Express check-out

Haven't been written anything for quite sometimes, have been so busy. Busy work is better than no work.

Recently had several business trips and stayed in several different hotels.

The express check-out system gives me a deep impression. There's no need to queue up

long, just fill in the form and drop into the box hotel has prepared.

The problem is the actual amount that has been charged is greater than the amount I booked shown on the webside. Knowing the amount has been deducted as I went through the online credit card statement but without a detail billing statement, just US$400 some US dollars got deducted.

I already sent email to the hotel asking for an invoice.

If the hotel just deduct and even more than the figure that was expected to everyone, will people satisfy and choose to stay again?

Motivation

Heard a friend saying, the very first thing comes into his head is the motivation when anyone talked to him.
He would begin to assume many things in his head.

I don't know if it's a good thing to give assumption toward someone, because meditation taught us not to assume when issue has not arrived not.

He must be a smart person so that his brain could function very fast to assume during conversation. I can't do it.
When someone talks to me, all I could is to listen with concentration.
I will make sure the speaker finishes all his lines. It won't be so nice if I assume and conclude wrong thinking by just taking part of the lines.

Meditation taught us to accept, face, process, and put down, while we should not suppose or assume first.

For someone who is not smart like me, still I can't learn how to think and assume by first talking.

A good medicine tastes bitter.

This water reflection photo was captured in a golf court corner. A very small corner but I think it looks gorgeous when my car was about to pass by.

I love the reflected landscape. When I was a kid, my grandmom often told me that we are reflected by others.

People always like to hear nice words, meanwhile refuse to listen to the words pointing out their shortcomings. Moreover, some people refuse to confess their shortcomings.

I like to give compliments to people. Those are not sweet words, but to those merits that are obviously seen and need to be encouraged. I think everyone has flaw as well as distinct strength.

Not many people prefer to give compliments. Some people think giving compliments would reflect their own inadequacy. Some people jealous the strength they lack. I believe people will get improved and a step closer to the better goal when they hear compliments.

One of my team members always made mistake on whatever she did since she always made the fastest move and always wanted to be the first one who finished the task. It happened to be the outcome has bad result more often the the good result. When everyone got upset on her, I told her that her ability always reached out the fastest, somehow should leave the chance for others sometimes. She only listened to the part where she did fast job, thus she happily saves the chance for others to be the first doer. After she slows down her speed, the jobs assigned to her all went right.

Seeing others well signal ourselves.

Salmon roe

Different ikura put on small pancakes.

Salmon roe, large reddish-orange individual spheres.

Sushi is rapped by ikura.

Took lots of seafoods recently, I like seafood. Salmon is the fish that I often eat, which is good for healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon is also a source of cholesterol, with a range of 23–214 mg/100g depending on the species full of protein and omega-3.

I like to eat ikura with rice, otherwise it would be too salty for me.

Enterprise's physiognomy

Although there's an old saying, "You cannot judge a book by its cover"; however, when companies interview, inevitably they take by appearance. Not necessarily to look for attractive men and women, at least they want to find someone pleases their eyes and looks lucky. Thus, physiognomy gradually becomes a way during companies' employee elections.

Nowadays enterprises can get to know more about employees by getting professional in physiognomy.

Heard a successful business man said he used to interview a very nice attitude person. The interviewee always looks straight into people's eyes. However, when the interviewer walked away and turned back in a sudden, the interviewee's eyes were exploring around. Such action shows the interviewee is a double face person, who complies in public but will oppose in private, and such person can't be relied and trust.

Many tiny actions shows the real person, which no way can pretend and hide.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers

Today's Mother's Day. Two weeks ago I dreamed about my mother. In my dream, I complained her a little why she doesn't come back home, then I saw her back home with a not so old looking. At that moment, I missed her so much, I hugged her and then I cried. Rarely I remember my dream, but I've been remembering this dream till now.

Wish all the mothers happy and healthy. Wish all the mothers love themselves a bit more.

Friendship doesn't mean only with gift they are friend.

There are many types of friends. Some friendships are based on the compliments we give to them, who only listen to compliments.

Some friendships are based on when they are lonely, and they talk to you. Such people love to make friends, their phones are 24-hours on, their website, email, gtalk, msn, skype are shown everywhere.

He is neither a salesman nor marketer.

Some friends cannot accept better friends to be around.

Some friends have more opposite sex friends they communicate to.

Some friends rarely thank people, they just tell others what skills they have, even males said they can make noodles and do handicrafts. In their eyes, they can do everything women can do except getting pregnant for 9 months.

I have a friend S who I've known for many years. Starting from solar energy turbine and green energy.

He never showed off about his expertise, he was never moody, whenever I have

solar energy knowledge to consult with him, he is always there. He shares his own happiness and unhappiness.

At same time, he concerns about my family and I. Even though we don't talk through gtalk nor msn as he's a senior manager who has many busy projects, and I also have many business trips, everyday we say good morning and good night to each other.

The privity and tacit understanding between us show when I disappeared from good night greeting. He guessed that I was away in Europe and flights stopped. I really appreciate this friend S. Having the friend with such care, without extra sweet words, without competing purpose for benefits, is really great.

Friends don't mean the more the better.

Friendship doesn't mean only with gift they are friend.

I like to express my appreciation toward this friend S.

Even Homer sometimes nods!

Before we do something, it's good to consider well, but thinking too much while all were own assumption could annoy other people.

Recently someone told me, he is a hesitating person. I wonder with such personality, how could he work efficiently without wasting time. Even Homer sometimes nods! He could have done the trip twenty times or more. He should know every inch of the road. It would hardly believe it, but he took a wrong turn and lost himself.
Today I captured this mango pudding. Once I really fond of mango and pudding, in the past a friend gave me lots of mangoes in that year. I couldn't finish all mangoes, so I made mangoes into various forms...mango juice, mango tart, mango pudding, mango salad, mango cake, and I gave away to friends. I had so many mangoes that year, and since then I don't feel that much exciting when I see mangoes. Another way to eat mango is to eat when it's still green. The hard green mango seems to have lots of fibers, besides it's not that sweet. I like unsweetened fruit, which would not make me fat.

Say good words, do good things.

Best wishes to the one who was borned today, my dearest.

Bring our happiest moment to others, say good words, do good things, then we will not feel and perplex by many entanglements in this world.

Some people go to church, some people go to temple, these places are for ourselves improvements, but people still even argue when they gather. If everybody could see the good points of another, encourage the merits of another, while not only focus on what others have harmed us, don't put ourselves in the first place, we will be happier and the places around us will be more beautiful.

LPGA 2010 Thailand

LPGA kicks off 2010 season opening Honda-PTT LPGA tournament at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi.

Thailand by the world's best lady professional golfers.
LPGA tour has made Thailand debut. Thailand has welcomed the LPGA in a big way, local media interviewed golfers at the airport, and billboards lined those Pattaya streets.

Together with my family and friends, I also went to watch this big event.

Out of 4 days, we stayed in 3 different hotels, Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Centara Mirage Beach Resort, and Sheraton Pattaya, due to their full occupancy.

Golf is my favorite sport because I could see big field covered by green grasses and trees, where doesn't limit myself in a narrow noisy space.

Japan’s professional golfer Ai Miyazato has produced a whirlwind finish to win this Honda PTT LPGA Thailand event, the first one of the LPGA season. Ai Miyazato is now 24 years old and secured her a one shot victory over long time leader Suzann Pettersen.

Suzann Pettersen, 2007 champion from Siam Country Club, Old Course, eagled the final hole to edge out England’s Laura Davies by a narrow one shot margin.

Other top players in the field included Yani Tseng (Taiwan), Cristie Kerr, Lorena Ochoa, Paula Creamer, Michelle Wie and Na Yeon Choi.

Karrie Webb and Cristie Kerr finished in a share of 4th one shot behind third placed Yani Tseng.

Lorena Ochoa won the 2009 champion in Siam Country Club, Plantation Course.

After LPGA Thailand 2010, these top golfers except Paula Creamer, have moved to Singapore for their next tournament, HSBC Women’s Champions event.

Best wishes to those world's best lady professional golfers.

Whatever we want to say

It's a great joy that Sandra Bullock won this 2010 Golden Globe Awards by her movie "The Blind Side" which has been one of my most favorites. Having watched this movie several times, I'm very impressed. Since her movie "While You Were Sleeping", I like her warm and natural performance.

Attended two weddings on the 10th of Jan, both are rich businessmen. I sincerely wish them! Sitting together with a director from a big enterprise. He said something which made the wedding less colorful as he said the groom used to be his staff, and the groom is an unsocial person who only does what he likes and only accepts compliments which may not be real at all times, and the groom is only helpful to girls. This is what the ex-boss of the groom said. As I know, groom's ex-boss is a good friend with bride's father. This made me to recall what another director said that his human resource manager is often on Facebook and Twitter to look around what their employees have written.
Internet progresses day by day, whatever we want to say, we can post it on the Internet and find someone to chat immediately, and it's because of such speedy convenience which might leave a bad trace.

I asked myself if I could do the same

Happy New Year 2010.

A year just passed and a new year has just begun. I'm really thankful to everything, everything is safe, and thankful to all the supports from my surrounding friends and clients from past years.

The most impressive in my memory across last year to new year, The Blind Side, based on a true story. The most memorable part is when Leigh Anne Touhy happened to meet Michael Oher late in the night, who is black, without friends in school, and received low GPA. Leigh Anne Touhy knows Michael has nowhere to go since she saw him walking alone, she insisted to take him back to her house before Thanksgiving. Leigh Anne Touhy kept Michael and celebrated Thanksgiving together with her family. Without caring other people's different opinions, finally Leigh Anne Touhy adopted Michael, trained him to play football, and eventually Michael became a famous football player.

I asked myself if I could do the same, in the late at night to take a homeless person back to my house. Even though I know he's a school student, still most people would suspect this homeless person's personality. This movie made me wanna cry every time after watching and repeatedly recalled often.

Really love each other, they shouldn't break up.

From the recent disaster film 2012 to the past romantic comedy during holiday seasons, it's hard to persuade myself to watch such disaster movies. There's another movie "500 days of summer", I watched the beginning 5 minutes, perhaps it was too late in the night or the movie itself couldn't attract my attention. I just don't like people keep thinking of her/his ex-lover after they break up.
If they really love each other, they shouldn't break up. If they already break up, they shouldn't feel that they can't live without the other. Some people like to have their new lover to know that they are still in love with their ex-lover in order to show they are nice people. A man likes to have many women to show how attractive he is, but in fact it only shows how unstable he is. I don't mean to complain any man, I've never been played by any man, and it's already very nice of me if I don't leave him. I like the man who stands by his words.
The first Xmas gifts I receive this year are the dolls from Hungary, beers and chocolates from Belgium. When I get time, I will take photos.

I have a reason that I must alive and go back

"I have a reason that I must alive and go back." This sentence is really touching my heart. Rarely I rarely remember any drama actor's line with deep impression, and I rarely get impressed from watching Korean drama except "Lovers in Paris". A few days ago I watched "Iris", the actor was backstabbing and seriously injured. He asked for the help from his team, but the team leader intendedly not to provide him any help but to give up, thus the actor said, ""I have a reason that I must alive and go back."

It's been a long time since I left my hometown. During every new year, the best time and the best reason always lead me to think that I should go back. For a person who wants to return home or has been away from home, this sentence "I must alive and go back", I should not be the only one who has feeling after hearing it.

The OST of Iris matches perfectly at perfect time with the plot. This song makes me to recall another song by Jay Chou "Hard to Say".

These 3 food photos and food are my favorite recently taken.

Haven't spent time in writing my blog for one month. There are many things I want to say, but eventually I'd like to keep only good memory.

Proposal

Cosmos has been my favorits flowers, I like to capture it under the sun.

Tonight watched a movie "Proposal". It's been a long time that I gave up to Hollywood's movie since they are often made up by computer technology.

Since Sandra's movie "While you were sleeping", "Lake House", and this "Proposal", she plays a wonderful role in such romantic comedy. Only knew she got married and gave birth to a twin, but she still maintains beautiful body shape.

Tomorrow is weekend, and I am having good mood because of this movie "Proposal".

Captain Abu Raed

Monday is always blue, I expect to change this blue following my mood to welcome the day...Monday Blue - berry ^^

This Jordanian film "Captain Abu Raed" has been the movie that I eager to watch for long. It was nominated as the Best Foreign Language Film in Academy Award 2009, and both the actor Nadim Sawalha and actress Rana Sultan perform well.

From this movie, we see the sincerity of human from simple narration while it attracts the audience to continue watching.

Everyone has dreams. This movie presents the insistence of holding on the the dream.

9-9-09

Today is 9-9-09, signals the most auspicious date for progress, what we expect? For everything we have missed, we have gained something else, and for everything we gain, we lose something else, What we are comes to ourself.

I love these words : Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."
Must be confidence under whatever situation!

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things

Yellow cherry tomatoes were found on the market, light fragrance as honey. I'd like to capture the fresh appearance of the fruits before I eat them up.
Without appropriate bowl and vintage tone table often make me hesitating when I was about to take photos for them.
Am I considering too much!!! :)

Every time when I meet spine orthopedist, doctor always joked me that my handbag is like Doraemon's magic bag, no matter the bag I held is D&G, Guess, TOD's...In doctor's eyes, I carried all the necessary things inside my bag which turned out to be a magic bag.

The first time I heard he described my handbag as Doraemon's magic bag, I was confused and wondering if that is the Japanese animation. I only knew there was the cartoon Doraemon, but had no idea what the animation is about.

Yesterday I changed to a little handbag, still he said it's a Doraemon bag. Perhaps it is true, inside the handbag there are house keys, car keys, cellphone, etc.; however, everything inside is still very neat, range from big bag to small bag, everything is in its place where it supposed to be. There were physiotherapists used to say my handbag is very heavy when she moved my bag. I think I should change my leather handbags to other brands like Kipling, or Balenciaga's small one.
When I travel, I like Kipling, it is lightweight and waterproof.

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things, there are worries from near to far. Ok, let me start by reducing my bag weight. We need to lose something in order to gain something.

Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase ?

It's been very hot this year, gorgeous sun shines everyday. Hearsay the place having sunshine reduces depression disorder. I do like sunshine, especially when the sun shines into the room, feel the sun is killing bacteria.
I haven't tasted any ice cream this year yet. Last year I coughed and doctor told me ice cream would make my bronchitis sticky. Those raspberries and berries were planned to put on ice cream and eat together, till then got to eat with yoghurt.

Yesterday morning I received a very funny email from my best friend S, which the subject title is "Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase". Let's read this mail :)

Don't tell others you're going for a trip

Recently cherry price reduced, self bought a lot as well as friends gave me. I've been eating quite a lot, 1 lb a day since breakfast to dinner...:)love cherries because of their colors. My friends said many colors can be found in each of my photo. Indeed, everything appears in front of our eyes does have its color.

Yesterday heard an interesting thing, which when you have the plan of which day leaving for a trip, it's better not to show off around on twitter, facebook, and blogs, to avoid your house turns out empty or get something stolen after you come back from holiday.
