Disappointing Mexican, Happy Hour, Fixed Camera

Today I went into town to see my friend P' May. She works for USAID, the US organization that brings aid to other countries. Maybe you remember her from my post about the horse track. May is a Thai friend I met in San Francisco completely out of chance— at the horse track.

They had this really nice office and boasted how sustainable their building is. However, they probably printed a ton of brochures explaining how sustainable they are, which defeated the whole purpose. Also they leave their computer on overnight every night. I bet if they turn off half the computers every other night, it would be much more sustainable than their partition made from 25% recyclable materials.

I took some photos. Nothing amazing. Just the thought of composing a shot using creative lighting was fun again. It was also a pretty neat location.
Wishing I had some fill lights, but the lens glare was cool enough for a silhouette. 


We hung out at her work a little bit— more like waiting for her to be done with non-work related stuff. Then we went and got nearby Mexican food. I was pretty stoked. Their nachos was pretty good, but the salad and burrito was very bad. I haven't found one amazing Mexican place in Bangkok yet. It is pretty much the downfall of this city.

Just thought the reflection+color scheme were just right. 
We went to happy hour for a few drinks. Hung out at the place and talked. I saw some pretty attractive people in this neighborhood. There are a lot of office people looking like they are constantly on the catwalk.

Too bad most of the cute girls I saw tonight started lighting up a cigarette. Sigh... How fast they become unattractive is very sad to me.

I'm glad to have very great friends because I can always stand behind boasting about the good friends I have in my life to potential new friends, and they feel like you've all set a good standard. So thank you friends.

Today I also fixed the broken dial on my dslr. Happy day.

Good night!
Pete

  1. Yesterday, somebody knocked my door and asked "you want Tamale' today?". Ha ha in your face! It can't get anymore authentic than this.
