Generation awareness

Image
The other day I talked to my boyfriend how lucky the kids this day. They have social awareness, they have their boundaries set, they have social media and internet to have an access to any information while we had to go to library back then just to learn something or did our homework. There was no such thing as 'Boundary' in our generation. I lived with my parents in a small flat with no privacy until I was 20. I was so ashamed to tell my friends where I lived because most of them lived in a house with their own room. So, no 'Boundary' at all personally and emotionally. What did I have to study and where did I have to study, everything was planned by my parents. I was pushed to support my family at the age of 20 because my dad got laid off and my mom's a house wife. I've never been asked if I wanted to volunteer to carry those duty or not. 25 years of having that on my shoulders, I still haven't been checked if I'm doing ok or not.  So, to understand eac

Anxiety attack...are you kidding?

Have you ever noticed that since the pandemic, or maybe long before, you'd hear the word "Anxiety attack" and you'd be wondering "What the heck is that?!" or "Are you serious?" it sounds like a joke if someone told you that they have an anxiety attack because this is all so new to you. But believe me, I'm not kidding. Before I'd go any further, let's see what is anxiety... What is anxiety? (https://www.helpguide.org/articles/anxiety/anxiety-disorders-and-anxiety-attacks.htm) Anxiety is a normal reaction to danger, the body’s automatic fight-or-flight response that is triggered when you feel threatened, under pressure, or facing a challenging situation, such as a job interview, exam, or first date. In moderation, anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can help you to stay alert and focused, spur you to action, and motivate you to solve problems. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming—when worries and fears interfere with your re

ชีวิตในต่างแดน ณ ประเทศฟิลิปปินส์

*บล็อคนี้เขียนไว้เมื่อประมาณ 8 ปีที่แล้ว แต่เพิ่งจะได้ลง มันก็จะไม่ค่อยอัพเดทเท่าไหร่ แต่ก็อยากลง อยากเล่า.... จากที่เคยเขียนบล็อกก่อนหน้านี้โดยใช้ชื่อว่า "ชีวิตในมะนิลา" ตอนนี้ต้องขออนุญาติเปลี่ยนมาเป็น "ชีวิตในต่างแดน ณ ประเทศฟิลิปปินส์" แทน เนื่องจากว่าชีวิตพลิกผันจากที่คิดว่าจะต้องทำงาน ณ สถานที่หนึ่งเป็นเวลาสองปีตามสัญญา แต่มาวันนี้กลับต้องออกจากที่ทำงานเก่าก่อนเวลาเดิมที่กำหนด และได้งานใหม่ที่ได้รับค่าตอบแทนดีกว่าเดิม ตามที่สมควรได้ และยังได้ย้ายไปอยู่ที่พักใหม่ เริ่มต้นใหม่อีกคร้้ง  เคยคิดเสมอว่าชีวิตคือการเดินทางและการเรียนรู้ แต่ดูเหมือนว่าการเดินทางและการเรียนรู้นั้นไม่เคยหยุดนิ่งและไม่มีวันสิ้นสุดจริงๆ ทุกปีจะมีการเปลี่ยนแปลงเกิดขึ้นกับชีวิตของฉัน หนึ่งปีที่ผ่านมาคือการได้ย้ายมาอยู่ในประเทศใหม่กับงานใหม่ พอเริ่มต้นกับปีใหม่ได้ไม่นานก็เป็นอีกครั้งกับการเปลี่ยนแปลงของชีวิต พูดได้เลยว่าชีวิตฉันนี้ช่างไม่มีคำว่าน่าเบื่อจริงๆ นอกเสียจากว่าการที่ต้องรอเริ่มงานใหม่โดยอยู่เฉยๆ เป็นเวลาหนึ่งเดือนแล้ว!! และการท้าทายในการเขียนบล็อกนี้ก็คือการเขียนจากแล็บท๊อบที่

Positivity is the key...

  What I learn from my lecture today is what most of us probably know from somewhere else. "Self-fulfilling Prophecies", which I understood as positive vibe will attract positive vibe and negative vibe will only attract negative vibe. Sounds familiar? I've learn it long time ago that negativity would not serve me well so did being around negative people would just only drain my energy. Have you ever felt so drain every time when you're with some certain people? It's like every time when you tried to cheer them up and when you spent time longer time with them, nothing would help and they still kept going with all the complaining, drama, and so on. I was there in that position, I kept receiving all the bad vibe and it's absolutely completely mentally drained me. No matter how much I tried to help them, no matter how many time I changed the subject, they would come back to their own problem and focusing on the bad part. So, it's not just only that my emotion

Introduction to Psychology

It's been a long plan that I want to study Psychology, even before the Pandemic, but I didn't have time to consider taking class. Until now.. There's many supported factors to the decision. 1st, I had an emotional breakdown last year in September because it's the time I supposed to be back in Bangkok but I was stuck here. 2nd, I had a couple session with therapist but I didn't find it satisfied to my needed. 3nd, there's a couple online sessions which company provide to employee. I  didn't find it useful as well because, to me, as a instructor, professional speaker, you need to study your audience. You need to know who you are talking to and even learn how to pronounce the company's name or else you are just reading your presentation. So that's it? You're paid to talk but not paid to care? You'd definitely lost me after 15 mins into the session. So, I finally decided to take class, not to understand any broken one nor trying to fix them but t

the love of Ink...

I had my first tattoo 10 years ago and since then, I now have 8 of them.  The first one was Phoenix and it's quite a rush so I didn't have much time to choose through all designs. All I knew was I wanted Phoenix and I also didn't have enough time to do the bigger one. So there it was, my first tattoo as Phoenix. When I went home I didn't know how my mom would react because she always said that tattoo is only for those people who went to jail. Well, that's how Thais believe that people who has tattoo would probably come from prison. Anyway, I was surprised when she said why I didn't get a bigger if I already spent some times to have it done. So, I guess she didn't act overwhelming because I already had it so there's no point to argue about it.  Mom also warn me not to have any sacred tattoo done by those famous Ajarn who did it for Angelina Joli. What you need to know is that, those sacred tattoo has to be well maintain and I didn't mean by taking car

the love of food

The love of food probably started when I was young, my mom always cooked something nice at home. I loved helping her preparing meals but she never let me cook. She said that I would just mess it up in the kitchen so I didn't mind as long as she cooked amazing meal then I let she did her work. And also I was lucky that mom and dad were always adventurous when it came to food. I tried lots of cuisine when I was just a kid. I tried Japanese, Chinese, Indian, European, etc. Also I wasn't really a fussy eater. I love bitter gourd soup which mom cooked but I found out later that actually she didn't like bitter gourd at all but she cooked it so that I'd eat all kind of vegetables. Thanks my mom for that, yes I love all vegetables except carrot. I don't like carrot a bit but I still eat it because it supposes to be good for you, that's what mom said. I also love trying local food when I travelled I miss Thai food from time to time but I don't have to eat everyday. T
