Three words for Ching-Cha, a recommended comic books.

Title: Ching-Cha
Story&Illustration: Wisut Ponnimit
Genre: Comic
Publisher: a book
Price: 235/245/255 Baht



According to comments on my last post about books with pictures  and books that most people around me is mostly talking about right now, I have decided to recommended a comic book named Ching-Cha (comes from a protagonist's name) which is a series about a simple girl who one day found out that herself do have a supernatural power. Also, she is wondering something about life. Then the story goes, she meets many strange creatures, faces many difficult obstacles, and so on.

As three words I have mentioned above:

• Fascinated The writer is so creative. The story is attractively written with high imagination, so you will enjoy reading it.
• Unpredictable Base on its imaginary plot, the writer's idea is unpredictable. Many many unpredictable and complicated situations happen to the protagonist. That's why the story is undoubtedly fun. In addition, the story is not written neither in chronological order nor flash back, but the time order is mixed up. The written style is quite unique. Many complicated states and mixed time order might at first be a bit confused, but It's not too difficult to understand when you gradually get use to its style of storytelling--which, for me, it is one of reasons why this story is so attractive.
• Informative This is not just a simple comic, but it carries lots of idea about life and living--through short speeches--which you could adopt. During the adventure of the protagonist, she gets many answers and ideas about living. I think that the book is not written for kids because the ideas are quite complex and some of the content is adulterate, so writer's target must be the age(at least)around ten-something and older. Furthermore, different ages or people will get some different ideas.

That's all why I want to recommended this wise comic book. If you are now going to read it, you better read in order(1-2-3) so that you won't get confuse; the first one is like an introduction.

5 Spring 'n Summer Tips

When it comes to summer, sweating is what you hate when it comes to wearing make up. These are some tips I normally use to avoid the smudgy and oily face during sun time.


first of all, drinks tons of water..you skin needs it to refresh itself and water is also a way to avoid sunburn! cause when your skin is in good quality the dead skin cells can be easily take care of, it won't stuck into your pore anymore.


Next, try using BB cream instead of full coverage foundation.. BB creams are very popular in Asia. BB creams are like  your skin moisturizer but it gives you some coverage to make your skin radiant and glow but still keeps your natural beauty of your skin to be able to peak through the cream. Unlike foundation, where it covers all your skin and building up a new skin shade on your face..and ended up oily and cakeky at the end of the day. 


Third tips is to use water base moisturizing cream or body lotion...in the hot sun, I am pretty sure you don't like that sticky feeling of lotion and leaving you some redness on your skin at the end of the day...So, try out some water base lotion...or gel type one..it is easily absorb into your skin and giving your skin a little bit of sun protection too.


Fourth, wear less make up! I know I know, wearing less make up can reduce a girls confident but actually, wearing less make up can keeps your natural beauty stays with yoiu longer... you skin will get old faster and starts to wrinkle and get fine lines easier if you wear a lot of make up... Take it easy, starts some new routine!... wear some BB creams and highlighter can really make a different!!.. follow up with some blusher and a lip gloss....also, with some water prove mascara! there you go! a new face with your natural beauty!


My last tips is to wear comfy clothes... wearing jeans at this time of year can easily drives me crazy form the heat of the sun! starts wearing some skirt or shorts instead!...for the upper parts, why don,t you try some cute bikini pair with a ten-top or some cut-line t shirt. Or, go for short skirts and mini dress for cuter and girly look!

Travel Tips: How to fast-track your way through airport security!

Bored of getting stuck at the airport security line? I am sure many of you have had an airport security nightmare. Here are some tips I can guarantee will help you get through the line fast.

Pack Smart

• Pack your carry-on bag in neat layers. Separate clothes from electronic devices such as cameras, radios, or chargers. This will help security officers see what's in your bag clearly when it passes through the x-ray machine.
• Remember NOT TO put sharp equipment in your carry-on bag, or leave them in you hand bag. Students like us always carry cutter knives or small scissors to school. Just don't carry them on the plane with you.
• Ladies, you can't bring the whole face-cleanse with you on the place! All liquid needs to be 3.4 ounces (about 100 grams) or less, and has to be stored together in a zip-top bag.
• I know you want to surprise your friend, but DO NOT wrap your presents. The security officers have to unwrap the presents anyway. 
• Consider buying a security friendly laptop bag, so you don't have to waste time getting your laptop in and out of your bag.

Security Friendly Laptop Bag

Dress Smart

• It would be wise if you "undress" in advance. Remove jewelries, keys, cell phones, anything metallic, and put them all together in a zip-top bag. This will save you a lot of time picking the things up individually. 
• Wear shoes that can be taken on-off quickly. Shoes with shoelaces are the ones you want to avoid. Choose shoes that you don't need to sit down to put back on.
• Keep your jacket in your carry-on bag, and take it out when you are on the plane. You have to take the jacket off at the checkpoints, and these things can be very shaggy!

You can't avoid going through the security line, but you sure can avoid getting stuck there if you follow these rules!

Slow Book 

Slow Life

Name: Slow Book

Author: Thong-Garn (ต้องการ)

Publisher: a book

Price: 220 Baht

>>If you feel tired or bored of a hurried urban living…

>>If you are interested in eco-living in order to safe your happy life and our lovely earth…

>>If you want a “slow life”

BUT…

What exactly is a slow life?

How could I have a slow life even in an urban society?

…Slow Book could give a lot of help.

It is not that hard to tell you why this book should be highly recommended.

• Firstly as you see a cover picture, although the illustration looks simple, it is very lovely. Also inside the book, many illustrations —drawn and painted by the author, herself,—are placed in order to describe texts and just for fun, so you could enjoyably read through the book.

• Secondly, Thong-Garn describes all every (little) detail clearly in the easy words, so readers could understand all the information about slow life undoubtedly.

• And the last reason is that the author has successfully been a slow life people. She has been following the slow-life ways for years before the book was written; she clearly explained everything she had experienced.  Also, she has learnt a lot as she mentioned in many worldwide resources on the text. That is why the book is so believable.

Furthermore, I just find other book about slow life named Sha-Sha-Noi Slow Life which is also interesting. It newly showed on bookstores’ shelves.

Anyway after I superficially read the  new book, Slow Book is still be the number one recommended book about slow life as it is much easy to understand even for starters. The new one is kind of talking about conception of slow life more than explaining that basic information and process of the slow life as in Slow Book, so you better read Slow Book first.

Thanks for reading!
