Ugly Duckling Series

     Ugly Duckling Series is thailand teen romance television series produced by GMM TV and broadcast on GMM 25.  It is based on a series of novels published by Jamsai Publishing, a Thai publisher known for its romantic teen novels, and consists of four segments: "Perfect Match", "Pity Girl", "Don't" and "Boy's Paradise". Worranit Thawornwongs and Puttichai Kasetsin play the lead roles in the "Perfect Match" segment. The series was popular, and was Thailand's second-most searched for item in 2015, according to Google.

     I love this series because it makes me loved the Thailand. I love Japan and England country. But now Thailand adds to it. Perfect Match is about Junior (Worranit Thawornwongs), a pretty and rich young miss who's living a happy life, has lots of friends and a handsome boyfriend. One day, she decides to do plastic surgery because she couldn't stand her friends saying how big her cheeks was. She does it without knowing that she is allergic to chemicals, and that causes acne/pimples all over her face. After the incident, her friends and boyfriend starts ditching her by giving excuses. She can't stand the social life she's living among (where everyone is disgusted by her), so she begs her parents to study at a college in the countryside to have a treatment at the college's hospital, and to follow her dream guy from her favorite fiction. And that's where she meets Suea (Puttichai Kasetsin), a very handsome cheeky guy. I love the character of P’Suea. His character is somewhat my dream guy to have.

      As it continue from perfect match. Next is Pity Girl, it is when Alice (Neen Suwanamas) climbed up a tree to take photos,as she took pictures, she saw a handsome boy Aston (Natcha Janthapan) sitting on a bench beneath the tree she climbed. While sneakily taking pictures of him, Aston looked up at her and took her shock,which lead to her falling off the tree. When she woke up after being in a coma, she could not remember anything and came to the realization that she lost her memories. Here comes Fuyu (Nachat Janthapan) he was with her when she went to the hospital. He gave her a journal to write things down and if she can't remember something,just to look back at it. Alice have two friends which is Chicha (Marie Eugenie LeLay) and Chicha's boyfriend BM (Techaapaikhun Thitipoom). When school started Aston came back from America, where he originally lives and was determined to get back Alice.

     The third series of it is Don’t.  Maewnam (Wiraporn Jiravechsoontornkul) is a girl who suffered from trauma as a child, she had confessed to a boy she liked, but was rejected and called ugly. This started a chain, in which the other children also called her ugly. Every since that accident she had always worn a box over her head and had always stayed at home not interacting with anyone.Though, with the help of Minton (Chatchawit Techarukpong), a sweet, flirty, genuine boy who befriends her, and a rude, rowdy, bad boy, Zero (Jirakit Thawornwong), who always creates troubles. Seem to help her get through this now new school life, which she hasn't gone to for 3 years. Maewnam is what i want to be haha. She is so beautiful and love her confidence after getting out of the box. I also love her family especially his father who did everything for his daughter.

     The last one is Boy’s Paradise.  Happily living alone in her family’s pension, Mami (Esther Supreeleela) vows to die before dating a man, after her mother catches on to her secret girl crush. So her mother rents out the house to three guys in hopes to bring her daughter around. But when Mami gets pulled into someone else’s romance problems, she begs her new roommate CU (Sean Jindachote), to be her fake boyfriend.

     I so love this series. I am watching it for how many times already but I will not get tired of it.

Tuesdays With Morrie By Mitch Albom

     There is a well-known saying, “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass,” and I say “Living without inspiration is like living without feelings.” Inspiration is a lamp directing our way. It can be a life experiences like Morrie’s. Tuesdays with Morrie is a book about a professor sharing his life experiences and attitudes with his beloved student before death took him away. To my astonishment, it’s not a dull book trying to preach us readers lessons but a fable-like one revealing friendship, wisdom, and wonderful writing skills.

     The first inspiration which Tuesdays with Morrie brings to me is friendship. In Tuesdays with Morrie, we went through with Mitch Albom a life-challenging incident, a strike, happening to him, which led to his reunion with his college professor, Morrie, who suffered from an illness depriving his life. This small act unfolded a series of conversation between an old man and a young man. On each Tuesday, the professor shared his personal understanding of life. In the end, Mitch got more than he had expected, that is, a pure friendship without status, age, and profitability because he knew about Professor Morrie from a different perspective. At last, the friendship with Professor Morrie transformed into intangible strength and inspiration to Mitch. That is, to me, a true and profound friendship.

    What’s more impressive is the wisdom that Professor Morrie brought us younger generation—a new perspective of death. Normally, death is terrifying issue and we tend to avoid talking about it, not to mention facing it with an undisturbed state of mind. However, Professor Morrie taught us to embrace death after he realized death was about to come. He told Mitch that although he would feel upset because of discomfort and pain caused by the disease, he would recover and hold an optimistic attitude for every day was too precious to waste on crying. Therefore, only if we admit the existence of difficulties, such as frustration, depression, death, and so on could we uplift ourselves to perfection.

     However, all of the above inspiration wouldn’t be aroused because of the author vivid description. Perfect writing skill makes readers picture. When reading this book, the conversations going on between the two characters make it easy for readers to perceive. It was as if I were on the scene. When Professor Morrie’s circumstance got worse as time passed by, I couldn’t help but worry about his health condition and that time wouldn’t be enough for him to finish sharing his life experiences. It seems that Morrie was in front of me, coughing and laughing so that it’s like we went through 14 lessons on Tuesdays with him.  Tuesdays with Morrie thus is a book worth reading.

How to be Happy: 23 Ways to Be Happier

     “For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

     Happiness is a state of well-being that encompasses living a good life—that is, with a sense of meaning and deep satisfaction. There are 23 ways to be happier. I am going to state a few. The 1st one is ‘Find out what to do first’. To be able to be happy we must know what makes us struggle or unhappy. The 2nd one is ‘Give yourself a confidence boost’. We wouldn’t be happy if we are not confident enough that we can be happy. Next is ‘Fuel your progress by learning how to feel better about yourself’. We must know how to pamper ourselves to feel better. and also those skills that makes us think positively. Another is ‘Make positive memories’. Every region in our brains can be strengthened through practice. If our brains are really good at remembering negative things that happen, it can be useful to strengthen the regions of the brain responsible for remembering positive things. Then ‘Pay attention to the good’. Life is hard that we sometimes think of negative things but if we pay attention to the good or positive things we can be happy and be optimist. Afterwards ‘Explore what happiness means to you’.  We all define happiness in different ways. So explore happiness — what it means, what it looks like, and what it feels like — to more easily create it. We are happy when we ‘Speak up and be ourselves’.

     Being happy is somewhat our medicine and motivation to pass through life. As someone’s saying that laughter is the best medicine.  In sum, you can be happier. It's just a matter of building the right "happiness skills."

My Motivation

    Motivation is a powerful, yet tricky beast. Sometimes it is really easy to get motivated, and you find yourself wrapped up in a whirlwind of excitement. Other times, it is nearly impossible to figure out how to motivate yourself. Many people have motivation to wake up every single day. We may not know that those simple little things or reasons are our motivation.

    As a student, to be able to graduate and belong to the society who graduated is our motivation. My motivation is my family and friends. They kept me alive and have me motivated to look forward on the next day.  I am motivated just by thinking of places I want to visit, the book I want to read and the movies or series that I am eager to watch. I am looking forward for these simple things that kept me motivated to wake up every single day. Motivation is literally the desire to do things. Motivation is the reason for people's actions, desires, and needs. We desire to have a wealthy life so we are motivated to pursue our studies and make money. We make plan and that plan is our motivation. We are looking forward what will happen the next day that motivate us to wake up each day. Even our crushes that we are hoping to see that completes our day.

    People will be motivated by a range of factors and these are different for everyone. I am motivated by movies but maybe you are not. There are many factors to be motivated. Not knowingly that these factors motivated us. Just a smile from anyone can makes us motivated to pass through the day.

Detective Conan

     "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."-Shinichi Kudo

     This is one of the best tag line that Shinichi Kudo said on one of the episode on Detective Conan. Detective Conan is a Japanese Anime that was created by Gosho Aoyama. It is my favorite anime since anime is aired on TV5. Detective Conan is the first anime that I’ve watched and probably the last. Hahahah Just kidding.

     I love mysteries, logic and solving puzzle. Detective Conan has that mystery vibe that excites me when he is solving cases. It also has a lesson that can be learn to. For example, when solving math problems or different quiz of Dr. Agasa. There’s this episode where they include one of quotation of Rene Descartes. It’s ‘Irresolution is the cause of the greatest harm’ which means that when you’re indecisive and can’t make up your mind.

     Plus the fact that I really love to learn Japanese language. It is cute and easy to learn and adapt in many ways. Someday, hopefully I will able to visit the place where Detective Conan is created. And to finally meet Gosho Aoyama, the creator of Detective Conan. I want to personally meet him and get his autograph on my collection of Detective Conan’s manga. And to have a picture oh him too.

    Someday, I will have a massive collection of everything that connects to Detective Conan. And will be able to go to Japan. <3

Grace VanderWaal

     Grace Avery VanderWaal is an American singer-songwriter at an early age from Suffern, New York. At the age of 12, she won on America’s Got Talent singing her original song. 

     I envy grace’s talent. To create a beautiful song that catches everyone’s feeling. To sing it confidently even though her voice is cracking. But that’s what makes grace loved by people. I also want to sing but unfortunately I’m not gifted enough to be blessed by a good voice. I also want to write a song but ended up creating a poem that lacks on deep meaning. I love music since forever but music doesn’t love me.

     Despite me having lapses, I still worship music. Because for me, we have different voices that someone can cherish. Grace have crack voices but that’s one of the reason why people loved her. And I loved Grace VanderWaal. <3

     I don’t know my name, clay, beautiful thing and moonlight is my favorite original song of Grace. She is super cool and impressive. I want to be like her. So down to earth. Her song has a beautiful meaning. And my father loves her too.

18 Life Lessons I Learned at Boot Camp That Even Civilians Should Follow BY J. MARK JACKSON

         Life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself. You need to passed all struggle in life before you achieved what you want to achieved in your life. Life is not like answering the math problem “1+1”. Life is like making a program. Step by step, analyzing the question, and give your best looping statement to run your program correctly. Based on the article that J. Mark Jackson wrote about Life lesson that he learned at Boot Camp. I’ve learned more about life. And I realized more things in life.

         The first thing that I learned in his life lesson is the #5 life lesson. Which is “Smile even when it sucks.”. No matter what problem comes in our life don’t forget to smile. Smile is the best revenge in our problem. Because when you smile you are motivated to solve the problem. But smile is not always the best revenge. Because not everyone who take all struggle in life is strong. I’m not like you, She/he are not like me. All the people who lived in this world are different. They have a strategy to passed the all struggle in life.

         The second thing that I learned is the life lesson #17 “If you go to a war zone, do your duty. Don’t be foolish, but be brave.” Do your best to passed the struggle. Even if this problem is hard or not, give your best. If you fail to passed the problem in life it is not hard to let go because you know that you give all your best to passed it. And all the people around you are proud to you, for not giving up and for showing how you brave to fight the problem in life.

         And the last thing I learned is the last life lesson he wrote. “This opportunity is a springboard to your life’s future success.” All problem comes in your life, treat them like travelling the whole world without joining anyone to you. Embrace all the experience for all its worth. Because you’ll never a teenager again and you’ll never have opportunities like these again.

         Going back that I learned in his life lesson the he learned at Boot Camp. As a 3rd year college student and taking a Bachelor degree, I’m much stronger than before after I read his article. Because the life in college is so hard. There’s no elevator to reach your goals in your life. You need to take the stairs if you like it or not. Just like what I said life isn’t about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself. Creating yourself step by step and creating your future by taking the stairs.

“How a Password Changed My Life” By Mauricio Estrella

         Many people facing different hardships in life. We seek help from people that close to us. Some people may not know whom to trust. It’s our nature that in order to keep them out of worrying or shoulder the burden, we keep to ourselves those hardships or struggles that we are facing. But is it good to keep it that way? For me, it is not good. We just letting stress conquer us that could turn to depression. And what more makes it scary? Death.

          I found the article more of an inspiring story written by Mauricio Estrella was very useful and interesting. It is about moving on or changing perspective in life. Mauricio’s job needs to update his password every 30 days. He is so annoyed that the server required them to use at least one uppercase character, at least one lowercase alphabetic character, at least one symbol and at least one number. He is depressed because of his recent divorce. Suddenly, he remembered a tip he heard from his former boss, Rasmus. Somehow his boss combined to-do lists with passwords, and he thought to use an augmented variation of that. In order to forgive his ex-wife he used password as a stepping stone. That simple action changed the way he looks to his ex-wife. He notices that each time he typed his password it became light and he know that he forgive his ex-wife.

          This inspiring story makes me want to do the same. Every day that someone will tell us what we must do will stick to our mind that became a habit then eventually will apply it. Dealing with depression can be hard as what Mauricio facing after his divorce. In order to overcome it requires action, but action can be hard sometimes if our mind is not with us. A simple reminder that a password do can be a great help to notify us that it is not yet over. Taking the first step is always the hardest. By taking the following small but positive steps day by day, we’ll soon lift the heavy fog of depression and find ourselves feeling happier, healthier, and more hopeful again. Typing Mauricio’s password on first day feels heavy but eventually it became light. These reminders helped Mauricio to materialize his goals kept him motivated and excited.

         We must focus on the lesson not on the problem. Every problem has a solution. While it’s sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results. I realize that hardship is not something to take lightly. Solution on hardship in life is something that we need to keep in mind every day to remind us how beautiful life can be. As well as goals, we need to be reminded to think of it and to do it.  And I believe that password can change my life.
