We have a new prime minister. He is a great man! He is exactly the kind of person this country needs. This is an interview with Samak Sundaravej the newly elected prime minister of Thailand. This man runs the country now. Best thing that could have happened to Thailand! Just see for yourself and check this interview. Glad to have such a person running this country.
Launching our brand is like running a marathon just that the finishing line runs as well and we are chasing it. But hey, things make progress and that is what matters ey. I also live again which slows things down. I go to the gym, sleep and eat at certain times every day and also spend time with my baby. Yeah but things are cool. Sport seems to be my new shit. Even though I still carry my little belly with me like I’m pregnant in the third month I feel way better and get really something out of working out.
I had the same when I was riding mountainbike. It just feels so fuckin good if you push yourself hard to the limit and start to feel your body. Anyway here is a little video update with recommendations.
The Nines: F#ck this movie. If you have an enemy and want to make his life 2 hours shorter just recommend this movie. They stole 2 hours of my life with this piece of christian religious crap.
We own the night: Title already sounds good and so is the movie. 80s gangster vs cop movie with all elements that we love. Drugs, girls, parties and violence.
The Assassination of Jesse James: Cool movie, nothing super special but well worth a look. Didn’t like the end though. Nobody fucks with Jesse!
Rendition: Cool movie about how lame the US secret service can be. Really worth checking it out.
Elizabeth: Decent movie about the life of Elizabeth the Great for all those into historical themes. Was alright.
He was a quiet man: Really liked this one. The quiet guy that fantasizes about killing everyone. Go and get them!
Hitman: Yeah the movie for the successful computer game. A good action flick. Can’t expect much. But nice action orgy with a lot of kills of course.
List could go on but hey I got to go now and meet a friend at the infamous Khao Sarn road. Guess what he is there with two Swedish girls… hahaha well he should stick to local fruits in a lush country like Thailand eh!
Yeah the bird flu is back in town! Not yet in Bangkok though… but 210 km north of here more than 5000 chicken have this evil H5N1 virus. The scary thing not many people know about the bird flu it is the same kind of virus that mutated and was the reason for the spanish flu that killed 1918 - 1920 50 Million people worldwide. Wicked innit? That’s more than Aids killed in 20 years! Ah life in Thailand is just so much more thrilling!!! Hope this virus won’t screw us anytime soon…
Things are good over here. Somehow I’m kinda happy right now after being sick the last week and the problems with my Grandma. Life goes on.
Here are my movie recommendations (+++ means its a must see, ++ very good, + it was good):
- Last King of Scotland: Really dope movie, well worth your time +++
- Eastern Promises: Damn nice russian mafia movie +++
- TheInvasion: Cool sci fi drama ++
- I Am Legend: Will Smith lonely in a world with no hope. Cool storyline, didn’t really like the end though ++
- The Kingdom: Some folks investigate a terrorist attack in the Middle East +
- Death Sentence: Regular guy starts a bloody revenge, the movie starts to get good towards the end +
- Heima: Wonderful and impressive documentation about Iceland and the band Sigur Ross +++
I really hope people who have a family appreciate that. In these hours the mother of my dad will die. She fell and has some injury on her brain. The docs say she won’t last long. It’s crazy that I already lost so many important people in my life. My father, my grandfather and now grandmother. With her dieing right now an whole era ends for me. My grandparents became really important for me after my fathers dead. I learned there in the weeks before my final exam every day. They enabled me to study in Australia. They cared about me.
In these days i feel like my life stands still and I look back and see where I am. In this respect even while its so sad to lose her it lets me realize again what live is all about and how quick it can end. One wrong step and its over.
I would do everything to get my father back but it won’t happen. Thinking about this hurts so much but whatever, you just realize how important some things are as soon as you don’t have them anymore. If you read this and still have your parents be grateful.
The good thing about everything that happened is that it made me stronger. Yeah, no matter what it is I can’t stop, won’t stop living the best life possible. I guess if I would not have lost those who I love in the past, I might not have realized yet how precious life is.
I’m happy that I have my girl who is just so pure and good through and through it’s just beautiful to see her every day and how she does things, how she thinks about the world. She is so good it is really unreal and I know I have found someone really special.
I’m also happy about my best friends. Even though I don’t see them much and they are far away they are and will be down for whatever. That’s good to know.
At the end of the day I’m just happy that i live a real life. I experience both the good and the bad sides. If I look at it from an distant perspective both are good. All bad experiences and all the pain makes me really appreciate the good things in life.
Yeah we planned to have a barbecue but we even skip that. We just work work work work. That’s cool though. Next year we will have christmas with styyyyyle back in supercold Germany. Knick knack im back to work.
It’s also “winter” here in Bangkok and usually temperatures should be around 25°, but not this year… Here is the BBC weatherforecast for Bangkok. It will stay around 33 - 36° for the coming days… Damn!
We now already planed our little Xmas celebration. My girl has to deliver some products to her clients that day so we will just have a barbeque in the evening. Yeah, yeah. Next year I will do everything I can to just spend two weeks around Xmas in Europe.
I watched Stardust yesterday and got to say it roooooooooooocks! Its a really nice fantasy story with beautiful scenery and even though it has a lot of popular elements in it the mix is just right. Really nice movie.
I didnt post here that much because I’m like always busy busy. I just design our company homepage and and and… Well January. The golden January will be the day when we hit the masses. We consider a soft launch (a launch without much promotion) before in Japan though.
Merry Xmas! I probably forget even when xmas is. Every day is the same for me. Get up, drink a cappuccino & eat an apple, work, honey cooks for me, eat, work, 5 min break contemplating about my life, work, work, 5 min break contemplating about my life, work, honey cooks for me, work, check all relevant news & forums, shower, watch a movie, sleep…. Rinse and repeat :X
I know I do this for my future… long term goals outweigh short term pleasure…
I really feel pissed off by what many companies such as Nike do. They pay their workers in Vietnam less than they need to live and promote a supernice image of themselves in the western world. They portray the image of successful athletes, winners on themselves while their factory workers are the complete losers in this game.
Same with idiots like Christian Audigier (the guy who made Von Dutch famous) that design ugly sh!t and just sell it via celebrity product endorsement to the stupid masses. So lame…
Soon when our brand launches we are in the same market of lies, manipulation and corporate bullshit. It seems you got to be an asshole and sell your soul to be successful. I’m not sure if I can do that. I read all those branding, marketing, management, psychology, copywriting books wah wah…. and know a little bit how to do what. I seriously hope we will have success and still stay cool. Good people who don’t bullshit customers. I just can’t do it but if this is the only way to succeed…. damn.
We were all ready to launch next Monday… and then… we found out we really have to stick to this shitty textile act that forces us to put all sorts of information and labels on our garments. I don’t know… yeah its us who should be blamed. Earlier proper research would have saved us this shit. The “problem” right now is just that if we don’t get the labels done in the next 10 days it makes no sense to launch our brand this year anyway because of all the xmas and new years madness that will jam the media outlets. Then is no room for us…. so we might have to wait until early January. Mad gay such b#llsh!t. F#ck all these rules and regulations, I really like this here in Thailand. Less rules for a lot of things. Anyway, bad bad news that is today..
