TV online

www.thaitv.tv is the most favorite website that I always go to it. This website provides a of of Thai drama that was showed in Thailand. Not only the Thai drama or movie, it also has Asia movie from various countries such as Korea, Hong hong, and Japan. So, I so enjoy watching it. Before I got the internet connection, I had applied the to use this website. When I moved out to the new place and no has internet at there, I had no chance to see any movie. I just paid 30 dollar for three months. Average costs per month is 10 dollar. If I watch the movies everyday, my costs will be a lot cheaper.

finally got it

Many readers that look at this topic might be curious that what the thing i got. it was the internet connection that I had tired to beg house mate whose own the wireless connection. The first time, i asked him to give me the password to assess. He refused to do so. I have no idea why he was so mean. I thought many many ways to have it. I looked up information by asking my friend about price, if I want to have my own internet connection. it might cost me about 30 dollar. It is quite expensive though. Actually the price is not the big deal. the issue must be that if i moved out form this house, what will happen about my contract and i don't want to redo again. Finally, the guys who is own the internet asks me to go to travel at York street. i did not want to go, but he will give me the password if i go with him. I decided not to go out with him. At the end he gave me the password. LUcky

Thai temple

I'm quite surprised that on the Long Island, there is one Thai temple. For the Thai culture, Temple is a center for place for people in that area. When people want to make a merit thing for ones who passed away, they would go to the temple. In the past, education was provided in the temple and monks were teachers. At here, my feeling toward the temple is different. In essence, a few people that i could see at the temple here. May be, people who believe in the Buddhist way is scare. I was not feel like I'm at my home. One thing was same is monks. They were so nice, helpful and charismatic.

a good thing happen

As i ever mentioned before, My Thai friend got married with American and she has American resturant at long island. I always go there to help her clean table and prepare salad for customers. I have never expected that I will get any money from that because i just want to help my friend and also i help her to do so only weekend. I was surprised she gave me money for helping her. Although , it was not much, i'm so thankful her. I just need something to do because i'm so bored when living alone. Not only money i did get from her, experiences from working informally at there made me happy. moreover, i know now how to make salad.

The statue of liberty

The statue of liberty is the one of many places in New York that I really want to visit. Although, I have been U.S. almost three years and been N.Y. almost two years. I have never visited there. Actually, I was there, but just saw it so far. I did not take the ferry to see it closely. So, it seem i did not go there. Once I planned to go there by getting up in the early morning and still was too late because my friend got lose. He brought me to take subway the same route many times. So, when we two arrived there, the ticket counter closed already.

lucky

This should be the situation that i thought it was the luckiest moment. It happened when I went back home after finishing the class. At that time, i was walking on the footpath and also talking to my friend. At that time, i have to cross the road at intersection. Usually, i never notice anything around me. Just cross the road when i 'm seeing the sign that allow me to do. At that time, i paid strong attention to only the sign but cars coming to left side. I hesitated to cross and decide to wait. Immediately, two cars coming from different side bumped into each other and just was far fro me about 3 feet. So, i survived because i did not cross the road and still taking to me phone. May be it made more careful.

lonely time

This is the weekend that I feel so lonely. Nothing I can do. Just three weeks left, i will go back Thailand. I have concerned about my F-1 visa status. If I could not pass this program, can i still go back? Actually, i was used to ask someone who took care and answered my questions. He said if I could not pass, that is not responsible for the school to allow me to go back because i'm studying at a high level; therefore the school will not give me one more chances to study here, if i could not pass this semester. i have to find a new school to transfer to. A lot of things came to mind such as confusion, stress and unhappiness.

Big market in Queen

Actually, there are a lot of shops, restaurants and groceries around the area that I'm living, Roostvells station such as Indian groceries which I really don't like especially the smell of seasoning. It is so strong and smelly, in my opinion, Thai restaurants and fast food such as Macdonald and Dunkin Donut. Yesterday, I was sightseeing around this area. I found the big market that was located in one block of the street that is behind the Roostvells station. The market provided various kinds of Asia products such as Korea and Thai instant noodles, Thai vegetable and cheap imported electronic stuff from China. Although, they are relatively low prices, i don't want to buy those products from China because they are well-know in negative side. At that day, I bought Korea instant noodle a lot. I knew that it was quite odd that I preferred to have Korea noodle rather than Thai one. I don't know why?? I like the taste of soup. OH i almost forget. the name of the noodle is Nioguri.

waiteress

today, i went to my Thai friend restaurant at somewhere in Long Island. I think it could be far from Hicksville about one hour by driving. The activities that i was doing there was to help my friend to prepare salad and decorate dishes before they were sent to kitchen. That was quite fun and gave me good experiences. Now, i knew that how difficult for preparing food and how much skills should be used to cook. Every process has to be sure that taste and health standard meet to par. Actually, those things I mentioned were not one I want to share, but revenues of servers are. At that day, the restuarant got five to eight tables a day, but total tips were 100 bucks. That was pretty huge money in my opinion. So, I now I changed my mind toward this an occupation.

New apartment

Now, i'm living in the new place which is locating in Queen. So, now I don't know what the address exactly. I just know that when I come out from my new apartment, I have to make a right to go to Roostvllest subway station. my room does not have any facilities and its length is 180 cm. That's so small. Just i can put one small mattress and my computer at my right hand side. Unfortunately, I cannot use internet here. Sometime, i have to go to some public places that provide free internet or go to my friend house. I'm trying to think positively that everything is gonna be fine and may be i will move out to new place at the end of this month.

one of the bad times of my life

This is the story that made me disappointed and sacred every time i think of it. The situation just happened last two days ago and related to the party i went with the guys who I quite respect as brother and he is older than me more than twenty years. when I was in the party at Phuket restaurant everybody that was in the party was enjoyable and had a lot of fun. They danced and sang songs in follow the Karaoke. At that time, i did not realize much that the guy I mentioned above would try to follow me all the time. Wherever in the small room I was, he would follow me and also tried to move his body to close my one as much as I can. So, I did not know what I should have done. I had to be patient until the party finished. So, the time was almost five o'clock in the morning. I wondered that I will not go to these kinds of party with him again. When I was on the car, he also kept doing the same things, but this time I tried to tell other friends to know and hoped that they would help me, but nobody could help me because most of them are drunk and nobody paid attentions to each others. After I arrived home with the guys and another friend who got drunk, I had an intuition that if I went to an up stair immediately, he would follow to my room and no one could help me. So, I decided to wait until to walk away to his room, but he did not go to his room alone. He tried to drag me to go to basement where his room was in. I screamed and hope someone would help me and I also asked him to release me. Like, he listened nothing. I was so scared and knew that I don't have enough power to take myself from him. At that time, I was so desperate and hopeless. Immediately, my friend opened the door from basement and ordered the guy to release me, but the guy tried to tell him that it was not your business (I don't know exactly what he talked). I just knew one thing that my friend asked me so loudly and strongly to go to bed. Finally, I survived from the worst situation in my life. After I was in my room, I locked my door and tried to find some heavy stuff to prevent the door and then called to my Thai friend. She said I had to move out and she had a friend who is living in Queen and he could find a room me. Monday, I skipped the class and move out to the house in Queen. I don’t want to tell anyone and I know that he was drunk and he could not control his mind. So, it had better if I move out. I really miss my family and want to go back Thailand as fast as I can, but I cannot do that because I have been here almost three years and I still don’t yet any success for my life. At least, I should pass English course here before deciding to do something.
