To Bangkok We Go

I’m really getting excited now. A few more days to go and we’re going to Bangkok! We’re actually going there to renew my passport but since we’re staying at the city center, we will also have time to go around Bangkok. For the record, I’ve been to Bangkok like countless of time but we are usually there on transit a few times to the Philippines, Chiang Mai and Myanmar. I never got the chance to see the famous Khao San road, Sukhumvit or the Grand Palace.

So I’m looking forward for this trip because we might have a chance to go around. I already planned for us to go to Terminal 21 and Siam Paragon. Isn’t it obvious that I love the malls? Yeah, I love to hang out in malls specially the hi tech ones with  beautiful interiors, elo touch monitors   and wide array of restaurants. But since I just mentioned the Grand Palace, maybe I might include that in our itinerary too! )

New Music Station

I’m listening to a new Christian music station now – Air1. This station offers a more contemporary alternative music which not most people appreciate. I have actually learn to appreciated ‘loud’ music since my younger years because my brother used to be a part of a heavy metal band. So, most of the weekends they will be practising in our front yard while the whole neighbourhood hears the ‘music’ err noise.  My brother’s band was actually quite a small band with just the basic instruments. They didn’t have rickenbacker 12 strings that time yet but I think if they continued on with the group, they could have gone a bit far. But the group disbanded after a few years.

Anyways, so that’s the ‘history’ behind my choice of alternative music at times.

A Book A Week

Before the New Year, I had this plan to read a book per week. It’s a very good plan since it will really force me to allot some time at night to read books. I love to read books but this hasn’t been much of a priority to me after having kids and I guess, the 24/7 internet connection in the house. But for the record, I still read a few books last year.  Anyways, I would love to read more books again.. I will have to make a list first of the books that I will be reading in the next few weeks and I will make sure to post my ‘To- Read List’.
