Chan Chaiyochlarb — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:58:00 GMT

That is a pretty bold blog title and absolutely had nothing to do with the Oscar itself. But I had very little time last night to watch Oscar, and was somewhat curious about the winners and losers. So I hit up Google and use this search term “Oscar”....(read more)

Y HALO THAR WURLD

Chan Chaiyochlarb — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:51:51 GMT

Today was an eye opener for me. When I browsed through my Flickr account, I happened to notice the greetings-in-different-language on my Flickr home page. You know the usual phrases "Kumusta ch4n!" (Tagalog), or "Hola ch4n!" (Spanish), or "Bonjour ch4n!"...(read more)

I have always enjoyed watching motivational speakers giving out some speeches or tips on how to err... be motivated in life, or help others stay motivated, or maybe motivate others. But most of the time the content of those speeches would stay with me...(read more)

Chan Chaiyochlarb — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:42:00 GMT
