Weekend Snapshot: Disney on ice

Disney on ice comes to Bangkok once a year. The fact that I don't like to watch it alone always made me unable to see it for more than a decade. Finally this year I found someone who wants to witness it as much as I do. Off we went to Impact Arena where it was shown last week. I took these shots from my seat:


Smoke on ice...


The plot/smoke thickens:


My friend turned to me smiling when the nickname a college sweetheart baptized me with boomed out of the speakers-Anastasia. "I have always been game for your version of charm, Ivan, haven't I?" I blew a thought while snapping into the magic.


An enchanting refrain engulfed the entire arena - "believe in your dreams... someday my prince will come..." It faded before I started going sentimental. This princess has obviously found her prince:


My prince could still be in some pond leaping and croaking. I'm not sure if I could kiss a frog with bulging eyes and serpent-green skin in real life though. But I was 100% happy to be transported into a magical world for an hour.

Oh yes, it would be fun to watch shows like this with a friend. The last time I watched Disney on Ice was years ago when my daughter was still in preparatory school.

What a fun series of photographs and great text to go with it. I have a lot of ornamental frogs in my garden. I joke that I've tried kissing them but they don't turn into a prince. I'd never try that with a living leaping eye bulging frog.

A little boy's tiara

It's a week abundant with life's little pleasures, and I'm enjoying such a great Friday mood with the FFF ladies over at Susanne's Living to Tell the Story . If you are dropping by from Mommy Moments, please scroll down a bit; thank you. Now the highlights of my week -- 1. Birthday dinner at Cabbages and Condoms . A friend put up with my fondness for dining out and exploring restaurants. C & C supports social development programs of the PDA, an organization that complements the Thai government's effort to promote family planning. 2. Cafe de Tu . We took the sky train to get to a posh mall for dessert. There's a lovely ambience for a slice of chocolate banana cake and a long glass of iced lemon tea. It was sheer relaxation verbalizing ephemeral wishes. From the high ceiling pretty lamps cast off a warm, soft glow making the place conducive for twilight dreams. 3. Work over lunch at Fuji . Now comes a hard, raw bit. I had to carry work to one lunch bu...

Newborn Days and Foggy Mornings

Friday's Fave Five: Foggy Mornings (Please scroll down for Mommy Moments) i. Refund . The business office refunded my visa problem expenses. I had to pay the fine but they took care of everything else which was a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect them to and I already conditioned my mind to face a few deprivations. A colleague who is privy to the vice president told me, "They refunded you because they need you." I don't know whether I should believe it. Foreign employees are sometimes treated like necessary evil around here. But well, it's the refund that's the fave. ii. Foggy mornings . I counted two early mornings of fog. I could not see buildings 2 minute-walk away. The illusion of cold made me smile. iii. Bible Heroes , Ceejay's new DVD interest. He never wanted to watch it when he was 3. I'm glad he's back to christian stuff. For now it's goodbye, Buddhism. iv. Phone conversation with Mama . Mozart's (on left side...
