Valentine’s Day, 2008

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of lover to express their loves to each other. It is on February 14th of every year. The symbol of Valentine’s Day is a red heart – shaped; however, the lover can express in other patterns such as chocolates, cards, flowers and others.


Why I write a blog about Valentine’s Day? Because Valentine’s Day is coming and every year, Valentine’s Day is a special occasion of my family that is my father’s birthday, so my family arranges the celebration and gives the gifts to my father every year. But, this year is special more than every year because I will give a chocolate to someone that I like him very much.

He is a senior in school of Law same as me. I have liked him for five months but I could express to him that I like him because that time he had a girlfriend so I must keep my feeling all along. Nevertheless, the destiny is taking side with me now because he and his girlfriend were terminated by some reason about a month that I just knew when I went to ALSA Camp that made me very happy. I know that I think like this, it is very bad but I like him really.



At this time, the Valentine’s Day is coming; I decided that I will do a Valentine’s chocolate and a Valentine’s card to give him to express my feeling. So yesterday, I went to buy the ingredient of Valentine’s chocolate such as chocolate bars, almonds, and butters. When I walked to choose the chocolate, I met chocolate which has a guitar – shaped, that I bought it suddenly because the man who I like, he plays the guitar and the last thing that I bought is a Valentine’s card. However, I did not forget the gift for my father. I used a long time to choose the gift for my father because I did not know that what I should buy for him. Finally, I bought a coffee cup which has feature, a man is growing a love tree, and for my father because every morning, my father likes to drink a coffee so I thought; when he uses this coffee cup, he will miss me all the time.

Valentine’s Day, I have two plans that are cooking the Valentine’s chocolate, first is for a person I like, I will do chocolate in a pattern of a small piece about 18 pieces that has an almond inside of each piece. I will pack it in a middle silver box and tie it by blue ribbon. Then the Valentine’s chocolate for my father and my friends; I will make it in a pattern of a big piece same as the cookie of Ms. Fill because I will give each person just one piece.


Finally, I am very excited to give the Valentine’s chocolate and the Valentine’s card to him because I am so shy to express my feeling and I fear that he will not be pleased because he thinks about me as a sister. Then, I hope, when he gets my chocolate, he will have a happiness; even though he is not pleases with my Valentine’s chocolate, I wish he will not change the good relationships between us into bad way. I hope indeed.

ALSA CAMP

Hello, everyone. From the last article which was ALSA, I told you that I went to interview to be a caretaker, who will look after the delegates from Japan that they will come to Thailand on 13 – 22 February, 2008. Now, I knew the result of the interview that I was selected to be the caretaker. When I knew the result, I was very happy because at the first time, I thought; other people who came to interview to be the caretaker same as me, they were excellently on speaking English and having knowledge more than me. After that I asked the committee why I was selected to be caretaker, they answered me that because they wanted the caretaker who has cleverness to solve the problems, and I have it. Now I am a caretaker, I must go to ALSA Camp to learn working about ALSA and a duty of caretaker.




ALSA Camp was arranged at Nakornratchasrima on 1st – 3rd February, 2008. The amount of people who went to ALSA Camp is 29 persons that involved one teacher who look after the ALSA of Assumption University. When we arrived a place which we must stay about 3 days and 2 nights, we thought; there had a water and an electricity to use or not because there were the farm of cow. But, when we went to a house which we must stay, it had the water and electricity that made me very happy.

After we kept a bag, the committee called us to hold a meeting to study about ALSA such as history, objective, structure, and activity that everybody in ALSA should know and they divided the freshman about 18 persons into 3 groups for giving the project about ALSA. They wanted each group to make one project, which could do for real and do the advantages to ALSA of Thailand or Assumption University. They gave 4 hours to think for the project and gave four seniors for us, so we could ask the questions, but they could not teach us to do the project, so we must try to do by ourselves that maybe correct or incorrect. In the end of the first day, the committee and the teacher gave us to report the project to them in the next day after that they commented each group about the wrong thing in the project, we must rewrite it again and do the project like a real working in our life.



The second day, we did the project with discourage because the comment that our group received are very bad but in this day, the four seniors helped and taught us to do the project so we could do it correctly. However, the step of the project could become true or not, it depend on ourselves that we could pass each step which had something to block us. In the end of the second day, it had the ceremony of the camp that is open - mind time that was everyone could say everything that they want without attention anyone such as I could admire the senior or my friends, I could reprove someone without the penalty. The reason that had open - mind because the requirement give everybody to know the advantage and disadvantage of them and bring everything which listened to improve themselves that made me like this ceremony very much.

The last day, we did a plan year of ALSA which is the activity that ALSA will do in 2008 - 2009 such as public speaking, moot court, conference, forum, study trip, and others. After we did the plan year, we left from the camp about 3.00 P.M. that we visited the Kru Tor restaurant to buy a curry puff and other souvenir for our family. We arrived at Assumption University about 7.00 P.M. with safety.


Finally, I was very happy when I went to the ALSA Camp because I met new friends and the senior as well. I knew the system of working in ALSA that I would like to do all the time that I think; it can help me to do everything carefully and systematically. So, I will improve myself to be a good person in the future. At last, I will meet Japanese and practice English to advance.
