Guilin, China

Normalement, je n’aime pas  voyager à cause de mon mal de transports. Mais l'année dernière, je suis allée à Guilin, en Chine comme mon maris me voulait. Comme d'hab, je n'aime pas la nourriture là-bas: il a une odeur tout à fait unique, que j'ai à dire. Un voyage que je n'oublierai pas, c'est la croisière de la rivière Li Jiang de Guilin à Yangshou. Il prend 5 - 8 heures selon les conditions météorologiques. Les paysages stupéfiant m'a fait oublier la nourriture horrible pendant le voyage. À Yangshou, j’ ai acheté beaucoup de souvenirs, qui sont moins chers que Guilin. J'aime les cafés là-bas, ce qui me fait remémorer mon séjour à Paris.

I don’t normally like traveling due to my motion sickness. But last year, I went to Guilin, China as my significant other wanted me to. As usual, I don’t quite like the food there; it has quite a unique smell, I have to say. One trip I won’t forget, it is the Li Jiang river cruise from Guilin to Yangshou. It took only 4-7 hours depending on the weather. The eye-catching scenery made me forget the horrible food during the trip. At Yangshou, I did buy a lot of souvenir, which are cheaper then Guilin. I love those café, which makes me reminisce about my stay in Paris. 

Extreme Set

มันเป็นเพียงวันธรรมดาแต่มีหมัดมากกว่า  ฉันกินอาหารกลางวันคนเดียว ซื้อขนมและคิดเกี่ยวกับการอาหารค่ำ แล้วฉันเปลี่ยนใจและสั่งพิซซ่าแทนจาก Pizza Company 

Extreme set (419 บาท) ประกอบด้วยพิซซ่าถาดกลาง ปีกไก่ BBQ และสปาเก็ตตี้ จริง ๆแล้ว ชุดนี่ถูกกว่าพิซซ่าถาดกลางป็นประจำ (425 บาท) ดังนั้นฉันเพิ่มสั่ง chicken sticks เราไม่สามารถกินทั้งหมด แต่ฉันไม่ผิดหวังเลย : อย่างไรก็ตาม ฉันชอบ pizza ประการใด

It was just an ordinary but rather lousy day. I had my lunch alone, bought snacks, and thought about what to cook for dinner. Then I changed my mind, and ordered Pizza instead. It was from Pizza Company, an extreme set (419 Baht) comprising of medium extreme pizza, chicken wings, and spaghetti. That set was actually cheaper than normal medium extreme pizza (425 Baht), so I added chicken sticks in my order. We couldn’t finish off all, but I am neither disappointed nor upset: I love pizza whatsoever.

Unexceptional Sunday

Sometime last week, I asked my husband whether he likes the background picture of my blog or not. His answer? “I don’t know, I don’t have time to check that out.” Well, I am grateful for his honesty and at the same time, feel a little bit dejected. Anyway, even though someone as close as him doesn’t commit himself to read my blog, I will keep blogging: It is not about being read, it is about being written.

My Sunday was unexceptional: I go out, I eat, and I show off. I tested sweep panorama @ Paragon Cineplex, had coffee @ Starbuck, and shopped @ MNG.

 Starbuck, 3rd floor Siam Paragon, has promotion: “Buy 2, get 1 free” for any drinks during 15-30 June. The staff suggested us to buy 2, thus we can get 3. How can we finish 3 cups of latte while we normally share one big mug?

As MNG has sales, 50%, I am tempted again. But this time, I don’t spend a fortune on a cute clutch purse. I am somewhat glad that they don’t have many shoes this time.

The A-Team makes me dizzy: I can’t recall most scenes as I close my eyes during car chase or shooting scenes. In any case, another movie in my to watch list is Predators. 

Are we shopaholic?

Les produits bon marché sont tentantes pour nous. Le mois dernier, mon mari est allé à Brunei, et a remarqué que les dentifrices sont  extrêmement bon marché. En conséquence, il a fini par acheter quelques-uns. Moi? Je ne plains pas parceque je ferais la meme chose. Quelques jours plus tard, pendant que nous errions autour du marché Gourmet @ Paragon, nous avons vu Sensodyne avec le prix réduit, bien sûr. Nous avons été tentés à nouveau. Quoi qu'il en soit, je me suis dit, nous pouvons donner ces dentifrices à nos parents, qui ont aussi des dents sensibles comme nous.

The cheap goods are tempting, well, at least for us. Last month, my significant other went to Brunei, and noticed that the toothpastes were extremely cheap. As a result, he ended up buying a few. Me? I didn’t complain as I would act the very same. A few days later, while we were wandering around Gourmet market @ Paragon, we saw Sensodyne with discounted price, of course. We have been tempted again. Anyway, I told myself, we can give those toothpastes to our parents, who also have sensitive teeth just like us. 

Spaghetti

ถ้าดิฉันต้องการรับประทานอาหารกลางวันนอกบ้าน ดิฉันชอบกินที่Pizza Company เมื่อดิฉันไม่สามารถกิน pizza ทั้งหมด ฉันก็เลยสั่งสปาเก็ตตี้  ทำไมละค่ะ เพราะราคาถูกเพียง 89 บาทและยังมีเป๊ปซี่ด้วย

If I have to have lunch outside, I prefer to eat at Pizza Company. Since I couldn't finish the whole pizza, I normally order spaghetti. Why? It is cheap, only 89 bahts and I can also have pepsi. 

NEX-5

My original plan for Saturday was to go to Food Fair and take pictures. But the plan kept changing from movie to software installation. Then the decisive factor, my other half received a text message from A/V Value SONY shop, MBK 3^rd floor, saying he could come and pick up his NEX-5, which, frankly speaking, I have little interest in.  I still don’t know the specifications and how practical for traveling, but then it looks so cute and can’t wait to try 3D sweep Panorama.

Coconut and Almond Leave-In Conditioner

Cela a commencé avec mon obsession pour faire mes cheveux doux. J'ai essayé beaucoup de marques de Sunsilk  à The Body Shop. Pourtant, il est difficile de trouver le meilleur pour moi. L'année dernière, quand je cherchais crème pour les mains @ Boots, mon mari a remarqué la noix de coco et amandes conditionneur, il m'a convaincu de l’essayer. Nous avons acheté 2 pièces pour vérifier et je l’adore. En plus, ma tante, la mère de mon amie, ma belle-mère, etc., aiment celui-là. Le prix? Très raisonnable: 45 Bahts / item.

It started with my obsession to tame my hair. I tried a lot of brand from Sunsilk to The Body Shop. Yet, it is hard to find the right one. Last year, when I was looking for hand cream @ Boots, my husband noticed that Coconut & Almond leave-in conditioner, persuaded me to give it a try. We bought 2 pieces to check out and I love it. My aunt, my friend’s mother, my mother-in-law, etc. like them as well. The price? Very reasonable: 45 Bahts/item.   

From Yangon with love

ฉันต้องขอบคุณต่่อแม่ตัวเองและแม่สามี่ที่ดูแลฉัน อาหารต่อไปนี้เป็นเพียงตัวอย่างจากทั้งสองแม่ นอกจากนั้น ฉันไม่ต้องซื้อเครื่องเทศต่าง ๆ เพราะแม่สามีให้เครื่องเทศที่ทำเองเสมอ

I have to thank both my mom and my mother-in-law for caring me. The following food are just the tip of the iceberg from both of them. Moreover, I never have to buy spices as my mother-in-law always provide us with her homemade spices.

Just us two

It is official; I am a Sex and the City addict. I have watched the whole series a couple of times and I can’t get enough of it. I am glad that I am not the only one who is in love with Carrie’s stoop, the shoes, and the Big Apple (though I have never been there).

Last Sunday, I had a movie date with my significant other. There is nothing to think twice as the Girls are back in town, SATC 2. I love the fact that they are fighting against the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and bring up the menopause issue. After all, sometimes you just have to get away with the girls.

My beloved hubby saying about those girls’ fabulous fashion during the movie touches me. I am really grateful for not only accompanying me to the big screen, but also appreciating what I love. I proudly told him it is thanks to Patricia Field, a costume designer, a stylist, and a fashion designer.

Another much anticipated movie for me would be from Twilight Saga: Eclipse. I still remember how my other half felt sleepy while watching New Moon last year. Well, this time I will not drag him to the theatre unless he wants to. I am sure about which movie he can’t wait to watch: Toy Story III.

My favorite cereal of all time

Je n’aime pas les céréales quelque soit pour le petit déjeuner ou un casse-croûte  comme une barre de granola. Cependant, j'aime de maïs, soit dans la salade ou un hamburger. Mon hamburger est tellement facile que je acheter tous les ingrédients d'un supermarché. Tout ce que j'ai à faire, faire chauffer du poulet et du maïs avec du beurre.
