Love is a gift I give unto myself. I may not be sure if someone loves me back, but it doesn't matter for true love is selfless. In nurturing this special affection, my soul sings, my heart goes into a happy dance and I am once again able to find poetry in everyday things:Sunshine reminds me of youWhen the noon's rays descend upon meAnd I am suddenly filled with heatfrom the passion of you...The rain makes me want you moreBecause it is coldAnd this kind of weatherMakes me want to stay indoors,curled up in the depths of your soulI welcome the sunshineKnowing that on ...

As Hot as Tom Yam
Jan Dara massages Khun with ice cubes, originally uploaded by ajay.I watched this movie over the weekend for two reasons: I like foreign films (read: not from Hollywood) and because the blurb screamed Asia's Erotic Phenomenon.The synopsis: Jan Dara is set in the moody and turbulent Thailand of the 1930s. Jan Dara is a Thai young man whose earliest memories are that of his own father having sex with his childhood nanny. In this lopsided and obsessive world, he was cast out of his comfortable but troubled household at the age of 13 after his stepsister accused him of ... Continue Reading...
Que horror
As a footnote, Jan Dara would have been the provocative movie it was intended to be if only two of my fellow moviegoers kept their voices down. Would you believe they were talking so loud I thought they were already extensions of the movie's sound effects? I would have relished throwing my iced tea tumbler at them but the equally-pissed audience might witness another movie starring...myself!Have people become so dense and ill-mannered these days? I mean okay, it is at least tolerable to pick your nose in public as long as you don't give me your booger but to do totally ... Continue Reading...
What’s in a diary?
On my 700th hit, I decided to tell people close (and closed) to my heart about this blog. That's after I decided that it was presentable enough to be viewed by the world.As expected, my friends had mixed reactions about the whole thing. "Hey Ju, thanks for the invite. Was reading some of your postings a while ago. You're such a compulsive writer," Lei wrote from New York. I have to admit this description intrigued me.But then, Lei always had this talent for brilliant ambiguity. Prior to this, I didn't think my writing ability was capable of being defined in the order ... Continue Reading...
The HK connection
The week has been a flurry of activities and I pay dearly for it now with symptoms of the flu.It helps that I won the major prize in our Rotary induction last night, a DVD player, so staying in bed munching on chips and watching my favorite movie, suddenly seems like a very good idea.Honestly, I am appreciating my Rotary membership now. It's an entirely different network altogether and I am not daunted by the fact that the males outnumber the females 9:1. In my club, for instance,we are only 3 girls and the other two are twins. Again, I can't complain. They are all ... Continue Reading...
