It's feeling a bit like Spring.

Since the weather had been warming up for the past a couple of days, I decided to take pics of some of the outfits. But now, it's suppose to start raining again. :(

2010 has been the worst year of my life so far.

2010-03-30T22:50:00.000-07:00

Hands down, this year has been the worst year of my life so far. Exactly a year ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to do in life. However, now I'm back to square one. I'm feeling a bit better and is going to roll with the momentum to the fullest. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and life is what you make of it.

Don't sell yourself short.

2009-11-11T23:41:00.001-08:00

This story was told to me by my art teacher during my freshman year in college. For uplifting reasons, I don't think I will ever forget this story.

A lady was having a garage sale. A man came by and saw a painting he liked. He asked her how much she wanted. She thought about it and said $200. He laughed and said that's outrageous. He said he will give her $100. She thought about it, but declined. The man left. The next day, the man came back and told the lady he would take it for $200. She thought about it again. She actually painted that picture and remember how much time and effort went into it. She told the man the price is now $400 because it's truly one of a kind. The man was outraged and told the lady she would never sell it at that price. Later in the day, someone came by and bought the painting for the asking price of $400.

Moral of the story is to know what you're worth and don't sell yourself short. :)

Taboo of sex in other regions.

2009-10-21T21:52:00.000-07:00

It seems that in countries like the U.S., it has sadly become the norm and accepted view that it's OK for a teenage girl to get pregnant. While in other countries, respectable people would wait until marriage before engaging in sexual activities. I guess it doesn't surprise anyone that much since in this country, we are bombarded with the idea of 'sex sells' (it really does in reality) that it's OK to have random sex like it's giving out a hand shake. I personally know males who broke up with their girlfriend for no other reason than them not getting any due to girlfriend wanting to wait for marriage. Who is to say what's wrong and what's right? Just posting this up since I noticed it as of lately.

Trust.

2009-10-09T22:25:00.000-07:00

If there is one thing that takes an eternity to build up, and can be diminished within a heartbeat, it is trust. I bring this up because people don't realize how important it is. Be it from picking good friends, significant other, etc. So many people will say things like "I will always got your back", but when you really need them to hold you down, they're often MIA. I guess this is just another way to weed out the snakes, right?

Not getting tattoo'd up is the new getting tattoo'd up.

2009-09-18T15:41:00.000-07:00

Remember back a decade or two when getting a tattoo was going against the grain? Now it's the opposite. Everyone from ball players to janitors have tattoos now. They've become so common that they lost the exotic wow factor. And most of the times...the tattoos themselves are usually garbage, something with no meaning....just the 'in trend' at the moment. Something like the tribal band or stars behind the ears now.

Athletes don't have it as easy as people think.

2009-09-14T17:43:00.000-07:00

It urks me to the fullest when I hear people say that an athlete's job is easy...all they do is play some ball and get paid millions for it. In a nutshell, that may be true. But what you don't realize is the hours of training and the pressure of staying healthy in order to make the cut.

You can be a hero today, and break your leg in a career ending injury and be a nobody. Not to mention that an athlete's career is significantly shorter than any other careers out there.

Random pictures.

A couple of random pictures I've taken earlier in the year. Enjoy. :)

Floating market.

The lighting wasn't the best because of the weather condition. Nonetheless I thought it was a cool backdrop.

Oh Dear, Mr. Deer.

2009-09-11T15:13:00.000-07:00

I was just coming home from the gym this morning and ran into these dudes. They live around the neighborhood and are so used to humans now. As you can see, the dude just stood there, probably saying "what's up"...lol.

Hua Hin, Thailand.

2009-09-11T12:16:00.001-07:00

I took this picture back when I was visiting my family. This was at Hua Hin, at around 6AM. Such a beautiful backdrop, just wanna share!

Smoking is such a turn off.

2009-09-10T10:37:00.000-07:00

Yesterday on campus, I had some time to kill so I sat down at a random bench to eat a snack. There was an empty box of cigarette lying around. I read the side and it made me think...how can anyone still light up a cig after reading this?

Driving in a newly washed car feels like a million bucks.

2009-08-28T06:21:00.000-07:00

It doesn't really matter if your car is worth $1,000 or $1,000,000...but you feel really good when the car is clean on the inside and outside. I think just like personal hygiene, you can tell a lot about someone by looking at how well maintained their vehicle is.

Tie bar makes an outfit THAT much better!

2009-08-26T13:59:00.000-07:00

I just got in my skinny tie bar from Kenneth Cole and I must say....man, such a small accessory can make an outfit look that much better. Not to mention it's a functional one too! I hated having my tie swinging around in the wind. But now..no more of that! :)

The World Wide Web.

2009-08-21T18:01:00.000-07:00

The World Wide Web truly connects the world together. I remember when I first visited the homeland (Thailand) about 10 years ago and it felt like I was in a different world. Now...it almost feels like America. I hear the same music as I would here. Fashion sense is similar. It's sorta like America, but with the heritage twist.

I think you can even go to the most remote part of the world and if they somehow have access to the 'net, they would be up on things that is going on in other parts of the world.

First generation.

2009-08-18T08:13:00.000-07:00

It's so heart breaking for me to see parents of foreign land come to the U.S. AKA the land of opportunity and struggle with multiple jobs to pay bills and such...just so their kids can live a better live than they did, but the kids are not taking advantage of it. I know a couple of people who are just working at 'whatever' jobs and are living paycheck to paycheck and not taking advantage of what they're really capable of. I know that everyone has their own choice in life and lifestyle, but man...I personally cannot settle for mediocrity with the lifestyle I envision for myself.

And to those that are making something of themselves...my hat goes off to you. You're doing your parents proud!

traditional, modern, and skinny ties.

2009-08-16T19:42:00.000-07:00

For a while now, the trend of skinny ties have returned. It's not so surprising because trends tend to fluctuate. Skinny jeans that are in now were also in back in the 80's and early 90's. Don't believe me? Go Google up early pictures of Ice Cube, Zack Morris, and all of the other cool male figures.

But can something be too good, or in this case..too skinny? Personally, I think yes. The super skinny ties I've seen are only 1.5'' wide. While that may be cool looking for now, it can be ancient looking when the trend dies down. And something that's 3''+ or more in width will make you look like a tacky used car salesman.

Personally I think a happy medium is the solution. If you're on the more fit physique side, something like a 2-3'' wide spec would work well. I prefer a 2.5'' myself. This is something I'm going for now. A timeless look that can be worn today or in 10 years.

Up top, there are 3 pictures. From top to bottom, the ties range from traditional to modern to super skinny. I personally prefer the fit of the tie in the middle.

Oh, and add a tie bar or tie clip for an even more of a slick look!

How you're dressed tells a lot about yourself.

2009-08-16T19:07:00.000-07:00

When I was in high school, I truly believed that you shouldn't be judged base on how you're dressed. I was 17 back then and didn't know better. Fast forward to today, I'm 23 now and I think the total opposite applies. I think that first impression is everything. How you're dressed tells others how much you care about yourself and how you want to present yourself to the public. Besides, if you shouldn't judge a book by its cover..why do we dress up to go to job interviews? Why do we dress up for weddings?

Mind you that you need not wear a tuxedo daily. But if you're over your teenage years, you shouldn't be wearing sagging jeans anymore.

This also applies to the ladies out there. There is a big difference in term of attractive..between classy and trashy. A lady who can dress well is a major turn on.

There's just something about being in the U.S. that makes you materialistic (to a degree at least)

2009-08-16T18:57:00.000-07:00

Every summer or other summer, I would go back to visit my family in Thailand. The country is a 3rd world country and most of the people are just getting by. Every time I get there, I find myself becoming more humble in life and such. I sympathized for some of the kids there. It's not uncommon to see a kid walk 20 miles to go to school and come home at lunch time to feed his disabled grandparents, only to return to school minutes later to finish the day. I keep telling myself that I should be content with what I have.

I feel that way until about 5-10 minutes after I land at L.A.X. I start becoming more materialistic again. Do I really need a $100,000 car? Or expensive wrist watches? Not really. But I guess as they say "monkey see, monkey do". Mind you, I'm not that shallow of a guy. However living in a 1st world country does make you want to 'live the better life' for lack of better words I guess.

Timeless attire is truly...timeless.

2009-07-05T14:34:00.000-07:00

When it comes to fashion trends, there are many and most of them only last for several years...hence 'trends'. Back when I was in high school, circa the early 2000's...you were doing it if you had an authentic jersey or a Mitchell & Ness throwback with the matching fitted cap and Jordans/Nikes. To pull this off, you would need to invest in quite a bit of money. Also I used the term 'invest' very loosely.

If you were to dress like that now, you would look outdated to the 10th power. As of now, the 'in' trend is skinny jeans...yes even the no so skinny fellas wear them. Combined with a fitted hat or a snap back, and a 'street wear' top. Bright colors are a plus. But how long will it last? Trends like to mediate between the extremes.

BUT if you opt for the more under the radar look, it will never go out of style. This is when the rule of 'less is more' can really be applied. I used to stride for clothes with brands plastered all over so I would appear to be cool and be with the in crowd. The problem is that when it becomes uncool, you need to stop wearing the clothes ASAP.

But if you stick with brands that are low key, and dress more mildly, no one would ever suspect a thing. Here is what I'm talking about. For a guy, a sport/dress shirt will never be out of style. The only factor is the cut...which can be fixed quickly by visiting the local tailor.

Compared a relatively bummy guy like Al Bundy to a page from this month's GQ magazine. You can spend $20 or so on Al's shirt to have it more fitted by a tailor and throw on a tie to pull a similar look to that of the GQ one. Mind you that Al's picture has to be at least 12 years old since the show stopped in 1996.

Also, it doesn't hurt dressing like this because it makes you look presentable and as they say...first impression is everything.

Why Americans are fat?

2009-07-05T14:13:00.000-07:00

It amazes me that people fall for all the gimmicks they see on t.v., from 'fat losing pills' to diet programs. The formula is simple...eat right and exercise on a regular basis!

I've read that 60% of Americans are overweight. It's not hard to see why. Back in the days, you had a hamburger and a cheeseburger. Now everyone is trying to up the ante with triple stack and bacon bits and yada yada. Combined with fries and a soda, it's quite grotesque IMO.

Kids also get a lot less exercise. Prior to the video game era, kids actually went outside and play sports. Now they just exercise the fingers on the controller playing games all day.

I can't lie however, I used to be one of these folks. I would just eat whatever I want and whenever. But after adapting to the new lifestyle of exercising on a regular basis and eat (for the most part) healthy food...it is such a better lifestyle! Try it for a month or two and you will be hooked.

First official blog...how do you see life?

2009-07-04T23:01:00.000-07:00

You know the old saying/question..."Do you see the glass of water as half full or empty?". I never gave it much thought until several weeks ago.

I have a pretty well off father and is fortunate to be in the position I am. However I often see myself saying stuff like "Man, that kid is only 17 and is rolling in a new M3!" or "Man, that dude hasn't even hit his mid 20's yet and is already making cake!". This would be the 'seeing glass of water as half empty' part in my eyes.

We rarely look at how fortunate we are, as corny as that sounds. I was at the gym the other day and there was this blind guy working out. I was dumbfound when I saw this. He was working out...like everyone else! I have no idea how he's able to remember the settings on the weights and seats and such. Call me weak or whatever, but I don't know how I would react/do if I were handicapped..be it mentally, or physically. Of course, this would be 'seeing the glass of water as half full".

The point here?....be appreciative of what you have. Yes, easier said than done, but try!

FInally made the blog!

2009-07-04T22:48:00.000-07:00

Finally pulled through and made a blog! I've been thinking about this for a while, but never went through with it until now.

This blog will consists of thoughts I have/had through out the day. Subjects will range from cars to fashion to life issues and such.

I'll update with new thoughts when time permits. Hopefully some folks can relate.
