  #FuneralTalk

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 29/01/2016

  » My grandfather passed away when I was eight, and while I can’t remember much about his funeral, I remember thinking all of my aunties looked a bit odd without their usual make-up and hairdos. They told me they weren’t allowed to dress up while mourning.

  #PetStory

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 11/12/2015

  » I am not a pet person. I don’t hate animals, but the idea of being responsible for the life of a creature that cannot tell me what he wants kind of scares me. But by twisted fate, one day my sister brought home a puppy. And then we were stuck with him.

  #ILovePRPeople

  Guru, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 03/07/2015

  » As a part of my glamorous, coveted job, I am in contact with about 100 PR representatives per day. OK, maybe five, but still. While most of them are pleasant and send me food on a regular basis, I've had my share of traumatising experiences that I can't seem shake out of my pretty head. I'm not just talking about PR people exclusively — the young(er) generation of office workers can also drive office aunties like me up the wall.
