My blog is not dead

It’s been 7 months since I started the new job. My blog was deserted since when. Recently, I’ve been sending out my CV. Trying to get a new job of course. The thing is, I did not notice that my blog’s URL was also in the CV. So, people I sent the job applications to have been visiting my blog. I guess, I mean, I did not expect it’s gonna resouceful about me and people telling that they read it. Wow, I’ve completely forgotten about its power (the thing I did research on). I stopped not only because I’ve been busy but also I thought nobody would read it. Well, the thing is not about that there will be usual readers or not, but it’s something that you have, a tool that will record your whole life, the story of you that will always be available for people to read on and for you. It’s now important to me to keep a record about my life. Firstly, for my self not for readers. Sorry all readers (if there’s any).

New Job

I got a new job as a Creative in a below the line oriented advertising agency.
It’s something engaging with Interactive Media, I think, it’s just not on computer and the internet. It’s about interacting with humans by humans.

Technology will be used in some ways, there’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t you think.

What do we want in our lives?

What we want depends on what we can get. There’re ranges of expectations. If u were born rich u might have a range of things u want as cars holidays luxury stuff…, but if u were born poor your range could be just food and a small house. So can these ranges shifted? Well, it depends on how u live your lives and what you experience. There are millionaires who started from nothing however never content of what they have. Also, there’re bankrupt people who learn to be happy only on what they can get. And also, many who sacrifice their wealth to help others. So, whenever u feel content that’s it that’s when you re happy. Some people think contentment is not good for development. Had we been content on our lives we wouldn’t have developed this advanced. However, the thing is, as things are getting more hi-tech, ‘are we getting happier’?

Regarding the news I would like to explain this thing to anyone reading this blog.

I know it’s hard to explain. But, I would like our Ministers to try to explain the reason why should the clips be removed.
Our King is sacred. I don’t know how to explain in English. But, it’s not just the laws or any customs or that kind of stuff.
It’s because he’s been so kind so great to all the thai. It would take ages to tell how he has helped and is helping us. He goes everywhere that thais need help. He’s so selfless. That’s why he gains loyalty from thai people. Try asking the thais why they love him do not put this issue in your own perspective.

How I get to work_2

Writing a blog is a commitment. Yes, it’s been far too long since I wrote the last one. Moreover, it’s also been so long since I said I would tell more about how I get to work. Almost forget, but still would like to talk about this.

So, since I have become a regular Bangkok commuter, I’ve always been a bus rider. There’ re many kind of buses in Bangkok; buses, mini buses, trucks, vans etc. However, there obviously are two major categories here; the government ones and the public ones. The public ones consist of many companies running their buses on different routes and each route with independent buses. What I mean by that? I mean each bus pays for the bus rent and there they go ‘let’s get as many commuters as we can’. The schedules are organised but they’re just impossible to be well organised in this madly congested Bangkok roads. So, when I ride a bus, it’s like a racing trip. Got to go for now, talk about this later.

Have They Really Experienced Things?

Many people read stuff from the tellers who usually travel aboard, Air Hostesses and Tourists for instance. In cases of  airline people, do you think that they really have experienced that places they have been to, the thing is they don’t spend months or even days in that places, how on earth would they have stories about those countries to tell? Does an airport or shopping plaza really tell what a country is like. Having seen many airports all around the world doesn’t mean they have seen the world.

These people somehow are pround of their full-of-stamps passport. Pathetically, they might not even know where their home is.

The Climate is Changing

I never really, I mean seriously, care about global warming or climate change.
Somehow, I think it really happening.
It’s february and it’s usually hot here in Bangkok.
However, the cold hasn’t yet gone.

I think it’s good though, it’s too hot here.

Views at the pier I cross River Chao Phraya. It’s about 7 am in Bangkok.

Talking About Colleagues

I used to hate people moaning about their jobs or colleagues. In every meet up between my old friends, all we do are talking about the old days and how terrible our jobs, bosses or colleagues are. It’s a way to soothe our stress at work yet it’s quite boring most of the times.

Looking at this in the other way round, these stories tell us a lot about life experience. Moreover, you have a chance to learn about different kinds of people. Make use of these stories and we will be able to sort out the same problems our peers have come across.

Anywhere can be a place to learn and gain life experience even it is from moaning words.

How I get to work.

Bangkok is one of the most congested citites in the world. So, travelling to work in Bangkok is, sometimes, quite an adventure. I my case, there are three main steps of getting to work (on-time).

First, I take a bus (which there is more to talk about on its own sake). Luckily, the main street near my house is not very congested. Here, I try to get to a peir which takes about 10-15 mins (there are a lot of buses here you almost don’t have to wait). However, getting off the bus is a bit tricky, some buses never shut their doors so I can get off at the junction if I don’t want to walk a long way and get sweaty. Though, you have to look after yourself not to be crash by the swarm of moterbikes -who can be anywhere in the road- when you get off outside bus stops.

After that I have to take a boat (a small ferry) crossing River Chao Phraya. Beautiful scenery here, I love it. Will show pictures later. It taks about 5 mins here. Crossing the river is very organised because it can be quite dangerous if people are not managed.
Finally, I take the sky train where people try to be civilized here (I’ll talk about this later). Then about 10 mins I get to my office (early).

So, it takes about 30-40 mins to get to work which depends on how fast I walk when interchanging with these three transports.

More details later.
