Just about a week, we will be going into year 2k8. For me, this year is really amazing. why?
1. I got accepted into the VCU Adcenter, the best advertising school in the US. and the school doesn't let me down at all. It's not about the reputation, new location, pride but it's about meeting new people. And they are friend. Friends who make me better and give me some life's lessons.
2. I miss my hometown so much. At this time last year, I was spending a quality time with my Thai friends at the resort and we were so happy. But living my life here in Richmond is not bad and makes me smile every day.
3. The Adcenter is a place i can think freely and not afraid to express crazy thoughts. I know this school is shaping my mind and thought.
Thanks for stopping by this blog and giving a comment. I hope all my blog reader will have a good time and great holidays for 2007. Merry Christmas :)

Just came back from Bangkok Coffee Evening #10. Before we enjoyed eating adult ice-cream at Amaltery, a cocktail ice-cream shop, We did have dinner at Pola Pola restaurant. The good thing at this restaurant i happily found is their table cloth. They wrap a plain white paper sheet on the table as a table cloth with some crayons. We all doodled. I wrote "doodle" "brownie conspiracy" and i drew a man, a plant, colorful dots, stars, and etc. I also use this table cloth as a white board to explain media terms such as rating point, GRPs, and media target to Pikk, an AE at Hakuhodo. It was a great evening. We all enjoyed it so much.

A short note from me, I would like to cancel the Coffee Evening in Bangkok this Jan3,2007 due to the uncertainty of the situation (since the nine bombs exploded) in Bangkok. I hope the situation will be alright in 2-3 days then we can make an arrangement next week. God bless Thailand.

Our Coffee Morning Bangkok#1 was great. We got 3 people attended (Me, Pip - a planner and Pik - a planner.)While we were having some drinks, the discussed topics were agency's life, how media planning and strategic planning mix, the future of our coffee morning, and etc. We started our conversation by each other's introduction. I was very grateful, Pip is a smart, friendly, and pretty laidback person. Pik is new to the strategic planning world but she is energetic and vivacious. At the end of the meeting, we decided to localize our coffee morning to be dinner meeting which is more convenient to the majority.
Next Meeting Date : 3 Jan 2007
Time : 7.00pm
Venue : To be confirmed again, will pick one restaurant near BTS.
Next time, i will take some photos and post them. Sorry, no photo this time.
I got one comment from Pin and i need to say something without hesitation - Pin, pls accept my apology for not informing you about the urgent change of time from 8.00am to 8.30am. Would you mind if i will buy you a drink to show my gratitude for your forgiveness?
