A long forgotten blog rediscovered

 It seems I have abandoned this little blog for a looooong, long time. It was actually my first ever blog. I have started my blogging hobby on this little blogger platform when blogging was starting to be popular. That was the time before the popularity of social media, namely Facebook. We usually write blog posts and then tag each other in our posts (just link to each other). It was a nice community of bloggers from across the world. Life was simple.

Then came WordPress and Facebook. Two giants in the WebSphere. Most bloggers either move to Facebook or host their own sites using the WordPress platform. I simply forgot this little blog.

A few days ago, I just found my own blog by accident. It gave me a kind of nostalgia, a deja-vu. You know the feeling. And I think I should start writing on this tiny blog. Whatever, it doesn\"t need to be intelligent or useful. Just anything that might pop up in my mind. And this is my first post after a decade of disappearing from the blogger platform.

I don\"t think anyone would be reading this post. After a decade of inactivity, only very few people stumble upon this blog by accident. I used to have more than 500 page views a day a decade ago. Now, it\"s only around 10-15 visits a day here. 

Anyway, this is a place I could jot down my thoughts whatever these may be. 

If you ever happen to have read this post, please do post something in the comment.

Thanks.

Under the rain in Chin State

It is raining all day, almost everyday. The roads become quite wet and muddy. I am really traped inside now. It is inconvenient to go out in the rain. Whenever it rains in Chin state, the temperature drops dramatically, and it becomes very cold. And the wind also blows quite strong. The sound of wind blowing through the pine tree is so loud and terrifying. And the thick fog reduces visibility to almost zero. Everything becomes quite gloomy. In this small little town in Chin State, in the heavy rain and thick fog, I am traped indoor. Although I want to go out and take photos, this sad weather doesn't let me do what I want to do. So all I could do is to lie down in my bed and wish for sunlight. Because of continuous rain, I couldn't wash my old clothes. Smell coming from the pile of old clothes in the corner of my room is now quite unbearable. And I am gradually running out of clean clothes. If the rain doesn't stop in a few day, I think I will wrap myself in a big blanket li

How to insert images and pictures in Gmail

Gmail is cool, really cool and I use it as my primary mail. I used to use other emails before but now I use gmail as my sole email. I even assess my office pop mail using gmail's pop collector. However, there are a few things that I like to see in gmail. 1. You cannot insert images and pictures into gmail message. You can send them as an attachment but you cannot insert them into the message body. 2. You cannot format the message using html. That is too bad. OK, they are too bad but you can still do these, and it is not difficult. Very easy indeed. To so these, first, open a google document. Write your message with message in it. Just write anything you want and insert any picture or image anywhere you want in the message. After you finish, just select the whole page and copy. Then go to gmail, open the compose window, and paste. Done! It is that easy. Now what if you want to do some html formatting? Go to google pages, create a new web page (no, you don't need to publish it),

How to address a person properly in Myanmar

In Myanmar, if you want to be seen polite, you should be able to use proper title when you address somebody. Burmese use appropriate titles and pronouns when addressing each other. When you are talking to an elderly male, you should put “ U ” (pronounce Oo) in front of his name. Thus, Mr. Ba becomes U Ba . This is also true if the person you are addressing is a government official or somebody of high social status. When addressing an elderly female or a female official, address her with “ Daw ” in front of her name. (E.g. Daw Mya ). When talking to a male of the same age and social status, you should put “ Ko ” in front of his name. ( Ko Mya ). If a female of the same age, use “ Ma ” instead. ( Ma Mya ). To a younger male, you can either use “ Ko ” or “ Maung ”. ( Ko Mya or Maung Mya ). To a female of younger age, use “ Ma ” also. ( Ma Mya ). To address children, use “ Maung ” for a boy and “ Ma ” for a girl. You should also be able to use proper pronouns when talking to Myanmar pe
