INTHEMIRROR Getting vain about veins

09/02/2012 : Have you got reddish or blue-purplish swollen twisted veins that look like cords showing through the skin under your eyes or on your thighs, calves and ankles? Do you like the look of it? Or are you worried it could be a symptom of something bigger or a sign of early ageing?
FLORAL JOURNEYBeauty bountiful

08/02/2012 : Especially in Eastern cultures, flower symbolism plays a significant role in the way the people use and associate themselves with those little pretty things with petals we call flowers. And my new discovery is that fruit symbolism does pretty much the same. In every culture around the globe, fruits symbolise fertility, joy and happiness. Together with flowers, fruits have long graced the dining tables of royalty and nobility as a modest display of abundance in lives.

Choosing a school is no child's play
07/02/2012 : I spent nine years in all girls' school, from primary to middle school.

Pedal power in the park
06/02/2012 : The "Cycle-lizing Bangkok Fest" on Feb 25, offers a rare opportunity to cycle in Lumpini Park from 3pm to 8pm. (Bicycles are usually only allowed in the park between 10am and 3pm.) Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Green World Foundation, the event's highlight will be a one-of-a-kind stage show with the lighting generated by human power. Thirty bicycles will be connected to electric generators and 60 cyclists will take turns pedalling to power the lights. There will be performances by Sqweez Animal, Nathapol "Kor" Srijomkwan, Apartment Khunpa, Chulachak "Hugo" Chakrabongse and his cyclist friends. Short films about cycling will be screened and accompanied by live music. Those turning up with a bike can join the "Saturday Night Bike Fever" cycling tour to Chinatown which will take place after the stage performances. To reduce the use of plastic bags and bottles in the festival, participants are encouraged to bring their own tote bag and water bottle. Coming by bicycle or public transportation is also advised.
