» Resolutions, smesolutions, am I right? Do you find yourself setting them superficially year after year, only to carry them on to the next one? Or not even bother anymore? At the same time, you know goals are essential to achievements. So maybe what we all need is to have a real and open exchange about them.

» Luxury bag owners and collectors will know too well the necessity of taking your Louis's and Chanels to "the spa" for a touch up, if not total repair.

» You didn't think we were just going to leave you men hanging when it comes to beachwear, did you? We just gave women a head's start. Now it's the men's turn to turn heads at the beach with what they're wearing. Guru rounds up a few of the best shops for stylish men's swimwear.
The age of precision
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 15/04/2016
» We've all heard of those ridiculously fit grandparents who run marathons or have abs that make us question what we're doing with our lives. At some point you've had to ask yourself, "If that's 60, 70, 80 or 100 years old, then how old am I?" In the past, this would have just been left as a hypothetical question to emphasise your feelings of inadequacy, but with the technology that exists today, you can now actually find out how old your body is.

Missing Melissa
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 22/01/2016
» Met 107 may be one of the saved waves on my car radio, but it was pure luck I wasn't surfing other channels, plugged into my iPod or opting for meditative silence when, in late December, Melissa Courtney announced the end of her nine-year run on the popular radio station. DJ Melissa, as she is better known, has brightened our dreary commutes over the years with her warm and bubbly personality, which is just as real outside the recording room. Guru sits down with the Thai-American DJ, as she talks her on-air farewell, Met moments, turtles and more.
The art of monstrosity
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 30/10/2015
» Mary Shelley would be rolling in her grave if she knew about a real school that teaches students how to make monsters. OK, perhaps students at the Make Up Arts and Technique School at Wang Thonglang (near Rajamangala Stadium) aren't going grave-digging at night to find the body parts they need, but they do spend weeks, sometimes nearly a month, making purposely messed-up facial parts from scratch.
