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.

How to #restore a #forgotten passcode

I had this shocking experience about remembering my screen lock passcode😅 I know, I know!!! it's part of growing old😂 They say it's called "the senior moment" when you constantly and surprisingly forget something as weird as your mobile's screen's passcode. To be honest, I was speechless myself. I couldn't believe I could be so stupid and how on earth could I even forget the passcode that I always use to unlock my iPhone 14 plus. This was the first time. Okay, I admit that I also have this forgetful syndrome when it comes to email passwords- That's it! I almost cried due to my stupidity😅😭 I've pressed a combination of different passwords that I can remember, but none of those helped. My mobile was already locked for 24 hours on the 18th of February, 2023.    

So what did I do? How did I resolve this problem? How did I unlock my iPhone 14 Plus?

I was hopeless, so the first thing that comes to my mind was to contact Apple Technical Support. I have to book an appointment so the problem is noted or recorded. I talked with the staff she was kind and patient listening to my situation. She referred me to the iMedic at Fashion Island Mall, Ramintra the following day, and she said she will record my case.

I was at the iMedic on the 21st of February 2023. I got a queue at the counter, and when it was my turn, the lady approached me. I told my problem about the screen lock due to a forgotten password or pin code. She said that it wasn't covered by Apple. I was confused and answered, "it is still under warranty, I bought it in December 2022". Besides, the face lock didn't work🙄 (she slightly smiled.. as if I'm a joke or what?🙄) so I had to use the screen passcode, which resulted to lock screen. She didn't even check the warranty coverage yet, but she already said it's not covered and it's a different Apple Shop. 

Beware of this alibi. I was lucky that I went to Apple Technical Support and chatted with one of them. I asserted that I spoke with someone online and she referred me to this shop. When I said that you have to look at your system under my name, contact Apple Tech Support to verify if I'm telling the truth. I gave them my iPhone 14 Plus, and she said that it was okay for now. It's free but next time, it'll cost 500 Baht to unlock. 

So, she told me to come back after an hour to pick up my mobile. They restore it for me for free. Thank God!❤️ My reasoning skill saved me from a 500 Baht charge (seriously?🙄). Then, I came back to get my phone it was as good as new. They asked me to use my iCloud account (email and password), and it was done. However, it won't be 100% restored until I remember the freaking screen passcode from before. 

I didn't know if I'll cry, laugh, or be angry at myself sometimes. I really hate forgetting something🤯 so now, I just wrote down my passwords and sent them to my other email and create a backup account in Gmail to keep all my passwords there and my important documents. I also have only 3 passwords to remember instead of 6!🥴  

I went home happy!🤗😍😘 It was a very important lesson about simply remembering a passcode.
