English Teacher: Don't use slangs.
Students: Why?
English Teacher: Speak the standard English!
Students: But why?
English Teacher: It is, because, "lower class" does that. stops and waits for students to respond and says again Don't you want to go to Harvard, or Yale? Don't you want to be called upper-class girls?
Most of the Students: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! We do want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did nothing but to remain quiet and thought that it was not a good enough reason to tempt me into not using slangs!

I'm thinking about how much I would like a nap.
Since last night I've been advised by my office here in Bangkok and by the hotel management to be alarmed as the government announced the state of emergency for Thailand (esp. in Bangkok) due to the military coup.

I didn't really aware on the political turmoil in this country until I got the news last night, but I did feel a little bit strange as public places are less crowded in the last few days, especially at night time. For foreigners who hve visited the city several times, less buzzing night life Bangkok is somewhat a parameter that there's something wrong going on in the city.
I'm supposed to call the embassy to be updated with current situation and precautionary action incase situation is getting worse and I need to leave the country. But the funny thing is, since I've experienced this kind of situation (state of emergency and riots) several times in my home country, I somewhat doesn't feel this feeling of emergency at all. I think I have become immune to this kind situation and I am in situation where I’m beginning to take this kind of thing less seriously.
thinking: I wish certain pieces of life just fell into place on their own and the situation doesnt appear so dismal. Why dont miracles happen? Why does everything require so much effort?
