Before Midterm Examination

Last weekend, I spent lots of money for shopping and all that money was the money that I had to spend this week. I knew that was very bad; I would be in the trouble if I still spent lots of money. At the beginning of this week, I got financial problem. I always get 1,800 baht per week as my food expenses and my pocket money. But 1,800 baht was not enough for this week; I had to tell my mother to send me more money. Those made me feel guilty. I would never want the situation like this again, so I would better to control my expense.

On Last Tuesday, I had quiz in psychology class. The quiz contained 17 questions that I had to fill in the missing words to complete the blanks, and one question contained more than one missing word, or even more, it was up to the concept. The teacher told us before the day of the quiz that the questions were taken from the concept review of the chapters that she taught. My Psychology teacher is a very nice teacher because she always gave us the review of every chapter, always made sure that the students understood, the concept, the idea, about what she had been teaching, and always be very kind. Those are why the students like her so much. I did my best on that quiz, it was not difficult at all if the students read, understand, and remember the concepts.

My family went to have lunch at Pan Pan Restaurant again, but this time we went to another branch. The foods were not delicious as another branch that I had last weekend. We ordered just a little but we paid 1,300 baht for those foods. The foods did not delicious as its price.



I went to the theatre with my mother and my brother to see the movie called “I Am Legend”. The movie was so scary and excellent than I expected at first. As you can see from my blog, you would know that I am so in love with watching movie in the theatre. I love going to the theatre and I also love eating popcorn there. I can gain lots of the knowledge and the experiences from the movies. For me, watching the movies is very useful, especially in the theatre; it would make things seem more of reality and more of capacity of memorization.



Midterm examination is coming. Now I have to study hard for Midterm examination because I want to do well on the tests as I can to gain a good score. I am having three subjects on Midterm examination. Those three subjects are Psychology, Enlish for law II, and Economics. Not all of my friends that are going to have Economics test because some of my friends did not register Economics for this semester. While I was typing this, I was thinking about the sentence from the movie, “Transformers”, said “No Sacrifice, No Victory”. And I totally agreed with that. So a good score would be as the victory, and study hard would be as the sacrifice.



I met new friends in Ethics class. And the next two days, I saw him again while I was talking to my friend, and he was walking pass through me. I knew what his name is, but I could not say it right away. This always happens in my everyday’s life. Sometime people just can not be able to recall or retrieve the information from the memories that they stored. But the picture of the movie still in my mind and help me to remember the sentence. As I learn from psychology, the situation when we can not be able to recall the information even though we truly know the information, but we can not say it right away, it is called “Tip-of-The-Tongue”.

The Golden Compass

On November 5th, my family went to visit Uncle Michale and then had dinner together at Pan Pan Restaurant. In the evening, we went to the theatre to see the movie called “The Golden Compass”. It was crowded. Many people were there, buying the movie’s ticket. I had to buy the gift card that cost me 1,000 baht to get in the shorter line to buy the movie’s ticket, and my mother wanted to buy the gift card anyway. I can use the gift card as the money to buy things only in the theatre until the next two and a half months. The gift card I bought gave me 1,050 baht, a free cup, and the coupons. And 50 baht, a free cup, and the coupons, were my benefit, that is the reason why my mother likes buying it. The movie was an action, an adventure, a drama, a family, a fantasy, and a thriller movie. I really enjoyed the movie. I cannot wait to see the next part.

The movie was about the world that people did not have their souls inside them like us but follow them as spirit animals called demon. If they got hurt, their demons would be hurt. And if they died, their demons would be dead as well. There were so many universes and many earths parallel each other. The world could connect to each other by dust. The world in the story once made many golden compasses called Alethiometer that can tell those which was hidden, the truth. The materials wanted to control everybody in the world, they did not want to have nonconformist people, so they destroyed the golden compasses, but one still left. Lyra was just a girl living among scholars in Oxford’s Jordan College, but she was the one who could read Alethiometer. As child’s demons, they could change into many kinds of animal, and they would be settling permanently one day. Lyra’s demon, Pantalaimon, did not settle yet. Pantalaimon changed into many kinds of animal such as cat, bird, and others. Lord Asriel had to take care of Lyra as her guardian. In the conference, he said about the dust which evolved the light that had found in the North. The dust went through the demon first, and then went through the old man who was the owner of the demon. Lord Asriel wanted to have the fund to do the research about the dust, to prove the other worlds really exist. Lyra was hiding in the closet, and she was so excited to know the truth about dust. The rector of Oxford’s Jordan College gave the last Alethiometer to Lyra before she left with Coulter because he knew from the witches that Lyra would be the important person for changing the world. First, Lyra really liked Coulter and Lyra hated Coulter when Coulter was too bossy and became Coulter’s enemy when Lyra knew Coulter was the head of the Globbers, who kidnapped the kids, including Lyra’s friend named Roger. Lyra went to Bowangka in the North to save those kids who were kidnapped for the experiment called the intercession, the separation between a person, and the demon of that person. Lyra got help from the armor bear named Uric, the Egyptians, and the witches for saving those kids.

Nicole Kidman is one of the actresses I really like. I think Nicole Kidman is talented, I can see from her performances in the movies such as “Moulin Rouge”, “The Others”, “The Hours”, “The Human Stain”, “Bewitched”, and others.

Prevent Our Skins

Although dry skin can affect us at any time of the year, it is usually worse during the colder months when humidity is low. As starting of the winter season, it was cold this week. As you know, Thailand would be cold just for a moment, short period of time, not cold as a whole time as the season. My skin is dry as many people. I found the information to take care of my skin in many easy ways.

First way to take care of my skin is not to take a shower with too hot water. Taking a shower in winter season should turn down the heat into lower level, not too hot because our skins would be drier in winter season more than other seasons. Second way is do not using soap too much. Because soap would make our skins become drier, we should use soap just in some important area such as arms, armpits, and others. Soap strips away our skin's natural oils, making it more likely to get itchy and flaky. The perfect soap to use during the winter should be soap that has pH around five because it would not make our skins too dry, should be a beauty bar or gentle cleanser. Third way is do not taking a bath so long. I should spend time not over 10 minutes for it. Forth way is using lotion every time after taking a bath for not getting itchy and flaky.

After I talked to my father last weekend, I realized that I should drink milk even though I really do not like. I used to drink milk when I was very young just like the other kids. I stopped drinking milk when I was around eight years old. Then I began to drink Coke as normal as water. I knew Coke is not good for my health, many times that I had been trying so hard to stop drinking it, and I could not make it, I was addicted. I already made it not so long ago. I can stop drinking Coke as normal as water. I do not drink it for over a month and every time I see Coke at supermarket, I do not have any feeling that makes want to buy it as I always had. I am so happy for myself.

This week I was bored with no reason. I rent two movies from Banana VCD & DVD Rental, One was DVD called “Mr. fix it” and another one was VCD called “Hannah Montana”. These two were not the movies that I wanted to rent because the one that I wanted to rent was out of store, which meant that I had to wait. The movies that I rent, one of them that I did not even finish watching it and another one that I played the movies while I was busy. I did not know why I let it be like that, the movies were not interesting or I was not in the mood that wanting to watch the movies. Sometime it just happens even though I am a person that always loves watching movies.

Such a Scary Week

On November 16th, Narm wanted me to look after her rabbit, Memie, until she came back. So my rabbit, Maya, was not lonely because he had a friend to play with. It was a sad story about both of them. Memie, Narm's rabbit, was dead on November 18th. And the following day, Maya had gone to stay with Memie. I was so sorry Narm that I did not take care of your rabbit for good enough. Even though Memie was dead while I was sleeping which was an accident, but it was still my fault. I'm truly sorry Maya that I was not good enough for treating you. I was asking myself why both of you had to go so soon.



I watched horror movie called “Stay Alive” in the evening. It made me scared for a whole night. I also had to turn on the light for a whole night, and I could not sleep until 2 A.M. When I woke up in the morning, I felt so sleepy like I did not sleep last night at all. And after that in the morning, I did not know someone was kidding me or not, I heard the strange voices calling my name, Jelly, Jelly, and Jelly, for so long. I was so cared and pretended to hear nothing. I told Narm when I met her. She wanted to sleep with me if I wanted at night. I might not be able to sleep if I sleep alone. Later, my friend at my dormitory at the 5th floor told me that it was her that calling my name after I asked her about that.

On November 23rd, I came back home at night. Because my father missed me and wanted me to come back home so much, he drove a car to pick me up. Even though I always talk to my parents on phone, but they really want me to be there with them.

Today is Loy Kratong’s Day. I went to Fashion Island, department store, with my mother instead of going to the Suan Siam to do the activity for Loy Kratong’s Day. We had lunch at Mr. Meung, Chinese restaurant.

I wanted to find my new jacket. I looked for it many places. Finally, I could find it at Hara store. It was blue. My mother bought it for me as a gift of being such a nice daughter.

I missed my old hair color which was black, so I decided to change my hair style. I changed my hair color from brown to black. I was shocked after my new hair color came out. Comparing to my old black hair, this was really dark and maybe too dark. Nothing can be changed right now. Even though I do not like it, but I have to get used to it.

I love eating salad so much, especially for dinner. Before we came back home, I bought salad at Sizzler for my dinner this evening. It was delicious. My mother bought Lasagna Supreme at Pizza Hut for my brother. When we got back, my brother did not want to eat Lasagna Supreme. He called 1150, Pizza Hut Delivery, to order for Pizza and Spaghetti in White Cream Sauce. This made my mother upset and so did I, why did not he just eat Lasagna Supreme, why he wanted to make thing so complicated.

My Little Maya

On November 12th, I was free in the afternoon, so I could do anything I wanted. First, I went to THE MALL with my friend and then we went to TAWANNA after we finished eating dinner at Sizzler at THE MALL. TAWANNA is the market that mostly opens in the evening for selling many different things. The location is nearby THE MALL, so many people would come to TAWANNA more often when they come to THE MALL and stay until the evening. It is very good for them to find and buy things with the cheap price.

I tried to find my new shoes but unfortunately not any of those that I was interested could fit on my feet as well as their looks. I found a lovely wristlet and it cost 90 baht. I liked it a lot because the color was purple, which is my favourite color. It was not too expensive, so I decided to buy it.

When we were at the end of the way that we had walked, we found one shop that the market woman was taking care of her rabbits. The rabbits were so small, tiny, and very cute. We watched them for a while. Firstly, I did not have any idea to buy anyone of them. I and my friend could not get our eyes off them, they were too cute. They were dressed by the lovely outfits. Suddenly, I was thinking that I wanted one of them, I did not know what put that idea into my head. We began to ask for their ages and then the price. It cost 200 baht for each one and it would cost more 20 baht for the food. The price was not expensive at all to pay for one rabbit, and maybe too cheap. I spent time so long to choose one of them.

Finally, I got one. I decided to choose the one that I thought it was healthy and friendly. His age was two months and he was very tiny, I can hold him with my one hand. He was dressed by the orange outfit. Even though orange is not my favourite color, but it suited on him very well. He was named Maya. The reason why I gave Maya as his name because it was the name of the dog in the movie called “Eight Below”, and he was very nice and clever dog in the story.

After I came back from TAWANNA, I came to see my friend named Narm, and I also brought Maya with me. Narm also really wanted to buy a rabbit when she saw Maya. I had to come back to the shop that sells rabbits with Narm again that night to let Narm pick one of those. The rabbit she bought was bigger than Maya. Narm gave the name to him as Memie. She wanted the letter of the beginning of the name to be the same as Maya, which is M.

I feel less lonely this week because I have Maya. He always entertains people. My friends like Maya a lot because he is very friendly and loves to play with them. It is hard for him to stop walking around and to stop being curious, but when he sleeps, he will sleep silently as he is dead. I love my little Maya and I will treat him as best as I can.

Doing an exercise & Going to the theatre

I love to do an exercise very much because it makes me feel better in many ways after I finish doing it. I love running just like my father, not just for losing weight but also to win myself to be more patience. My father used to be a runner when he was a young man. He always wants his children, Me and my brother, to do an exercise, especially running. Most people have to go for running when they want to lose their weights. After I finished my first semester at Assumption University, I realized that my weight was increased but the increasing weight was not the point. The point was how fit the body was. I knew it myself that my body was not firm anymore because I had been eating lots of food all day when I was living at the dormitory without doing an exercise. I felt so good to put food into the mouth and chewed it. That was my behavior which was not good for my health. It made me felt good just while I was eating but after that I felt uncomfortable in my stomach because it was too much food. It was hard for me to control myself because food was everywhere at the university. The funny thing was I could not breathe as well as I used to when I wore my old pants. My father agreed with that, he said to me at the first time he saw me after I came back that I was fat and not fit. Actually it was just four kilograms increasing. This was not that bad like the time that I came back from America, that was a real fat, ten kilograms increasing. In that time, I had to go for running almost everyday in the evening for almost three months to lose around seven kilograms, it was not only running that I did, I also turned on the music and danced. Before I went to American, even though I ate lots of food and I did not have to do an exercise at all, it was hard for me to be fat. Now I have been doing an exercise almost everyday for three weeks. Not only doing an exercise I did, but I also drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables and not eat too much food to feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Even though I do not like drinking water at all, I have to drink lots of water. I go to the fitness at the gym that is above 8th floor of E building at the university with my friends, Aom, Narm, and Pink. Mostly I go there with Aom because she wants her body to be fitted. There are some of my friends still do not understand why a person like me still wants to do an exercise. For me, being thin does not mean it was healthy.



Today I went to “The Mall” Department store with my best friend. We went to the theatre and watched the movie called “Surf Up”. Actually “Surf Up” was not the one we wanted to watch. The perfect time of the movies' schedule that possibly to watch was just this one because my friend could not come back home lately. “Surf Up” was an animation, a sport, a family, and a comedy. The story was about the teenage pencuin named Cody Maverick, who wanted to be the winner of the completition and be a famous surfer. The story taught about the real importance was not always about the winning because the true winner was not always the one who came first.

My 19th Birthday & My Old Friends

My name is Chompoonut Wiroonpan. You can call me “Jelly” which is my nickname. I am 19 years old. I have one brother no sister. My brother is 13 years old. He is a swimmer. My mother has to take care of my brother very closely that is the reason why I have to live at the dormitory.

I love international music and I also love singing American Music. I always sing lots of songs everyday. I love doing exercise everyday because it makes me feel relax. It is also good for my health and my mind. Doing exercise helps me do many difficult things better, to be more patience.

Now I am studying at Assumption University, faculty of Law. Before this I was in Triamudomsuksanomklao School since 7th grade to 11th grade. I went to America when I was in 12th grade. I studied at North Spring High School in Atlanta, Georgia, as a senior. I went back to Thailand after being there six months. It was earlier than I was planned from the beginning. Because I wanted to go to the university in time, I wanted to do the GED test. The reason why I wanted to go to study in the university in time was I did not want to wait for another year to go for the university. After I passed all of the subjects that containing in the GED test, I decided to study in Assumption University. I believe that Assumption University will give me lots of knowledge from studying because knowledge is power. People can do many things if they have knowledge. And also the best skills of English language that Assumption University is good at.



My birthday was November 1st. I am 19 years old now. It means I already passed 18 years old which was very important for me because I am able to have a driver’s license and to vote for the elections, and I will be 20 years old on the same day of next year which is also very important for me because I will attain adulthood and be able to do many things.

I felt so happy on my 19th birthday, it was so surprising to me. The day before November 1st my best friends told me nothing. Before twelve o’clock at night, three of them came to knock my door while I was sleeping, it was no light at all in my room. After I opened the door, I saw the cake, there were many candles with the light on the cake, and they were singing happy birthday’s song. I was shocked and did not know what to say. It was unexpected, they really surprised me. I made a wish before I blow the cake. The cake was a chocolate cake, and it was delicious. I love eating cake a lot and my friends know that. Two of them gave me the gift box. The box was purple which is my favourite color. There were so many things inside the gift box such as candies, chocolates, and birthday’s card. I really loved the birthday’s card, it was so sweet. Another best friend gave me a gold fish. I used to tell her long time ago that I wanted to have a gold fish in the glass bowl but I did not believe that she was going to give me that. Next day I got another surprisal again at lunch. While my friends and I were finishing our lunch. Other best friends brought another cake to me surprisingly, they were singing happy birthday’s song.

I remember that my 18th birthday was so different from my 19th birthday. I did not have a good time with my best friends in Thailand. I was 18 years old while I was in America. The cake was given by the Baker, my host family. They were very nice to me. They gave me the CDs of my favourite singers, Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. There are so many gossips that both of them hate each other but I do not know why I love both of them. For now it seems like I love Hilary Duff more than Lindsay Lohan. Hilary is better than Lindsay. Hilary is a very nice girl because she does not have undesirable habits like Lindsay have that I can see from the news.

I wanted to thank all of my friends for giving me such a wonderful time of my birthday. I will never forget anything that happened on my birthday of this year!

My friends at my old school-Triamudomsuksanomklao School, made a meeting at the restaurant named Lamour, I had never been there before. The meeting was begun at 6 o’clock in the evening yesterday, and I absolutely would like to be there to see my old friends. Many people were there but not all of them. I had not seen those friends since I came back to Thailand. I had to finish doing an exercise with my friends at Assumption University before I went there. All of them obviously changed the look of themselves to be grown up. We had a wonderful dinner.

After the meeting I went to my best friend’s house yesterday, and I came back to the dormitory today. She is my best friend from my high school -Triamudomsuksanomklao School. I have known her since I was in 7th grade, we were in the same class. Even though we did not study in the same class in 8th grade, we became close. We have become best friends when we were in 8th grade. We had not seen each other since I was back from America. Because she missed me and wanted to see me so much, she asked me to sleepover at her house. I thought it was a good time because the place of the meeting that I went was not too far away from her house. I was welcomed by her parents, they were also happy to see me. We had a wonderful time together. We watched the movies at night before we went to bed. I let her chose the movies she wanted to watch. We talked to each other so long before we slept, and those conversations made us slept very late at night and were sleepy in the morning. After we woke up, we had a breakfast simply. When I had to come back. I promised her to meet her again as possible unless I am so busy. As I has promised her, I will keep my word.
