A little family vacation

Tomorrow we are going to have a little family vacation; going up to the North, flying to Chiang Mai, and plan to look around a bit in the surrounding area as well.
We were lucky enough to secure a real nice deal on AirAsia's flight, costing only about 50$/person the round trip, taxes included.
It pays of if you know in advance when and where you would like to go, chances are you can still find a seat cheap, unlike a few days prior departure.
A hope to take lots of photos, and might post some here, once we are back.
I have been in Chiang Mai already once, 7 years ago, but that time my son didn't born yet...so this is first time for him there.
Wish me good weather, suppose to be a bit cooler there, but maybe a pleasant change away from the humid rainy season in the central area where we are.

It has been a long time since....

Yes, indeed it has been a very long time since I wrote here.
I have been busy a bit with work, did another contract on the cruise ship I am working before....and I have to admit that found also a new hobby, what started to develop into something more.
I met forex or FX trading on my way to learn some way to make online income, and it did fast develop into some kind of passion. The simple reason that I fount it to work.
No, it isnt like a secret get fast rich formula, and indeed you have to put actual time into it to do ok, but this is the one and only way I found ( so far) that able to make me more than mere cents, like blogging, or PTC (paid-to click), and in the same time being lots of fun and excitement too.
Anyway, I started to do ok, and develop this hobby to some sort of online business, a progress still on its way.
Maybe in the future I will include a bit details about it, in the meantime I will try to restart posing a few of stories abd photos about travel-me-etc :)

Today I came across something new in our local Tesco, what caught my attention: it is called Pepsi Green. I don't know if it is something locally promoted, or worldwide, but my adventurous side got me, so I had one to try it out.



The result of the test:

As you can see above, it is not the battle that green, but the drink itself. The taste? Sort of Pepsi, sweet with no really distinct flavour to name. It is not bad, nor really good in my opinion, say, it is interesting.
If you also have it available, I would like to know your opinion about!

My latest achivement

I know, I know, I am behind posting lately.
It is due I have a new interest, but it is a bit early to talk about it, and part can be contributed to my friends who were nice to spend the New Year and some time after here with us. Oh, and yes, I am lazy a bit too. Sorry.


And now the achievement:
I love books and reading, and since a while my library, even the part I have here, outgrow the capacity of my bookshelf. It was time for a while to get another, and possible bigger one, and finally I found the one I liked.
But as all so often nowadays, it came in a neat long box, with a drawing and endless number of screws. A Lego toy for adults??
Had some other similar furniture experiences already, but neither the living room table, not the TV stand came this numerous pieces and screws, that with my not to pro screwdriver I could not manege in half an hour or less.
Well, this self I could manage only in 2 parts, with a break, as my hands really got tired. But seeing the result, I am happy.
Before you jump to conclusion about prior shelf, I have to say the books you see on the photo ARE NOT my whole library I was telling about! To organize things is a work in progress, and knowing my laziness lately, it might take up to a week to find the " right moment" to do it.

Happy New Year!

I like to wish a Happy and Prosperous New Year for everyone!

The reason being a little late with my wishes that my best friend and his girlfriend is visiting me, so, spent New Years Eve, and some other days with a little holiday travel.
But now has again some time for myself, and I will try to catch up a bit with the postings I missed.
Expect to see some new posts soon, as well I hope to come with the last month's top droppers list too.

Merry Christmas!

First of all, I would like to wish Merry Christmas and lots of happiness to all who read my blog!

Thanks for taking the time and stop by to read it.

This Xmas is a little different then the previous few was for me. Due to my work, the last 4 Xmas I was spending far away from my family, working, somewhere in the mid of the Caribbean Sea, in most case just north of the Dominican Republic, what i really love, but not that time of the year ( and without work).

So, lucky me, this isn't the 5th year in the row working far away, but celebration with my small family. Since Thailand is not a Christian majority country (Buddhism is the main religion) Xmas here is more a shoppers holiday than the real thing. The weather help to reinforce this feeling too; no, it isn't a white Xmas here. However, i tried to make it memorable, for my son especially, of course, after all I wasn't with him the last 4 occasion, and before he was too small to really understand much about it.

We bought a smaller Xmas tree, at least the plastic version of it, and some decorating things and lights to hang on. Being a responsible adult ( sometimes) all was bought around 2 weeks ago. Should you plan next year to do like me, don't. There was not a single day my son wouldn't ask when will we decorate the tree. A few times a day. OK, there is a good in the bad, he could practise math, by deducting current date from 24...

Anyway, we got here, and for much of his happiness, we all decorated our little 3 feet imitation tree together; a few times, as once the lights were on the wrong place, once the garlands, or my son hang too many little boxes and bells to one side, and not much on the other. But being a small tree, even this didn't take so long, not for what i remember from my early years, when i was kid.

After we finished, my son went to bicycle with the friends, and we could bring out his presents from the bottom of the cabinets. You have to know, that most time ( also due that many times I work far away) buying presents used to be a whole family activity, when I am at home, get them to the mall, and buy many things to make up for those missed birthdays, Xmases, etc.

But this time it was different a bit, for my son we bought everything when he was in the kindergarten, so, he didn't suspect a thing. He thought, obviously from his experience, that today we are finished with the tree, and tomorrow I will take them to shop toys, the most important aspect of all events.

There was big surprise, when he came home!! He could not imagined that how we got all that presents for him, kept asking my wife how they came, and was so happy for "all this free toys". I think in a way he believes Santa Claus now, not even for a tiny second suspecting that we bought this toys, and presents. And we leave him there, child mind is best when imagination has free reign. Merry Christmas everyone!
