The Most Scared in My Life
On April 2009, I went to Similun Island with my brother and my colleagues about 9 persons. It is in Phang-nga province in the south of Thailand. We drove 2 cars started from Bangkok at noon and arrived Phang-nga in the next early morning.
After that we took a speed boat to Similan Island. On the way to Island, we dropped in the sea and snorkeled (used snorkel and swam to see marine animals and corals). At the first place, when I snorkeled, I had a colic and nausea because I slept not enough and it had strong waves in the sea. Therefore, when I got on the speed boat again, I vomited. After that I got better and enjoyed it.
A next day in Similun Trip, we had many place to snorkel. At the last place, tour guides dropped us far from the snorkel position because there was many stones in the sea and the boat couldn't go. Meanwhile my friends and my brother went down to the sea, I took photos for them. So that I was the last person who went down. At the same time, I went down and started to snorkel. I snorkeled for a long time but I didn't see my friends. I only saw dark blue water around me. I was lonely and very scared. Therefore, I showed up my head to see where they were. Suddenly, I was very far from they and boat. My brother beckoned his hand and swam to me. He asked me "Are you OK? Why are you here? This is danger zone.". I was very tired because the strong waves carried me away. He helped me through swam and pulled me to secure zone. When I got there, the sky was dark look like rainstorm will come. We hurry went on the boat and after that there was much rain.

I wanted to know this faculty study about what and when I graduate what kind of the job I can do. This was a hard work for student from high school but I could complete it. Now I am studying in faculty that I love, the subject that I like even thought my grade will not good. However, I will do the best and try to be a good logistic manager that follows my dream occupation.

The University of Fine Arts.
Silpakorn University is my favorite place. I like to go to there because when I study here, it's make me happy and funny.
Silpakorn is different from another University. Because student don't have uniform. They can choose their own clothes. Student can express their personalities. Both look good and strange.
For example, P' Jato (จ่าโท), he study painting. He like to wear second hand shirt and pants. His hair is FOO FOO never touch shampoo long time hahaha. His face look like barbarian, never smile.But he is very nice and generous. When I ask him for help he never refuse me.Then, I know that don't decide people from outside.
On Sep 15, I must to go here every year. Because this is memorial Day at Silpakorn. They have many activities; concert , shop souvenir for clothes, necklace and ring. Moreover, at 20.00 pm. We have to make light candle and sing a song Santa Luccia for recall my prof. Sil Bhirasri.

A Little About Myself - Supinya
Hi everyone,
My name is Supinya. My nickname is Aey. I was born at Nakhon Nayok province. I am an eldest sister of family. I have 2 yourger sisters. Currently, I work for Procter & Gamble (Thailand) company (P&G) for almost 6 years. The P&G is an American company which produces consumer products in many brands such as Pantene, Head&Shoulder, Oil of Olay and others. I am a Site Microbiologist. I work in QA department. My responsibilities are Micro lab management such as when we detected bacteria or pathogen in finished products, also I handle investigation to find the root caused of contamination. Most of all, I enjoy to work here because I have good colleagues.
Currently, I live at Bangna district nearby Central Bangna shopping mall. It's convenience to go shopping, see the movies and exercise at the fitness center. I am a member of fitness first, I like to do bicycling, body combat and body jam classes. I also like outdoor sport activities such as swimming, diving and playing tennis. In reason to exercise it reduces my stress after working long day and good for my health. When I have a chance time off from work on long vacation. I would travel to upcountries or abroad. It is a good relaxing time and recharge my life. Especially, Thailand has many natural interesting places. I would go to climbing mountains in the north of Thailand. And I like to diving the ocean in the south too. So, I love to travel in Thailand.
In my spare time, I like to chat in MSN messenger and access internet searching. Sometimes I practice English grammar from internet by reading and listening to live radio news in BCC website. But, it is quite difficult to understand because of speaking too fast. In the other skill - writing I always use wrong grammar. Therefore, I would like to improve English skills. These are reasons that I made decision to register the courses - General Writing 1 and Natural English at AUA.

A Little More About Myself - Michael
In my first "About Me" post, I said that I like to read. I didn't always enjoy reading. I think I first enjoyed reading when I was in college, when I started to read "The New York Times." Quickly, I learned that I could stay in touch with the world by checking the paper every morning.
Then, I took a class about the history of New York City. We read a biography about a very famous city planner, Robert Moses. The name of the book was "The Power Broker," and it was written by Robert Caro. It's a huge book - more than 1,000 pages. I enjoyed reading about how New York City was modernized in the 20th Century, and how this one man played such a big role in the city's development.
Recently, I discovered that Robert Caro wrote other biographies. He wrote a 3-volume biography about an American president, Lyndon Johnson. Johnson was president when I was a young boy, in the 1960's. Those were very difficult times for the US because of social changes and the war in Vietnam. I started to read these biographies and I'm almost finished with the third one. Like "The Power Broker," they are huge. Each is more than 1,000 pages. Sometime I think it's amazing that I have read 3,000 pages about one person, but I love how Robert Caro writes, and his books really hold my interest. The only problem is that the books are so heavy! I can't take them with me when I travel around Bangkok.

About Me - Michael
Hi everybody. I'm a teacher and supervisor at AUA Language Center in Bangkok. I spend most of my time in the office, but I love when I get to teach a class! I usually teach Special Courses, because part of my job is to manage them.
Before I came to Thailand, I lived and worked in New York City for about twenty years. Mostly, I worked as a city planner and in the music business. I was also a classical radio announcer for a few years, which was fun. I studied city planning in university, and played the french horn in college.
I like to spend my free time at home or with friends. Mostly, I really love to read and work in the garden. I also like to build things, like cabinets, and fix things around the house. Sometimes I cook, but I'm no expert! On weekends I like to get together with friends, go to restaurants or a movie, or just meet for a coffee. I spend an hour or so on the computer every day, usually reading the news, writing emails, or doing projects for work. Sometimes I go swimming at the Navy sports complex near Bitec. Soon I hope to buy a bicycle and explore my new neighborhood, Bang Na.
Before I came to Thailand, I lived and worked in New York City for about twenty years. Mostly, I worked as a city planner and in the music business. I was also a classical radio announcer for a few years, which was fun. I studied city planning in university, and played the french horn in college.
I like to spend my free time at home or with friends. Mostly, I really love to read and work in the garden. I also like to build things, like cabinets, and fix things around the house. Sometimes I cook, but I'm no expert! On weekends I like to get together with friends, go to restaurants or a movie, or just meet for a coffee.

Welcome to our class blog. This is where we can share ideas, news, and get lots of extra practice writing. We'll use this blog as an informal way to build our writing and reading fluency. I hope everyone visits and uses the blog several times a week. If you have time, explore the potential of our blog. For example, you might want to learn how to add pictures and links to videos. The more we use our blog, the more fluent we become!
See you online and in class!
Michael
