I don’t think much about my lucky color when it comes to car buying, seriously if I’ve to rely on my lucky color, I would be in big trouble because I don’t know what it is. As for me, I think your lucky color should be your favorite color, what’s the point of having a Red car, Red being your lucky color when you hated Red.

My last car purchase was not so much about the color, in fact I didn’t have that choice, it was more of what it has, and what I need it for. A car to me is a transportation that gets me from point A to point B and it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but it has to be a fuel efficient vehicle that has a 4 wheel drives, and luckily there was only one at the dealership so I didn’t have to decide on the color, works for me, I’m still driving that car till this day.

As we all know that most people are not happy with what they have, not surprised to read in a Thai Magazine about car buying and to be prosperous it has to be in your lucky color.  So who determines this lucky color? The fortune teller of course. This might be comical for you to read, and not everyone is like this, but for many, they would go to a fortune teller for their problems, and according to the fortune teller, lucky color can bring good fortune and prosperity in everything that you do, so who wouldn’t want this?

I wish the picture of this car was in color, but then again it’s pointless if you can’t read Thai language, and it might be a good thing that it’s in black and white because this car is actually Black, but the sticker read, “This car is Green color”

A bit confused? I would be too, and for some that don’t understand the reasoning behind this, you would think what the heck, is the owner color blind? Not really, the owner is not color blind and is mentally sound, I think.  But the sticker is for good luck because the owner lucky color is Green, and Black car was jinxing his/her luck and to reverse this is to put the sticker on, problem solved.  Well then, why not buy a Green car to begin with? I guess s/he found out after s/he made the purchase that Green is the lucky color.

Interesting I thought, I can’t say that I believe about lucky color, but one thing that I do believe is that if you don’t believe, don’t mock, and a good thing that I still don’t know my lucky color, otherwise I might have the need to run out and get a sticker, then people would really wonder about me.

Hi there, thanks for tuning in, if you are new here or not so new, but tune in everyday and only saw part of the post and just might not know it.

My GI Joe sister tunes in almost everyday but I can’t say that she saw every pictures that I posted, she often asked me, “where did you put it? I only saw a few pictures.” I tried to explain to her on the phone, but it didn’t help because she was not seeing what I’m seeing. I finally had a chance to sit down and show her, see the Read the rest of this entry >> below, you can click at that and read the rest of this post, I only do this when the post is very long.

Global warming has always been my main concern, when I wrote a post of Cow Farts: Global Warmers Or A Load Of Hot Air?, most people that knew me thought I was crazy then, but think about it, we’ve lots of cows here in the US and elsewhere, and they do fart, then there must be lots of hot air, but is it enough to cause global warming? I guess living in the country is not all about fresh clean air after all, might have to put up with the cow farts as well.

Then the recent news of cow poop caused fire burning in California, those that used to laugh at me actually thought of my cow farts post that I did, and of course they thought of me, still laughing about it though, and I kept thinking to myself,  farts from cows people, it’s methane gas and not laughing gas, I don’t think they get it. I do love cows and water buffaloes, as for now their business is fine with me, and if it does cause some hot air, hopefully someone that think like me would come up with a solution.

Global warming is not a laughing matter, we’ve to do our part to help protect mother earth.Today is Blog Action Day and the topic is Climate Change, also known as Global Warming.

As for me, I like to do my part as well, I try to carry my own cloth bags when I go grocery shopping.  I think it’s time to save oil and wildlife by curbing use of plastic bags, the statistic from the Buffalo News is very scary, no laughing at my news source please.

According to the article, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency says that more than 500 billion bags are used worldwide each year. Less than one percent of those bags are recycled. Why? The economics simply does not work: it costs $4,000 to process and recycle one ton of plastic bags, which is then worth $32.

Our National Academy of Sciences reported in 1975 that oceangoing vessels dumped 8 million pounds of plastic annually. The rest, of course, ended in landfills or, even worse, sewers. For many of those plastics neither is the end of the line. They have been found north of the Arctic Circle near Spitzbergen and as far south as the Falkland Islands. They account for more than one-tenth of the debris washed up on the U. S. coastline.

  • Funky Town by Phone Phoummithone

I had to work late yesterday, and didn’t think I’d make it to my co-worker’s son birthday party.  Then the birthday boy stopped by and personally invited me, twice he reminded me “…don’t forget, it starts at 6:30 tonight.”

It rained on the way there, the place was starting to get busy with kids running around, and her family gathered near the entrance and I saw a man walking over to the Mechanical Bull, I asked my co-worker if he were her cousin, she said, “Who, him?  He’s my brother!”  She said that I could blog about him, see how long he’d last on this “Mechanical Bull”…only a few second.

After he found out what  I was going to do with the photos, he looked at me and said, “You’re crazy!”  I told him, “Hey, I’m not the one on the Mechanical Bull and being airborne.”  He showed me his injury, bruises and scratches, thanks for the good laugh, closeup image, and to think that I’m the crazy one :) .

The birthday boy saying grace before meals.

Cake time, Happy Birthday little man.

This is a translated article based on a real life story from Koosang Koosom Magazine, written by Mr. Nhandom from Lampang in Thai Language, translated by Nye.

[Definition: “Nung” in Thai and Lao language has two meanings, one being the DVD movies, or another as dried Buffalo skin, the usage of the word “Nung” can be confusing, the meaning depends on how it’s being used.]

I live in San Diego California, and have a friend that’s a young lady from Laos, her name is Vankeo.  At the end of 2008 (Thai year 2551) Vankeo had to return to Laos after only been living in America for 2 years because her father became very ill, he was diagnosed with the last stage of cancer.  She had so many obstacles prior to returning home, and the worst part was the plane ticket.

She bought her plane ticket from a Lao tour company that she saw their commercial on Lao TV broadcast from California.  On the day of her traveling, she arrived at the airport but couldn’t check in because the last name on her plane ticket and her passport didn’t match.  It’s true that she lacked the experience, and the tour company didn’t help her any.

At the end, she had to return the plane ticket without any refund and had to purchase another ticket from another company, which this time the owners of the Thai restaurant that she works for had helped made the arrangement to purchase the plane ticket for her, even then, her travel was delayed for 4-5 days and she missed her only chance that she couldn’t turn back the time.  Her father passed away while she was on the airplane, but if she were to travel the day of her first booked ticket, then she would have enough time to say her final goodbye.  She didn’t want anyone to make the same mistake as her and be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th…case because when she returned to her birthplace this time, she thought that she would get to see her father for the last time.   But things happened, she took care of her business then returned back to America.

Vankeo arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport with 2 briefcases, she went through the immigration check point with much difficulty since she is very petite and traveled by herself, even though she was 27 years old, but she looks 19-20.  They checked her luggage, but no one knew what had happened to her that day until she returned to her home in San Diego.  She then came back to work the following day.

If you were thinking, what the heck!?!  I’m with you there.

It couldn’t be that Bo is so fascinated with the rice paddy and decided to convert our front yard into a rice field. I’ve mentioned before that the grass seems greener on the other side, no kidding this time.  So Bo has sometime off and decided that he was tired of looking at his brown grass, I think it’s almost comical to see him out there working in his grass paddy.  This is not the first time I’ve seen this, when we were living at our old house, he tilled up 1/2 acre of our front and backyard, so this is very little in comparison to his previous project.

He has got the right idea, this is the best time to grow grass since the weather is a lot cooler, and you also get the benefit from the rains during the hurricane season.  But in his case, he is taking it to the extreme, most people just plug their yard and reseed, not tilling up the yard like this.  Honestly, I don’t think he is laughing right now, I will keep you posted.

He borrowed his mom’s Mantis, this would be perfect for me to expand my garden as well.

Updated: Our front yard was sod, and it turned brown during the summer months, and Bo is seeding this with Zenith Zoysiagrass used by Major League, it’s 99.90% Zenith Zoysiagrass, 0.01% Other Crop, 0.08% Inert Matter and 0.01% Weed Seed.  It is known to be trouble-free, drought tolerant, slow growing grass, which chokes out all other grasses and seldom need mowing. His landscaper’s friend told him about this, and it will stay green all year round, requires very little maintenance, so this is the Lao LazyMan’s yard.
