what a bad day today

Today, November, 30th, I woke up about 5.00 in the morning and made through my routine exercise. While I was having breakfast, Tid, my wife found that the Hilux Vigo had 2 flat tyres, right front and rear. Moreover, I found that the spare wheel had been stolen. Boonsong, who is helping our family took the wheels to the shop and found a few nails. There were three wounds in 2 tyres. For the disappeared spare wheel case, I called the Toyota Centre to buy one and have no answer yet. He said to call back in this afternoon. About 3.00pm, I have to go to the dentist to fill in a small cavity in a tooth. What a bad day today.



This was a key locking my spare wheel. The thief cut the iron rod above the key. Don't use this type of lock, money may be wasted, my wheel has already disappeared. Chavalvut Chainuvati

Pakchong with family and close cousins

May 26th was my daughter's birthday. She called me up as always, I was happy to talk to her. She and her family enjoyed my power point which I made for wishing her a happy birthday.

Last weekend, I and everyone in the family went to Pakchong to visit a very large farm that belong to my nephew's wife family. We spent the night there. It was a 400 rai farm growing custard apple[noi naa]and some mangoes. The farm looked modern and well care. There were some dipping pipes along with the trees. The areas were clean from weeds and the branches performance from pruning looked uniformed.

At night, we had a good time talking and laughing. The food hosted by my nephew's family were delicious. The first few people went to bed about 10pm but the younger generation finished about 4am. I went to bed about 3.30am that enjoyed my younger generation company. We liked the weather there too. I envied people who have farms in the countryside. They must be very healthy with self-growing food and fresh air. In the morning we met my nephew's family and enjoyed talking to them. They gave the good quality banana and jack fruit to us. On the way back, we stopped at the sweet corn farm[Suwan Farm] for fresh food shopping and headed back to Bangkok. Ended up with fried chicken at Kaiyang Nitaya Restuarant for lunch, then we got home in the afternoon.

According to my daughter birthday. I wish her and her husband a good lives together. Time is going fast. Don't waste it but enjoy every minutes of it. One day they may have a big farm like this by which I have not thought and got a chance to do it. I wish my children created many things for them in the far future. Chavalvut Chainuvati

Chiangmai May,15-17, 2009

We went to Chiangmai again to follow up the detached house my son was building for business. It was almost done. We also had some free time that we went to visit my long time friend[Titi] at Doisaket. Over there, we bought five kilogramme of garlic and went to Huaey kong krai Project to look at the Museum of Royal Projects around Thailand. Besides, I went to have northern style dinner at one of my close friend's house[Samai] as usual and this time, he invited our close friends to join, we had a very good time to bring back memory together.


Goat was the important meat which was shown at Huaey Kong Krai. It is easy to feed them. They are strong and eat a lot. We have goat in several areas but Down Southern Region was the wellknown place for goat raising.


An area of Huaey Kong krai which look good for living. I always love to live in nature and open air. Hoping that I will come back to live in the nature one day.


Eggplant tree with giant fruit. Eggplant is the common fresh food for Thai. We eat them with shrimp paste sauce and sometimes mixing in fried food or curry soup


Detached house was being built and almost finished. My son is willing to do the business with the house such as renting etc. I wish he was successful.


Grand pa and grand ma in the near future. We look forward to live in the countryside when Tid, my wife retires from work.

On the way back, we had 2 stops. First stop was at the Petroleum Station from Tak to kampaengpet. We had lunch in front of the coffee shop on round stone table under the tree. We bought fried meat and sticky rice from the open market in Chiangmai for lunch and ordered coffee from the shop. Second stop was the factory store in Singburi, we bought some pillows, blankets and mattress sheets. It was the strategy of the shop to make the golden minutes and asked customers to look at the lowest price goods. We bought them without consideration and ended up with paying a lot of money to the things we did not need. We arrived home at sunset. Chavalvut Chainuvati

positive thinking

Luckily, I got a book borrowing from my friend named "The Top Secret" was written by Dentist Som Sujira. Being a dentist, he also studied law, psychology and buddhism. He stated a lot of positive thinking in his book. A part as I mentioned in down below statement that we must always be thinking positively which would be recorded in subconscious mind. For example, instead of " I will not do a bad thing", we must think "I will do a good thing". A good thing would be recorded in subconscious mind instead of bad thing. Subconscious mind would direct us to a good thing as recording.

Besides, think positively could lead us to the happy lives. The word of forgiveness, would be in mind. if one did bad thing, tried to understand him and learnt that he did with some reasons. Ignored and made him changed.

With my understanding from the book, People were born with sin[kamma] from the last lives and would pay back or make a new sin[kamma] in this lives. people met and had interaction together because of sins they committed to each other in last lives. Remember "sins were paid back in this lives and might continue to next lives". The way to stop committing sins[kamma] was forgiveness and did not make anything in return. Positive thinking was the criteria of forgiveness. trying good thing and to think in good way to each other, we might be born in the better world.

There were five ways of a body to feel, they were looking, tasting, smelling, listening and touching. If we felt anything with blank idea with no demand, that was the best. But if we felt with positive idea, according to Buddhist principle, that will be good too.

if we met a man with negative thinking, it was hard to change him, we must increase positive power in our mind as much as possible. Our positive power might help a man to change. Don't broke up with bad mood.

My idea, in this solar system, lives exit only on the earh, Mercury is close to the sun and the climate must be too hot. Mars might be frozen whereas it is farther from the sun than the earth. Besides, the atmosphere around the earth are full of essential elements for lives, particularly, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Moreover, there are more elements which are the compounds for life facilities. Mankind, with complex brains have developed a lot of things until the situation nowaday exits. However, man still be under nature rule, being born,and dying. Everything will be in balance. For example in the dense population areas, people will be poor and mortality rate is high. Hunger is a main problem of those areas.

"Mee Namjai" is a magic word for Thais. It is "intention to please people" If one is in a queue and another one get in front of him, he then allows it with happiness. Other case, if one see a man having a problem on the road, he stops to help. This is "namjai" There are 4 items, kindness, helpfulness, sympathy and love[ no anger] for all, similar to Buddhist principle. Other similar good words are "humanity" and "compassion". Keep "namjai" with us

I am not concerned with the economic crisis but I learn that if people are good to each other. Every one help the society with faith, not thinking of self advantage, we all should go together. We will be on the earth not more than a hundred years atmost. Do good thing to the society for good memory. This is a way of positive thinking.

Yesterday, I had 3 cups of coffee. First in the morning, second about 1pm and third about 3pm. When I walked out of the underground during getting back home about 4pm, I felt my heart beating fastly, my left hand and left leg felt like suffering beriberi and later my brain was dazed and felt beriberi too. I suddenly rushed to the hospital. My blood pressure went up to 197 and 192[second time]. After investigation, the doctor let me back. But, until 1 am, my heart was still beating fastly and could not manage to sleep. I tried meditation[walked slowly and put my idea to the step of walking, then went to sleep with the idea of breathe in and breathe out] and then was able to sleep for a few hours. Yesterday, I thought it might be my last time in good health. Today, I got full set of medicine and must stop coffee completely. I don't know how longer I am going to live if taking medicine is compulsory until the life end. Next time I go to see the doctor, I must ask him if there is a way to stop medicine by using other natural course instead. I saw people taking medicine had not lived long. Last day will come anytime we never know. Chavalvut Chainuvati
