#FatherFigure
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 04/12/2015
» As a single mother, one of the most awkward holidays of the year is Father’s Day (it’s a close tie with Valentine’s Day). You hear these wonderful stories about fathers and can’t help but wonder if your child is missing out, despite the fact that you’ve tried your absolute best, with the occasional “oops” here and there, to give them a warm, happy upbringing.
#Analyse #AnalLies

» I would like to start this editor’s note with something I learned a long time ago in my reasoning class. One of the (few) things that have managed to stick to my brain is when my teacher told me, “Just because we have never seen a green swan does not prove they do not exist.”
Food for thought
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 20/11/2015
» Here's a little challenge for you. Find an eatery that 1) is located in the downtown Sukhumvit area 2) is air-conditioned and well-decorated 3) charges less than 100 baht per meal and 4) has its own parking area (kerbside parking doesn't count). Not easy, right? And no, your friend's bachelor pad doesn't qualify.
#TheParentingGame
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 13/11/2015
» One of the roles of your parents is to embarrass you in public. You can’t blame them, because they don’t do it on purpose — it’s something they are naturally programmed to do.

» As 2016 approaches, the mandatory stories on my Facebook feed concern next year’s lucky and unlucky zodiac signs, and what to wear to enhance your fortune. Isn’t that convenient? Wear a particular colour and you’ll be problem-free all year!
#KeepOnFearing
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 30/10/2015
» We all had a lot of silly fears as a kid -- clowns, dogs, vegetables, certain relatives and even our own toys. As we grew up, most of those childish fears melted away, replaced by new, equally silly ones. Somehow, at age 30, we end up the same big scaredy cat we were as a five-year-old.
#Marketing101
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 23/10/2015
» Hands up if you're annoyed by those people at department stores who suddenly jump in front of you and try to convince you buy a fat loss programme/purchase a skin treatment course/sign up for something you don't care about. Or those YouTube ads that disrupt your playlist. Not to mention those boxes at the supermarket that automatically blare a commercial when you walk by. What are you selling, heart attack remedies?
Wrapping things up
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 23/10/2015
» Gift-wrapping can make a big difference to your present, sort of like how clothes can affect your personality. While we're at that simile, putting a nice card on your present would be like adding cool accessories to your look. And we know that looks are (almost) everything these days.
#DigitalEconomy
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 16/10/2015
» I've heard about the "digital economy" for a while, and like the term "AEC", I don't really know what it means. But if it means we're going to go fully digital -- or at least planning to -- we have a lot of work ahead of us.
New clothes for Indian cabs
Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 09/10/2015
» Bangkok has long prided itself on the vibrancy of its taxis -- they make the roads look like someone has spilled a giant bag of M&M's. But are we the only city with colourful cabs? Apparently not.
