So many times when our thoughts come to dead ends, our minds are full of darkness.
And so many times when we let our mind journey into the darkness,
Our thoughts shape and form amazingly.
In the dark our imagination never stops.
The dark surrounds us when we are thinking alone and brings the light off
Imagination shining to any places where our open minds appears.
The process of open mind takes time similar to entering from a bright place to a glimmer one.
In the first three steps, we barely see.
Everything is dark.
But finally,
after our visions accept darkness and have become parts of it, we gradually see.
Details emerge.
At the end, a glimmer and lonely place becomes playful as far as our imagination could go.
Unlimited imagination has introduced humankind to technology.
And again, technology keeps repelling the boundary further.

From the going down ride plus the attempt of shaking away my frustration, there seem to be many things eager to escape of me. I let my mind play around here and there for the sake of finding where to rest.

The regular rider on BTS (BKK skytrain), pack in the morning, this note to all the rider.

Finding something to not bring your work to your mind before hitting the office, i manage to this fun ride to work.
Try this...
According to good gal, wiki..
In Thai tradition, there is an astrological rule (which has influence from Hindu mythology) that assigns color for each day of the week. The color is assigned based on the color of the God who protects the day or Navagraha.
Sunday is red for the SUN.
Moon comes next for Yellow on Monday.
As they said Real MAN wears PINK so it is for Mar on Tuesday.
Go Green for Wednesday on Mercury.
Jupiter gets Orange for Thursday.
For most guy's favorite color goes Blue for Venus on Friday.
Purple for Friday goes for Saturn.

Well, since the time of King Rama V Thai people loves to wear the shirt, dress according to the color of the day.
Back there, the beautiful one is to dress color contradict to one another. On monday to wear yellow top and green bottom, or Pink & purple for tuesday.
So the fun thing to do is to spot those color of the day.
Monday will be easy though as everyone wears yellow to celebrate our King Rama IX's birthday.
So you can try to see the fashion of yellow there.

Tuesday is one of my favorite.
As GUT got his t-shirt said 'Real Boy Wears Pink', i do believe it that since.
It is truly lovely day of the week when you can see pink everywhere.
A lot of pink or a bit of pink here and there.
Pink shirt, blouse, dress, tie, belt, shoes or even little as the color of the nail.
I just think that seeing pink sock or pink tie on a guy normal working dress just so cute that bright up the smile on my face.

Now i got one of my Aussie mate to join this fun.
Try it yourself then.
Especially if you are wearing the color of the day as well, you just find the same with you.
Or if you wear different color, try to spot the one that wear the same color as you are but on the different day then.

Share if it does make your morning more sunshine to brighten your smile.

Life likes a roller coster i may say..
It gives you the trill of going up and just right next second you got your down.
Couple weeks that i have been on the ride here.
As repeated many times as i may here, i am against the feeling of getting use to the thing that you don't enjoy just because that is what the way it is.
It it ain't do any good, change it. No matter how hard or how long will it take.

I encounter the spot that i wish not to be in and never get use to it in my work place.
Politic!
As much the sky tries to ease the heat of the politics in my country, it still spreads out like the bad disease into my bubble.
There is the task given. It's filled with the more than 100% of my energy as my first task. Excitement, Joy and tiredness.
Then there is (was) hope. To be able to visit the unknown and at the same time one love of your life.
Epinephrine pushes my endorphin super high.
Then, BAM!!!
I was knocked out my the saying of 'You understand me, yeah?" Are you okay?'
My reaction with anger and my almost-tear-drop smile 'it ain't okay'
In the professional side is the disappointment of not be able to be there to help getting the voice of youth out and help make it be heard.
Just only hope that it ain't gonna be that bad for the kids to enjoy the 2,000+ delegates with my boss and my boss' boss.

Besides that.. is just
Like the little kid that was given the promise for the present that she always wishes for, then got taken away.
It aint' okay, i repeated.
Anger rushes in.
Disappointment invades.
Unable to let go the frustration, but trying (so hard)
Bottom-line, no more Brazil, no more fingers and toes crossed for Rob and Me.
Too bad dear.
Just too bad.

Still trying to shake it out of my head.

Good week for the good start of the month, i have to say here.
Try my best to lay my feet on the ground to face the reality of life here.
Thanks for all encourage and wisdom.

Try this when you wake up, put this on the mind..
'Waking up this morning, I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment an to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.'

Look up to the blue sky.
Put smile on your face.
Begins the day beautifully.
It does help to make your day great.
I am doing this.
I have more energy.
I smile to more people.
It does feel good.
Try it yourself!

Smile, You are Alive!
