BANGKOK DECEMBER 2017
Bangkok December 2017
Girls. Friends
Dry season, even cool at night…this is what Bangkok was like in December. Good things are you can still swim at night in the pool and you can walk without sweating. Long meetings that take away the daylight, but nice morning walks that allow me to keep observing (or trying to observe as my colleague walks at a fast pace…). I wonder what the observed ones feel and what they are thinking about… When I walk or run on my own, my head moves in multiple directions and ideas come and go. I also experience feelings that have an impact on my thoughts and even on the way I smile…If I listen to music, my mood changes depending on what I am listening to and I can run much faster just by singing along with my head. Sometimes I let the ideas flow and I even talk outloud…But I am wondering what all these girls and women were thinking about… It is a different matter to be surrounded by friends, girl friends. Sometimes those friends know you well and know what you are thinking about just by looking at you and no words are needed. Sorority :A group of girls who have come together because they look similar, and are now kind of friends…Look similar???WTF A soror is a soror just because you can relate to each other...I love the term soror So, when you are with your sorors, you feel empowered and you know you can go places together, win battles and achieve goals. The strength of the individual women add up
So let’s imagine for a moment…
She knows she is sophisticated. At the same time, she is thinking about how time flies…It seems like yesterday when she started her career as a young professional in Bangkok. It was not easy for women at that time to progress in their careers…It is not easy now either…She does not regret not having had children although the society has always questioned her choice. She is strong enough to live with that.
I am a little girl, almost five. My dad took me to school today and it was cold. That is why I am wearing this pink coat with hearts on it. I am new in the school and have not had time to make friends yet. That is why I look a little lost while turning my head in the direction my dad left after dropping me off. To be honest, I don’t like pink…and I don’t want to be a princess
We know we don’t have to wear mourning clothes anymore, but we just don’t like the new King and prefer to still honor the former one wearing black. We are in hurry for our first visit today. We hope we will make it on time.
I ride my bicycle to work. I think it would be much easier if I lived in Berlin, but I was born here. I also love wearing tight pants. Sometimes I get pissed off because there are many rude simpleminded guys around that believe they have a right to tell me if I look ok or not. Do they think I give a shit about what their thoughts are on the way I look?
My friend and I are attending a book presentation this evening. The book is about love and life. The author describes life as it is‌fun, sad, full of love and hate, different to every one of us The author’s mom was a lesbian and as a child he experienced unique feelings in a feminine universe.
Oops, I just realized I have to go buy some fruit at the market before heading home‌
End of the day at work. My new boyfriend is waiting for me outside. I love the way he kisses
I took some calligraphy courses recently. I love writing, even if it is just the menu
I think I want to go back to school. I was always kind of lazy or just did not find it attractive‌ I have changed my mind. I wish I could go back and carry on studying. I know now that learning can be so much fun.
I just love riding the bicycle with my dad to school. I just don’t like wearing pink clothes…when I grow up I will not wear pink anymore…On the other side of the street I see a friend. She is also wearing pink…Why??????
I thought I could download this app on 3G, but I am running out of data for the month
My clothes color matches the door. My sunglasses are really cool and I can tell you like them because you are just taking a picture of me.
I don’t like my skin getting sun burnt I don’t like my lungs breathing this polluted air If I could, I would move to a healthier place
Christmas mood does not mean I have to have a smile on my face
We know we are cool. We are friends and friends are always cool
I pretend to be a model just for Instagram But my feet hurt and I would rather be barefoot on grass, wearing only a bathing suit while sunbathing
In five minutes, I am through with work for today. When I finish, I am going to go have some singhas with my everlasting friends. We have known each other for over fifteen years and we love to spend time together and talk‌Sometimes we end up finding out about sad stories, about broken marriages where husbands thought our friends were some kind of property. But these friends of ours have managed to find their way out of these relationships and are much better on their own
I am ready for the new adventure Life is an adventure and every day can be surprising if we just open our eyes and listen carefully to what life has to tell us
