Hey guys, time to make a new post.
I got back to Chiang Mai, Thailand last December. There was a high school reunion party where all of us who lost their way for 10 full years gathered, drink and talk.
If you track down my Picasa web album, you will see how I have changed. Well, somebody at the party does not remember me (at all, in one worst case). Nice to see you guys there and keep up a good work.
I have also visited Pai, a nice little town surrounded by mountains. Bangkokians (same way we use Parisian) were fascinated by its climate and cuty little cafes. For me, it is just "another version" of northen town which is similar to my home town. No wonder why my parents said "nothing much interesting" when they were there.

Belly update
Hey guys, long time no update wasn't me huh?
Just to put things right, my weight is down to 70.5 ~ 70.9 Kgs with 14.4 ~ 15.8 body fat percentage. Very proud to say I'm gettin thinner!! Anyway my belly is still in a long way to go (it is not as easy to flatten your belly)
Anyway, I was wearing 32 inches jeans but now I am challenging 29 inches one !!
Here is 140$ Japanese bell bottom jeans, just love it. I am the one who not dare to wear narrow/skinny cut since my leg is big (if you ran 3 days a week with 70 kgs body, you may have that leg I guess)

BMI update
It's been a while I am leaving this Blog with no updated.
I used around 9000 yen of my bic camera point for this body-scan scale. Incredibly, it can scan your body fat percentage (skin fat and inner fat).
Last 2 posts I reported my weight and it was 75. Now I am around 73.8 ~ 74.4 kgs with BMI 23.8 and 17% body fat.
My goal is to have only 1 digit body fat percentage and below BMI 22, hopefully

Weight Update
I was a bit happy after I knew my weight. To keep a record, just wanna put it here
May 23, 2008 : 75 Kilograms (165 lbs), and note that I am 178 cm (5' 11") tall
I think I was around 80 last winter (3-4 months ago), happy that my exercise did work!!
from this link http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/height_weight.shtml
I found that I should weight 160 lbs (or 2.5 kgs less than my current weight). If I just took of my clothes it would be around that point, I guess.
For the Body Mass Index (BMI) i got 23.724 where 18.5 – 24.9 is normal, I found myself a bit happy now after a big fat burning and low carb festival. But ... wait, that was not a reference for Asians !! By checking another website I am still overweight !!
[Quote] "The range for acceptable, normal, or optimum body-mass index (BMI) for Asian populations should be narrowed to 18.5-23 kg/m2, according to a WHO expert consultation on appropriate BMI for these populations that took place on July 8-11 in Singapore"
By simply calculated: Weight / Height^2. My BMI is 23.671. OMG!! more 3 kilos to go !!
Farewell to potato chips and beer !!

Japanese Insurance
Hell yeah !! let's change from the calm and relax post to more "serious" talk. Well, this is my PURE opinion and I don't mean to offense anyone of you.
"Who will pay for you when you were sick??", yes seriously. For example, kids will get paid by their parent. Adults pay by themselves. What about elderlies? If they don't have any help from their children, the only source they can rely on is nothing but health insurance I guess.
It is very clear that the "health service" in each country are different. In Japan, as I wrote, you have to pay around 900 - 3000 yen (depends on your income status) in order to join the health insurance system. (It is said that) The system will cover 80% of fees and charges at clinic and hospital you visit and most of the people are using this system (so the government can get really huge amount of money each month, I guess). The people who enjoy most profit are, of course, oldies. Because they can not work, they pay less insurance charge, and they get into the hospital often.
Recently in Japan, there is a problem on delivering the new "Health Insurance Card " to some people occurred. And some can not use their right at any health service. There are a group who considered that the new system is designed to abandon the elderlies (Right, the most unprofitable). It ends up with old people demo in front of the government building !! can you believe this !!
Japanese media (I would like to call them BASTARDs !!) are beginning to load all protesters "clips" to provoke people. The word like "This means you'd like us to die quickly" come up many time as I can see on TV. In my opinion, it might be that the natural of Japanese is that they think more than they talk. So the word that come out from their mouth is considerably "very concentrated" and might lead to the other implications.
From this point of view, it let me think about Japanese society at the whole (compare to Thailand). Japanese men are working hard, always back home at 9 pm or later. Women's duty is to take care of the house, cleaning, raising children. I think they are probably very busy as they do not have much time to look back their own family. What about their parents?? Unfortunately they have to take care themselves!!
Around Tokyo, I can see oldsters walking around or even working. They have to take care themselves for the most of time. Oh .. and don't think that they die fast, Japanese have the longest average life expectancy in the world. In smaller picture, youngsters work, pay tax but oldies have their pension, as they work hard through out their life. Some might consider that old people are cheating on worker ages. But just think about this, Japanese who is in their 60 - 80s lived the hardest condition in the post-war era and you can see how Japan develop revive from ashes. They might indeed have to rest.
If I were a young Japanese boy, I would be very confusing with such kind of problem like this. The main reason is that "I can not feel what those old chaps are feeling". They lived in pain but ... is there something to do about me?? This might answer the question why Japanese kids hate their parent very easily. They don't have time to take care of anything!! just work and sleep like machines!!
I don't know how to give the right solution for this. The fist thing that came up in my mind was "okay people ... just stop working too much ... give more time to your family and parents". In Thailand, work end at 6 pm and that's it. You can get back, have a nice meal with your children and have a good talk.
I have very negative feeling about Japanese family, I think work and stress are ruining their family relationship. What do you think? please leave me some comment.

My all time favourite song
Here is again, my favorite song of all time.
The theme is about "What ever you were, I will always love you" and that's it. If your partner was a hooker, will you love her ?? That's is what the video is telling.
This song also being used as OST in "Bedside Detective" a Thai drama comedy movie. The story was about a love affair detective and a very cute kept woman. No more words, here we go
You don't have to say, How your days (Wun) were
ไม่ต้องบอกฉัน ถึงวันที่เลยผ่าน
You don't have to tell me (Chun), About whom ever you were with
ไม่ต้องบอกฉัน ว่าเคยมีใครคนไหนยังไง
If I have missed (Ploei), If I asked you
ถ้าเผื่อเผลอ บังเอิญฉันถามเธอ
You do not have to answer (Tob) me at all
เธอก็ไม่ต้องตอบฉันเลย
Me (Chun), this person, also has mistakes
และฉันคนนี้ ก็มีที่พลาดผิด
I am not a person who always have a perfect life (Che-wit)
ใช่ว่าชีวิตจะดีจะงามสักเท่าไหร่
I am also don't want to be asked (Taam), It just nothing
ไม่อยากให้ถาม มันไม่น่ารู้เท่าไหร่
It is not important (Jum-pen) for us
ไม่ใช่เรื่องจำเป็นของเรา
[Part-A]
Yesterdays (Wun-waan) cannot be returned, and, we don't know what it will be tomorrow (Wan-prung-nee)
วันวานมันคืนย้อนมาไม่ได้ และวันพรุ่งนี้ยังไม่รู้
But I am ready (Prom), to be here, to die for our love (Ruk)
แต่ฉันพร้อมจะอยู่ ฉันพร้อมจะตายเพื่อรักคนเดียว
[End Part-A]
[Part-B]
Who every you (Ther) were, what every you faced (Paan)
ไม่ว่าเธอจะเคยเป็นใคร จะผ่านอะไรมา
Don't worry (Gung-won) about your past, I all am yours
ขอจงอย่าเป็นกังวล นี่คือคนของเธอ
Whatever will happen from now, I will take care (Duu-lae) of you
ไม่ว่ามันจะเกิดอะไร ต่อจากนี้ไป ฉันจะอยู่ดูแลเธอ
With love (Ruk) and with my heart (Jai)
ด้วยคำว่ารักด้วยใจ
[End Part-B]
You don't have to say, How your days (Wun) were
ไม่ต้องบอกฉัน ถึงวันที่เลยผ่าน
You don't have to tell me (Chun), About whom ever you were with
ไม่ต้องบอกฉัน ว่าเคยมีใครคนไหนยังไง
Just tell me you love me, at ease (Ngai Ngai)
แค่บอกว่ารัก แค่เธอรักฉันง่าย ๆ
I just want your heart (Jai) to be mine
ฉันต้องการแค่ใจของเธอ
[Repeat-A] [Repeat-B+C] [Repeat-B+D]
[Part-C]
I will love (Ruk) only you
จะรักเพียงเธอ
[Part-D]
I will always be beside (Kiang-kang) you
ฉันจะอยู่เคียงข้างเธอ
and always be your love forever (Ta-lod-pai)
เป็นคนรักเธอตลอดไป
