I.D. Magazine Student Review

Today I and Pnaam sent our projects to I.D. magazine hoping that we will get $1000 from the competition. Honestly, I think we will get nothing. We already paid $70 to them...But it's a very good investment. If we get published in this magazine, we will be able to achieve our good career in the future. My future is coming closer and closer, but still cannot find a job yet. I just hope that Wham-O will want to hire me...

Ignored

Tonight I ended up having instant noodle alone in my bedroom. Erk promised me that he would take me out for dinner...but he broke the promise without telling me in advance. I am so disappointed. I was so glad that he wanted to go with me and left his work behind for a while. I was wrong again...

Kiku Anone

I'm getting old...I can feel. I don't feel like wearing colorful outfits. All I want are black, gray, white, and blue. These colors look more professional, don't they? But today I want to be a teenager again...haha. Big contrast! old face VS young hair.

Design Competition

Hmm..I applied 2 design competitions, but I had never submitted my design, not even designed actually. What kind of person am I? Do I need someone to push me? I guess because it has nothing to lose. I did homework because my dad paid for tuition fee and if my grades are not good, it will reflect my future career. I did the job at wham-o because I am afraid that they were going to blame me and kicked me out. I really admire those people who entered the competition. Although, they might not win, they have won their mind.

Thanks God

Finally, Minnie is legally mine...yahoo. Thanks God that this time I got no problem with the evil tax office. Anyway, Minnie is still being checked. They don't know what causes the problem yet. I just hope it is not going to be very expensive.

The Martin Luther King Junior

I woke up at 7.30am to call someone in Wham-O because I wanted to know if today is a holiday or not. No one answered my call because it's too early. ummm...so I slept again and talked to myself that I was going to wake up and call them at 8.30...zzzz....11.30 Goshhh I just woke up and I called. The smart phone system asked me to input a last name. There are 2 last names that I remember which are Vice president's, and HR manager's. HR manager's ext reached me to her answering machine. I thought that was a good sign since she might not be at work. Just to make sure, I called VP...and he picked up. (T_T) TODAY IS NOT A HOLIDAY AT WHAM-O. Finally, I gotta call JP and tell them that I'm going to go on Wed-Fri instead. huu..stupid girl.

Berkley

I went to Berkley with Erk...following by Pnaam and Jup at night. My goal was to see the university. But we were so hungry..then we ate...and after that it was dark already. So I didn't see anything. Ok..never mind...We went to see a car with Pnaam. Hahaha,,no comment. All I can say was at least it could be driven..Oh and the chrome wheels looked cool. Before heading back to downtown sf, we ate again at Laos restaurant, Dara. It was very delicious. I will go back there again for sure..(if Erk wants to go with me)

Home Sick

Just called mom..but couldn't talk even a word because the phone card system (i guessed). I miss her so much. Now I'm really weak...If only she stayed here, I would be much stronger. Something is amazing about mom's healing power. Although, I rarely share my problems with her, I forget all the hardship I encountered when I'm with her. Her conversation deleted my bad memory for a while. I remember when I was 6 years old...one day I cried a lot for tons of homework. Actually, it wasn't that much, but for kid's scale,,,it's enormous. I didn't even want to try to finish it and almost gave up. Thanks mom..she encouraged me and asked me to believe in myself.."You are the best kid, you can do it." I always think that if I could ask for anything in this world, I would ask for the eternity...just for mom and dad. I don't want them to get old. I want to be rich and successful and be able to make them happy then they can stop working.

TAX clearance

I hate these offices. Every field office is the same. They are means and not willing to help. These behaviors might become the culture for government organizations...same as Thailand. It's so weird and so sad for them. They shouldn't turn themselves into those evils. The office is nice...but people suck. They made me sad and upset today. Godd...I hope I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Poor Minnie

My minnie cannot speak for a few days...I have no idea what the problem is. Poor Minnie....I need to take her to be checked next week...spend money again. Good news is that I have gotten Social Security Number today. I'll be able to apply for credit card and build my credit in USA. Another good news is that I get used to working life. I start to enjoy the work and I'm not tired at all. Designers are very sincere...They gave me big opportunity to show my ideas and present to their boss. I hope it'll get produced this year...day dream.

Sunday Party

Today we had Shabu Shabu and Barbeque at our living room with 5 main guests, PJeab, Dew, Jup, Pump, and Pnini; and 2 special guests, Goody and a new drummer. Pnini didn't eat much because she couldn't eat beef (-_-)...she might be bored. All smoke and smell got into my bedroom. Umm..tomorrow I will transform myself into BBQ girl because of those smell. It was fun, but deep inside my mind I worried about the work tomorrow and waking up early....it's awful. How to encourage myself....to be happy for work? Or I'm too lazy?...Goshh...When I didn't get it, I wanted it so bad. But now I didn't feel like working at all. Help Help Help!!

Sickness

I got a cold ... It's from Erk. I felt so uncomfortable and sleepy all day. Still, I played the new game we've just gotten, Party Dance. It reminded me of Golf, my cousin who really loved to play this game. Today Erk cooked for me...so sweet. Devon came by tonight to drop Jay's works for Pnaam and Erk. I was not sure how those guys feel, but I was sure it was not good feeling. Hope everything is going to be all right. I'd better go to bed now...hope I'll get well tomorrow.

Tired

Someone always thinks that he/she is too tired to do anything. Actually, I'm tired too, but I did it because I wanted someone I cared to be happy. I don't understand why he/she has never seen or understood and tried to help me back. It made me so upset.

Final Grades

Huu...I just checked my final grades of last semester. I'm getting worse...I got 2B+ and 1A, but it didn't make me disappointed at all. Last Summer, I got my first B from Graphic Design class, and after that everything is fine for me. Getting A was not my goal anymore. It was changed to be getting a job. I spent time for portfolio instead of only for homework and thesis. Like I wrote in the last post that God planned everything. Now I am smiling with my "B"s.

Wham-O

Wham-O is the company I'm working as an intern student. Designers are young and so kind. Americans are independent as I can see some of them have lunch alone, unlike Thais. The rest brings food from home. That means I gotta have lunch alone too. (>_<) This company is so relax. The first reason is because it's a toy company, so most of them are playful. Secondly, my most favorite thing, employees there are punctual both in the morning and evening. That means I can go home before 6pm...hohoho... How lucky I am! Although, I'm Buddhism, I'd like to THANKS GOD that he made this happened.

Sunday Again

Goshhh! Weekend goes so fast..I haven't done anything fun. Tomorrow I gotta work again...wake up very early...drive for 40 minutes. The worst part of the day is waking up at 7am. I used to do that 3 years ago, but now I haven't gotten used to it yet, so I feel tired at work all day except for the last hour of work which I'm very energetic and productive. Keep pushing myself!

Mini Cooper

Introducing my (dad's) car, Minnie. It's my new (used) Mini Cooper. I really love this dream car. When I was in Thailand, I imagined myself driving a mini cooper. I can't believe my dream comes true. Thank you daddy...you are super super super kind.

DoDo and FeBe

Dodo and Febe are very cute and smart dogs. They learnt things so fast except for toilet thing. I'm so happy to stay with them (tired too). They will be trained by Devon. She is a good trainer! so amazing.! I and Pnaam stole them from Devon's friends for a day because we really want dogs in the house. Erk seemed happy with the dogs too. I hope I will get one.

New Year

Happy New Year to my family and friends. I wish everyone happiness and success. We had big crabs yesterday...it's so delicious. . but poor crabs were killed by us. I went to Thai Stick last night for counting down. I had no Thai girl friend with me..it's kind of lonely although my boyfriend were singing on the stage. I felt like I went alone...Anyway, it's better than staying alone at home. HAPPY NEW YEAR! one more year!
