Tuk-tuk traveling #52

Over 6 million people, 50 districts and hot humid city air. In Bangkok Thailand, the transportation can be a smooth sleek convertible, to the underground bus station, or a local motor bike. All I want is to get from my house to my commercial castings. There’s too many people crowding the side of the road. To the left is the fried chicken and pork stand and a small fruit stand. A young kid from behind me runs past the stands to catch the small green bus that has way too many people to count inside. I look down and see the concrete walkway for the other 6 million residents in Bangkok Thailand. Its dry and cracked deep into the ground. The hot air at a cool 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah, I know you are all thinking that I’m crazy to think that 90 degrees Fahrenheit is cool, however there are many factors into why I dislike taking a “Tuk-Tuk” as a means of transportation. “Tuk-Tuk’s” are also called “Rickshaw’s”. They are 3 wheeled motor vehicles. They aren’t used very often these days, but foreigners love to ride them. So we are still stuck with them. They aren’t so outrageous that I would not touch one, but the Tuk-Tuk is such a difficult way to travel. Especially in Thailand. Since Bangkok has over 6 million people, can you just imagine the amount of transportation that is used? Buses alone can produce so much smoke and pollution. And to sit in a “Tuk-Tuk” for just a ride down the street is intoxicating. So if you take a tuk tuk to another part of the city, u might as well suck on a tail pipe. I’ve taken tuk tuk’s only when there isn’t any other way to travel to where I need to go. There aren’t any windows to protect you from the pollution of gas and other fumes that make up the big city air. Tuk-tuk’s are also very loud. It’s like listening to a motorcycle right next to my ear, only its right in front of you. There’s very little amount of room to sit and its difficult to not hit your head on the roof railing. Not to mention there aren’t any doors or ways to keep safe in a tuk tuk. It’s a “need to if you have to” way to travel.

Kid's Dream Job #44

When I was a young girl, I wanted to do a few different things. At first, I wanted to be a veterinarian and spend the whole day at Sea World. When I found out that you had to learn about all of the animals and having to give them shots, I didn't think that would be too fun. So my dream job as a kid quickly changed considering I was only 7 or 9 when I wanted to be a veterinarian. Then I started to become a movie buff. I would watch a action movie, one with karate scenes and fighting sticks. After the movie was over, I would want to go outside and pretend I was in the movie. I would pick up a broom and spin it around and around. Yell "Hiiyah"! Right round house kick and a right left punch. I always wanted to be the awesome hero in the movie. The totally cool woman that wears the tight leather pants and tight top with the cool shades. A big hand gun and a knife sheathed in her boot. An actress was my dream job that I wanted as a girl because I would want to pretend to be an awesome hero. Everyone would think I'm fantastic! I would save the day! Protect my family! Atleast that seemed like a great job to have when I grew up. If I was an actress now, I think I would love waking up to do a mountain climbing scene and sky diving. And to get paid while doing so? Terrific! However, when I did grow up, I went in that general direction. When I was 17, I started to be in modeling. When your in the modeling business, acting roles can sometimes pass your way. I have gotten some job offers to be in a movie. Just like my dream job. However, my dream job should of been specific when I was younger. Because my dream job was in another language? Correct, my dream job was in Thai. I'm not very familiar with the Thai language so I couldn't get the chance to play the leading role of an action movie. But that's my dream job as a kid.

Angry Tiger #68

If I could embody my anger with an animal when I'm angry, it would have to be a tiger. I know that doesn't seem "Original" but that's how I feel. Usually when I'm angry, it’s because I'm very upset or hurt. A lot of my anger comes from betrayal or harsh treatment, and I feel that tigers seem to be able to hide their pain, but if you look into their eyes, you can see the turmoil. I'm not saying that tigers are depressing, no. I love tigers. However, I think that when they get mad or angry, they tend to growl really loud and scary like. And when I'm sad and angry, I want to scream or growl. Sounds odd I know. Tigers can also get very jealous, I think. And I'm not saying I am a crazy jealous, but there are times where I get a little jealous. I tend to act like a tiger would, or at least I think I do. I think tigers get very touchy and needing attention when their jealousy radar is going off. Another trait I see in tigers that is similar to me is the way they are very reclusive and distant when they are sad. I'm not entirely sure that's how tigers act, but I have a feeling that they are. If I could turn into a tiger when I was angry, would be awesome. If I was really hurt and wanted to shout, I would love to be a big powerful tiger. First I would stand up tall and my muscles would tense up. My fur would stand up, kind of like during a defensive position. And If I saw the person that made me so angry, I would growl and roar so loud. Hissing would be a definite. My face would be terrifying.

Jurutieb's First Blog

Well, good morning everyone! Well whoever is reading my first blog ever! So I'm not really sure what i should be writing for this blog, but I'll write about when I first started this blog. I wasn't really sure what I should make as my nickname on here, and thought... why not my middle name because I'm thinking that not a lot of people have "Jurutieb" as a middle name. And if you don't know this, my middle name is Jurutieb. My middle name is my mother's maiden name. She says that the name is French, however she likes to make up stories of the old days and there are just times that I'm confused if the story ever happened. I'm kind of at a lost for something to talk about so for now, I'm off! Thanks!
