The Tudors VS The Other Boleyn Girl

Hey guys,

Long time I haven't update this blog. Few days ago, I have a chance to watch series called "The Tudors" and movie called "The other boleyn girl". Both of them are about King Henry VIII. However, the tudors focus on King Henry VIII, religious and politic; well including some explicit sex scenes. For the other boleyn girl, it focus more on sister relationship, sort of soap opera.

Anyway, one thing that both of them have is entertaining audiance. I love both of them. If you like period movie or English history, you gonna love it. Both of them may not as accurate as history but I can confirm that you will like it. Go watch them soon and let's me know what you think.

Enjoy

Result of American Idol Season 7

Hey there,

I haven't update this blog for a while. Today I will update the news from American Idol. The result of the winner makes me very upset. It was David Cook who beat David Archuleta in the end. But is it surprised me? Actually, no. It was what I expected. I'm pretty sure if this singing contest were in some country in Europe, like X factor or other idols, or Asia, David Archuleta would win easily and David Cooks may not even make the final. However, this is American Idol. Seriously but true, there are a lot of artists from America who are very popular around the world. However, the winners of American Idol, besides Kelly Clarkson, were not quite good in the world music (Carrie Underwood is very popular in America but not anywhere else), while the artists from X factor, like Shayne Ward and Leona Lewis, do very well in the world music. Therefore, there is no exception in this season. From my opinion, I just think people from different country just have difference taste in music. Also, this is just my opinion, no offend to others. So, from now on, time will tell. Just wish you the best for your music career, David Archuleta.

Talk soon.

Songkran : Water festival

Hey there,

About less than a week, in thailand there will be a water festival called Songkran again. Actually, this water festival is also a Thailand New Year, from 13th April - 15th April every year.

What we normally do for this festival?

1. Go to the temple and give food to the monk.

2. Visitting grandparents and relatives

3. Throwing water to each other ( because Thai people believe that water will take away your bad luck plus April is the hottest month in Thailand)

Where should we go for water festival?

1. Bangkok (Khaosan road, Silom road) --> fun, lots of water wars, but crownded

2. Chiang Mai --> fun, crownded, but also have a beautiful thai style parade

3. Sukhothai --> beautiful, thai style, many people but not too crownded

Actually, there are many places like on the beach that you can also enjoy. Just go and have fun.

Enjoy Thai summer, enjoy Songkran.

Talk more soon.

Travel Recommend : Koh Samui (Samui Island), Thailand : Tropical Garden Lounge

Hey there,

If you have time for holiday and feel like to go to relax on the beach, at the same time also want to stay in a beautiful tropical garden, I would recommend you the beautiful tropical island, Koh Samui. Not just beautiful, there are a lot of activities to enjoy like hiking, diving, or even clubing. If you decide to visit Samui Island, I think the nicest place to stay is "Tropical Garden Lounge". Why? because the place is surrounding with beautiful tropical garden with swimming pool, not far from the beach, comfortable, and reasonable price. It is located in Mae Nam beach, Koh Samui. Just come and try, then you will like this place like I do. Visit http://www.tropicalgardenlounge.com/ for more information.

Talk more later, enjoy summer, enjoy holiday and have fun.

One to Watch : American Idol Season 7 "DAVID ARCHULETA"

Hey guys,
I just have a chance to watch American Idol in this season for the first time, lucky me, finally. At the moment, it is a semifinal round for the last 24, 12 guys and 12 girls. Just 1 of those people that I can feel “Wow, he is different”. He has a nice, smooth and powerful voice. He is young (maybe too young can be a disadvantage for him though) and has talent. His name is “David Archuleta”. I’m sure that if this is an X-Factor (England Version) or The Star (Thailand Version), he will go very far more than top3. Anyway, this is American Idol. More difficult to predict but at least I think he can make it to top 10 (hopefully). However, keep your eyes on him and I’ll let you know the result later.
Talk soon and take care

Track Recommend : Bleeding Love

"Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love

Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open"

Hey guys,

I hope you guys already listen to that chorus before. If not, you need to listen to it soon. Today I wanna recommend one song. This song is called "Bleeding Love" sung by Leona Lewis, the winner of X-Factor season3, and written by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney. Yes, this song may come from pop manufacturer like X-factor, but this is a great contemporary R&B ballad song. Also, Leona's voice is very soulful, emotionally, and touching. Lyric is very deep. If you have a heart-break before, you will easily cry. Anyway, this song reaches number1 in many countries in Europe, including UK, and Australia. Just listen to it, then you will love this song like I do.

Write more soon.
