Grand Opening - Brand Applique'

May 25 2009

Brand Applique store is now open. Although I designed the products, I have to admit they look really cool. (I'll keep some for myself.)
The cards are printed on the most expensive papers available
(thick card stock that has a very cool texture) to enhance the design. Modern. Clean. Period. The cards are so versatile you can use it for any occasion.

Don't forget folks - Shop away until you drop!

Here are products currently listed.

a.angkana&brand apliqué

May 12 2009

a.angkana's website is back in the game. After facing big failure to have it run properly because of limited internet speed in Thailand (standard upload&download speed is 1 MB as opposed to 5 MB in the US), I had been trying to figure out a way to build a blog-style look. Finally my website has had a new face lift. whoopee!!

I'm also launching my on-line shop at ETSY.com The official grand-opening is set in the next 2 weeks.
During the time, I'll let you get a glimpse of it by visiting Brand Appliqué page

please revisit my plus space when you can. I'll keep updating it on a regular basis.

Don't loose hope

May 5 2009

A lot of us have been in the same boat. It's a boat of hope that will never sink as long as we stay optimistic.
We may have to work harder, go out there and hunt down on any possible opportunity, then we will be ok.

I'm sharing this with you. The inspiration.

What? Am I officially 35 (!)

APRIL 9 2009

35 years ago, I was born into the world on this day, the ninth of April. Since then, I've been fond of the '9'. It has always been my lucky number. I had made a big birthday plan for this special day but it went down the drain because of Politics crap (again).
The anti-government rally is going overboard. At this exact moment they're making a demonstration but not in the allowed area. They're stomping down several streets, which happen to be in the heart of the city causing traffic chaos and streets shutdown. I was on my way to meet up with Tim and Toon for dinner & drinks but had to run back home for safety's sake. Nobody knows how nasty it's going to turn out. Anyway, I've completed my mission today - things I wanted to do on my birthday. At least I'm not wasting my entire day on that silly demonstration.
Thanks to you who remembers my birthday. Thanks for the text messaging, emails, phone calls, e-birthday card, and live birthday song over the phone - they all have made my day. some little thing that made me smile - better than expensive presents. Happy birthday to me.. in the next 5 years, it won't matter and I would stop counting... Alas.

(APR 14 2009) Political Update: It's ended.. bravo! I think they must have been satisfied with their accomplishment - to show the world how uncivilized the country is. Bad apples. sigh...

Job Hunting

March 21 2009
I had been procrastinating on writing the entry. But thinking you may want to know what's happening in my life so here it is... I'm back on a job-hunting market again. There came a sudden and shocking announcement on the 10th of this month - the closure of Bangkok head quarter office; resulting from the worldwide impact of the recession, our business is in the luxury, high-end services which is nice-to-haves but not the must-haves. Most of us took the news in a calm and professional manner. On a positive note, out of generosity of CEO, we've got a decent surveillance package that'd keep us sane for a long while.

My last day of employment is March 31. After that, I have to start looking into my career path.. my goal.. and possibilities.. I always keep my options open and this time I need to get it into the right direction. Time is so precious I can't afford to loose a single minute wandering in a wrong direction. Nervous but also excited about my future as things always happen for a reason.

Since last week I started freelancing for an ad agency. The freelancing option works best at this time as I need some time to figure something out. In retrospect, I had turned down a few freelance projects - thinking I prefer to use up my energy on my business to someone else's. Surprisingly, freelancing was not a bad idea at all. I had so much fun on that project. The deadline was tight I had to be up all night to finish it. I got my adrenaline pumping and going, like I was high the entire time. I love that feeling! Now I know my passion for design will never go away from me...

and as always... unti then...
