What's The Different !

I am here in Sweden about three and a half weeks. The weather is getting cooler and beginning of fall. Its a little bit hard to start because i have lots of thing in my head. Now the sun rise and set its abit different then last three weeks, Now sun rise is about 5 am and set about 7 30 pm but still bright until 9 pm. As i told you i live in Bromma Stockholm far from the city about 9 k and the house where i live with the host family is located near the big lake and hill. The transportation is great here my house its just 3 minute away from station, I normally walk there to get in to the train almost everyday to go to town for meet friends and do some shopping.

life here is safe my house its pretty quiet even in the day time, we don't need to buy water we drink from the pipe in the beginning made me feel abit strange but now my mind use to it. When i am going out i always have my water bottle with me if you buy at the supermarket or seven eleven its quiet expensive better to buy Coca Cola. On the way to go to the station there have an apples tree and red wine berry what's the best fruits i love here. I walk pass the old lady house and pick the red wine berry almost everyday its very good sour but great. Sometime i ride my bicycle to see around and i can see what's the different and what is interesting in this country.

Here where i live have got many play ground for the kids, beaches, forest, peoples on the way they're nice smile and say hi to me. They're speak very good English and i also learn how to speak Swedish by listen peoples talk, listen to the kids,On the train, supermarket, On Tv, Redio they're will say the same thing over and over and that the easy way for me to learn everyday by listen. Shopping center here in Town its open at 10 am and close at 7 pm. On Sunday is one hour earlier. I can say that everything is expensive here. If you want to eat Thai foods here i found 2 Thai shop you can get the Ingredients to cook Thai foods, we call Asian market. I love to go there.

Young peoples here are very confident when i am going to town i feel like i am in Bangkok because peoples are hurry and not look each other or even smile, They're smoke a lot. On the Stations you can see lots of cigarette stub everywhere, Young girls here they smoke lots too. wow! But good that they're not allow to smoke in the train, club,supermarket same same as in Thailand. When you walk in town you will see Asian peoples easily even Thai peoples but do not expect much that Thai peoples here they're will come to speak to you even say Hi, Nope they won't. I have no idea why they not nice but i am not sure about the answer yet. Most of Thai peoples here is quiet old adult not young and when they look at us seem like they're think what's am i doing here or where is my husband!

Actually i meet good Thai friends here, what the matter about other Thai peoples who didn't care others right? i got about 3 Thai friends to go out with, travel, we help each other and always cook and eat together, The best way to eat Thai food you just buy stuff and cook them by yourself is much cheaper!

Last three weeks i saw many thing that different then i though and keep seeing new thing everyday, The thing i have to do is just open mind and keep open eyes to see thing around. One thing i don't understand or i think too much? i don't know why when i am going out to anywhere will have girls look at me and smile at me or sometime wave hand to me, i dress up like a girl not lesbian, i feel abit strange not sure if its normal here! I got homesick sometime but i call back to Thailand every second days, I miss my mom my family, I miss Richard and Connie, i miss Tip and Bethany, They're my second Family, I miss English class, I miss to go to church with Cummins on Sunday, I miss my cat and dog, i miss my Motorbike, i miss Airport plaza, i miss my friends, okok breath deep....well its just beginning i have to be patient, just wait and see what God will bring to me for each day. Thank you guys to stop on my blog i will try to keep updating my blog. bless you, I love you!!

I wish all choices can be as easy as shopping at Tesco. But most important choices are not. You may have to deal with your own emotions, your fear, your struggles, your integrity, passion, physically. It may cause you more money, more tears, more time and patience.Today my choices is going to Sweden as i wish for a long time to be there then this choice will be easy or hard i have to accept and handle all about it.

Here's Hoping

I really 'hope' that someday I will go to travel oversea as Europe. You know, there are alot of things that I hope for in this life that I might not receive. I always toss the word 'hope' around like it means the most trivial thing. I really hope that I get invited to that party, I really hope to go to Denmark.

...Then I get disappointed.

It goes deeper as well. "I really hope I get married, maybe even before all my younger siblings do? Maybe before I turn 30?"

...Then I get disappointed.

BUT, Hope is a gift from the Almighty Father and today my Hope is working by him, I wait in expectation for over a year, patient for a long time but i never give up of hope. I get disappointed about going to oversea 2 times and i always ask him "why' over and over and today i got the answer. Who read my blog i just want to tell you that God love you and he always prepare everything for you because he know everything about you. You just have to be patient and don't give up, pray, when is the right time,

...Then you will never get disappointed.

Today i got a chance, a new opportunity to go to live in Sweden for a year. I will live in Bromma, Stockholm with a new family. This experience of living with a new family in another country will help me face new challenges and travel before i settle down with my own family in the future. My journey just beginning! Everywhere i go and everything i do Jesus he will always walk beside me.

This time this part of song is really rock me!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

All in all, I realize how much God loves me and that His love is not shown in circumstances, in earthly treasures, in dreams fulfilled, because I feel like I have none of those. But I have Christ. My treasure. He shows His mercy new every morning. His promises fulfilled that He will never leave us or forsake us. His promise that He will give us a future and a hope....and hope in Him does not disappoint...

Thanks to spending your time to read my blog, Love you all

Bromma, stockholm

Out with the old and in with the new..

I have NO idea how and why time flies by so quickly..I really try not to let it make me sad, and really just try my best. Today is my another Birthday, My day was still simple, normal as everyday. went to work came back home and get some rest, No party, No gift from friends. Specially ่ีgot gifts from my family.My mom and Cummins family, my mom cook my favorite food for dinner, Its NOODLE!!! Richard, Connie, Tip and Bethany wish early happy Birthday on facebook, That's was nice!!! This year i bought Ukalele for myself. Actually is great and i start to practicing. I love Music! Thanks for some friends who still remember my BD and sent me BD wish by sms or even on Facebook. Thanks for AIS to gave me free Unlimited call and sms LOL

(little late update at 11.20 pm) I Spent the rest of the day on my birthday at connie's house. Little party with worm in bananas!! ewww.......Tip and Bethany gave me cinnamon free sticky cookie its yummy and got a pink lunch pack from connie.. They're the best family and friend of mine! one thing i didn't get sms from anyone hahaha...

These are a few things that help me to be a happier ๋Jeapy On My Birthday****TODAY (2011)****

Outside my window...chilling my Birthday late afternoon, with bad of leftover Birds poo poo on the windows and wind blow outside.

I am thinking....First which bird use my window to be their toilet, Next year will have someone take me to dinner?, Time is too fast. Sometimes it feels like life is just passing me by.

I am thankful for... the laughter of peoples around me, the smell after a rain, my relationship with Jesus, Lemon jelly ;) I'm thankful for my mom, Richard&Connie Those who I can turn to when I have a question or need help with just about anything. It has been a wonderful and hard road to travel in life. But I've grown and learned so much. I'm learning more every day...mostly from the mistakes I make DAILY. I'm thankful for my talents which don't use as much as I should. I'm thankful for my Savior and for the opportunity I have to serve in His church.(His church for me is mean everywhere i helping peoples are his church) I feel the most like myself when I'm helping others. I have always had a strong desire for this and I hope I can do more in the coming year. I love Chiang Mai.

I am remembering... How life is so fun when i was teenager and when i was studied at Chiang Mai University.

I am going... to be entering my 30th year! Yikes!

I am currently reading... Experiencing God.

I am hoping... that I get some time to get some things done in my life. get a Visa to go to Sweden.

On my mind... there are so many different things bouncing around my head, I wouldn't know where to start...

Noticing that... this is going to be a year of spiritual and mental growth...

Pondering these words... Happy is as Happy does!

A few plans for the rest of the week... We'll going to see a Movie or take my mom going to eat Buffet this weekend . And I'm looking forward to going to D milk this weekend to try another coco drink.

One of my favorite things... Smile!!:)


Life is beautiful, if we only have patience to allow ourselves to see its beauty, to hear its unique melody and to remember it in our hearts...

"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you" Isaiah 46:4

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEAB

What I've Been Up To

While it's been quiet on my blog lately, it hasn't been quiet in my Daily life. The past 2 weeks ago, i have been down to SukhoThai province for the race call “SUKHOTHAI... RUN FOR THE WORLD HERITAGE” as i wrote on my last blog about taking a short trip to somewhere on the weekend. This race trip it was good and i can say that i like that place. i got there by the bus. I leaved my town around 9 am the bus ticket is not expensive, it took about 5 hours to get there. this trip i was travel alone but met many friends there and spend time with them at that's place.

When i arrived there. i was looking for a place to stay and i met other lady who's from Chiangmai and came here for the race and she have look for the place to stay the same. At first i though i want to stay alone and get sleep as much as i can but that lady she was asked me to stay with her in one room but two beds, I thought it's a good deal just paid 150 Baht. After that i went to registered for Mini marathon 10 k and i was changed my mind later when i met the others friends they're ran Half 21 k. i though i should run 21 k but the problem is i didn't practice for run long distance like that for a long time! and i still did it!

That night i just realized i got big mistake! to stay with that lady. she kept talking to me until 10 30 pm and she's also turn the light on all night long! Ohhh man... i want to say to her"Do you know ?i start the race at 5 am and i have to wake up about 4.30 am and I NEED TO SLEEP!!!" She ran only 10 k. all night i can say that its terrible night, i am so tired in the morning. I am not blame that is her fault is all mine! haha

We start ran about 5 or 5 30 am i am not sure, forgot!! i ran with Bethany she is very good long runner. first 10 k we both are fine but after that we both got cramp on the legs. Bethany got one time but MEEE i got manytime the last 5 k its was soo bad and i was so tired and so hungry! In the end we both finished 21 k in 2 hours 45 minute. Bethany got the first place and i got the second place and we both have to carry the trophy what's look like a Kilometer Mark back home. It's was a nice trophy, medal and also nice running shirt. Do not ask about the way back home! i can say it's was terrible i got sick for a whole week!

I'm grateful for the opportunities. Although I am thankful for breaks and not every day is sunshine and roses, as we all know and i hope i will have more chance to take a little trip like this again soon.

About my daily life still same same, taking care of 2 boys and i also got new name is "Best" suite me i think LoL.. I m the Best! sometime i am abit bored as you know i am not really like to do anything same same over and over. i still want to exercise my brain like thinking. to be a nanny is easy and you don't have to think too hard but tired! I will continue to be with them more another month, leave them in the end of June for a reason. i will continue to talk about this later.

May my heart and attitudes reflect Your beauty! Amen.

Thanks for spending your time to read my blog. Hope you all have a great weekend...Love ya

Release my thoughts..

I hope everyone is having a good beginning of Thai New Year. I haven't been here for 3 weeks. I just... read others blogpost and decided that its about time I should blog again too though blogging is like no longer in fashion, but i'm a non-conformist ALTHOUGH i have FB, but at least I don't have twitter. I am back. They have been for like almost 3 weeks. I can't believe it. It seems so long ago, yet I have no idea what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks. I mean I've been pretty busy but for the life of me, I don't know how I've filled all the days. Still, I've done lots of things I've been wanting to do.. like meeting new friends, going running even i am pretty lazy and also sometime i got surprised to see a guy showing his ugly stuff under his pants to me while i am run.Yukkkk..i like to playing games sometime, click like to the friends post on FB, gone clubbing (just for the experience)so, you know, its been fun so far. And I finally have time to daydream as much as i want, which is such a relief. Hahaha.

past 3 weeks ago was the Thai New Years celebration Songkran, i just did celebrated our new year with family also done manything as Buddhist tradition and went to water fight around the moat with friend. I have my water gun and also have bucket. we just got soak less then 10 second to get in to the moat! crazy but so much fun..i wasn't here last year, went down to the beach spent time alone in Koh larn Pattaya. After went to get fun time with friend around the moat i was realize thats i should haven't missed Songkran in Chiang Mai again. haha Chiang Mai Is My Kingdom!!! I have not many picture to show you all how much fun here.

Most of the night i wake up in the middle of night and release my thoughts. Have many reason to make me waking up as rain and wind, the worse thing is nightmare! some time after i woke up i have been think to manything like last night. I wouldn't say I’ve never tell lies. Or hide the truth. But honest is the thing I want to be. I’m easily believe peoples. becos i want to be honest & truthful to myself and others, I want other to believe in me as i believe in them. "Believe" look more properly in Believe word still have Lie word in there! Oh mannn...sometime i think i feel that the world owes me something. the truth of the matter is that the world owes me nothing. haha

I am planing to take a short trip to travel somewhere on next weekend. Will to go alone for this trip as usual . I feel good but lonely sometime when i travel alone but my mine use to it and i feel being love it though.

ok that was like a really long blogpost. And I'm supposed to be finishing my trip planing for next weekend. Hahahaha I totally not good planer actually. Thank goodness all the secrecy is over though. sound great ! well its time for me to go to bed.Good night for yall. Love you, Bless
