🔊🔊🔊 Public service announcement!! I am so so honored to congratulate my dad, Wanlop Kachinthorn, for receiving his noble award recognized by the Consulate General and His Majesty, the King of Thailand, for his diligent efforts, hard work and dedication as President of the Thai Association of Northern California. Along with spending countless hours skewing chicken satays and managing our two restaurants, taking care of our huge family, and for the last 5 years planning and organizing heritage events, my dad has been a true inspiration in preserving and keeping alive our Thai culture and unity across the Thai communities in Northern California and beyond. Mom and I can't express it enough how proud of you we are!!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕 (at Royal Thai Consulate Resident)

Since my first year at UH, in my first ceramics class here, I met a very kind, sweet, old lady who just loved to come in to do ceramics for fun. For a while she was gone, it turns out she was bedridden in the hospital. She was battling cancer and defeat it once, although it came back, keeping her at home and preventing her from coming into the studio to work. Today she walked in the studio with her great big smile and immediately I was happy to see her, just as always. She gave me a loving hug and handed to me a four leaf clover she had found and pressed from her yard which she grows every year, hoping there would be a few. I was so happy she gifted me with this symbol of good luck and I only wished I could send her the same positive energy. Karma goes a long way, so I hope to see Harriet again very soon. 💕💕🍀 (at UH Manoa Art Building)

Up late cleaning, crafting and writing papers. Our Sunday brunch was lovely and I absolutely love these Polaroid cameras (and posing with cute skateboards) 😂 (at HEAVENLY)
