Holidays' greetings!!

shico guHello AnD fellows,

It has been a while...I hope everyone is doing well...

I have been busy myself with projects/teaching/chasing love/staying (in)sane....among many things...

So lets catch up. First off, I would like to  say

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

and to also extend my warmest regards and best wish to everyone. This time of the year is just a reminder for me that life always goes on, and how fast time flies. I am grateful that everyday I can see, smell, experience life and people...these expereinces are sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter..but it is just a reflection of the world we live in. There is no real contenment and sorrow. Things come and go....And that life goes on, until it can't anymore..

I wish the best to you all for all that life will bring-joy, happiness, health, love, properity, and great memory.

Now onto the next....

Last week, while walkig to Bed Supperclub here in Bangkok, I stumbled upon these two brothers who were sleeping on the foot path. Found out that they didnt know who their fathers were (same mother, different fathers). They were from country side and moved to Bangkok to be with a grandfather. The grandfather asked them to come beg for money at night to support the him..

So I took some pictures. The little one was 14 and the bigger one was 15. Life on their own in Bangkok was tough...And I felt sad witnessing that, especially for young boys who seem to be mistreated and abused by family members.

Also, this past weekend, I went to the beach with two of my closest new friends, greg and kazue, and we did some pictures while there.. so please check it out.

Also, I am working on a project with a non-profit organization in Ayuddaya that runs an elephant stay. So I went to visit and talk with them the other day...The place is really amazing, full with elephants and people who love and care for them. They use these elephants as a tourtist attraction and offer an elephant ride for a small fee, to get the place going.

I took some pictures while there and we had a small mini party as well. Check the pictures out.

Until next time,

xoxo
