» 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.

» Religion is a sensitive topic and needs to be approached with extra care, so much so that people sometimes avoid talking about it altogether.
Virtual reality can be just that - virtual

» My friend recently revealed something I never imagined would happen to someone I know. She told me that our mutual, distant friend had been creating a fake life on Facebook, posting pictures taken from other websites.
The fine line between teaching and cheating
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 06/01/2015
» When I was a second-grader, I remember being assigned by my art teacher to draw an image of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. What's an eight-year-old to do? I told my mother to help me out.
