Certainty is Uncertainty
Some people say wealth is certainty and some say fame is certainty. However,I don't think so. For me, wealth and fame are only the nominee of happiness people need all the time but in the real life they don't forever live with us; happiness is in fact uncertainty. It comes and goes. You may be glad to live with them today but you can suffer from the coming great disaster tomorrow. Consequently, it's true to say that we cannot depend on anything uncertain at all and we need to realize of that to adjust ourselves into what's going on in life. That can make our lives easier.

How Many Friends?
Hi… everybody, today, I have the inspirations story to present about your friends.
The old man turned to me and asked, “How many friends have you?”
“Why, 10 or 20 friends have I,” and I named off just a few.
He rose quite slowly with effort and sadly shook his head.
“A lucky child you are to have so many friends,” he said.
“But think of what you’re saying. There is so much you do not know.
A friend is just not someone to whom you say hello.
A friend is a tender shoulder on which to softly cry, a well to pour your troubles down and raise your spirits high. A friend is a hand to pull you up from darkness and despair when all your other so-called friends have helped to put you there.
A true friend is an ally who can’t be moved or bought, a voice to keep your name alive when others have forgotten.
But most of all a friend is a heart, a strong and sturdy wall, for from the hearts of friends there comes the greatest love of all.
So think of what I’ve spoken, for every word is true, and answer once again, my child, how many friends have you?
And then he stood and faced me, awaiting my reply.
Softly I answered, “If lucky…one has I. You.”
//I wish you have more the inspirations with your friends. I think that we have only a good friend better than a lot of friend but who are the bad friends.^-*

To: Siamniramit Show
To: Siamniramit Show
This is my post of last week
that i have a publish post blog problem
On last Saturday, My boss asked me for take care visitors from German. In the morning I guided them to visit Emerald Buddha Temple and then at night I took them to siamniramit show. My boss offered me 2 free tickets, one for me and the other one for my sister so I have to buy one more ticket for my farther. At first I think the ticket fee is 1,050 baht including dinner buffet (my boss told me) but when we are there at the admission gate. Whatever Thai or foreigner, the fee is 1,500 for show only and +350 baht for dinner buffet.
I try to ask the siamniramit staffs give me a discount as we paid in group at rate 1050. Just only for a ticket. Finally they OK. In the siamniramit area, it’s look like an ancient Siam country. Everyone in the area dress up like the ancient people.
The shows start at 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm, about 1 and half hours. The performance told us about Siam country traditional and culture. The overall of the shows are very nice but I think it’s less information for visitor from oversea. For example when they show performance about Loykatong (ลอยกระทง) festival, they invite some foreigners and my guest to join by giving them a banana-leaf cup (กระทง) and ask them to put on river and then sent them back to the seat with out any information. Suddenly, my guest asks me that what is that? What is the festival about? Why I have to put it on river? After I told them a little bit information, they look very surprise and interested more in Thai culture.
In my opinion if the purpose of siamniramit show is a promoting Thai culture, they should think about detail more. Just gave them the information during the shows. Just show a slide or any handout. The visitors would be happy and enjoy the show more.

Do it today before it's too late.
On Wednesday, I went to my uncle funeral at Wat Chonlapatan.
I have listened a sermon that makes me cry during I’m waiting for my parent and my cousin coming (they are on the way from Songkhla to BKK)
In a funeral today, monk gives a sermon on the topic about parent’s benefactor.
The monk said that
“everyone knows very well that parent is a benefactor.
Everyone knows very well the way to return the favors to their parent but many people did not do it immediately.
Some kids said they are no have time to take care their parent, they are not free to visit or call their parent
but why? When their parent dead they have time to visit their parent in a funeral that it's too late for visiting.
For those who still have a chance today. You should do it immediately.
Plan for visit your parent as you plan for shopping.
What’s your parent want to eat you should find for them as much as you can.
Where your parent wants to travel, you should take them there when you’re free.
Do it today you will not sad when your parent die.
Because It impossible to eat anything when they dead even you knock coffin. It’s worthless.
Don’t shy to show that how much you love your parent.
Hug them. Kiss them. Tell them everyday that you love them.
Call them everyday as same as you call your boyfriend.”
After the sermon, my parent arrived. I go to hold my parent immediately.
They quite surprise what happen with me why i'm cry. I just smile and say “คิดถึง” (I miss you).
Now I have done a good thing for my life and what about you!

"Don't" Word and Life
Last month, I've got an forward e-mail from my friend that strikes my mind. The title of the e-mail was " "Don't" Word and life " which made me wonder about the text inside it. And I found these sentences:
Don't wait for a smile, to be nice.
Don't wait to be loved, to love.
Don't wait to be lonely, to recognize the value of a friend.
Don't wait for the best job, to begin to work.
Don't wait to have a lot, to share a bit.
Don't wait for the fall, to remember the advice.
Don't wait for pair, to believe in prayer.
Don't wait to have time, to be able to serve.
Don't wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies.... neither separation to make it up.
Don't wait.......Because you don't know how long it will takes.
Most of time , all of these circumstances have been through the people around me. When they looked back to the things which had passed in their life and they would found what it said is true.
Nobody know when all these will happen with yourself so the day will come when you will realize it. As you have known yourself, please just do it on the right way and the right time.

Did I do as the Romans do in Thailand ?
I always ask myself did I do as the Romans do in Thailand because there are still some differences existed between China and Thailand. I wish I can understand the Thai people’s real intension but sometimes I really doubt about my own judgment. For instance, I had to move my apartment from the second floor to the third floor because of a snake entered into my room which was a nightmare for me. I asked some of my Chinese friends came to help me. I almost moved everything to the new room with their help, so they went back and I also have to finish the rest things. When I tried to carry the last piece of the furniture to my new room I made a basin of my neighbor which next to the aisle dropped to the floor and broken into many pieces. My neighbor came out with the sound of the basin broken and saw me was trying to get the small pieces of the broken basin. I said sorry and told him I will buy a new one as a compensation, but he said that’s okay, just a basin, don’t take it as a matter. He asked his son came to pick up the broken basin with me. When we finished clean the floor I gave 3 hundred Baht to his son and asked him to buy a new basin for me because I don’t know where I can buy such a basin to give them, then I left. When I reached my room I saw his father came up with me, he refused to take the money that I gave to his son. What he said made me feel very impressed. He said: “we are neighbors, you don’t have to pay much attention to such a broken basin, Do you know Thai people’s Nam jai, if we accept the money it’s really a kind of shame in our eyes” I told him that I really want to buy a new basin for him but I don’t know where I can get it so I asked his son to buy it for me. Finally, he gave 3 hundred Baht back to me without listen to more explanation and left. I was touched by what he said and what he has done. Thai people always give a good impression. But on the other hand I really what to know that did my neighbor get angry with what I have done? What should I do if I want to make compensation in this situation?
Simply Menu
Do you like egg?
I like a menu's eggs. Eggs are extremely versatile-I'm used as an ingredient for hundreds of nutritious and easy recipes.Eggs are packed with protein and egg yolk is one of a few foods to naturally contain vitamin D.
Today, I'm teaching easy manu with egg ; Eggcellent star(I'm named this menu). OK, an ingredients of menu;
point of menu is 15 quail eggs,
1 cup vegetable oil,
2 and 1/2 tbsps red curry,
100 g. minced pork,
1/2 cup water,
1 tbsp fish sauce,
1/2 tsp palm or white sugar,
kaffir lime leaves, red chilli peppers chopped, coconut cream and basil for garnish.
Method isn't too much hard, if you like cooking. First, fry quail eggs in a frying pan over a medium heat until cooked, set aside. Frying a curry paste in one table-spoon of oil, stir until scented. Add pork, water, fish sauce and sugar. Turn off heat, then add chopped kaffir lime leaves. At last, place a spoon of the pork mixed on a fired egg and drop warm coconut cream on top. Serve with rice and garnish with kaffir lime leaves, chilli chopped and basil.

The fact
I have just read the column: why-learn-to meditate and I really like this column because it is the fact that almost people’s feeling are depended on the external circumstances. Me too! I always cling to the person I love tightly that make my mood fluctuate all the times; when she was nice to me, I was very happy but when she acted bad to me, I felt very sad. I couldn’t control my feeling. I want to be happy but it was very difficult to calm me down. It’s very interesting to practice a meditation; I tried to practice it but I didn’t have a concentrate to do that so I abolished. I hope someday I will have an intention to success it.

patient or impatient?
I am the one who was very impatient. I can not waited for someones or somethings and can not stopped to angry with someone who late. I did not like to queue up for dinner at MK or Fuji restaurant.
Now, I am more impatient than the past because of I see many people who was impatient than me, so I feel bad with some of them.
How can I calm down? The answer is I tried to count 1-10 may be 100 or 500 that can help me to take time with myself and then I can asked myself " what happening?"
Today, may be I can not say " I am patient" but I can say " I am not impatient"

Befriend with trouble
How often have you been bored with the traffic jam in Bangkok? Do you think living in Bangkok is more difficult? If you answer the first question that 'every day' and the second one that "yes", that means you and I are in common. I have begun to hate going around Bangkok since I moved myself to Nonthaburi. I love the place which isn't crowded, and full of tranquility. However, Nonthaburi nowadays becomes a big city which is really crowded and there is no more tranquility in it. It seems as if I wouldn't escape this trouble for sure so only one optimistic thing I can do is I have to befriend with it, adopt it to my life and realize that it is a part of my life. I believe this way everyone can do, too.
