PAD 2nd concert
































































On Tuesday the 2nd of December 2008 Anti-government protesters (PAD) are celebrating and order by Thailand's constitutional court to dissolve the country's ruling party and ban the prime minister Somchai Wongsawat from the politics for five years. Ever since then the moments that the protesters have been waiting for in about 190 days fighting for their own country finally the justice brought them the happiness and victory!....the rest is a very complicated history (dont ask me).....

Ever since then the PAD are organising to regroup again and again by having a small group of a discussion about a complicated politic in any part of Thailand and a large group meeting on every Friday at "(บ้านพระอาทิตร์ - ban pa ar tid) where the ASTV station is located.

Recently the PAD have organised the politic concert in every part of Thailand in every month. The first ever politic concert was held at Chonburi district and the place was crowded with all the PAD.

On last Saturday the 31st of January it was the 2nd concert that was held at Saraburi district 1-2hr drive from Bangkok and this time again the PAD are showing the love in the people's democracy and the interest in the complicated politic. I was they to witnessed the powers of the democracy and the powers of the people~^!)...

Barack Obama Inauguration speech













Barack Obama will becomes the first black African-American to be the 44th president in the United state of America history.

Here is his speech, good speech indeed? well have a read.



My fellow citizens

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and co-operation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we, the people, have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.



Serious challenges

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.



Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America they will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.



Nation of 'risk-takers

We remain a young nation, but in the words of scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.



In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and travelled across oceans in search of a new life. For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West endured the lash of the whip and ploughed the hard earth. For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg, Normandy and Khe Sahn.


Well..good speech indeed! but for more speech and thanks to BBC News

Leave out all the rest - Linkin Park

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid


I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest


Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest


Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are
