Loi Kartong Festival!!!

Loi Kratong festival was tonight! At the festival my friends all went to light the lantern that floats in the sky and the Kratong that floats in the water. It was so beautiful! I also saw the Princess! When we put the Kratong in the water you make wishes. I guess you could say that I made many wishes, like good health, good grades in college...and blah blah blah. Also the lantern in the sky is suppost to show that you will go to heaven... That is how my friends explained it to me. I saw a lot of my classmates at Nongpajak park (where the festival was held at.) It seemed like everyone from my school was there. I heard 7,000 people usually go to the festival but I think there was a lot more then that.

Nong Khai!

I went to Nong with our maid, my host mother, and Nina to get our visas extended. I have to go back in January to the immigration office to get another extension since I was missing one school form. It was so much fun, after we went to Tesco and there was a Starbucks! ^_^ I got a green tea latte, of course!

There was a Chinese festival going on in Nong Khai that day. It was pretty fun because they had dragons, and fireworks! And people got possessed!!!! it was awesome!

twilight is coming to Thailand! yay!



Big fan of Twilight so when I saw the movie poster I got really excited! I got Nina into the whole twilight series too. ^_^ We went to Chantaburi this past weekend with all the other exchange students. It was pretty fun but I really do not like all the bugs here. ugh. In Chantaburi there was a fire guy...um and I painted a fence...thats pretty much it.

Out with my Thai friends! ^_^

I went to dinner with my friends from school. It was most likely the best time I have had so far! We went to this place near my home where you cook your own food, like shabu shabu. They wanted to go out and celebrate my birthday! A lot of people came so I was happy. The people that cam were; Pei, Dui, An, Mini, Pang, Sumate, Dong, Tao, First, Nart, Gee, and Date.

It was funny the whole time because they would say random things and thought I didn't understand when I did. Gee did that a lot! I wish they weren't so busy all the time cause then we could all hang out more! ^_^

Karaoke night....

My mother had a surprise birthday party for me at this Karaoke bar outside the city. I thought we were going to her friends house but when we pulled up into the parking lot i knew she had lies. I was so happy because my friend P'Mob was able to come to my party, even though he had final exams the very next day! P'Ked gave me bananas...its sweet but a total guy thing to do! ^_^ Everyone loves to sing here and karaoke is perfect for them! P'Ked lost his voice after the night was over!

It was a fun night, something that I will never forget!

my birthday!!!!

My 17th birthday was spent in Thailand...I have had two celebrations, one at the Rotary meeting, and the other at school. At school my teachers bought two cakes, one that said happy birthday in Thai and the other said it in English. One was vanilla and the other was chocolate favored with jelly candy on top.I was so surprised when I saw the cake because I didnt think that anyone would remember my birthday! This ia birthday that I will never forget! At the rotary meeting they had a cake with mini animals around the edges and in a heart shape.

school = nothing but isala.....

I have had four hours of free periods today (isala). I have only been to lunch with my friends and 30 minutes of health class. I am kinda bored now and the wireless Internet here does not let me get on to facebook......so I am forced to write in this blog that no one reads....... How sad my life is...

Well the good thing is that it is my last day at school tomorrow and then, HOLIDAY!!!! ^_^
