Outside the modern comfort of apartment life, the downpours sweeping through Phuket become more frequent and increasingly heavier. This final week of July, 2011 C.E. / 2554 B.E. has marked the start of another rainy season, which soon signals the Siamerican’s 28th birthday. Along with the renewed reminder of mortality comes the realization that a decade [...]
On the first Wednesday of the year, it was getting late. Midnight hour in the near distance, emptying the fourth pint of the golden bitter home brew, I was beginning to feel tipsy. As fluxing international circles of social oblivion blurred into illusive perspectives, internally thoughts flashed back to earlier in the day of large [...]
In this thirteenth week since my accident, my calendar counts 93 days of this new life. Three months might as well have been three years or even 30 years for that matter.
