Fond of Foodland

It's not often that I go to Foodland for grocery for few reasons:
1. It's too far from our place.
2. They only accept cash.  So you must come prepared.

Last week, Tony and I had a free ride with Kuya Art from the church in Bangkok to AIT and it so happened that he's dropping by Foodland, IT Square branch to buy some food supplies. We accompanied him inside and had a frantic shopping for half an hour. One of the best reason to go there is buying fresh Bangus (Philippine national fish also known as Milk Fish).  You can never find it anywhere else in Thailand except in Foodland.

My Agent 007 Dream House

My dream house seems so far off and unrealistic.  I was told to dream unrealistically by one of my mentor before, after all most of the things that are made now were impossible way back then.  Including the airplane, mobile phones, Internet, stem-cells etc. 

I imagine of having it built in an island with a helipad (grammatical contraction meaning helicopter landing pad), underwater aquarium, tunnel for speed boat passage and solar powered.  Most likely, it would be similar to that in the Thunderbirds movie.

Homes for Sale offering a built in and customized designs to match the fancy of the clients is invaluable.  It is considerable to look for real estate brokers in realestatebook.com for professional assistance and the assurance of getting the excellent choice.

Home buying tips:
1. Get professional help.
2. Never buy if you are not willing to settle for a long time.
3. Clean your credit history.
4. Make sure you are a member of any Housing Loan Program if you can't afford to pay it cash.
5. Aim for affordable ones.
6. Find a good location.
7. Make a lot of research before bidding.

Techie Kids

MP3,  MP4 and iPod players often reminds me of my nephew R-vin.  Before he left for Finland he was making all the effort to pass all his grades so he could ask a favor from his dad.  He asked what gift would be better, a laptop or an iPod.  I was certain he would choose iPod because they already have PC at home. And he's not really into computer applications yet but only for online gaming.

Kids are really so advanced these days.  I wonder what will happen if everything turns wireless in the future. Would they also ask for chip transplants ahead of their parents?

Ms. Noppamas Beauty Pageant

Lots of things took place during the Loy Krathong Festival last Saturday. One of which is the search for Nang Noppamas (Ms. Noppamas beauty contest). 

Part of the history of Loy Krathong Festival is the search for the most beautiful and talented lady.  It first took place in Sukothai, the first capital city of Thailand. This tradition existed through the effort of a woman named "Noppamas", who was the chief royal consort of Sukothai kin. She created the first ever krathong (made of banana stalk, leaves with flower, incense, candlestick ornaments). This pageant is done in her honor.
