My Favorite Supernatural Moment

I have been watching Supernatural since forever and yes, I usually watch those episodes alone. The series do open a new chapter to ghosts, angels and demons, of course, some of the incidents are very similar to our culture. Whenever I watch this series about ghosts, my other half get confused as I am afraid of them most of the time, lol!!! Speaking of ghosts, now Bangkok is like a ghost town, and I am going to leave the place due to long holidays and sincerely hope that flood situation is getting better. Wander why on earth did I upload the You Tube video?   Well, this very act by Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) from Supernatural makes me laugh, less bitter and always turns me into a good mood. It kind of hurts when I can't enjoy that very performance in my blog and have to watch that on You Tube!!! And off I go to .....

พุ่มพวง ดวงจันทร์ or The Moon

My dear friend Paja is a fan of late Amy Winehouse for not only her songs but also for the infamous beehive and full eye makeup. She must have heard the news about her favorite singer death by now and saddened the loss of gifted musician. Well I really feel for her especially after watching this particular Thai movie, namely” พุ่มพวง or The Moon”, subtitled in English of course. It is about the life of Thai megastar พุ่มพวง ดวงจันทร์ Pumpuang Duangjan, nickname ผึ้ง (bee), who passed away in 1992 at the age of 31. She was an ordinary girl, grew up in the sugar cane filed in Suphanburi, one of the central provinces in Thailand. Would you believe that she can’t read and yet she learns by heart and can sing almost 100 songs by the age of 12? The illiteracy hasn’t hindered her a bit while trying to be successful in life. Her personal life tells another story: a life of Tears and Sorrow. She has been called “ราชินีลูกทุ่ง” the Queen of Thai Country music (เพลงลูกทุ่ง), music reflecting everyday life of the rural poor and is considered as Thailand’s most famous and loved singer. She died from a non-contagious auto-immune disease and her funeral was held first in Bangkok , then in Wat Tapkradan, Suphanburi province. According to Wiki “an estimated 200,000 people turned up to pay their last respects, even the Thai King himself, Bhumibol Adulyadej came to pay his respects; for a peasant-born woman this was unheard of and has not been repeated”.  I know we all have to die eventually but I still wish both stars lived long enough to tell a tale of their lives. 

Anticipated Flicks

Yes, I like movies and watch almost every new flick available here. My must watch movie of this week was the latest one from Transformers sequel. Some argue that those films are not logical but, as the movie lover, I don’t simply care. I was thoroughly entertained and I am clearly not a hater. The computer-animated effects are dazzling and much better than those in the previous films. The visual effects in this Transformers 3, Dark of the Moon 3D film are phenomenal and yet the most memorable object for me, please don’t laugh, is the Hermes Birkin green ostrich bag from one particular scene, lol! All in all, I had a great time watching this flick and am very excited about watching the following upcoming movies in 3D theaters and in IMAX theater.

Puss in Boots

The Smurfs

The Adventures of Tin Tin

The Three Musketeers

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II

Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol

Extra:  Eminem featuring Pink, Won't Back Down

Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy

If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

La Mer de Charles Trénet

The other day, I watched Rowan Atkinson’s “Mr. Bean’s Holiday”, and this song “La Mer” of Chalres Trénet brought me to life again.  "La Mer" is one of the most famous songs of Charles Trénet, and made a huge success when it was released in 1954. Today it is considered as a classic French song.

La Mer

La mer
Qu'on voit danser

Le long des golfes clairs


A des reflets d'argent


La mer
Des reflets changeants


Sous la pluie



La mer
Au ciel d'été confond


Ses blancs moutons


Avec les anges si purs


La mer bergère d'azur
Infinie



Voyez
Près des étangs


Ces grands roseaux mouillés


Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs


Et ces maisons rouillées



La mer
Les a bercés


Le long des golfes clairs


Et d'une chanson d'amour


La mer
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie

ทั้งรักทั้งเหนื่อย from 365 วันแห่งรัก

This song is from a drama series or my guilty pleasure for every Wed-Thurs night airing from channel 3. 

เนื้อเพลง ทั้งรักทั้งเหนื่อย from 365 วันแห่งรัก 

ไม่เคยรู้ ไม่เคยรู้จริงจริง
ความรักมันคืออะไร
ไม่เคยรู้ ว่ามันยากเกิน จะเข้าใจ
ไม่เคยรู้ ว่าปัญหามันมา
ประคับประคองแบบไหน
ให้ผ่านพ้น ในแต่ละวัน มันยากเย็น
รู้ไหมฉันเหนื่อย...ใจ

ตอบตัวเอง ไม่ได้สักที
ทำไมคนรักกันขนาดนี้
เหตุใดจึงไม่เข้าใจกันสักที
เจ็บลึกลึก ข้างในหัวใจ
ที่แก้ปัญหาที่เกิดไม่ได้สักที
รู้ไหมกับเธอ ทั้งรักและทั้งเหนื่อย

ไม่เคยรู้ ไม่เคยรู้จริงจริง
ไม่รู้ใครคิดอะไร
อยากมีทาง เข้าไปถึงใจอีกคน
ไม่เคยรู้ ว่าลึกลึกใจคน
มันยากเกินจะหยั่งถึง
ไม่เคยรู้ ว่ามันลึกเกินจะเข้าใจ
รู้ไหมฉันเหนื่อย....ใจ

ตอบตัวเอง ไม่ได้สักที
ทำไมคนรักกันขนาดนี้
เหตุใดจึงไม่เข้าใจกันสักที
เจ็บลึกลึก ข้างในหัวใจ
ที่แก้ปัญหาที่เกิดไม่ได้สักที
ทั้งรักและเหนื่อยใจ...เธอรู้ไหม
ไม่เข้าใจกันสักที
เจ็บลึกลึก ข้างในหัวใจ
ที่แก้ปัญหาที่เกิดไม่ได้สักที
รู้ไหมกับเธอ ทั้งรักและทั้งเหนื่อย
