Personal Transformative Story with Jeff Satur

Image
It was June 23, 2022 that I first met the person, who transforms my life into a miracle. A miracle for my life, a miracle throughout my two years journey in Thailand. I met him for five times in one year outside. Every time I met him, I felt lucky. I auspiciously got the chance to meet him from quite a closed distance. Here is the story. One of my friends in AIT used to introduced me with the BL series named Kinn Porche the series. I started to watch it. Jeff played the role Kim in the series and he is not the main character there and his screen time is very few. His first appear in the series was in Ep 4 if I was not wrong and he did not even show his face at the time. Just seeing his back made me so interested about him. However, I was not into him that much at first but gradually and slowly I thought he was unconsciously in my mind all the time. One day, he appeared in my dream and I realized that omg, I became too much into him. You know what, the next...

An Unspoken Truth

Once in lifetime, we have encounter at least one unexpected bittering moment. So do I. This is one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life that I never wished to happen. I used to be a person who is very easy to trust people. I used to be the person who always try to give the best as possible as I can. I used to be the person who don't know much about a man. I used to be a person who don't know how to handle a relationship. I used to be a person who is not interested in others' people's affairs even in a relationship. All those things led me encounter a worst nightmare in my life. In February 2021, I met a person (will refer the person later) in Yangon who told he was studying Public Policy at Chiang Mai University. It has been three months I was coming back from Chiang Mai at that time. So, one of my collages introduced him to me at that time. I was not so interested about him at that time.                      ...

A small piece of Hope

Day "13" of Quarantine photo- internet Well........, it has been almost 13 days I arrived Thailand for the third time and the first time to Asian Institute of Technology. Of course, the Pandemic did not post an easy entrance to Thailand. Starting from the closure of Royal Thai Embassy and waiting for almost a month for the reopening of Embassy in Yangon to the process of doing quarantine for 14 days at the University was already proven my tough journey into Thailand. On the other side, nothing can stop my enthusiasm to come to Thailand to fulfill my long awaited dream of studying Master degree in the area which I really do want to explore. It is a long story to write about my enthusiasm here, so let me just leave that part. I will be coming to that part at some time. Do you think staying in an almost 18 sq meter room for two weeks is easy? I don't think so, but I do have much big problems. Sometimes I am just gazing at the big greeny trees from my balcony and wish to walk...

So Called "HOME"

Everything was so easy at that time since the ERI helped us with everything starting from visa process including show money at the bank till buying air ticket for us. Everything was so smooth and sophisticated at that that. We did not need to worry anything about the travel process as well as how we were going to live in Chiang Mai. Of course, most importantly, there was not Covid 19 affecting around the world at that time.   On the other hand, the most recent arrival to Thailand for me was one of the hardest experiences in my entire life. The Covid was ...

My First Impressions of Chiang Mai and the EarthRights School (ERS) EarthRights School taken at the second day of arriving Chiang Mai Everybody might have their first impressions when they reach new places or meet new people. The trip to Chiang Mai and the EarthRights school was the first ever flight and international trip throughout my life. Therefore, it made me experience new things and new people for my life especially, the Mitharsuu Centre Building, the staffs in the Centre and classmates of EarthRights School program 2019, and the environment of the Chiang Mai. When I first stepped my feet into the Mitharsuu Centre, I felt a very peaceful environment. A beautiful place which is full of various types of plants and trees made me breathe fresh and clean air. Moreover, the whole building is evocative when it is built eco-friendly because seeing this building took me back to an experience in the past where I had a training on environment in a mud bui...

Disruptions to Fishers' and Farmers' Livelihoods by Shwe Gas Project The Onshore Gas Terminal located in Prine Sate Kay village, Kyauk Phyu Township “We don’t want projects that will make our future disappear,” said a villager in Made Island. People in Kyauk Phyu township have long been suffering the impacts of Shwe Gas pipeline project since it was started in 2009. The livelihoods of fishers and farmers have been disrupted by Shwe Gas Project since farmers have faced land confiscation for the construction of pipelines and fishers have lost their fishing grounds and fishing nets resulting in decreased income leading to others social impacts such as children drooping out of the school and migration to others places to find for jobs. Farmers faced land grabbing from the government when the pipelines were constructed and some farmlands were destroyed by chemical and others kinds of waste from the pipeline construction. In consequence, people lost their farmlands which ...
