial.  I’ve been rooting for the man since he entered politics at 27.  For the fact that Khun Mark can sit down with CNN with no translator is refreshing and inspiring. Here’s...

Back to earth

Hey ya. I’m here. Sorry for the MIA.  You know, with jet lag and all, I’ve been going to bed at 8 p.m. all week and been playing catch up with work as well. We landed Monday night after quite a long journey.  The 7 hours spent putzing around Taipei airport during a layover could’ve sucked less if we would’ve found the Transit Hotel earlier.  Instead of napping on the benches in a quiet terminal, we could’ve been snuggled up in a comfy bed.  Oh well.  Next time, we know. Wednesday, I was at my board of investors’ holiday shindig...
