My dearest hubby...

I am very grateful that today you ordered pizza for dinner so I didn't have to cook. It was very nice of you to download my favorite show and finished watching it with me even though you thought it was a really lame episode. I was thrilled that you also gave me a back massage because my neck and back have been hurting. I am very grateful for everything you've done for me. But...can you please do one more thing for me tonight? You know? I've been having trouble sleeping and you were so nice for not getting annoyed when I slept in super late. Don't get mad at me ok? But while I'm putting all my energy to fall asleep, can you please STOP snoring? I feel like there's someone firing a machine gun in this room. And I am not brave enough to fall asleep in a war zone....

Love you the most,

Your sleep deprived wife

A very long long night

I've been having trouble falling asleep at night. It's 3 am and I'm still wide awake! I tried to close my eyes, relaxed and laid very still on my bed but I just couldn't shut my brain and stopped thinking about nothing! (I would be totally fine if tonight I come up with a million-dollar business idea. But all I can think of now is a bowl of yummy fruit pop cereal. Grrr!) And the old counting-sheep trick doesn't rescue me from this misery either.

The sheep looks way too happy to let me fall asleep...

I don't think I have insomnia. I never had trouble falling asleep before. I usually am capable of sleeping anywhere, anytime. This is very unusual. I just hope this problem doesn't persist though....I need my beauty sleep :P

Or maybe my dark circle would turn out beautifully like this?

I am a bad blogger!

Yes...I am a really bad blogger. Last time I posted something on here was almost a year ago. Unbelievable! Anyway, I'm back with a new blog look. Did it help redeem myself a little? Hopefully?

Thailand and its people are suffering with big floods at the moment. The more I read the news, the more worried I get. It seems like the flood will not go away any time soon. Usually, the government will try to keep the flood away from Bangkok because it is the financial center of the nation. They couldn't do it this time. The prime minister announced that what's happening is as severe as the flood back in 2538. People are starting to stock up their food supply and many supermarkets are out of canned or ready-made food. I hope the situation will get better and no more people will be harmed or injured.

Despite the suffering and sadness, I see the kindness of Thai people pouring down from everywhere. Tons of foundations and emergency centers are set up to relieve the damage. People donate their money and/or physically help in packing and delivering emergency kits. The King of Thailand, who has been in the hospital for quite some time, gave an order to set up his hospital room as a work center to enable him to work and look after his people even though he himself is not well. The princess Sirindhorn was seen on a truck helping out the suffering without being broadcast on the royal news. Many actors/actresses risk their lives driving through the rapid current to give food and basic needs to people who are trapped in villages. A successful businessman, Tan Ichiton, the founder of Oishi drinks in Thailand, demanded to stay in his factory with five other employees so the rest of the employees could be rescued from the area. In his interview, he informed that his 3 billion baht worth of newly-invested machines were destroyed, but with his optimistic personality, he encouraged everyone to stay strong and keep fighting. He even shed tears over the loss, and perhaps his own discouragement, but still acted strong and refused to leave the factory with the news crew. An old beggar was seen donating all the money he had in the donation box. Not to mention soldiers who work nonstop to provide conveniences to people. In the darkest time, there's always a beautiful light shining on everyone to give peace and happiness. Thai people have been disunited for quite some time. This natural disaster may be a wake up call for all the Thais to love their brothers and sisters and return to be a peace-loving people again...

I am proud to be a Thai!
