I FELT LONELY THIS EVENING. AND I DIDN'T SAY THAT AS A BAD THING. BECAUSE SOMETIMES GOING ON WITH YOURSELF ALL ALONE MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU COULD HAVE FOR YOURSELF. NO WORRIES. NO OBLIGATION. NO DRAMA. NO ONE BY YOUR SIDE AND YET MORE FREEDOM. OF COURSE, FREEDOM COMES WITH A COST OF FEELING LONELY BUT WHEN YOU FEEL LONELY, YOU FEEL LONELY. THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT ENJOYING IT, RIGHT? WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO DO? CRYING INSIDE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO SHARE YOUR LIFE WITH? THAT'S ABSURD. YOU HAVE 'YOURSELF' TO HANG OUT WITH. YOURSELF WHO IS THE ONE WHO GROWS UP AND GROWS OLD WITH YOU. YOURSELF IS THE FIRST PERSON YOU MEET WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND THE LAST BEFORE YOU'RE UNCONSCIOUS. SOMEONE ONCE SAID LIVING A LIFE IS NOT ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF, IT IS ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF. SO BASICALLY, WHO YOU WANT TO BE IS ACTUALLY WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE. AS SUCH, THINK POSITIVELY AND MAKE THE BEST OUT OF YOURSELF. 

WHAT IF IT NEVER HAPPENED? WHAT IF I DECIDED TO DO IT? WHAT IF I GO? WHAT IF I DIDN'T ASKED? WHAT IF IT HAPPENED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER? WHAT IF I NEVER DID THAT? WHAT IF I NEVER SAID SO? WHAT IF IT'S NOT RIGHT SINCE THE BEGINNING? WHAT IF WE GO THAT WAY INSTEAD OF THIS WAY? WHAT IF WE HAVE NO BOUNDARIES? WHAT IF IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS?

TWO STORIES I'VE READ TODAY..

 

เพิ่งได้อ่านข่าวการแถลงข่าวลาออกจากการเป็นพิธีกรทางทีวีทุกรายการของน้าเน็ค เกตุเสพย์สวัสดิ์ ปาลกะวงศ์ ณ อยุธยา ใจความสำคัญน้าเน็คบอกว่า เป็นคนทำทีวีที่ไม่เคยมีโอกาสได้ดูทีวีเลย ก็เลยขอหยุดเพื่อมีเวลาใคร่ครวญ มีเวลาเติมเต็มอะไรให้ชีวิตหน่อย เผื่อจะคิดออกและเป็นพิธีกรให้มันได้ดีกว่าที่เป็นอยู่ เพราะที่เป็นอยู่คือคิดว่าคงทำไม่ได้ดีไปกว่านี้แล้ว แต่งานด้านอื่น เช่น พิธีกรอีเว้นท์ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่ใหม่ทุกวัน ยังทำต่อไปปกติ แต่ขอหยุดการเป็นพิธีกรหน้าจอซึ่งทำมาครบ 10 ปีพอดีก่อน

 

ONTO ANOTHER STORY, I JUST READ AN INTERVIEW WITH JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. WHEN HE WAS ASKED ABOUT WHY HE PAUSED HIS ACTING CAREER TO GO TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, HE SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE SMARTEST THINGS HE'S EVEN DONE IN LIFE. HE SAID ANYONE AT THAT AGE NEEDS TO MOVE AWAY FROM HOME AND REINVENT HIMSELF.

 

 

HOW'S THESE STORIES MAKE YOU FEEL?

I FINALLY SUCCUMBED TO A DESIRE TO  BUY SOMETHING FROM THOSE FASHION LUXURY HOUSES. AND I AM GLAD THAT THIS ITEM WHICH IS ONLY A SECOND LUXURY ITEM IN MY LIFE IS FROM BELGIAN-BASED BRAND MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA. (THE FIRST WAS ALSO FROM A BELGIAN BRAND NAMED DRIES VAN NOTEN, BY THE WAY.) I HAVE NOTHING BUT PURELY ADMIRATION TO THE BELGIAN DESIGNERS WHO ESTABLISHED THE BRANDS AND I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE A PURCHASE, LET ALONE BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THEM.

 

MR.MARTIN MARGIELA WHO HAVE NEVER SHOWN HIS FIRST TO PUBLIC HAS LEFT HIS EPONYMOUS BRAND LONG TIME AGO. BUT THE ESSENCE OF HIS BRAND CONTINUES TO LIVE ON UNTIL TODAY. THAT IS WHY I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT PURCHASING AN ITEM FROM THIS BRAND EVEN IF HE'S NOT THERE ANYMORE. AS FOR DRIES VAN NOTEN, I ALWAYS THINK I WILL ONE DAY OWN ONE OF HIS CLOTHING DESIGNS EVEN IF I STILL THINK I CAN NEVER AFFORD IT OR NEVER HAVE GUTS TO BUY IT. COS EVERY TIME I WATCHED HIS MEN'S SHOW, THERE'RE TONS OF THINGS I LIKE. AND I LIKE THEM FOR ONE SINGLE REASON: THE CREATIVITY SHOWN BRIGHTLY OUT OF EACH PIECE.

 

ALTHOUGH THE SIMPLER REASON WHY I BOUGHT THESE ITEMS WOULD BE JUST 'I LIKE IT.' THAT'S ALL.

TIME ALWAYS PASSES BY FAST. WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT MUCH, IT HAPPENS THAT WE HAVE ALREADY LIVED IN THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR 2012, A YEAR SO MANY PEOPLE SUSPECT IT WILL BE THE END OF THE EARTH. I DON'T BELIEVE THE WORLD WILL COME TO AN END THIS YEAR. I JUST BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO SUFFER MORE FROM NATURAL DISASTER WHICH WILL BE GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER EVERY YEAR AND IN ANY PLACE THAT SOMEONE WOULD BELIEVE IT'D BE THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH TO HAVE THAT KINDA THING HAPPEN. 

 

ONTO MY PERSONAL THING, I AM CURRENTLY IN NEED OF A NEW CAMERA. I THINK I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING NEW ONE FOR A LONG TIME BUT NOW THAT FEELING IS SO STRONG. AND I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH TAKING PICTURES OF PEOPLE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW SO I THINK IT'S BEST TO HAVE BEST EQUIPMENT BY MY SIDE. I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE SAID IF YOU, A PHOTOGRAPHER, ARE GOOD ENOUGH, ANY CAMERA WILL DO YOU GREAT. FOR ME, I SAY IF THE NATURAL LIGHT IS GREAT, ANY CAMERA WILL POSSIBLY DO. AND FOR ME, ALL I HAVE IS VISION ABOUT HOW I WANT A PICTURE LOOK LIKE. BETTER CAMERA WOULD HELP ME DELIVER THAT VISION IN A GREATER MORE-TALENTED WAY. 

 

SPEAKING OF TAKING GOOD PICTURES, IT SHOULD COME WITH GREAT VIEW TOO, EH? THIS APRIL I'M PLANNING TO TAKE A TRIP TO SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER BEEN TO BEFORE. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT ITALY A LOT SINCE BEFORE LAST YEAR'S END. THEN, THE PLAN HAS CHANGED. THE PEOPLE WHOM I THOUGHT WOULD TAKE A TRIP WITH ME HAS CHANGED. AND THEN MY MIND HAS CHANGED TOO. I WILL VISIT ITALY ONE DAY I KNOW. BUT I THINK IT'S NOT THIS YEAR. BUT HEY, WHO KNOWS I MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND AGAIN LATER THIS YEAR COS I DID NOT MAKE UP MY MIND 100% YET ABOUT THE PLACE I THINK I'M GOING THIS APRIL. WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
