Review: Noo Yoo Piercing Shop - Getting Ears Pierced for the first time

On the 27th of April, my second daughter celebrated her 13th birthday. Her special day has two parts: we had her birthday cake on the exact date and went to an overnight birthday party at a hotel, which I will reveal in detail in my next blog.

A day before her birthday, her dad and I agreed to take her to Fashion Island Mall, Raminthra to have her ear pierced for the very first time. My eldest daughter suggested this place called "Noo Yoo". It is located on the 2nd floor, 587-598 /7-9 Raminthra Road Kannayao, Bangkok, Thailand 10510.  

Initially, I was confused about the Google Map app on my iPhone 14 plus because it says this way going to Promenade but it wasn't really in there. It even prompted me to arrive at my destination to find the store only to see nothing. We asked about 10 people who have been working there in random shops, but they added to our confusion a bit complicated about how to navigate. It took us an hour to finally reached the shop which is located in the middle part of the way in front of Watson's. We were so thankful to the young lady who taught us to go in the right direction, step by step. She was indeed very patient and helpful.   

So then, when we arrive the staff was accommodating. She explained the prices and the jewelry that is possible to use for a first-timer, like Sofia. I chose the gold-plated, hypoallergenic simple small round design earrings for her because they could go along or match just any type of clothes, and color.  They cost 590.00 Thai Baht NET with ear piercing service included. The setup was cool and easy. The lady did it super fast and my daughter didn't cry during the whole thing. Here is the video of what happened during the piercing and how did she react.

Overall, it was a great experience for my daughter. She loved it! She was planning to change the earrings after 2 months. The lady said she's supposed to keep it dry and avoid getting the ears wet for about a week or so. She could wait for the ears pierced to heal, first before changing the earrings for about two weeks. We went for dinner right after because we were so hungry and tired of walking around in circles at the mall to find it. Thank God, it's a mission accomplished and the birthday girl is happy!❤️❤️❤️  

Siam Shoppe by Elektra

 

I'm super excited to announce the soft launch of my online shop called "Siam Shoppe by Elektra🦋" Tuesday, 4th of May, 2023. I have a new website to be looking into, for the days to come. I started posting pictures of the shirts, and a video of the dress collection.

My online shop is not limited to selling clothes, but will also expand to services and rentals. Furthermore, I was planning to sell dried goods and Thai teas, exporting them to the Philippines and other parts of the world for retail and wholesale.

My ideas about services are:

• ESL tutorials (online or face-to-face/individual or groups)
• tourist guide
• encoding and translating stuff
• essay writing or any writing  jobs
• consultation about all sorts (travel in Thailand, computer stuff, etc.)
• driving

When I think about rentals:

• car or vehicle rental
• bed space rental for those who are just starting their lives here in Bangkok, instead of paying an expensive deposit and advance fee for apartment rent. 

I have chunks of ideas on how to monetize my various skills. Yet, I'm still learning to improve myself as I go along.

What did I learn as I navigate through all these?

I learned that nothing in life is free, we need to work really hard for it to be happy and become successful in life. Although, success is subjective. Only you can assess and determine the key areas, and objectives of your dreams and figure out if you really have succeeded. We have different time zones. We were raised and grew differently, we journey in different heights, lengths, and frequencies.  

Finally, when I look back on when I was young then and now. I realized how mature, brave, patient, and open-minded I've become. I never give up in life. I'm still fighting to live and overcome life's challenges day by day, one step at a time.

I'll pray and surrender everything to the Lord for whatever the outcome of my business venture is.

Review: Suki Tee Noi in Minburi, Bangkok

 Suki Teenoi is a Thai buffet restaurant. They have 21 stores nationwide. We went there last December 2022. 

Review: Dookki Tteokbokki (Korean Buffet) at Promenade

Review of Dookki Topokki, Korean buffet, price 299 Net, all-you-can-eat for one and a half hours, stuffed, and taste the various appetizing flavors of Korean sauce @Promenade  Raminthra.

       안녕하십니까 (is read as Annyeonghashimneika) Greetings in Korean is like this when you're referring to the elderly, with high authority, or someone whom you have great respect. Of course, Elektra has got something to share with you again. It's a newly opened Korean Restaurant branch at Promenade Mall, Raminthra. 

 

You can try coming in here with your family, relatives, friends, or just yourself. The food here is very sumptuous and all I can say is that the price for this buffet is all worth it. I was really stuffed! 

Let's get to know Dookki Topokki, a very famous Korean buffet restaurant with so many branches nationwide. There are Korean dishes such as Topokki (of course that's how they got the name of the store), Ramyeon (or the instant noodles), fish skewers, Topokki skewers, Japchae (similar to pancit bihon or sotanghon in the Philippines) Jajangmyeon (black spaghetti), Kimchi, fried chicken, spring roll, onion rings coated with flour, seafood, chicken, pork ham, bacon, beef, different kinds of Topokki in a hot pot (suki), fruits and drinks, all of which are priced at 299 Thai Baht net for adults. Kids who are below 120 cm in height are free. On the other hand, it costs 199 Thai Baht. It's not advisable to take someone who is so picky or just eat a small amount of food because it's gonna be a waste of money 🥴😅😂 Not a problem if you've got loads of cash, though! 

I went with my three daughters and a friend to celebrate Christmas and New Year. It's all worth it and we did enjoy the chatting over meal.
